CEO Nir Bar Dea Joins Bloomberg Invest to Discuss Global Paradigm Shifts and Bridgewater’s Playbook
March 4, 2025
Building on a recent panel discussion at FII Priority in Miami, CEO Nir Bar Dea joins Bloomberg’s Sonali Basak to discuss the impact of recent geopolitical changes on the global economy and how Bridgewater is positioned to help clients adapt. He starts by outlining the three major forces shaping today’s macroeconomic landscape—the paradigm shift from globalization to what Bridgewater calls Modern Mercantilism, increasing portfolio concentration and vulnerabilities, and technological disruption unfolding at exponential speed. Drawing from Bridgewater's cutting-edge application of AI and machine learning, Nir also shares the importance of being a practitioner and mapping changes systematically. In discussing Bridgewater’s differentiated investment process and fundamental focus on meritocracy, Nir provides insight into his personal background, what led him to join Bridgewater, and how that has shaped his perspective on recent global events.
