Working at Bridgewater

Bridgewater is engaged in a tireless effort to develop a fundamental and systematic understanding of how the world’s markets and economies work. That understanding is translated into investment and economic insights that help us achieve an unparalleled level of partnership with our global institutional clients.

Powering this engine requires a diverse community of investment professionals, technologists, managers and other specialists. The firm attracts independent thinkers who share a commitment to achieving excellence in their respective lines of work and operating in our unique culture of radical transparency and idea meritocracy. Bridgewater’s principal offices are located in Westport, CT — an hour outside New York City.

The Bridgewater Experience

The unifying experience at Bridgewater is meaningful work and meaningful relationships — the unique and lasting personal bonds forged out of a purposeful, rigorous, and inclusive work environment. The culture of our firm emphasizes high standards and continuous learning and improvement, centered around a management philosophy described in founder Ray Dalio’s
Principles: Life and Work.

"One of the things that keeps me here is the people…Throughout my career I've found that across the Research department and Analytics more broadly, people are more than willing to reach out and provide career advice and make themselves available even when they're incredibly busy."

Kate

Investment Associate, Investment Engine

"As we transform our capabilities, the role of a trader is changing. There is less pressing of buttons and picking up the phone to trade and more thinking critically about what we are doing, our strategies, our systems and how we can continue to evolve. We are shaping our desk for what the future of trading here looks like and that is exciting."

Tobi

Head of Trading Execution

"When I was on the equities team, my work was very much centered on the question of: What is the best investment process for Bridgewater? In Client Service, I’m trying to answer questions like: How do we partner best with our clients and help them reach their goals, given the unique circumstances they face?"

Nina

Co-Head of AI & ML Investment Strategy

"For Bridgewater to respond well to an event of COVID's magnitude, it takes more than just one person or team — it takes the whole organization. It's been inspiring to see all aspects of the company rally around this global challenge to meet our core resiliency goals while caring for each other in creative and unique ways."

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Critical to our Meritocracy

At Bridgewater our aspiration is to have a vibrant idea meritocracy, which requires not only the most talented individuals, but also the best portfolio of people - meaning rich diversity of thought, which comes, in part, from diversity of background, identity, experience and so much more. We pursue inclusion because it’s how we unlock the power of that diversity and ensure the best ideas get heard. Equity is about making sure our structures are fair and reinforcing of our commitment to merit.
