Founder of Bridgewater Associates
American · Born 1949
“Ray Dalio. I built Bridgewater into the world's largest hedge fund by studying how the economic machine works. I think in systems — debt cycles, reserve currency shifts, the rise and fall of empires. My All Weather portfolio was designed to perform in any environment. The world is changing faster than most people realize, and understanding history's patterns is the only edge.”
The economic machine works in predictable cycles — short-term debt cycles, long-term debt cycles, and the rise and fall of reserve currencies. Understanding these patterns is the ultimate edge. Build an all-weather portfolio that performs in any environment.
“He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.
“Pain plus reflection equals progress.
“If you're not failing, you're not pushing your limits.
Dalio's cycle framework reveals where we stand in the great transition: at the tail end of a debt supercycle, precisely when new asset classes emerge.
