Bridgewater Associates

[AUM: $125B | Pure Alpha Strategy | Macro Focus] [Good] Ray Dalio's flagship delivered 33% returns in 2025 with Pure Alpha hitting record profits. 30-year track record: 11.4% average annualized returns. Exceptional Asian strategies (36.9% Asia, 34.2% China). [Bad] Caps inflows on Pure Alpha, limiting growth opportunities. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. [Verdict] World's largest hedge fund with legendary macro expertise and proven uncorrelated returns. Best for institutional diversification.
