Bridgewater Associates

Bridgewater Associates is a global macro investment firm founded in 1975. It works with large institutional investors, aiming to build a cause-and-effect understanding of how markets and economies work and turn that into research, returns and investment solutions. The firm has codified much of its approach into a systematic investment process that combines human judgment with machine intelligence, and it has put a growing focus on applying AI to its investment decisions.

The firm publishes research and commentary from its co-chief investment officers and CEO on topics such as modern mercantilism, AI policy and portfolio positioning, often through its Daily Observations series. Its public site is mainly aimed at institutional clients, alumni and people interested in its research rather than individual retail investors.
