Ray Dalio

Ray Dalio, a global macro investor for over 50 years, founded Bridgewater Associates from his New York City apartment and led it to become the world’s largest hedge fund and the fifth most significant private company in the U.S., according to Fortune Magazine. His innovative approaches, including risk parity, alpha overlay, and the All Weather strategy, revolutionized institutional investing and earned him multiple lifetime achievement awards. Dalio has advised global policymakers and was named one of TIME’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” due to his impact on macroeconomic policy.

Now a senior investor and board member at Bridgewater, Dalio is also a #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles: Life and Work, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order, and Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises. He holds a BS in Finance from C.W. Post College and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Dalio, married to Barbara for over 40 years, is a dedicated philanthropist focused on ocean exploration and equal opportunities in education, healthcare, and finance.
