Ray Dalio Completes Leadership Transition at Bridgewater Associates

After nearly five decades at the helm of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, Ray Dalio has officially completed his leadership transition. Dalio, who founded the firm in 1975, is no longer serving as one of the three co-chief investment officers (CIOs). However, he will remain involved as a CIO mentor and a member of the Operating Board.

New Leadership Takes the Helm

The transition, which began in February, has been finalized following the completion of all legal, regulatory, and investor requirements. Moving forward, Bridgewater Associates will be led by:

• Nir Bar Dea and Mark Bertolini, who will serve as co-CEOs.
• Greg Jensen and Bob Prince, who will take on the roles of co-chief investment officers.

This leadership shift marks a significant milestone for Bridgewater as it continues to navigate the evolving landscape of global markets. Dalio’s enduring influence on the firm’s culture and investment strategies is expected to persist, even as he steps back from day-to-day leadership.

The transition underscores Bridgewater’s commitment to maintaining continuity and stability while embracing new perspectives to drive future success. Investors and industry watchers will closely monitor how the new leadership team shapes the firm’s direction in the years to come.
