<p><span data-contrast="none">Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm, focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for the most sophisticated global institutional investors. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Our investment process is driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how the world’s markets and economies work — using cutting-edge technology to validate and execute on timeless and universal investment principles. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

<p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Our Culture</span></strong><span data-contrast="none"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself. The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a </span><a href="https://www.bridgewater.com/culture/bridgewaters-original-philosophy"><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-charstyle="Hyperlink">Philosophy Statement </span></span></a><span data-contrast="auto">which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on </span><a href="https://www.bridgewater.com/culture/bridgewaters-idea-meritocracy"><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-charstyle="Hyperlink">Meritocracy.</span></span></a><span data-contrast="auto"> Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it’s the engine that powers everything else.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
