50 Years of the Bridgewater Daily Observations Throughout our history, the Daily Observations—or what we call “the wire”—has been our way of giving our clients and policymakers a real-time view into how we’re processing the world.

Our Founder

Ray Dalio founded Bridgewater in 1975 from his two-bedroom apartment and grew it over 47 years into the global institution it is today. Over those years, Ray served in a variety of positions, including Bridgewater’s CEO, CIO, and Chairman, shaping the firm’s innovative approaches to investing and its unique culture. He stepped down from being CEO in 2017, as CIO in the summer of 2020, as Chairman at the end of 2021, and is now focused on mentoring those at Bridgewater and beyond.

Here we tell the story of Ray's life and career journey, from first becoming an investor, then starting and building Bridgewater, to now being in a new phase of his life after he turned the firm over to the next generation of leaders and is primarily focused on passing along the principles he learned to help others succeed.
