Forbes – It wasn’t a fantastic year for the world’s largest hedge fund firm, but Bridgewater Associates’ key All Weather fund did finish in solid positive territory in 2014, returning 8.6% net of fees, according to an investment report reviewed by Forbes.
The All Weather fund is an important part of billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio’s Bridgwater empire, which manages some $155 billion. All Weather makes up about $80 billion of Bridgewater’s assets and employs a so-called risk-parity strategy that tries to consistently generate positive returns by leveraging up bond investments to balance out portfolios.
