Episode Details

Bridgewater’s Pure Alpha fund surged 8.1% in the first half of the year, defying market chaos fueled by events like the Iran conflict. Amid a turbulent year for hedge funds, Bridgewater’s rebound follows a bold strategic reset under CEO Nir Bar Dea, who took the helm after Ray Dalio’s departure. Key moves included restricting new capital, returning assets to clients, and scaling back fund size to boost returns — all while leveraging AI strategies since 2018.
