Since Bridgewater’s founding in 1975, the Daily Observations has been central to how we process the world and turn understanding into investment insights—driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how markets and economies work.
Written daily, the BDO—which we call “the wire” internally—distills our insights on the most important dynamics of markets and economies, and provides our clients, policymakers, the Oval Office, and investors around the world a ‘glimpse over the shoulder’ of Bridgewater investors.
In the video above, our co-CIOs Bob Prince, Greg Jensen, Karen Karniol-Tambour, founder Ray Dalio, and some of our senior investors and editors share the story of the Daily Observations: its origin, its role in our investment process, and how the writing process has evolved through time.
Explore a selection of Daily Observations that represent our approach to understanding economies and markets—and highlight how we were processing some of the most important events of the last few decades:
