Bridgewater Associates
Bridgewater Associates appears in E162.康波周期中的AI：新技术总在萧条期爆发，bad times make good people as the familiar reference point for Risk Parity-style macro allocation. The episode does not analyze Bridgewater as a company; it uses the firm as shorthand for a multi-asset approach that balances risk across asset classes rather than concentrating risk in the largest nominal allocation.
The source’s main claim is that risk-parity-like strategies can be understood as earning from broad national credit and money expansion, because money eventually flows into equities, bonds, commodities, or other assets. The limitation is also explicit: during liquidity crises, correlations can rise together and Asset Correlation assumptions can fail.
vol.110.投资就是对世界观的投票｜《迈出资产配置第一步》完结篇 adds Ray Dalio and all-weather investing as an Investment Worldview Fit example. The firm therefore appears both as a technical allocation reference and as a reminder that a method works best when its risk worldview fits the person using it.
