Our Culture
Our culture is anchored in excellence, meaning constant improvement, and it is deeply tied to our mission. Because markets are objective, competitive, and getting smarter everyday, we need to keep rapidly improving to have any chance of beating them. Truth is our most essential tool for engaging with the markets and constantly improving because once you know what's true about your problems and opportunities, you can determine how to get better. Valuing truth means being transparent about your decision-making and mistakes, giving and receiving feedback with humility, and fighting for the best answers over hierarchy, ego, or self-interest. Operating this way is hard – it's only possible because we build meaning in our work and relationships. This meaning comes from the audacity of the mission, and the joy of working alongside people who make you a better version of yourself. The culture, like Bridgewater itself, is always evolving. In 1997 our founder Ray Dalio wrote down his lessons, starting with a Philosophy Statement which remains our foundation. This later evolved into a set of 300+ Principles. In 2022, when Ray transitioned the company, we re-underwrote several of those principles and evolved others, with a specific focus on Meritocracy. Today the culture sits, alongside our people, as our most important edge. When we get it right, it’s the engine that powers everything else.

This entails developing great investment strategies reflecting our expertise, generating alpha in the markets, researching and publishing our understanding of the macroeconomic environment, and designing solutions to help our clients invest across the region.
Bridgewater has a long history as an asset manager in Asia. It started when our founder, Ray Dalio, first visited China in 1984, and we have been managing money for sophisticated institutional investors in the Asia-Pacific region ever since our first Chinese client invested in 1993. Trading Asian markets has always been a core part of our global macro investment strategies, and several Asian economies feature prominently in the research we have published on debt cycles and the changing world order. We opened our first foreign office in China, and in 2018 we launched our first China-focused investment strategy, which has since grown to become the largest wholly foreign-owned private fund in China.
About Your Role
As a Research Associate on the Asia Solutions team, you’re on a mission to understand the fundamental drivers of markets and turn that understanding into systematic trading strategies and investment advice for our clients. You’ll help expand our understanding of how economies work and distill that understanding into systematic trading strategies. You’ll be wrestling with questions like: How do economic actors behave and what drives their actions? and How can we systematically monitor and predict their actions?
Through your focus on China’s onshore equities, you’ll be expected to cultivate a high level of expertise in Asian markets, enriching the team’s knowledge of industry and company fundamentals, staying attuned to regulatory changes, and independently formulating investment ideas within the region.
You will be a click for the role if you:

The anticipated onsite requirement for this role is four days per week at our New York City campus.
Compensation
