I am in the investment world and have long found Dalio to be crazy on the order of batshit level, and frankly there are a number of issues regarding Bridgewater that make my BS detector go wild. Their returns are a complete mystery to me. They charge high fees and consistently beat the market with low volatility, without leverage, and owning an extremely diversified group of assets, none of which are farther down the risk spectrum (eg equities, VC, etc). I haven't seen even the most sophisticated alternative fund allocators (eg big university endowments) sufficiently explain what it is that Bridgewater does.

Unrelated, since Jon Rubinstein is the co-CEO of Bridgewater, perhaps it does have some relevance to HN. (Although I have a side bet with a friend that he will leave in less than 24 months)
