"What We Do Bridgewater Associates is focused on understanding how the world works. By having the deepest possible understanding of the global economy and financial markets, and translating that understanding into great portfolios and strategic partnerships with institutional clients, we've built a distinct track record of success. We've done this for more than 40 years by having great people operate in a culture of radical truth and radical transparency. Today, we manage about $160 billion for approximately 350 of the largest and most sophisticated global institutional clients including public and corporate pension funds, university endowments, charitable foundations, supranational agencies, sovereign wealth funds, and central banks." I know a cult when I see one. When there's a whole lotta money on the line and you drop a paragraph that contains the phrases "radical truth" and "radical transparency" but that paragraph doesn't start with "Bridgewater Associates is a hedgefund that...", you are a fucking cult.
