According to “The richest man in Babylon” one of the secrets of being a successful investor is to learn from successful people. And who fits better in this category than Ray Dalio?
Ray Dalio is one of the greatest investors of all time. He manages the largest single hedge fund in the World - The Bridgewater Associates. I don’t know about you guys, but I think we can learn so much from this strategic genius, when it comes to asset allocation and portfolio management.
This is why I’m looking into his moves every time Bridgewater publishes an update. I think knowing a little chunk of the largest hedge fund corona virus investment strategy could give us some very useful information and ideas for investing our own money.
Let us have a look into the Top 5 investments of Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates in the second Quarter of this year.

Ray Dalio’s largest increase was the SPY SPDR S&P 500 trust, tracking the largest 500 US companies. In the last reporting period Bridgewater Associates increased its SPY holdings by 41% and this is the largest asset in Ray Dalio’s basket: 26% of his portfolio.
The second acquisition of Bridgewater Associates was the SPDR Gold Trust, which is not a surprise. We all know that Ray Dalio includes a 7.5% of gold investment in his All-Weather-Portfolio. But does he follow his own rule? I checked the Bridgewater portfolio and guess what? They’ve an 15% investment in gold. This means just one: Ray Dalio is bullish about this precious metal and no wonder, because we know his famous words: Cash is trash.
Well, the next three positions in the basket of Ray Dalio are all connected with China. Dalio believes that the world economy order will be changed after the corona virus pandemic and in his words, investing in China today is the same as investing in Britain during the industrial revolution.
So the three positions are: iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), Alibaba (BABA), iShares MSCI China (MCHI). Now, I want you to take a look at Alibaba: Bridgewater Associates increased their position during the second quarter with guess how much? 241 %! I’ll say that once again, in case you missed it: Ray Dalio’s hedge fund more than tripled his Alibaba assets! Or, in other words: The Chinese tech giant is the biggest single equity holding Bridgewater has, accounting for 4.5% of its portfolio and a market value of over $268m.
