Investment Philosophy

“Don’t rely on forecasts, build a portfolio that can survive a variety of environments.”

The core of Ray Dalio's investment philosophy lies in risk diversification and hedging . He believes that the market cannot be fully predicted, but by studying long-term economic cycles, central bank policies, and cross-asset correlations, one can mitigate risk and capitalize on trends. He emphasizes a corporate culture of "fierce independent thinking" and "radical transparency," driving the team to continuously optimize investment strategies through collective decision-making.

The "all-weather portfolio" concept he advocates aims to enable investors to maintain relatively stable returns in various economic environments of inflation, deflation, growth and recession.
