Ray Dalio, he runs the largest hedgefund in the world called Bridgewater which has over $150 billion dollars of assets under management. Now if you’re a nerd like me, you like to dig in to the portfolio and stock moves, of the billionaire investors of the world. And, I’ve done this recently with Dalio and his fund Bridgewater and I got to say I’ve found some very interesting results!

He’s invested heavily into both Chinese stocks and and gold…. Now what we’re going to do in this video is I’m going to show you the exact stocks that he’s bought and sold in the recent quarter, and then I’m going to go over the underlying reasons why he’s made quite a few strange investments…

Now he’s made over 50 different investments recently, so I’m not going to go over all of them, but I will show you the main ones and the ones that stuck out to me…

The first thing we’ve got to talk about is his gold investment. Now it’s never a surprise when I see Dalio buy gold, because he’s known as a gold advocate, but recently he’s bought a lot of it. We can see here that he’s bought 1.4 million shares in the SPDR gold trust, that’s about $260 million dollars of it. Then he went on further and bought around 4.1 million shares in the Ishares gold trust ticker symbol IAU. So that ones worth around $75 million dollars worth.

And that’s a big amount of money, over $330 million dollars, being put aside directly into gold. I mean when you consider that gold just sits there, it doesn’t do anything, it’s not productive like a stock or a business. So the question becomes why?

The thing you need to realise about gold, is it’s used as a protection mechanism. A safety measure so to speak… You see often when a lot of money is printed, a recession hits, stocks start to go down and people look for security. So they go to the symbol of security, which is gold. This is the reason during rough times, gold does well and can increase or hold its value.
And this is why Dalio says “I believe it would it would be both risk reducing and return enhancing to consider adding gold to ones portfolio”.

And he’s putting his money where his mouth is, recently he’s purchased a lot of gold.
Now the next thing that I’m going to point out, I find even more interesting then his gold purchase. Dalio’s investing a lot of money into China right now. Let me show this…

Dalio with Bridgewater bought 672 thousand shares in the Chinese company Alibaba in this recent 2020 quarter. That’s worth around $190 million dollars. The ticker symbol for that is BABA by the way. But he also bought 4.19 million shares in a Chinese large cap etf, ticker symbol, FXI. That’s worth around $185 million. Then he bought almost 1 million shares in JD.com the Chinese ecommerce company. He bought 110 thousand shares of netease, the Chinese internet technology company. He bought Pinduoduo stock, the 2nd largest Chinese online marketplace.

On top of all this he bought Baidu stock, China’s version of google. And a bunch more other Chinese companies, he bought so many I can’t go through them all. But what does this all mean? It means Dalio’s putting a high amount of his focus and money on China, and Chinese investments…

I mean I don’t know if you guys have gone through and been reading his LinkedIn articles recently but he’s got some interesting opinions out there. And to be honest I shouldn’t really call them opinions because they are based on facts…
But nevertheless what he points out is quite unsettling. He’s written a whole set of articles on the topic ‘the changing world order’. These articles start by saying “ I believe that the times ahead will be radically different from the times we have experienced so far in our lifetimes, though similar to many other times in history”.
