Dalio

Dalio is a surname. Notable people with this surname include Ray Dalio, an American investor and philanthropist who founded Bridgewater Associates in 1975, one of the world’s largest hedge funds by assets under management. Bridgewater is known for its research-driven approach and its culture of radical transparency and idea meritocracy. Dalio’s management philosophy and practice have influenced business discourse, partly through his book Principles: Life and Work, which outlines decision-making processes, feedback, and organizational culture.

Dalio’s philanthropy is conducted through the Dalio Foundation, with programs in education, health, and ocean exploration. In collaboration with his son, Devon Dalio, the foundation helped establish OceanX, a nonprofit focused on ocean exploration and public engagement with marine science. Dalio is also involved in public discourse on economics and investments, occasionally contributing to think tanks and media.
