Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio

Last updated Apr 1, 2023

The All-Weather portfolio is an investment strategy developed by Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, a prominent hedge fund. It is designed to be a globally diversified portfolio that can perform well in various market conditions, hence the name "All Weather." The portfolio is intended to be relatively simple and easy to implement, with a mix of stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies.

The core of the All Weather portfolio is a combination of 30% stocks, 40% long-term bonds, 15% intermediate-term bonds, and 15% commodities. The specific investments within each category can vary, but the overall allocation is meant to be relatively stable over time, which could be achieved through regular rebalancing.

One of the fundamental principles behind the All Weather portfolio is the idea of "risk parity," which seeks to balance risk across different asset classes rather than maximizing returns from any particular asset. The goal is to create a portfolio that can weather market volatility and produce consistent returns over the long term.
