<p>纽约，1 月 7 日（路透社）- 桥水基金周三任命 Bob Prince 为董事会主席，他是公司的首席投资官之一，拥有四十年的行业经验，此次任命是在对冲基金在 2025 年取得了惊人的回报之后。</p>
<p>根据最新的调整，Prince 将接替桥水即将离任的董事长 Mike McGavick，该公司告诉路透社。去年完成任期的董事长 Margo Cook 将继续作为外部董事留在八人董事会中。</p>
<p>“四十年前激励我加入桥水的那些领域，今天依然让我感到兴奋——在理解世界的使命下提出重大想法的挑战，以及与最杰出的人一起工作的过程。我期待着作为董事长继续这段旅程，” Prince 说。“没有 Mike 和我们其他忠诚董事的支持，我们无法顺利过渡到今天的状态。”</p>
<p>Prince 于 1986 年加入桥水，当时它主要作为创始人 Ray Dalio 的研究公司运作。在看到桥水发布的一份关于理解投资的繁荣与萧条周期的研究文件后，Prince 对加入桥水产生了兴趣。</p>
<p>自那时起，Prince 在帮助塑造公司的投资流程和各种策略方面发挥了重要作用，包括所谓的风险平价。桥水在九月底管理的资产约为 920 亿美元，目前运营着五个专注于不同领域和地区的宏观基金——旗舰纯阿尔法基金、全天候基金、亚洲总回报基金、中国总回报基金和 AIA 宏观基金，该基金利用人工智能进行投资决策。纯阿尔法基金去年回报率为 34%，桥水在其 50 年历史中创下了最高利润。近年来，该公司押注于新策略，包括 50 亿美元的人工智能基金和与 State Street Global Advisors 联合推出的交易所交易基金。</p>

</div><p>NEW YORK, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Bridgewater Associates on Wednesday appointed Bob Prince, one of its chief investment officers and a veteran of four decades, as the chair of its board of directors after the hedge fund delivered blockbuster returns in 2025.</p>

</div><p>As part of the latest moves, Prince will replace Bridgewater’s outgoing chair Mike McGavick, the firm told Reuters. Margo Cook, who completed her term as a board chair last year, will remain on the eight-member board as an external director.</p>

</div><p>“The same areas that inspired me 40 years ago to join Bridgewater continue to excite me today – the challenge of coming up with big ideas under a mission to understand the world, working with the most remarkable people along the way. I’m looking forward to continuing that journey as chair,” said Prince. “We couldn’t have had a smoother transition to where we are today without Mike and the support of the rest of our committed board.”</p>

</div><p>Prince joined Bridgewater in 1986 at a time when it primarily operated as a research firm under founder Ray Dalio. Prince became interested in joining Bridgewater after coming across a research document focused on understanding the boom-and-bust cycle of investing that was published by the firm.</p>

</div><p>Since then, Prince has played an instrumental role in helping shape the firm’s investment process and various strategies, including so-called risk parity. Bridgewater, which managed about $92 billion of assets at the end of September, currently operates five macro funds focused on different areas and regions - the flagship Pure Alpha fund, the All Weather fund, the Asia Total Return fund, the China Total Return fund, and the AIA Macro fund, which uses artificial intelligence to make investment decisions. The Pure Alpha fund produced a return of 34% last year, as Bridgewater posted the highest profits in its 50-year history. The firm has in recent years bet on new strategies, including the $5-billion AI fund and an exchange-traded fund that it launched with State Street Global Advisors.</p>

</div><p>Westport, Connecticut-based Bridgewater was founded by Dalio in New York in 1975. Nir Bar Dea took over as CEO in 2022, and the following year unveiled a strategic overhaul by restricting new inflows into Pure Alpha and returning some assets to clients, betting that a smaller pool of money would allow the firm to better explore trading opportunities. Dalio has exited the firm, after selling his remaining stake in Bridgewater and stepping down from its board of directors last year.</p>

</div><p>Bridgewater’s leadership team also includes co-chief investment officers Karen Karniol-Tambour and Greg Jensen, who also serves as managing CIO for the Pure Alpha fund. Other top executives include deputy chief investment officers Ben Melkman, David Trinh, and Blake Cecil. The firm recently unveiled a plan to expand its employee ownership initiative, which will see more than 60% of staff own equity this year. Bridgewater currently has a headcount of between 1,200 and 1,300 employees, and at the end of last year roughly 300 employees held ownership stakes in the firm.</p>
