<p>紐約，1 月 7 日（路透社）- 橋水基金週三任命 Bob Prince 為董事會主席，他是公司的首席投資官之一，擁有四十年的行業經驗，此次任命是在對沖基金在 2025 年取得了驚人的回報之後。</p>

<p>“四十年前激勵我加入橋水的那些領域，今天依然讓我感到興奮——在理解世界的使命下提出重大想法的挑戰，以及與最傑出的人一起工作的過程。我期待着作為董事長繼續這段旅程，” Prince 説。“沒有 Mike 和我們其他忠誠董事的支持，我們無法順利過渡到今天的狀態。”</p>
<p>Prince 於 1986 年加入橋水，當時它主要作為創始人 Ray Dalio 的研究公司運作。在看到橋水發佈的一份關於理解投資的繁榮與蕭條週期的研究文件後，Prince 對加入橋水產生了興趣。</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 class="lb-trans"><p>紐約，1 月 7 日（路透社）- 橋水基金週三任命 Bob Prince 為董事會主席，他是公司的首席投資官之一，擁有四十年的行業經驗，此次任命是在對沖基金在 2025 年取得了驚人的回報之後。</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>
