Bridgewater and State Street Launch 'All Weather' ETF for Retail Investors

Bridgewater Associates is partnering with State Street Global Advisors to launch the SPDR Bridgewater All Weather ETF, bringing Ray Dalio's All Weather risk-parity strategy to the ETF market. This move reflects a trend of hedge funds entering the $14 trillion ETF market, known for its trading ease and lower fees. The strategy focuses on diversifying across various assets to manage volatility, though interest in such strategies has waned recently due to underperformance compared to the S&P 500. The fund's fees and tickers are yet to be announced.
