Let's take a look at what Ray Dalio's portfolio looks like as of 2021.

Ray Dalio. I’m sure you all know who he is, he’s the founder & manager of the largest hedge fund in the world Bridgewater. Dalio’s one of the most followed investors in modern times & in this video we’re going to reveal his portfolio at Bridgewater. I want to break each investment down piece by piece, tell you a bit about them, and see how his portfolio balances out. Let’s get into it…


Investment 1: SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

So the first investment is what’s known as an ETF. An etf is just a group of different stocks bunched together. In this case it’s the S & P 500. The S & P 500 is an index of 500 very large USA companies. These stocks are a good indicator of the entire USA market as a whole.

So straight away Dalio is exposing his portfolio to companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Tesla, Alphabet, Berkshire Hathaway, Johnson & Johnson, those huge American companies.

This is the largest investment of Dalio’s portfolio making up 11.9% of it. He owns $1.38 billion dollars of the S & P 500, straight away allowing for diversification and the lowering of risk…


Investment 2: Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF

Now again his second largest position is an etf, but this is completely different. The vanguard emerging markets etf, instead of holding groups
of large USA companies, they own companies throughout emerging markets. In China, Brazil, Taiwan, and South Africa.

The etfs 10 largest holdings from 1 to 10 are, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, Naspers, Ping Insurance, Reliance Industries, JD.com, China Construction Bank & last is NIO the electric car company.

This ETF makes up 5.7% of Dalios portfolio over at Bridgewater a total value of $659 million dollars. What you’ll notice, right from the start Dalio is diversifying across the globe. His biggest investments are in the USA, but second is those high growth emerging markets around the world…


Investment 3: SPDR Gold Trust

Anyone who has been a Dalio follower for a while will not be surprised by this investment. Dalio likes gold. One of his famous quotes is “If you don't own Gold, you know neither history nor economics.”.

And he’s put his money where his mouth is, the SPDR gold trust makes up his 3rd largest investment, at 4.6% of his portfolio. His total investment is $532 million dollars of Bridgewaters assets…

For any of you guys out there looking to own the SPDR gold trust, the ticker symbol is GLD, the expense ratio for holding this is 0.4% a year, and even I Cooper have owned this investment for some time now…


Investment 4: Walmart

Now we start getting into the individual stocks that Dalio has picked out…
His biggest individual stock position is Walmart, ticker symbol WMT on the nyse exchange. This makes up 3.8% of his portfolio, valued at $443.8 million dollars…

Walmart as we all know it’s the chain of discount department stores, scattered throughout America, Canada, Mexico & a couple of other countries. Altogether they have 11,443 stores, bringing in $548 billion dollars of total revenue, making them the largest company in the world based on that figure.

This stock exposes the portfolio nicely to a steady part of the market, which is retail. Retail, that’s a sector that’s been going on since humans started trading, and it will continue to do so…

The stock currently sells for $132 a share, generating yearly earnings of $4.75. Their dividend is $2.20 per share giving them a nice 1.65% annual dividend return…
