2027 Investment Associate Intern New York City

Overview Bridgewater has pursued one idea for 50 years: the world can be understood. Markets and economies follow cause‑and‑effect relationships, and by understanding them we aim to beat the markets and generate true uncorrelated returns at scale. Our investment strategies focus on macro‑economic shifts that drive the world’s most liquid markets—including bonds, currencies, equities, commodities, and credit. These shifts often have limited sample data, requiring deep foundational insight and continuous learning. We represent this understanding in a model called “the System”—code and algorithms that generate views automatically from cleaned data and reflect the relationships we have learned over decades. Being systematic allows us to stress‑test ideas over time and ensures our positions embody everything we have learned. Human‑machine collaboration is central to our approach. Since 2012 Bridgewater has pursued an artificial investor that can do everything a human can, and our 2023 AIA strategy builds on that. We continually refine our systems to combine the best of human insight and machine intelligence. Every day we evolve our systems against independent investor insights and strive to improve each week with intense collaboration and no ego or politics. Key Qualities Relentlessly, obsessively—curious. Fiercely driven to understand how the world works, uncover new relationships, explore new data sources, and continually expand knowledge. Deeply independent—bordering on iconoclastic—thinkers. Independent minded and ready to challenge what we are doing when it is wrong. Conceptual and analytical. Excited by abstract concepts and translating insights into systematic investment measures. High horsepower thinkers. Able to draw insights from a wide variety of backgrounds. Flexible to bring economics, finance, computer science, mathematics, statistics, political science, history, natural science, etc. Flexible thinkers. People who love collaborating, have grit, and are determined to grow rapidly. Collaboration is essential; perseverance through uncertain solutions; self‑improvement is required. Responsibilities Research the drivers of economies and markets. Build insights that underlie our investment edge and stay on top of a constantly evolving world. Recent research priorities include understanding the implications of the shift toward modern mercantilism and the macro implications of transformational advances in artificial intelligence. Develop systematic indicators for trading markets. Codify insights into algorithms that run daily to process vast economic data and form views on markets. Represent one of the world’s most advanced expert systems and must be intelligible for human‑machine collaboration. Oversee our portfolios and live and breathe the markets. Reflect human intuition into investment systems and identify dynamics not captured by systems, driving further evolution. Drive the future of human and machine investor collaboration. Create creative technology use to push toward a fully integrated system leveraging the AIA launch; accelerate learning about world ideas. Partner with the world’s most sophisticated institutional investors. Build relationships beyond money, including writing Bridgewater Daily Observations and conducting custom research and tailored portfolio solutions for largest clients.
