About

Bridgewater Advisors Inc. provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations. The firm also offers consulting on estate, retirement and tax matters and, for qualified investors, may recommend investments in private investment funds alongside mutual funds, ETFs and other public securities.

The firm’s investment process begins with a client‑level assessment of objectives and risk tolerance and emphasizes strategic asset allocation across traditional and alternative asset classes, using a mix of actively managed and index‑related strategies and quarterly portfolio reviews. Bridgewater conducts due diligence on third‑party managers, utilizes Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) funds that are available only through approved advisers, and discloses that it may recommend margin and private fund investments where appropriate.

Noteworthy operational features include ongoing monitoring and reporting of private investment fund holdings (with valuations often reflecting sponsor‑provided updates) and the firm’s disclosure that it may serve as trustee for certain trust accounts, which can affect custody. Bridgewater also states it may provide tax preparation services, aggregates and rotates block trades for execution, and does not vote client proxies.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
