Publisher's Summary
Discover the unauthorized, unvarnished story of famed Wall Street hedge-fund manager Ray Dalio.
When Ray Dalio, billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, announced in October 2022 that he was stepping down from the company he founded forty-seven years ago, the news made headlines around the world. Dalio achieved worldwide fame thanks to a mystique of success cultivated in frequent media appearances, celebrity hobnobbing, and his bestselling book, Principles. In The Fund, Rob Copeland draws on hundreds of interviews with those inside and around the firm to reveal what really goes on with Dalio and his cohorts behind closed doors.
Tracing more than fifty years of Dalio's leadership, The Fund peels back the curtain to reveal a rarefied world of wealth and power, where former FBI director Jim Comey kisses Dalio's ring, recent Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick sells out, and countless Bridgewater acolytes describe what it's like to work at this fascinating firm.
Dalio has stepped down from Bridgewater before; will the legacy of his Principles continue to chart the course of the firm? The Fund provides unique insight into the story of Dalio and Bridgewater, past, present and future.

Entertaining
This book is enthralling, and makes me think twice about all the other people I’ve heard interviewed on podcasts like Work/Life or Freakonomics Radio etc.

Great portrait of a highly toxic workplace
Mandatory reading for those who loved Principles. Such a contrast that the real story behind the Principles was so toxic and to the gratification of Dalios massive ego.

Fearless but one-sided
Well researched and told story but at times felt like a crusade against Dalio. Fascinating and terrifying at times. Despite the obvious floors in Bridgewater and Dalio more credit should be paid to what is an impressive and long lasting business in a notoriously brutal industry.

Should be tagged as a horror comedy

Exposes the Orwellian
A well written piece that exposes the orwellian workings of Bridge Water and it's cult leader Dalio.

A look at Principles from a different perspective.
A rewrite of Principles from the perspective of Bridgewater’s employees was great for the Dalio skeptics.

Couldn't stop listening
If you enjoy exposes like Bad Blood you'll enjoy this. The author dives deep into the insane cult of Bridgewater and Ray Dalio. The insanity of a hedge fund investor turned cult leader with hundreds of billions on the line makes for crazy stories. I couldn't stop listening and finished this in a couple days.

Couldn’t turn it off - captivated
Wow. Had a hard time believing this wasn’t fiction. Incredible insights into a man and hedge fund that runs counter to the publicity machine. You won’t learn a lot about the trading elements of the fund but you will definitely learn a lot about the man/myth/legend behind it. I’ve never devoured an audio book this quickly
