According to reports, due to ideal investment returns and new capital inflows, Bridgewater Associates Shanghai private equity fund management has been able to outperform other foreign counterparts in a turbulent market situation, with assets under management (AUM) increasing by about 40% from less than 40 billion yuan at the beginning of last year to over 55 billion yuan by the end of the year, becoming the only foreign fund company with assets under management exceeding 10 billion yuan. Benefiting from diversified investment strategies, Bridgewater's all-weather enhanced onshore fund posted a return of over 35% last year, more than twice the average return of similar funds in the mainland at 11%, during the period the fund also raised performance fees, which was in stark contrast to many mainland funds lowering fees. Since its establishment in October 2023, Bridgewater Asia (excluding China) total return strategy fund has achieved a net return of over 25%. The report indicated that Bridgewater believes that due to the continued loose monetary and fiscal policies in mainland China this year, the fund still sees many investment opportunities, and the economic conditions in the entire Asian region will support the stock market going up, with optimism for Japan and South Korea outside of China.
