About Our Presence in Singapore

Bridgewater has traded Asian markets and served clients in Asia for over three decades. We have strategic partnerships with some of the largest pools of capital in the region.

Bridgewater opened the Singapore office in 2022 to bring us closer to the region's markets, clients, and opportunities. Today, the office serves as a hub for Bridgewater's investment, client and operations teams in the region. Looking ahead, we see big opportunities for our presence in Singapore: to deepen our research and investment activities in Asia; to reinforce partnerships with long-standing clients; and to build new relationships with growing pools of capital throughout the region.
