All Weather Strategy: Bridgewater Associates

Winner: Best global macro hedge fund

In a world of inconsistency, Bridgewater’s All Weather Strategy stands out. Although the usual investment warnings apply, the strategy has certainly bucked performance trends.

In 2011 it returned a stunning 19.0% and over the last three years 19.9%. Slightly less stunning, but still acceptable in today’s climate. The strategy managed a positive annualised 8.6% return over the last five years and 9.8% over the last 10 years.
