Bridgewater Associates

Bridgewater Associates is an American investment management firm founded by Ray Dalio in 1975. It is one of the world's largest hedge funds, managing approximately $150 billion in global investments for institutional clients such as pension funds, endowments, foundations, foreign governments, and central banks.
== History ==
Bridgewater Associates was founded by Ray Dalio in 1975 from his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Initially, the firm focused on providing institutional clients with advisory services, particularly in currencies and interest rates.
In 1981, the company moved its headquarters from New York City to Westport, Connecticut. The firm's big break came when McDonald's signed on as a client, leading to rapid growth and the acquisition of larger clients, including pension funds for the World Bank and Eastman Kodak.
Bridgewater Associates launched its flagship fund, Pure Alpha, in 1991. The fund was designed to generate returns above market averages by employing a blend of macroeconomic insights, quantitative analysis, and risk management strategies.
In 1996, the firm introduced the All Weather fund, pioneering the risk parity approach to portfolio management. This strategy aims to balance risk among various non-correlated assets through active management.
By 2005, Bridgewater Associates had become the world's largest hedge fund. From 1991 to 2005, it lost money in only three calendar years, and never more than 4%.

Bridgewater Associates offers three main hedge funds to its clients:
* Pure Alpha: Launched in 1991, this fund is described as a "diversified alpha source" that invests across various asset classes.

* Pure Alpha Major Markets: A variation of the Pure Alpha strategy.
The firm also publishes a white paper called "Daily Observations," which is read by investors worldwide on a subscription basis.
Bridgewater's investment philosophy is based on several strategies, including Pure Alpha, Pure Alpha Major Markets, All Weather, and Optimal Portfolio.

British Bankers' Association

The BBA is the leading trade association for the UK banking and financial services sector. It represents 223 banking members from 60 countries on the full range of UK or international banking issues and engages with 45 associated professional firms. Its member banks make up the world’s largest international banking center and operate about 150 million accounts. 
The association is known for establishing and maintaining lending rates such as LIBOR, the benchmark of the average rate at which a leading bank can obtain unsecured funding in the London interbank market. In the wake of the scandal surrounding LIBOR manipulation, the BBA has come under criticism from politicians and the public for being complacent in regulating the index. 
Anthony Browne of Morgan Stanley was appointed as head of the BBA in June, 2012, following the exit of Angela Knight.
== History ==
The BBA was founded in 1919. The association was reconstituted in 1972, the same year it first accepted foreign banks. The BBA plays a dual role of influencing decision makers, by promoting a legislative and regulatory system which takes the needs of its members into account, and promoting and defending the industry, by engaging in public discussion with the media and government to highlight the strengths of UK banking. 
== LIBOR ==
LIBOR (bbalibor) was first developed in 1984 when UK banks requested the BBA to create a calculation that could be used for the real rate of borrowing. As London grew to become a major finance center so too did the benchmark. More than 20 per cent of all international bank lending and more than 30 percent of all foreign exchange transactions now take place in London. 
The rate is used as a barometer to measure strain in money markets and as a gauge of market expectation for future central bank interest rates. LIBOR is also used as a reference for many mortgage and retail loans as well as derivatives contracts such as interest rate swaps and many futures contracts. 
== Governance ==
The BBA Board is made up of executives from:
*Barclays Bank 
*BNP Paribas
*Citibank 
*Credit Suisse
*Deutsche Bank AG
*Hampshire Trust
*HSBC 
*J.P. Morgan Europe Limited
*Lloyds Banking Group
*Santander
