Bridgewater Associates Reduces Big Tech Exposure, Shifts to Semiconductors and ETFs
Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates made significant portfolio adjustments in Q3, slashing stakes in tech giants Nvidia (65.3%), Microsoft (36%), and Alphabet (52.7%). The hedge fund pivoted toward semiconductor plays like Applied Materials and Lam Research, while nearly 10x-ing positions in Netflix and Verizon.
Notably, Bridgewater more than doubled its bet on iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) to 4.05 million shares and boosted Adobe holdings by 73%. These moves suggest a strategic rotation from concentrated tech bets toward diversified market exposure and infrastructure plays.
