In his latest newsletter, Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said he won't "jump out" of his China investments.
Dalio said he has "pretty much always" been involved in the Chinese markets and that investing in China has been a success in all the ways that he hoped to be successful.
"Because of the way I invest, there is no such thing as a bad market; there is only bad decision-making. I find the markets in China good for my type of decision-making," he wrote.
He also highlighted his relationship with the Chinese people and culture, adding that "being involved with them and their markets go together." Dalio stated: "I don't jump in when things are booming and jump out when things are tough because I am neither 'a fair-weather friend' nor 'a fair-weather investor.'"
"To understand the world, I need to understand China, and to understand China, I need to be immersed in it the way I have been immersed in it," he added. "I can't diversify as well as I'd like to without investing in China."
Dalio believes China's problems are manageable, and he believes those who guide policy in China "will eventually come around to dealing with the problems well."
"To me the key question isn't whether or not I should invest in China so much as how much I should invest," he stated. "My holy grail of investing is to have 15 or more good uncorrelated return streams. I see China as one of these, so that will be a core position that I will vary from based on my assessments of all of the things I mentioned."
