Ray Dalio All Weather Portfolio Asset Allocation

Asset allocation principles dissected on our Ray Dalio Bridgewater portfolio dashboard center on the ray dalio all weather portfolio asset allocation percentages framework. Designed to weather four distinct macroeconomic environments—growth, inflation, deflation, and contraction—without requiring market-timing forecasts.

The standard retail implementation allocates 30% to global equities, 40% to long-term Treasury bonds, 15% to intermediate Treasury bonds, 7.5% to physical gold, and 7.5% to broad commodity baskets. While traditional 60/40 portfolios allocate heavily by dollar capital, Dalio balances by risk volatility, recognizing that equity swings contribute over 85% of total volatility in classic portfolios.

Over multi-decade testing across global depressions, stagflation shocks, and market booms, the All Weather strategy delivers equity-like returns with roughly one-third of the maximum drawdown volatility. Institutional investors adopt its risk parity principles to construct durable multi-asset wealth preservation vehicles.
