The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend by Rob Copeland is a gripping exposé that takes readers deep inside the secretive world of one of the most powerful hedge funds in history. Investigative journalist Copeland pulls back the curtain on Bridgewater Associates and its enigmatic founder, Ray Dalio, revealing a culture of radical transparency, internal surveillance, and philosophical rigidity.

Through meticulous reporting and exclusive insider accounts, the book explores how Bridgewater’s bold investment strategies, cult-like work environment, and Dalio’s management style built—and challenged—the firm’s reputation. Copeland uncovers the tension between visionary leadership and flawed execution, shedding light on the human dynamics behind financial empires.

A must-read for fans of financial thrillers and business biographies, The Fund is a sharp, timely look at power, ego, and accountability in the high-stakes world of Wall Street. It’s perfect for anyone interested in finance, leadership, or the psychology behind success and downfall.
