Based on the research and insights developed by the renowned investor Mr. Ray Dalio over five decades, this Program is designed to help learners understand the universal linkages driving markets and economies. The Program also offers a world-class pathway for participants to advance their skills and capabilities in investing. It benefits not only investors seeking to sharpen their insights, but also finance professionals across various sectors, including asset management, wealth management, family offices, reserves management, and policy. To ensure greater accessibility for learners worldwide, the Program leverages cutting-edge technology, such as generative AI, to provide an immersive digital learning experience that is accessible anytime and from any location.
As the world confronts what Mr. Dalio identifies as ‘a changing world order,’ the launch of the program is timely in providing investors with a practical, market-tested framework to understand market cycles and how to navigate them effectively.
“The world is changing in ways that we’ve not experienced in our lifetimes but have happened many times in the past,” says Mr Ray Dalio, Founder, CIO Mentor and Member of the Board, Bridgewater Associates. “To deal with these changes well, investors need to recognize the deeper patterns of history and the underlying timeless and universal principles driving markets and economies. My hope for this course is that it provides this knowledge as well as an opportunity for investors to further refine their own investment principles.”
Commenting on the launch, Ms. Foo Mee Har, CEO of WMI, says, “With Singapore being a leading global wealth management hub, we are thrilled to introduce this first-of-its-kind investment education initiative. The Dalio Market Principles Online Program is designed to empower finance professionals and investors with a strong foundation for understanding the forces driving markets, enabling participants to build investment portfolios tapping drivers of differential asset returns, economic and currency cycles, and paradigm shifts. Most importantly, this program is designed to fully equip those aspiring to establish successful careers in various sectors of the finance industry.”
To support local residents with capability development, the DMP Program is accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), and eligible participants may receive up to 70% course fee subsidies. The Program is also SkillsFuture Credit claimable.
The DMP Online Program is designed to provide a flexible and highly interactive online learning experience. Participants will be able to ‘live through’ major market events as an investor or policymaker, assess how their expectations for the future and investment decisions measure up, and learn from mistakes. The Program’s purpose-built Portfolio Simulator will enable them to create and stress test portfolios, evaluating their investment performance across different macro scenarios with data from up to 40 major economies over the last 120 years.
Providing participants with a personalized learning experience, the Program’s innovative Generative AI Tutor will guide learners through the curriculum. Fully integrated into the course, the Tutor will be able to answer questions, generate quizzes, get feedback, and search through a vast repository of Mr Dalio’s writings over the past decades, for participants to learn at their own pace.
In addition, participants will also gain opportunities to learn, network and thrive with peers and leaders from the industry. Through cohort-based activities such as discussion forums and live online workshops, participants will be able to glean multiple perspectives on investments and the financial markets from industry players from diverse backgrounds. The Program also lays a foundational pathway for those seeking excellence as a great investor, which will later include opportunities to apply for a Dalio Fellowship to be launched in the future.
