While our only line of business is institutional investment management, Bridgewater has parent entities for governance and other corporate structuring purposes. Our ultimate parent company is Bridgewater Associates Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Bridgewater also owns and/or controls certain entities, including wholly owned subsidiaries, most of which were formed to (i) hold title to various assets (primarily real estate) that are independent of our investment management business, (ii) provide services or support for our operations, or (iii) expand our investment business geographically (including through Bridgewater (China) Investment Management Co., Ltd. (BCIM), our subsidiary located in Shanghai, China).”
