Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio&#8217;s Bridgewater Associates has <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/03/44230866/state-street-and-bridgewater-bring-hedge-fund-strategy-to-etfs-with-allw">launched an exchange-traded fund (ETF)</a> inspired by its famous &#8216;All-Weather&#8217; strategy. 
What Happened: In partnership with State Street Global Advisors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), leading hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates has unveiled its popular all-weather portfolio strategy as an ETF, the SPDR Bridgewater All Weather ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLW#NASDAQ">ALLW</a>).
The strategy is designed to deliver consistent returns for investors across economic environments and market cycles. It uses a risk parity approach to investment, where allocations to different assets are based on their levels of volatility.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/23/11/35900803/the-downsides-of-diversification">Billionaire Investor Ray Dalio Warns Of Looming Debt Crisis And Shifting Global Order Amid Trump&#8217;s Hardline Trade Policies</a>
Created in 1996 by Ray Dalio himself, the strategy involves allocating 30% of assets into equities, 40% into long-term US Treasury bonds, 15% into intermediate-term US Treasury Bonds, 7.5% into gold, and 7.5% into commodities other than gold. During its three decades of existence, this strategy has generated a compounded annual growth of 7.5%.
While it has trailed the S&amp;P 500, which compounded at 9% during this period, it&#8217;s worth noting that this period involved the Asian Financial Crisis, the Dot-Com Bubble, the Great Recession, and COVID-19. The metric that truly matters with all of this is the max drawdown, which stands at 20.58%, as opposed to the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 25%.
The entire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/23/11/35900803/the-downsides-of-diversification">&#8216;All-Weather&#8217; strategy</a> is set to be distributed across five separate ETFs, all managed by State Street Global. Each will feature certain variances to suit market conditions and investor preferences, but the broader goal remains resilience in the face of turmoil.
Why It Matters: The popular strategy was up until now only available for rich accredited investors or institutions who could invest a minimum of $500,000. With the launch of this ETF, however, retail investors can get in on this strategy for just $22, which is the current price of the fund. 
The ETF has a expense ratio of just 0.85%, compared to the standard 2% management fee and 20% performance fee that hedge funds often charge.

State Street's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.5% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>State Street Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742923825_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for State Street has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing State Street's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, State Street's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Charlie Munger was honest about the growing influence of index fund managers like BlackRock&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) Larry Fink. The late Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) vice chairman warned that passive investing has resulted in a massive shift in voting power, one that he believed could have serious consequences.

During <a href="https://youtu.be/22faKkazye4?si=z3pKSQ5SnprGvTeO&amp;t=4965">shareholder Q&amp;A</a> at the Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJCO#NASDAQ">DJCO</a>) shareholders meeting in 2022, Munger was asked about the impact of passive investing on stock valuations. His response was direct: "Oh, huge." He explained that the rise of index funds had concentrated power in the hands of a few asset managers who control shareholder votes. "We have a new bunch of emperors, and they're the people who vote the shares in the index funds. Maybe we can make Larry Fink and the people at Vanguard Pope," he joked.
But Munger wasn't laughing when he predicted that this shift would "change the world"—and not for the better. "I don't know what the consequences are going to be, but I predict it will not be good."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BlackRock's Growing Influence</h2>
BlackRock, along with Vanguard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and State Street (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), has become one of the biggest shareholders in most major public companies. The firm's assets under management have soared to $11.6 trillion, more than doubling since 2016.
Traditionally, index funds have been seen as a way for everyday investors to passively invest in the market. But instead of just holding shares, asset managers have taken an increasingly active role in shaping corporate policies.
Fink, in particular, has been vocal about pushing companies toward environmental, social and governance goals. As The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/calling-out-emperor-larry-fink-charlie-munger-financial-markets-berkshire-hathaway-11645136040">reported</a> in 2022, Fink threatened in a letter to CEOs to vote against corporate managers if they didn't comply with ESG disclosures set by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
This kind of pressure has real consequences. For example, Climate-focused activist fund Engine No. 1 held just 0.02% of ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares but was able to oust three board members in 2021—thanks to the backing of BlackRock and other major index fund managers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Debate Over BlackRock's Role</h2>
Munger's concerns highlight a growing debate over whether asset managers should wield this much power. "I think the world of Larry Fink, but I'm not sure I want him to be my emperor," he said.
His words serve as a warning about the unintended consequences of passive investing. When a few firms control voting rights across much of corporate America, decisions that impact millions of investors and workers end up in the hands of a small group of executives.
Munger believed in capitalism, but he also believed in accountability. His criticism of BlackRock's influence wasn't about politics—it was about the risks of too much power being concentrated in too few hands. And as passive investing continues to grow, that debate isn't going away anytime soon.

However, it's worth noting that one of its largest shareholders, State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), is a known backer of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

The company was also exploring avenues like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tokenization">asset tokenization</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43181875/sec-repeals-sab-121-policy-that-restricted-banks-from-providing-custody-services-for-bitcoin-crypto-mom-says-bye-bye">cryptocurrency custody services</a>, according to a Reuters report.
