From October 6th to 8th, 2025 (EST), one of the world's most influential alternative investment forums—the 8th annual Greenwich Economic Forum (GEF)—will commence in the scenic town of Greenwich, Connecticut.

This year's GEF will gather over 400 of the world's most brilliant minds, including top fund leaders, macro scholars, policymakers, and thought leaders. The guest list is a veritable who's who of the financial world: Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates and one of TIME's "100 Most Influential People in the World"; Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and Antifragile; and Robert E. Rubin, former US Secretary of the Treasury. They will be joined by decision-makers from leading global institutions such as QXO, Inc., Guggenheim Investments, Churchill Asset Management, Ares Management, iCapital, Australian Retirement Trust, and Radence Longevity.

Ray Dalio 

Founder, Bridgewater Associates

"Investors should consider allocating about 15% of their assets to gold or digital assets to hedge against a potential debt crisis."

Nassim Nicholas Taleb 

Renowned Financial Author

"The process of elimination is one of the best ways to benefit from uncertainty."

Robert E. Rubin 

Former US Secretary of the Treasury

"How do you make better decisions in an uncertain world? By using 'Probabilistic Thinking'."

Trust is built on reunion. For us, Greenwich is more than just a landmark of the hedge fund world; it is a spiritual touchstone where Noah ARK continually reconnects and finds resonance with global Chinese families and our esteemed mentors and friends.

This year, for the eighth time, Noah ARK will attend as a Global Partner. We will stand alongside global Chinese wealth managers on the central stage of the global financial economy, reuniting with our friends and mentors—Dalio and Taleb—to discuss macroeconomic trends, capital flows, and the future of wealth.

"The Hedge Fund Capital of the World": Why Greenwich?

The GEF originated in the small town of Greenwich, Connecticut. With a population of only about 60,000, it was once home to over a thousand hedge funds managing hundreds of billions of dollars, steering the course of global capital. This concentration of financial power earned it the title "The Hedge Fund Capital of the World."

Greenwich's unique status began with its geography. Just an hour's drive from Manhattan's financial district, the town offers a superior living environment. Fund managers could stay deeply connected to the heart of world finance while escaping the hustle and high costs of the city, making it an ideal haven for financial elites and high-net-worth individuals.

Furthermore, Connecticut's attractive tax policies and flexible regulations provided a more efficient and convenient framework for establishing and operating funds compared to New York.

Starting in the 1980s, financial giants like Viking Global and Bridgewater Associates put down roots in Greenwich, sparking a powerful clustering effect. Fund managers became neighbors, creating a hyper-active ecosystem for talent, capital, and information that amplified the town's gravitational pull. As these funds grew into industry titans, Greenwich cemented its symbolic status in the global hedge fund landscape.

Standing on a Global Summit of Ideas: Noah ARK Guides Global Chinese Wealth Management

At Noah ARK, we have always sought to resonate with the world's most forward-thinking minds, providing global Chinese high-net-worth families with battle-tested strategic asset allocation advice.

This commitment was reflected in our Noah ARK 2025 H1 CIO Office Report, where all eight of our predicted trends were validated by the market, providing a solid cognitive foundation for the second half of the year. Our latest release, the Noah ARK 2025 H2 CIO Office Report, points to the dawn of a new capital era dominated by "technology-driven deflation." Continuing our "structural asset allocation" framework, the report presents ten core judgments and recommendations spanning macro structures, core asset themes, and strategic execution.

Our wealth management strategic logic echoes the profound insights of global thought leaders:

In a letter celebrating Bridgewater's 50th anniversary, Ray Dalio shared his most important investment principle: knowing how to diversify effectively. By doing so, he explained, you can reduce risk by 80% without lowering expected returns.

The Noah ARK 2025 H2 CIO Office Report notes that the dual narratives of technology-driven deflation and policy-driven reinflation are becoming clearer. Wealth managers can harness a "low-correlation allocation" framework to navigate three types of structural opportunities. While predicting market direction is difficult, diversification is a low-cost solution. Peace of mind comes from portfolio resilience. In a world of intertwined macro themes, "low-correlation allocation" isn't just about capturing gains when one asset zigs while another zags; it’s about leveraging different transmission logics and asynchronous harvest periods.

Confronting the "crises" that many fear, Taleb once remarked at a Noah ARK summit that the returns during a crisis are enormous, and we can proactively benefit from shocks. One of the best ways to profit from uncertainty is through elimination.

"Use Elimination to Find the Optimal Solution" was a key theme of our H1 report. As the rise of AI rewrites the rules of wealth, our H2 report advises that wealth managers can build two systems simultaneously. The first is to achieve "antifragility" within an inflationary logic, benefiting from volatility and uncertainty. The second is to construct a portfolio for a tech-deflationary world, investing in assets poised to benefit from it, such as digital assets and early-stage AI.

Across Robert Rubin's celebrated career on Wall Street, in the White House, and at the Treasury, Rubin developed a distinct decision-making philosophy. Its core tenet is "Probabilistic Thinking": identifying multiple possible outcomes, assessing their likelihood, and making decisions based on prudent analysis rather than a quest for absolute certainty.

"Respecting Probability" has always been one of the three core elements of asset allocation emphasized in our CIO Office reports. The other two are geographical selection and "defensive baseline thinking," which together help identify a market with upward Beta and improve the odds of success.
