Bridgewater Co-CIO Karen Karniol-Tambour Departs to Become First CEO of Canada Growth Fund

Karen Karniol-Tambour, co-Chief Investment Officer at Bridgewater, will be leaving to become the first CEO of the newly established Canada Growth Fund, a sovereign wealth fund in Canada. The fund, promoted by Prime Minister Mark Carney, aims to strengthen Canada's key strategic industries and reduce dependence on the U.S. economy. The initial funding for the fund is CAD 25 billion (USD 17.7 billion), sourced from the federal government, and it will only invest in Canadian companies and projects to seek long-term returns. The 41-year-old Karniol-Tambour has been with Bridgewater since graduating in 2006 and has served as co-CIO alongside Greg Jensen and Bob Prince since 2023, overseeing Asian strategies and Chinese investment management. Bridgewater currently has no plans to recruit or promote a successor for Karniol-Tambour.
