Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, issued warnings regarding stock market risks during the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore. He noted that rising bond yields and negative expectations for corporate cash flows are weakening factors that previously supported equities, suggesting the market is entering a more sensitive phase. Dalio advised investors to monitor free cash flow to ensure companies can meet investment needs without liquidity issues.

In addition to market analysis, Dalio discussed the relationship between wealth and happiness. He stated that while money provides security, freedom, and comfort, there is no correlation between wealth and happiness beyond a certain level of financial security. He identified a sense of belonging to a community and maintaining meaningful relationships as the most significant determinants of long-term well-being.
