Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates only had a decent year in 2012. The return across the funds was around 4%, trailing the S&P 500 but the fund was stronger compared to other funds in 2012. The firm's All Weather Strategy, however returned 16% for the year, beating the S&P 500, and most hedge funds.
