Quantpedia in December 2025
Hello all,
One year is again behind us (in this case, it was 2025), and we are all a little older (and hopefully richer and/or wiser). 2025 was again a year full of political and macroeconomic surprises that affected financial markets, and 2026 looks set to be shaped in the same way. We at Quantpedia promise to do our best to help you navigate the treacherous waters of the future. So, we wish you all the best in 2026, and before we fully turn the page on the new year, let’s quickly review December’s updates …
Firstly, let’s touch on the December addition among Quantpedia Pro reports – a new Fee Impact & Net Performance Analysis module that enables users to model and simulate management fees, performance fees, and hurdle rates directly on top of their model portfolios. This enhancement allows portfolio designers and fund managers to seamlessly transition from gross to net performance, visualize the fee-adjusted equity curve, and clearly quantify the long-term impact of fees across multiple horizons (since inception, rolling periods, and calendar years). By automating fee calculations and presenting them in a transparent, comparable format, the report significantly reduces the time and complexity involved in structuring, stress-testing, and validating new investment products—making it substantially easier to design realistic, investor-ready strategies and fund solutions.
Secondly, we would like to invite you all to the Uncorrelated Alternatives flagship conference, Uncorrelated Miami, which brings together niche, capacity-constrained strategies across alternative investments, including private equity, hedge funds, crypto, venture capital, real estate, and private credit. The conference provides a curated setting that fosters meaningful connections between fund managers and allocators/LPs, emphasizing high-value engagements without the pressure of meeting quotas.
Reserve a slot in your calendar for January 26–28, 2026 and come to sunny Miami Beach! You can find further conference details and register here: https://www.uncorrelatedalts.com/miami-2026-reg/p/reg. Additionally, if you use the code “QPD10” at checkout, then you are entitled to a 10% discount!
Thirdly, we would like to again ask you for assistance. Each year, we work very hard to improve our services, and every month, we bring you new insights from the field of algo/quant research. We always want to become better, and for that, as in the previous year, we would like to ask you to help us fill out the short Quantpedia survey that contains questions that will help us better plan our work over next year.
Of course, we also value your time, so we would like to offer you a 10% discount coupon that will get every one of you who will fill out the survey. This coupon code is valid for the next 11 days (until the 24th of January) and applies to all Quantpedia Prime/Premium/Pro subscriptions.
And finally, let’s also quickly recapitulate Quantpedia Premium development:
- 10 new Quantpedia Premium strategies have been added to our database.
- 6 new related research papers have been included in existing Premium strategies during the last month
- 7 new backtests were written in QuantConnect code. Our database currently now contains over 870 strategies with out-of-sample backtests/codes.
Additionally, 5 new research articles were published on the Quantpedia blog in the previous month:
