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). Turn-of-the-year period is usually an excellent time for a short recap. Over the past 12 months, we have kept our pace and published nearly 70 short analyses of academic papers and our own research articles. So let’s summarize 10 of them, which were the most popular (based on the Google Analytics ranking). The top 10 is diverse, as usual; once again, we hope that you may find something you have not read yet …
Nbr. 10: Can We Finally Use ChatGPT as a Quantitative Analyst? – 2025 was the year of AI, so we are not surprised that our exploration of the usage of the most well-known AI chatbot as a junior quant analyst made it into our top 10
Nbr. 9: Can Technology Sector Leadership Be Systematically Exploited? – AI boom drives the prices of technology stocks to new highs, and we analyzed what this tech dominance may signal for future performance
Nbr. 8: The End-Of-Month Effect in Value–Growth and Real‑Estate–Equity Spreads – we presented a simple twist of the well-known calendar trading strategy
Nbr. 7: Cryptocurrency as an Investable Asset Class – 10 Lessons – cryptocurrencies remain a popular topic and a paper by Borri, Liu, Tsyvinski, and Wu is a nice summary of crypto characteristics from the quant perspective
Nbr. 6: Thanksgiving and Christmas Trading Strategies – both holidays are already behind us, however, our short article can be used as a draft for Christmas and Thanksgiving trading in 2026
Nbr. 5: How to Value Overvalued MicroStrategy? – the gap between MicroStrategy’s equity value and the market value of its Bitcoin holdings is a puzzle, and a paper by Andrade, Coomes, and Duarte tries to solve it
Nbr. 4: How Can We Explain the Low-Risk Anomaly? – low beta and low risk anomalies explained from the perspective of demand pressure
Nbr. 3: Quantifying Global Real Estate Returns Over Centuries – surprisingly, the 3rd place doesn’t belong to a crypto or AI article, but a historical analysis (which uses 750 years of data) of the expected returns of the global real-estate market
Nbr. 2: The Best Strategies for FX Hedging – again, quite a surprise, that optimal FX hedging strategies claimed the 2nd spot
Nbr. 1: Quantpedia Awards 2025 – Winners Announcement – and the first place and the most popular article of 2025 was our announcement of the top 5 quant research papers from the Quantpedia Awards competition
Have a successful New Year 2026 …
