    Entropic Value-at-Risk parity for tempered stable returns

    we backtested it — Sharpe 0.37 · quant relevance 0.98

    The paper constructs long-only inverse-risk-parity and equal-risk-contribution portfolios using Entropic Value-at-Risk under tempered-stable return models. Across ETF and portfolio universes, its EVaR-ERC portfolios produced positive Sharpe-ratio differences relative to equal-weight and Gaussian-EVaR benchmarks.

    A hybrid deep learning framework for volatility prediction in financial markets

    we backtested it — Sharpe 0.64 · quant relevance 0.96

    The paper forecasts market volatility for risk management, VaR, options applications, and a reported trading strategy. A closely related volatility-targeting implementation using daily and one-minute US equity and ETF data is backtestable, but the full multi-asset sample cannot be reproduced because the required FX data and long history are unavailable.

    When Richer Information Does Not Improve Allocation: Machine Learning and Portfolio Optimisation in NFT-Ecosystem Tokens

    quant relevance 0.98

    The paper tests whether machine-learning return forecasts and OHLC-informed risk estimates improve portfolio allocation for NFT-ecosystem tokens. Its out-of-sample comparisons find that machine-learning forecasts add value, while intraday-informed volatility estimates do not systematically improve risk-adjusted returns.
