    Non-asymptotic analysis of SGLD with discontinuous stochastic gradients: a new route to portfolio CVaR minimization

    we backtested it — Sharpe 0.64 · quant relevance 0.97

    The study establishes convergence and dimension-dependence bounds for SGLD applied to regularized, softmax-parameterized portfolio CVaR minimization, with numerical validation on simulated Gaussian losses. The optimizer is implementable using historical ETF returns, but its simulation results do not establish realized investment performance, and its i.i.d. assumptions need not hold for market returns.

    Cryptocurrency Market Volatility and Financial Risk Management: A Machine Learning-Based Framework for Investment Decision-Making

    quant relevance 0.99

    The study directly evaluates daily cryptocurrency volatility forecasting and risk-aware portfolio allocation, including transaction costs. It reports that a historical baseline forecasts next-day absolute returns better than more complex models, while inverse-volatility allocation performs best after 10 bps costs. The framework is implementable with daily crypto prices, but the five-coin coverage must be verified and the reported sample through September 2026 exceeds the documented historical backtest window.

    Evaluating a Rule-Based Multi-Factor Sector Rotation Strategy in the Indian Equity Market: A Historical Backtesting Approach

    quant relevance 0.99

    The strategy ranks three Indian sector indices quarterly using earnings growth, historical valuation percentiles and momentum, then equally weights the top two. It reports higher test-period returns than the Nifty 100, but no statistically significant Sharpe-ratio improvement after multiple-testing adjustment and no clear advantage over momentum alone. The strategy is directly relevant to systematic investing, but its Indian-market prices and sector-level valuation histories are unavailable here.

Backtests are hypothetical research results; forward-portfolio figures are a live record. Neither is a guarantee of future performance. Research and education only: not individualised investment advice, not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.
