Our Blog
Welcome to the Quantlake Blog — where we cut through fear, FOMO, and market noise to help you invest with discipline. We explore the behavioral traps and hidden costs that trip investors up, and share evidence-based ways to stay on track.
From Kahneman's Prospect Theory — showing how losses hurt twice as much as gains feel good — to DALBAR's findings on fear-driven timing mistakes and SPIVA's proof that most active funds underperform, we ground our insights in research, not opinion. And as Charles Ellis wrote in Words from the Wise, successful investing is less about brilliant moves and more about avoiding unforced errors. That’s exactly what this blog is here to help you do.
