About

72 Research is a limited partnership. We have run it as a consulting firm, working with buy-side clients on market research and on software development for arbitrage strategies.

The work we do for clients is confidential and stays that way. This site is separate: a public log of other research we are interested in for its own sake — the systematic, model-driven work described in these posts — kept as a dated record and to gauge public interest in the wider subject.

We try to be concrete here: the posts go into the actual models, mechanisms, and diagnostics, with real data. What they hold back is the last mile — the specific parameters, datasets, and results that give a particular strategy its edge.

To be clear about what we are not: 72 Research does not trade, hold, or own securities or any other financial instruments as a firm. We do not recommend any financial instrument, and we do not advise anyone on what to buy or sell — and we never will. What we do is plain research: consulting on how to collect, model, and understand data. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
