Strategic Partnership Brings Behavioral Intelligence Directly into Investment Decisions
We’re pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Quantlake, a platform offering professional-grade, systematic investing to individual investors.
This collaboration marks the first time that personalized ETF portfolios are generated based on each investor’s actual behavioral risk profile – not just financial data or standard risk scoring. By embedding BehaviorQuant’s analytics into the Quantlake platform, this partnership introduces a new level of personalization and intelligence into the investment journey.
Why this matters for investors
Traditional platforms assume rational decisions. But we ALL know that behavior plays a central role in investment success. Our BQ Advisory solution captures how investors think, feel, and act under uncertainty—making it possible to deliver investment recommendations that are psychologically aligned and financially sound.
Investors can now complete a short BQ assessment and receive personalized portfolio suggestions that reflect both their behavioral risk profile and their financial capacity. This is a major step toward smarter, more human investing.

What’s new
- Behavioral risk profiling based on decades of research
- Direct portfolio alignment with investor psychology
- A seamless digital experience helping investors stay on track—especially when markets are volatile
In 2024, the average equity investor underperformed the S&P 500 by over 8% [1]. The challenge isn’t the markets—it’s investor behavior: Emotional decisions, reactive responses to market volatility, or clinging to familiar patterns repeatedly lead to losses. This is exactly where the partnership between BehaviorQuant and Quantlake comes in: For the first time, behavioral analytics are integrated directly into an investment platform – enabling portfolio recommendations that are aligned with each investor’s actual risk behavior.
