arXiv:2608. 11381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study whether the localized numerical operations and integrative judgments of financial analysis benefit from the same form of LLM specialization.
arXiv:2609.36178v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has become a promising approach for training large language model agents. However, its uniform assignment o...

FinSkillBench is an evaluation suite that tests whether language model agents can use financial domain skills to solve investment management tasks across portfolio construction, risk management, and fundamental analysis. The benchmark contains 12 subtasks with 2,603 episodes, each providing point‑in‑time inputs, hidden ground truth, and a verifier. Experiments show that curated skill packages improve performance significantly, while self‑generated skills offer little benefit, indicating that reliable procedural skills are crucial for effective AI agents in this domain.
arXiv:2606. 17591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training-free verbal reinforcement learning enables LLM agents to learn from world feedback -- objective signals such as dynamic task outcomes, market returns, or demand forecasts -- by extracting verbal rules from experience and injecting them as context, updating the agent's behavior without parameter changes.
arXiv:2606. 05885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents require reinforcement learning methods that can assign credit to intermediate decisions under sparse and delayed rewards.
arXiv:2608. 06144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most agent benchmarks evaluate tasks independently and cannot measure whether experience from one task helps with later tasks.
The study compares a custom capital gains calculation engine with a retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) vector store of market advisory reports in a multi‑agent financial advisory system. A 2x2 factorial experiment showed that the tax‑optimization engine significantly reduced tax savings, while the RAG component had no significant effect. The RAG‑only condition yielded the highest tax savings, suggesting that pretrained language model knowledge may suffice for tax‑loss harvesting without specialized tooling.
arXiv:2606. 29771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly cast as autonomous portfolio managers, and benchmarks have moved from financial question-answering to sequential trading.
arXiv:2507. 22758v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advancements in financial problem-solving have leveraged LLMs and agent-based systems, with a primary focus on trading and financial modeling.
arXiv:2608. 16156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon large language model (LLM) agents are typically optimized with sparse terminal outcomes, making fine-grained credit assignment across multi-step interactions difficult.
arXiv:2608. 06108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Investment competence is inherently personalized: the same market evidence can justify different actions for investors with different goals, horizons, portfolios, and risk boundaries.
