FrontierFinance: A Challenging Benchmark for Measuring Frontier Intelligence of Finance Agents

AI agents are increasingly deployed for professional investment research, yet no benchmark captures the complexity of the full investor workflow. Existing benchmarks mainly target financial data extraction, a narrow slice that current models have largely saturated, while reference-based metrics and generic LLM-as-a-judge scoring fall short on the open-ended, long-form answers that real analyst queries demand.

BigFinanceBench: A Workflow-Grounded Benchmark for Financial-Research Agents

arXiv:2606. 03829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial-research answers are decision-relevant only when another analyst can audit how they were produced: which source was chosen, which period and accounting definition were used, which assumptions were made, and how the calculation was performed.
