The paper introduces Market‑1T, a massive dataset of nearly one trillion 1‑Hz observations of U.S. equities spanning 2008‑2025, and establishes a rigorous evaluation protocol for financial representation learning. It conducts a large‑scale comparison of 18 encoder‑training strategies across two decades of market regimes, assessing their predictive performance on common finance tasks and probing latent structure. The study reveals that encoders with similar predictive accuracy can organize market state in markedly different ways, providing a foundation for training and evaluating representations for financial world models such as DINO‑WM, V‑JEPA 2, and LeWM.

EXAONE Forecast for Finance (EXAONE Finance) is a financial time‑series foundation model designed to overcome the limitations of existing models that rely on self‑attention and assume fully observed data. It replaces self‑attention with a causal 1D convolution for temporal mixing and a group‑aware pooling MLP for variate mixing, achieving linear‑time complexity. The model is pretrained on a large, diverse financial corpus and, through masked context augmentation, learns to handle missing data, ultimately topping the FinVerse benchmark across accuracy, ranking, and profitability metrics.

The paper introduces Future‑Aligned Soft Contrastive Learning (FASCL), a representation learning framework that uses pairwise future return correlations as continuous supervision to improve asset retrieval. FASCL’s soft contrastive loss aligns retrieved assets with correlated future returns, and the authors propose a new evaluation protocol to directly assess future trajectory similarity. Experiments on 5,631 US‑listed securities outperform 14 baselines in future return correlation, rank information coefficient, trend consistency, and gross Sharpe ratio across various retrieval depths and basket sizes.
