The Self Driving Portfolio: Agentic Architecture for Institutional Asset Management

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces an agentic strategic asset allocation pipeline called the Self Driving Portfolio, where 44 specialized agents generate market assumptions, 21 competing methods construct portfolios, and agents critique and vote on each other's outputs. A researcher agent can propose new construction methods, while a meta agent evaluates past forecasts against realized returns and rewrites agent code and prompts to enhance future performance. The entire process is governed by an Investment Policy Statement, mirroring the document that guides human portfolio managers, thereby constraining and directing autonomous agents.

FinSkillBench: Evaluating AI Agents and Domain Skills for Investment Management

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.
