Leveraging LLMS for Top-Down Sector Allocation In Automated Trading

ICLR Workshop Advances in Financial AI: Opportunities, Innovations, and Responsible AI2025-03-12Paper
Executive summary

Paper introduces an LLM-based top-down sector allocation methodology that integrates macroeconomic trends and sentiment data for automated trading achievements.

What it examines

The paper presents a method using large language models (LLMs) to enhance top-down sector allocation in automated trading. It integrates macroeconomic indicators and market sentiment through multiple data streams, aiming to optimize portfolio allocation by dynamically adjusting sector exposures based on systematic macro and sentiment analysis.

What it concludes

The study demonstrates that LLM-based sector allocation can significantly improve risk-adjusted returns compared to traditional methods. The approach can be applied in automated trading, institutional portfolio management, and risk analysis, while future work may expand data inputs, model size, and ranking algorithms.

Our framework emphasizes top-down sector allocation by processing multiple data streams simultaneously, including policy documents, economic indicators, and sentiment patterns. Empirical results demonstrate superior risk-adjusted returns compared to traditional cross momentum strategies, achieving a Sharpe ratio of 2.51 and portfolio return of 8.79% versus -0.61 and -1.39% respectively. These results suggest that LLM-based systematic macro analysis presents a viable approach for enhancing automated portfolio allocation decisions at the sector level. △ Less
