Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• No LLM among 30+ significantly beats log-HAR at forecasting realized variance. • The verdict survives sub-periods, prompt designs, history lengths, and protocols. • Capability buys calibration and responsiveness, but only matches the benchmark. • Reported LLM portfolio gains are a covariance-geometry tilt, not forecast skill. • The tilt is insignificant, regime-concentrated, and dies at realistic costs.
