讲座内容简介:
This paper investigates the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in generating novel and effective alpha factors for option markets. Using a structured prompt-engineering approach, we task GPT-5 with creating factors for two distinct markets: the mature U.S. market and the emerging Chinese market. Our empirical analysis reveals that the LLM-generated factors exhibit strong and robust performance, delivering statistically significant returns in both all-sample and extensive out-of-sample tests. Beyond their statistical power, we demonstrate that these factors are economically meaningful. They display low self-correlation, indicating genuine innovation, and are grounded in sound economic rationale derived from market microstructure and behavioral finance principles, showcasing a key advantage over traditional "black-box" models.
