Abstract
Abstract Decisions on ass et allocations are often determined by covariance estimates from historical market data. In this paper, we introduce a wavelet‐based portfolio algorithm, distinguishing between newly embedded news and long‐run information that has already been fully absorbed by the market. Exploiting the wavelet decomposition into short‐ and long‐run covariance regimes, we introduce an approach to focus on particular covariance components. Using generated data, we demonstrate that short‐run covariance regimes comprise the relevant information for periodical portfolio management. In an empirical application to US stocks and other international markets for weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly holding periods (and rebalancing), we present evidence that the application of wavelet‐based covariance estimates from short‐run information outperforms portfolio allocations that are based on covariance estimates from historical data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
