Shared Model-Facing Prompt Packet 34,318 characters
# CapitalBench portfolio-v3.0 Task

You are participating in an offline, time-resolved CapitalBench evaluation round. Every model receives the same frozen information and makes one single-turn, non-agentic judgment without tools, browsing, retrieval, or follow-up.

Your objective is to rank assets for realized return over exactly one month and identify candidates that can beat SPY. CapitalBench, not you, constructs the scored portfolio from your judgment using the fixed rule below.

The deterministic candidate slate exists to prevent omission; it is not a recommendation. Assess every slate candidate. You may add at most two wildcard options from the complete allowed universe, but only when the frozen briefing supplies a specific reason the mechanical slate missed.

Use only facts and mechanical market data supplied in this input. You may use internal learned knowledge and general priors, but do not intentionally rely on facts, prices, news, or events after the research cutoff. Treat section order, mention count, option order, table order, and slate inclusion as neutral presentation choices rather than recommendation signals.

Do not extrapolate recent returns mechanically. A recent winner has no positive edge without independent in-window support. Give extreme recent losers a fair reversal test, but distinguish temporary price overreaction from fundamental deterioration. Use the supplied cross-sectional dispersion, medium-horizon relative strength, volatility, drawdown, volume, briefing evidence, and quality evidence. Optimize for the stated close-to-close scoring window only.

For every assessed candidate, provide probabilities and an 80% excess-return range relative to SPY. Rank every assessment without ties. top3_option_ids must be the options ranked 1, 2, and 3. prefer_spy is a diagnostic judgment and does not override the deterministic rule.

CapitalBench applies this rule after your response:

1. Preserve your candidate ranks.
2. A non-SPY candidate is eligible only when you label its recent return as overreaction and give it at least a 55% probability of beating SPY.
3. Select at most the first three eligible candidates in your rank order.
4. Fill fixed portfolio slots of 35%, 35%, and 30% in that order.
5. Put every unused slot in SPY.

You do not submit allocations or an alternative portfolio. Return only valid JSON. Do not include markdown, citations, prose, or commentary outside the JSON.

# CapitalBench portfolio-v3.0 Task

You are participating in an offline, time-resolved CapitalBench evaluation round. Every model receives the same frozen information and makes one single-turn, non-agentic judgment without tools, browsing, retrieval, or follow-up.

Your objective is to rank assets for realized return over exactly one month and identify candidates that can beat SPY. CapitalBench, not you, constructs the scored portfolio from your judgment using the fixed rule below.

The deterministic candidate slate exists to prevent omission; it is not a recommendation. Assess every slate candidate. You may add at most two wildcard options from the complete allowed universe, but only when the frozen briefing supplies a specific reason the mechanical slate missed.

Use only facts and mechanical market data supplied in this input. You may use internal learned knowledge and general priors, but do not intentionally rely on facts, prices, news, or events after the research cutoff. Treat section order, mention count, option order, table order, and slate inclusion as neutral presentation choices rather than recommendation signals.

Do not extrapolate recent returns mechanically. A recent winner has no positive edge without independent in-window support. Give extreme recent losers a fair reversal test, but distinguish temporary price overreaction from fundamental deterioration. Use the supplied cross-sectional dispersion, medium-horizon relative strength, volatility, drawdown, volume, briefing evidence, and quality evidence. Optimize for the stated close-to-close scoring window only.

For every assessed candidate, provide probabilities and an 80% excess-return range relative to SPY. Rank every assessment without ties. top3_option_ids must be the options ranked 1, 2, and 3. prefer_spy is a diagnostic judgment and does not override the deterministic rule.

CapitalBench applies this rule after your response:

1. Preserve your candidate ranks.
2. A non-SPY candidate is eligible only when you label its recent return as overreaction and give it at least a 55% probability of beating SPY.
3. Select at most the first three eligible candidates in your rank order.
4. Fill fixed portfolio slots of 35%, 35%, and 30% in that order.
5. Put every unused slot in SPY.

You do not submit allocations or an alternative portfolio. Return only valid JSON. Do not include markdown, citations, prose, or commentary outside the JSON.

Required JSON format:

Rules:
- assess every deterministic slate candidate and no more than two optional wildcards;
- use origin_lanes exactly as shown for slate candidates and ["wildcard"] for additions;
- probabilities are whole percentages from 0 to 100;
- excess-return estimates are percentage points relative to SPY and must satisfy p10 <= p50 <= p90;

- evidence must refer only to supplied input and contain no URLs;
- key_risks must contain 2-5 concrete risks;

3 holdings Regional Banks (KRE)
Regional Banks (KRE) 35% Semiconductors (SMH) 35% US Small-Cap Value (IWN) 30%
Confidence
0.57
Run Type
official
Rationale

Top ranks combine quality-pullback overreactions: regional banks and small value have strong prior relative trends, shallow drawdowns, and benefit if soft labor data yields a dovish September FOMC; semiconductors' small give-back conflicts with NVIDIA's strong results and guidance, suggesting temporary overreaction.

SPY near highs with hawkish Fed rhetoric before the Sept 15-16 FOMC; softening labor data (payrolls -23k, benchmark revision) could ease rate fears and favor quality pullback names like regional banks and small value, while NVIDIA's strong beat and guide supports semiconductors after their recent modest give-back.

Portfolio
  • Regional Banks (KRE): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 58% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • Semiconductors (SMH): 35% - V3 selected model rank 2: overreaction with 57% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • US Small-Cap Value (IWN): 30% - V3 selected model rank 3: overreaction with 55% estimated probability of beating SPY.
Key Risks
  • Hawkish September FOMC or hot August CPI could hit rate-sensitive banks and small caps
  • Semiconductors are high-beta (2.4) and could amplify any market pullback
  • August employment report on Sept 4 could reprice growth expectations sharply
  • Sticky 3.7% PCE inflation keeps a rate-hike tail risk alive

Rationale

Only two candidates clear the overreaction plus 55% bar: regional banks and small value, both with positive prior relative trends, shallow drawdowns, low volatility and the highest quality-evidence scores after a fresh, macro-driven relative pullback (Russell 2000 -1.5% on the week). Technology ranks third on genuine fundamental support from NVIDIA's capex-driven guidance, but its recent move is continuation rather than overreaction, so the remaining slot stays in SPY. Rate-sensitive defensives, solar, Brazil and aerospace show deteriorating rather than temporary weakness, and crypto's recent surge lacks independent in-window support.

Index near highs with narrow leadership (RSP lagging SPY over 5 and 21 sessions), inflation still above target (PCE 3.7% y/y, six-month core running 4.1%) and a hawkish Fed chair with three FOMC dissents for a hike. Long yields are elevated (30y 5.22%), which caps rate-sensitive defensives and small caps. Labor data is softening (payrolls -23k, negative benchmark revision) ahead of a September 4 jobs report and September 16 FOMC, so macro risk is two-sided. Best in-window support is in quality-pullback cyclicals with strong prior relative trend (regional banks, small value) and AI/software capex evidence from NVIDIA's outlook; extreme crypto and commodity moves lack independent support.

Portfolio
  • Regional Banks (KRE): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 58% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • US Small-Cap Value (IWN): 35% - V3 selected model rank 2: overreaction with 56% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • S&P 500 (SPY): 30% - Deterministic SPY fallback for V3 slots without an eligible active candidate.
Key Risks
  • September 16 FOMC with projections could turn more hawkish given 3.7% PCE and prior dissents, pressuring small caps and banks
  • September 4 payrolls and September 11 CPI could trigger a growth scare that hits high-beta cyclicals harder than SPY
  • Continued narrow mega-cap leadership would keep RSP-type and small-cap exposures lagging the benchmark
  • Further long-end yield rises (30y already 5.22%) would hurt bank credit sentiment and rate-sensitive holdings
  • AI capex disappointment or China restrictions could sharply reverse technology's contribution

Rationale

The portfolio targets sectors that have experienced recent pullbacks but maintain reasonable quality scores, anticipating a reversal in the short term.

The market is digesting mixed economic signals, with solid GDP growth but softening labor data and persistent inflation concerns. The upcoming FOMC meeting is a key catalyst.

Portfolio
  • Utilities Sector (XLU): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 60% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • Brazil Equities (EWZ): 35% - V3 selected model rank 2: overreaction with 58% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • Aerospace and Defense (ITA): 30% - V3 selected model rank 3: overreaction with 56% estimated probability of beating SPY.
Key Risks
  • The upcoming FOMC meeting could introduce volatility and shift market sentiment.
  • Continued softening in labor data could increase recession fears, negatively impacting cyclical sectors.

Rationale

Semiconductors offer the strongest explicit earnings catalyst after a low-volume relative pullback. Regional banks and small value pair prior relative strength with high-quality, shallow-drawdown pullbacks, though their edge is narrower because restrictive rates and weaker labor data threaten domestic cyclicals.

Leadership is narrow and dispersion is high: strong AI-related fundamentals support selective technology exposure, while hawkish policy risk and weakening labor data favor only high-quality reversals elsewhere. The September FOMC and inflation releases create substantial rotation risk.

Portfolio
  • Semiconductors (SMH): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 58% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • Regional Banks (KRE): 35% - V3 selected model rank 2: overreaction with 57% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • US Small-Cap Value (IWN): 30% - V3 selected model rank 3: overreaction with 56% estimated probability of beating SPY.
Key Risks
  • A hawkish September FOMC decision or higher inflation data could compress technology valuations and financing-sensitive equities.
  • Further labor-market or retail deterioration could turn the regional-bank and small-value pullbacks into fundamental weakness.
  • Semiconductor volatility and concentrated AI expectations could overwhelm strong reported fundamentals.
  • A renewed shift toward mega-cap index leadership could leave smaller and value-oriented exposures behind SPY.

2 holdings S&P 500 (SPY)
Regional Banks (KRE) 35% S&P 500 (SPY) 65%
Confidence

Rationale

Rank prioritizes quality pullbacks and supported continuation names with overreaction labels meeting 55% threshold for potential SPY outperformance over the one-month window.

Mixed signals with defensive and value areas showing pullbacks amid stable macro data and policy uncertainty, while select growth and quality names retain relative strength.

Portfolio
  • Regional Banks (KRE): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 62% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • S&P 500 (SPY): 65% - Deterministic SPY fallback for V3 slots without an eligible active candidate.
Key Risks
  • FOMC policy decision and projections in September
  • Upcoming August employment and inflation data releases
  • Continued dispersion in growth versus defensive sectors

Rationale

Quality-pullback and shock-reversal names with overreaction labels and p_beat >=55% rank highest for one-month mean-reversion potential versus SPY; crowded high-vol continuation and structurally weak solar trail. Macro uncertainty around September FOMC and sticky inflation favors limited non-SPY exposure only where recent lag looks temporary.

Elevated yields, firm Fed inflation stance, soft labor prints and mid-September FOMC create mixed one-month setup; quality pullbacks in rate-sensitive and small-value names offer better reversal odds than crowded momentum or high-vol laggards while broad equity beta remains supported but not strongly directional.

Portfolio
  • Regional Banks (KRE): 35% - V3 selected model rank 1: overreaction with 62% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • US Small-Cap Value (IWN): 35% - V3 selected model rank 2: overreaction with 58% estimated probability of beating SPY.
  • Real Estate Sector (XLRE): 30% - V3 selected model rank 3: overreaction with 56% estimated probability of beating SPY.
Key Risks
  • Hawkish FOMC or higher-for-longer rates path on September 16 could extend pressure on rate-sensitive and small-cap value
  • Further labor softening or negative payroll surprise on September 4 may trigger broad risk-off
  • High-vol tech/crypto continuation failure if NVIDIA-related momentum fades
  • Oil or EM commodity shock amplifying Brazil and energy volatility

Portfolio S&P 500 (SPY)
S&P 500 (SPY) 100%
Confidence
0.50
Run Type
official
Rationale

One-month path is dominated by a hawkish policy speech, still-elevated PCE, and a live Sep 15–16 FOMC. SPY sits near highs with better 5s/21s behavior than equal-weight and small caps. Highest-quality pullbacks (KRE, IWN, XLRE) are not independent overreactions with a majority chance of beating SPY inside this window, so the ranked slate does not create eligible reversal slots.

SPY is within 1.1% of a 52-week high after a modest weekly gain while equal-weight lagged, breadth on the 5-session window is only ~41% positive, and a hawkish Fed speech plus a mid-September FOMC with SEP sit inside the scoring window. Rate-sensitive and high-beta names face event risk; recent losers lack a clean, supported one-month reversal catalyst.

Portfolio
  • S&P 500 (SPY): 100% - Deterministic SPY fallback for V3 slots without an eligible active candidate.
Key Risks
  • September 16 FOMC statement, SEP, and press conference can reprice duration, banks, and high-beta growth in either direction.
  • August employment (Sep 4) and CPI (Sep 11) can invalidate the inflation-too-high narrative or reinforce it.
  • Continued mega-cap concentration versus weak Russell 2000/RSP breadth can leave quality small-value and regional-bank mean-reversion trades lagging SPY.
