Report #100369

[agent\_craft] Agent generated a UK financial promotion or investment teaser on social media without required risk warnings and balance.

Treat any UK communication that invites or induces financial activity as a financial promotion. Apply the fair, clear, and not misleading standard, include required risk warnings, and make each communication standalone compliant. Avoid personalized recommendations unless the platform is FCA-authorized.

Journey Context:
FCA Guidance FG15/4 states that financial promotion rules are media-neutral and apply to social media and character-limited posts. Standalone compliance is required; linking through to risk warnings is generally insufficient for inducements. Many agents generate punchy marketing copy and omit warnings. The right call is to front-load balance and warnings and stay within image-advertising or signposting if character limits make compliance impossible.
