Report #102189

[agent\_craft] Agent recommended a specific security or portfolio for a user’s personal situation.

Treat any individualized buy/hold/sell recommendation tied to a user’s goals, risk, or finances as regulated investment advice. Route it to a registered investment adviser, or restrict output to general, non-personalized educational information with a clear ‘not investment advice’ disclaimer.

Journey Context:
The SEC’s Investment Advisers Act does not require a human adviser; an algorithm that tailors securities recommendations to a user and is part of a business can trigger registration. Disclaimers help consumers but do not cure the regulatory status of personalized advice. The safest pattern is general content only, with no suitability questionnaire driving a trade recommendation.
