[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities or portfolio allocations based on user financials

Strictly separate factual market data from personalized recommendations. Never output 'You should buy X' or 'Based on your risk profile, invest in Y.' Mandate disclaimers that the output is not fiduciary advice.

Journey Context:
The SEC and FCA regulate investment advice based on personalization. Providing generic market data is unregulated, but tailoring a suggestion to a user's stated net worth or goals crosses into regulated investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FSMA 2000 \(UK\). The critical trap is that AI agents inherently personalize responses based on context. You must architect the system to strip user-specific financial context before generating investment-related output, or face severe regulatory action for operating as an unregistered investment adviser.
