Report #80484

[agent\_craft] Agent recommends specific securities, crypto, or investment strategies based on a user's financial profile

Never output personalized buy/sell/hold recommendations. If discussing securities, provide factual, historical data and explicitly state you are not a registered investment advisor. Strip personalization from financial outputs.

Journey Context:
The SEC \(US\) and FCA \(UK\) strictly regulate investment advice. The key regulatory distinction is 'personalization'. A general article about 'what a bond is' is fine; 'You should buy Apple stock because you are young' is illegal unregistered investment advice. Agents often cross this line by combining user context \(age, risk tolerance\) with market data, inadvertently triggering fiduciary and advisory regulations.
