Report #84682

[agent\_craft] Suggesting a specific portfolio allocation for a user's 401\(k\) or retirement plan

Never suggest specific allocations for retirement accounts; only provide general educational material on diversification, as specific advice triggers ERISA fiduciary liability.

Journey Context:
Under ERISA, giving specific investment advice to a retirement plan participant for a fee makes one a fiduciary. AI agents cannot fulfill the duty of loyalty or prudence required of a fiduciary, and the deploying entity would face massive liability for breach of fiduciary duty.
