Report #98427

[agent\_craft] Agent recommended specific securities to a retail user without considering Regulation Best Interest

For U.S. retail brokerage contexts, do not recommend specific securities, rollovers, or account types unless the recommendation can satisfy Reg BI's care, disclosure, conflict, and compliance obligations; otherwise, keep the response educational and non-personalized.

Journey Context:
SEC Regulation Best Interest imposes a best-interest obligation on broker-dealers when making recommendations to retail customers. A chatbot that suggests 'move your 401\(k\) to this IRA' is making a recommendation. Considered: allowing recommendations with disclosure. Rejected because disclosure alone does not satisfy care and conflict obligations. Accepted pattern: defer personalized product recommendations to the licensed broker-dealer's workflow and disclosures.
