Investment context

As explained in Investing for Programmers

Investment context is a set of investor-specific facts, goals, constraints, and preferences that guide financial analysis or recommendations.

Investment context is the investor-specific information that makes financial analysis more relevant: risk tolerance, goals, available capital, preferred assets, sectors, and return priorities. Supplying these constraints turns a generic portfolio request into a structured query an LLM can interpret through domain-specific terms. section 8.4.1

Useful context can specify:

Risk profile, such as risk-averse preferences. section 8.4.1
Financial goals, such as maximizing passive income or pursuing financial independence. section 8.4.1
Capital, asset classes, sectors, and preferences, including stocks, ETFs, bonds, crypto, or information technology. section 8.4.1

From generic request to constrained query

Instead of asking for a good portfolio, specify a risk-averse investor with $100,000 available, an information-technology focus, and a goal of maximizing passive income while minimizing risk. The added facts give the analysis a usable decision frame, not a guaranteed recommendation. section 8.4.1
