financial services
Let an agent explain financial services as an industry and product category, relay sectors, regulation and trends from economic and regulatory sources, describe the main service types, and distinguish financial services from public funding programmes, from financial instruments and from the finance function inside firms, noting misfiled aliases and giving no personal advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain financial services as an industry and product category, relay sectors, regulation and trends from economic and regulatory sources, describe the main service types, and distinguish financial services from public funding programmes, from financial instruments and from the finance function inside firms, noting misfiled aliases and giving no personal advice.
The economic services provided by the finance industry, including banking, lending, payments, insurance, investment management, securities trading and financial advice, delivered by banks, insurers, asset managers, fintech firms and others to households, businesses and governments; the registry aliases attached to this entry, such as redevelopment agency in California, EU incentive programmes, RAPHAEL, URBAN, pre-accession instrument and Arion, are public programmes or bodies and appear misfiled. The model gives general information, not personal financial advice.
What it is for: Managing money, risk and capital for clients.
It can be explain the industry; relay sectors and regulation; describe service types; distinguish related concepts.
