Claude Finance: Anthropic Packages Wall Street Workflows Into 10 Agents
On May 5, Anthropic launched Claude Finance — its first domain-specific plugin bundle. Investment banking, private equity, and wealth management workflows packaged as 10 agent templates, shipped simultaneously as Claude Cowork and Claude Code plugins plus a Managed Agents Cookbook. A clear inflection point: from the horizontal-LLM era to the vertical-domain-package era.

01 · SHIFTFrom “horizontal LLM” to “domain package”
Claude used to be horizontal. Each team built its own domain workflows with custom prompts and context. Claude Finance flips that — Anthropic ships the buildout itself as a package.

02 · SCOPE5 domains, 10 agent templates
Here are the five domains Anthropic announced, with the headline task for each. Wall Street’s most time-consuming work — pitchbook drafting, KYC file screening, month-end close — is squarely in the crosshairs.
Market and competitor research, financial modeling. The automation baseline for any analyst workflow.
M&A deal document review, pitch deck drafting. The biggest headcount sink on the IB floor.
Earnings transcript parsing, model updates. Picks-and-shovels for earnings season.
Financial data review, scenario modeling. Aimed at deal sourcing and diligence.
Portfolio analysis, rebalancing recommendations. Per-client advisory automation.
03 · STACKEach agent = skills + connectors + subagents
official docs
“Each agent template packages three things: skills, connectors, and subagents.”
skills = domain knowledge and task instructions / connectors = governed data access (Bloomberg, internal DBs, etc.) / subagents = dedicated models for subtasks like comparable-company selection or methodology validation. In other words, it’s not a single LLM call but a multi-agent collaboration pattern, templated.
Three distribution channels shipped together. Claude Cowork plugin + Claude Code plugin + Managed Agents Cookbook. The Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook) add-in is wired in too, so work that starts in the model continues straight into the deck or sheet without re-explaining context.
