This page explains the educational purpose of the site, how financial relationships are disclosed, and the standards used when platform pages are written.
AlternativeInvesting.com does not currently use compensated platform links. Outbound platform links go to official sites. If a page later includes an affiliate or paid relationship, that page will say so before the reader reaches the link.
Commercial relationships do not decide what we cover or what conclusion we publish. Platform claims are checked against official sources, and negative findings are not removed because a company may become a partner.
Ratings and rankings use the criteria in our published methodology. Compensation cannot buy a higher score, a more favorable verdict, or inclusion in a best list. A platform can rank well without a commercial relationship and poorly with one.
Compensated links are labeled in the page-level disclosure and use sponsored link attributes. Paid placements or sponsored material are labeled as such and are kept separate from independent ratings, rankings, and verdicts.
The site does not include every platform, fund, or offering available to investors. A missing company is not a negative judgment, and a listed company is not an endorsement. Offering documents and current platform terms control the final decision.
The site publishes educational comparisons, qualification guides, and platform summaries. Nothing on the site is personalized investment, legal, or tax advice, and no page can determine whether an investment is suitable for a particular reader.
