Our editorial standard
Every article on FinanceAdvisor USA is written to be accurate, honest about risk, and useful to a retail trader or investor who is still learning. We do not publish speculation as fact. We do not publish price targets, buy/sell recommendations, or predictions about market direction. We explain how things work — what you do with that information is your own decision.
Fact-checking and data sources
Articles that contain specific financial statistics — interest rates, index levels, price data — are checked against authoritative sources before publication. Our primary data sources are the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) system, Alpha Vantage market data, and CoinGecko for cryptocurrency prices. Statistics older than 90 days are flagged for review.
If an article contains a claim we cannot verify with a primary source, it is either omitted or clearly attributed as an estimate. We do not cite "experts say" or "studies show" without naming the expert or the study.
Corrections
When we make a factual error, we correct it. Corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected article with the date of correction and a description of what changed. We do not silently edit articles to remove errors — the correction note stays in place.
To report an error, use our contact form with the subject line "Correction." We review correction requests within 3 business days.
Commercial relationships
FinanceAdvisor USA earns revenue through display advertising and affiliate marketing. When we include an affiliate link — for example, to a brokerage where we may receive a referral fee — it is disclosed in the article with the text "This link is an affiliate link." Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions about which products to cover, how we describe them, or what ratings we assign.
We do not accept payment from financial product providers in exchange for editorial coverage, positive reviews, or article placement. Sponsored content, if published, is clearly labelled as "Sponsored" and kept separate from editorial content.
Independence
Our writers and editors have no financial interest in any security mentioned on the site at the time of writing. Articles about specific stocks, brokerages, or funds are not written by people who hold positions in those instruments.
AI-assisted content
Some articles on this site are produced with the assistance of AI writing tools. All AI-generated content is reviewed by a human editor before publication and checked for factual accuracy against verified data sources. We do not publish AI output that has not been reviewed.
