Home · How we make money
Affiliate commission
Some links to brokers and investing tools may be partner links. If you open an account or subscribe through one, we may receive a commission. It costs you nothing extra and it does not change the price you pay.
Where a page contains partner links, a disclosure appears at the top of that page, above the first link rather than buried at the bottom.
The rules that come with it
We aim to have a relationship with every provider we cover, not one. A site paid by a single company has a structural reason to favour it. A site paid by all of them earns either way, which removes the incentive rather than merely promising to resist it.
Rankings are decided before commercial terms are looked at. The methodology on how we test is fixed in advance, and a provider paying more does not move up.
We publish the unflattering result. If a partner is the wrong choice for a particular investor, the page says so. Pages that only ever conclude in favour of whoever pays are brochures, and readers work that out quickly.
No paid placements, no sponsored posts, no paid reviews. Nobody can buy a mention here, and nobody gets to see a page before it goes up.
Commission rates are never published as a reason to choose something. What we earn is our business and is irrelevant to what you should do.
Free tools
The portfolio tracker is free with no paid version and no upsell. It asks for an email address so we can send you the link, and we send it by hand rather than through an automated mailing list. There is a separate tick box, off by default, for new research and occasional offers. Offers can include products we earn a commission on, and any email that carries one will say so inside the email. Ask us to delete the address and we will. It is not sold or shared. See the privacy policy.
What we do not do
No display advertising, no pop-ups, no newsletter sponsorships, no data selling. If that changes it will be written here first.
Current relationships
Investing.com · InvestingPro. Added 10 August 2026, the day the first partner link went live. Links to InvestingPro on our review pages are partner links, and each of those pages carries a dated disclosure above the first link. The same programme provided the reviewer account recorded on the access log. The ranking methodology on the alternatives page was fixed while Investing.com was the only product paying anything, the two criteria it scores worst on carry 40% of the weight combined, and if a second partner ever joins, the weights do not move. Where InvestingPro is the wrong choice for a particular investor, the pages say so.
Every future programme will be named here on the day its first link goes live, with the date it was added. A site that says "some links may be affiliate links" has told you nothing you can check.
