Evidence standards
We prefer regulator registers, company records, legal terms and dated first-party documents. Promotional claims are attributed and not treated as independently verified.
We distinguish facts, interpretation and educational examples. We do not invent test results, regulation, fees, ratings, awards or testimonials.
Independence and conflicts
Aptus Trade Research is an independent educational publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Aptus Trade.
Content does not offer trading services and is not written as individualized advice. Any future commercial relationship would require visible disclosure and would not control conclusions.
Corrections and review
Financial products and public records change. Material content should be reviewed against current sources, and substantive corrections should be made transparently.
Readers should verify time-sensitive facts themselves before acting. A publication date is not proof that every external condition remains current.
