How We Make Money
Asset Scholar, its owners, or its subsidiaries may receive compensation by companies, platforms, and services mentioned on this website. This may include, but is not limited to, affiliate programs, referral links, or payments related to advertising.
Effects Of Affiliate And Referral Programs
Companies, investment platforms, and services that offer affiliate or referral programs may impact the frequency at which they appear on the site. For example, we may be more likely to provide a higher level of news coverage for an investment platform with a generous referral program compared to one that does not have a referral program.
Sponsored Posts
Additionally, Asset Scholar may engage in the practice of creating “sponsored posts.” Under such an arrangement, the site will prioritize creating content desired by the sponsor.
However, Asset Scholar and its authors will be held to strict editorial, journalistic, and professional standards in such cases. Our goal is always to provide useful, educational content for our readers. We will never knowingly publish something that is false or misleading in exchange for payment.
In the event that the sponsored content involves the opinion or analysis of the author, such as in the case of a review, Asset Scholar will make every reasonable effort to provide an honest assessment of the sponsor that is useful and informative for our readers. Asset Scholar will never alter a review score or censor critique or criticism of a sponsor in exchange for payment.
Potential Conflicts Of Interest
Asset Scholar and the individuals that support or produce content for it are naturally interested and enthusiastic about alternative investments. We are believers in the rise of alternatives. We are also fans of specific asset classes and investment platforms, companies, and services. As such, Asset Scholar and its staff may have or make investments into the platforms, companies, and services that are covered on the site.
Despite these investments, we will always strive to provide useful, accurate, and informative content for our readers. To the extent humanly possible, we will not allow these investments to influence our content. We are keenly aware that trust takes a very long time to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. Our brand and reputation are invaluable to us and they are not something we will put at risk due to investments related to the alternative investment space.
As of March 2023, Asset Scholar, its staff, and contributors have made investments into a number of different companies providing investment platforms, products, or services within the alternative investment ecosystem. No investment made into an individual company exceeds $1,025 and the total principal invested does not exceed $10,000.
Content Errors Or Inaccuracies
Asset Scholar will always strive to provide useful and accurate information to its readers. While content available on the site is produced in a good-faith effort to meet that standard, it is possible that mistakes, errors, or inaccuracies may appear on the website.
The Responsibility Of Readers
Readers and users of the site are responsible for making their own financial, investment, tax, and legal decisions.
All investments carry risk, including the potential for the loss of the entire investment. All readers must perform their own review, due diligence, and risk assessment of all investment opportunities, companies, and services to determine if they are appropriate for their individual circumstances.
While we work very hard to provide a vast array of useful, accurate, and informative content, readers must be aware that we are not perfect. Readers should keep this in mind and seek out additional sources of information as necessary. Most investment companies and platforms will have Investor Relations departments that you can contact to ask questions and seek clarification.
