Editorial Policy

Purpose

Steady Investor is an educational website focused on simple, long-term, and evidence-based investing. The goal is to help readers understand core investing concepts in a clear and approachable way.

Not Personal Financial Advice

The content on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute personal investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice. Readers should always evaluate their own situation and, when needed, consult a qualified professional.

How Content Is Created

Content on Steady Investor may be researched, outlined, drafted, edited, or translated with the help of AI tools. However, content is reviewed before publication with the aim of improving clarity, usefulness, and factual accuracy.

AI Use and Human Review

AI is used as a support tool, not as an independent publisher. Final responsibility for published content remains with the site. Articles are reviewed before publication, with particular attention given to the English-language versions.

Language Versions and Translations

The English-language version is the primary version of the content and generally the highest-quality version. Translated versions may contain wording differences, omissions, or inaccuracies. If there is any conflict or ambiguity between language versions, the English version should be considered the authoritative version.

Sources and Accuracy

We aim to base content on credible and relevant sources whenever possible. These may include official provider materials, fund documents, regulatory sources, and other reputable references. Even so, errors may occur, and readers should verify important details from original sources.

Timeliness and Updates

Investing-related information can change over time. Fees, tax rules, broker features, product availability, and regulations may change without notice. While we aim to keep content reasonably up to date, we do not guarantee that every page is always fully current.

Editorial Principles

We aim to publish content that is:

• clear and beginner-friendly
• focused on long-term investing
• transparent and practical
• cautious around hype, speculation, and unrealistic promises
• as simple as possible without being misleading

Commercial Relationships

If affiliate links, sponsorships, or commercial partnerships are used, we aim to disclose them clearly. Commercial relationships should not override the goal of producing useful, honest, and reader-first educational content.

Corrections

If a meaningful factual error is identified, we aim to correct it within a reasonable time. Readers are welcome to get in touch if they notice a mistake or an unclear passage.
