Editorial Guidelines and Standards
At Investing Point, we are committed to delivering trustworthy, accurate, and actionable financial content to our readers. Our editorial standards guide every piece of content we publish, ensuring you receive reliable information to make informed investment decisions.
Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. We maintain strict independence from advertisers and business partners, prioritizing our readers' interests above all else.
Our Core Principles
Accuracy and Balance
We strive to present complete, accurate, and balanced information in every article. Our readers deserve the full picture, not just one perspective.
Credible Sources
We rely exclusively on verifiable and authoritative sources, including SEC filings, company reports, government data, and expert interviews.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or business relationships. We maintain a strict separation between content and commerce.
Rigorous Fact-Checking
Every piece of content undergoes thorough fact-checking before publication. We verify data, quotes, and claims to ensure accuracy.
Accuracy and Information Quality
We are dedicated to publishing information that is accurate, complete, and current as of the publication date. Our content team verifies all facts, figures, and data points before publication.
When presenting analysis or opinions, we clearly distinguish them from factual reporting. We present multiple viewpoints when appropriate and avoid sensationalism in favor of balanced, objective coverage.
Market data, company fundamentals, earnings information, analyst ratings, and other financial data are sourced from reputable providers, including Finnhub and other industry-standard databases.
Source Standards
Our writers and editors use primary sources whenever possible, including:
- SEC filings and regulatory documents
- Official company announcements and earnings reports
- Government agencies and official statistical bureaus
- Direct interviews with company executives and industry experts
- Peer-reviewed research and academic studies
When using secondary sources, we verify information through multiple channels and cite our sources appropriately to maintain transparency.
Editorial Independence
Investing Point maintains a strict firewall between our editorial operations and business relationships:
- Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over our editorial content or coverage decisions
- Our editorial team members do not receive compensation from companies we cover
- Editorial performance reviews and compensation are based solely on journalistic merit, not business outcomes
- We do not allow companies to review or approve articles before publication
While we may participate in affiliate programs and display advertisements, these relationships never compromise our editorial integrity or influence our analysis and recommendations.
Corrections and Updates
We take errors seriously. When we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently:
- Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified
- Corrections are clearly noted in the updated article
- We update articles when market conditions or material facts change significantly
- We maintain the integrity of the original article while clearly marking updates
Our commitment to accuracy extends beyond initial publication. We continuously monitor our content to ensure it remains reliable and up-to-date.
