Editorial policy

Descriptive, never prescriptive

Investing touches money, and money is a “your money or your life” topic. That is why every entry on Investing Value follows one hard rule: we describe, we do not advise. No entry contains buy/sell/hold recommendations, return promises, product endorsements or personalised suggestions. Where a concept involves risk, the entry says so plainly.

Sourcing

Factual claims and figures reference their sources: regulators, central banks, official statistics, academic work or primary documents. They are listed at the end of each entry. If a number cannot be sourced, it does not get published.

Review and maintenance

Entries pass an editorial review before publication and show the date of the most recent review in their byline. Because the dictionary is a living reference rather than a news archive, entries are periodically re-reviewed and updated; the “last reviewed” date reflects that cycle. Reviews are carried out by the Investing Value editorial team.

How content is produced

Drafting is assisted by AI research and writing tools, operating inside the rules above; every published entry carries editorial responsibility, held by the publisher, Next Day Online. Errors can be reported to info@nextdayonline.nl and are corrected in place.

Advertising

Display advertising is the site’s only revenue source. Ads are visually distinct from content, never appear before a definition’s opening answer, and advertisers have no influence on what entries say or which terms we cover. We do not run affiliate links for financial products.
