Preferred source categories.
Each source should help readers verify data, understand definitions, or continue learning from a credible reference.
Use primary disclosure.
- SEC EDGARCompany filings and fund disclosure documents.
- Investor.govSEC investor education.
- FINRA InvestorsInvestor protection and education.
Use issuer and index documents.
ETF pages should reference prospectuses, issuer fund pages, index methodology, expense ratios, holdings, distributions, tax notes, and liquidity context.
How sources appearSource links should be visible near the claim, inside source boxes, or at the end of the article.
What sources do not meanA source supports a fact or definition; it does not automatically make an investment conclusion correct for every reader.
FreshnessMarket pages should show release dates or last-reviewed dates when data can become stale.
Low-authority sourcesUnverified social posts, promotional materials, and anonymous claims should not anchor important financial claims.
