Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 2026

Our Commitment to Transparency

NerdsInvest (nerdsinvest.com) is committed to full transparency about how this website earns revenue. In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines under 16 CFR Part 255 , we disclose all material connections to companies whose products or services we mention on this site.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

Some links on NerdsInvest are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and subsequently sign up for or purchase a product or service, NerdsInvest may receive a commission or referral fee from the company at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the company's website.

Which Companies We Work With

NerdsInvest may have affiliate relationships with the following types of companies:

  • Online brokerage accounts (e.g., Robinhood, Fidelity, M1 Finance)
  • Robo-advisors and automated investing platforms (e.g., Betterment, Acorns)
  • Personal finance tracking tools (e.g., Empower / Personal Capital)
  • Financial education courses and books

Affiliate links are clearly identified with a contextual call-to-action card inside articles. We do not use deceptive or hidden affiliate links.

How Affiliate Revenue Affects Our Content

Affiliate commissions help keep NerdsInvest free for readers. However, we maintain strict editorial independence:

  • We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe are useful for beginner investors.
  • We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or to feature specific products in our editorial content.
  • The presence of an affiliate link does not mean we endorse every aspect of a product — always do your own research before investing.
  • Our curriculum-based articles are written to educate, not to sell. Affiliate CTAs are supplementary to the educational content.

Not Financial Advice

The content on NerdsInvest is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.
