1. The short version
Some of the outbound links on Financially Skilled People may be affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for or buy a product, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. You never pay more because a link is an affiliate link.
2. What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a special link that tells a partner we referred you. If you go on to use that partner’s product, they may pay us a small referral fee. It does not change the price you pay, and it does not change which products we choose to mention.
3. How it affects what we recommend
It doesn’t. We built FSP around being honest about trading, and we hold our own recommendations to the same standard. We only point you toward tools and services we believe are genuinely useful — ideally ones we’d use ourselves. A commission never buys a recommendation, a ranking, or a kind word.
4. Not financial advice
Affiliate links, like everything else on this site, are for educational and informational purposes only. They are not investment, financial, or tax advice, and a link is not an endorsement of any trading outcome. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Always do your own research and consider your own circumstances.
5. How to spot them
Where practical, we mark affiliate links or note nearby that a link is an affiliate link. If you’re ever unsure whether a particular link is an affiliate link, you can assume it might be — and it still costs you nothing extra either way.
6. FTC & disclosure standards
This page exists so we’re upfront with you, in the spirit of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines and similar rules elsewhere. The exact affiliate programmes we participate in will be listed here once confirmed.
