Capital Maniacs publishes educational content about personal finance, investing, markets, and related topics. Because financial information can materially influence decisions, we apply standards designed to prioritize accuracy, transparency, and reader trust.
This Policy explains how we research, verify, and publish content across investing, markets, crypto, technology, macroeconomics, and personal finance. It applies to articles, explainers, definitions, tools/calculators, and commentary published on capitalmaniacs.com.
In a nutshell
- We aim to verify factual claims using credible sources such as regulators, official statistics, issuer documentation, and established research.
- We maintain editorial independence and do not provide personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.
- We include clear risk language and jurisdiction context when content could influence financial decisions.
- Sponsored content is clearly labeled and kept separate from editorial content.
- We correct material errors and update content when facts change, where feasible.
Our editorial commitment
Capital Maniacs exists to educate and inform, not to sell or persuade. We explain how financial markets work, how regulations protect investors, what risks exist in different asset classes, and how economic forces shape investing environments. We do not tell you what to buy, sell, or how to invest your money.
We write in plain language to make finance accessible. We break down jargon, explain concepts step by step, and use examples to illustrate how things work in practice.
How we research and verify information
Before publication, we consult multiple credible sources to verify facts, data, and regulatory claims. We prioritize official authorities, government statistical agencies, academic research, and established data providers over blogs, forums, or unverified sources.
When we present performance data, fee comparisons, tax scenarios, or market statistics, we aim to provide context, assumptions, and limitations. If information is uncertain, incomplete, or subject to change, we state that clearly rather than speculate.
Content may be reviewed for factual accuracy, clarity, neutrality, and appropriate risk language prior to publication.
What we cover
Our coverage includes investing fundamentals, stocks, bonds, ETFs/index funds, commodities, real estate, crypto and digital assets, macroeconomics, central bank policy, inflation, taxation, retirement planning, saving strategies, market analysis, technology risk in finance, sustainability investing, and global regulatory developments.
We write for both beginners and experienced readers, acknowledging complexity where it exists.
Editorial independence and conflicts of interest
We operate independently of advertising, sponsorships, or commercial partnerships. Advertising does not influence what we write, how we frame topics, or which products we cover. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage.
If sponsored content appears on Capital Maniacs, it will be clearly labeled. Sponsored content and editorial content are kept separate.
Affiliate links (transparency)
Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and take an action (such as signing up or purchasing), we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Where applicable, we disclose affiliate relationships on the relevant page.
Why we do not give financial advice
Financial advice is personalized guidance tailored to your situation, goals, risk tolerance, tax status, and time horizon. Capital Maniacs does not provide personalized advice because we do not know your personal circumstances. Our content is educational and informational only.
Balanced coverage and risk awareness
Markets involve uncertainty and the potential for loss. We avoid hype and promotional language and discuss risks, downside scenarios, and limitations. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Global perspective with jurisdiction awareness
We cover financial topics from a global perspective, with particular attention to EU, UK, and US frameworks. Investor protections, taxes, and product availability vary by region. Where relevant, we clarify the jurisdiction and avoid implying rules are universal.
Corrections and updates
If we identify a material error, we aim to correct it promptly. When appropriate, we add a correction note or update the last-reviewed date.

- the specific statement you believe is incorrect
