Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability
Independent ETF research and analytics are intended to inform your research—not to replace your judgment or professional advice. Please review the terms below before relying on this website or its tools.
Important: By accessing or using The Sunday Investor, ETF-Rankings.com, the ETF Power Rankings system, related screening, comparison, portfolio and analytics tools, or any associated content (collectively, the “Services”), you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating the information and for your investment and other decisions. Nothing on this site is a promise, guarantee, or personalized recommendation.
01 Information, Not Advice
All articles, ratings, rankings, scores, model outputs, estimates, commentary, data, tables, visualizations and other materials are provided for general informational, educational and research purposes only. They do not constitute individualized investment, financial, trading, legal, accounting or tax advice; an offer or solicitation; or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security or pursue any strategy.
No assessment of your personal financial circumstances, objectives, investment horizon, tax status, suitability or risk tolerance is made. Consult appropriately qualified and licensed professionals where needed.
02 Investment Risk & No Guarantees
All investments involve risk, including volatility, liquidity constraints and the potential loss of some or all invested capital. ETFs may be affected by market conditions, concentration, leverage, currency movements, tracking differences, fees, distributions and changes in underlying holdings.
Past performance does not predict or guarantee future results. Rankings, backtests, forecasts, estimates, yield figures and illustrative scenarios are not assurances of future performance or outcomes.
03 Data Accuracy & Availability
Information may be obtained from third parties, public sources, automated processes and proprietary calculations. Although reasonable efforts may be made to maintain useful information, the Services are provided without any guarantee that content is accurate, complete, current, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose.
Data can be delayed, revised, missing, stale, inconsistent or affected by methodology choices, corporate actions, classification differences and technical errors. Features, access, datasets and calculations may change or be discontinued without notice.
04 Models, Rankings & Tools
ETF Power Rankings, screeners, comparison tools, portfolio analytics, overlap calculations, sector exposures, risk indicators and other outputs are analytical aids, not investment instructions. Scores and results depend on inputs, assumptions, calculation methods and data availability; different methodologies can produce materially different conclusions.
You must independently verify any figures or conclusions before acting, including against fund-provider disclosures, prospectuses and other primary sources. An ETF appearing highly ranked or meeting a screen does not mean it is suitable, safe or expected to outperform.
05 Third-Party Sources & Links
The Services may include links, quotations, data, advertisements or references to external websites, publishers, fund sponsors and other providers. Their content, availability, security, accuracy and practices are outside our control. A link or reference does not imply endorsement, verification or responsibility for third-party products, statements or services.
06 No Professional Relationship
Use of the Services, including sending messages, submitting analysis requests, subscribing or paying for access, does not create an adviser-client, fiduciary, broker-client or other professional advisory relationship. The Sunday Investor is an independent research publisher and does not hold itself out as a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer.
07 Use at Your Own Risk
You are solely responsible for your due diligence, the accuracy of any information you enter, your interpretation of results and every decision or transaction you make. You should not rely exclusively on this site when making investment or financial decisions. The Services may be unavailable or interrupted, and results may differ across devices, dates or data sources.
08 No Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or uninterrupted availability.
09 Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Sunday Investor, ETF-Rankings.com, Geoffrey Learmonth, and their respective owners, authors, contributors, affiliates, service providers and representatives disclaim liability for any losses, damages, costs or claims arising out of or related to your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Services or any linked third-party content. This includes, without limitation, investment or trading losses, lost profits, lost opportunities, business interruption, data loss, and any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law. Any liability that cannot be excluded is limited only to the extent legally permitted.
10 Changes & Interpretation
Content, tools, methodology and this disclaimer may be updated at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Services following a change constitutes acknowledgment of the updated notice, to the extent permitted by law. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions are intended to continue in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.
