About Investor Trip

How we make money

Our editorial decisions are, and always have been, independent and impartial, and our broker evaluations are always unbiased.

We will never accept compensation to boost ratings (we don’t do “pay-to-play” here), and our evaluations are based on thousands of hours of in-depth research by our expert analysts. Any revisions of our content are based solely on our research and testing methodologies.

Our opinions simply can’t be bought – by anyone. So how do we make money?

• We feature clearly labeled advertising on some of our pages.
• We partner with financial service providers in affiliate relationships.

Our partners compensate us for referrals completed from affiliate links – but they can’t pay us to alter a review, modify an opinion, or inflate a star rating. Our editorial team operates strictly independently of our advertising team in order to maintain objectivity.

Our editorial principles

• If we love a service or brokerage, we’ll tell you.
• If we think a broker or service has room to improve (or should be avoided altogether), we’ll say so and explain why.
• If we’ve determined that using a broker or service provider puts your money at risk, we’ll say so no matter what.

• We never change our opinion of a product or service, or modify our evaluation process, to gain or preserve an affiliate partnership.
• We never highlight (or deliberately conceal) a specific product or service to gain or maintain an affiliate relationship.
• We never alter our proprietary data-driven algorithms to favor an affiliate partner.
• We never share marketing revenue information or advertising campaign data with our researchers or our editorial team.
• Your trust in us, as well as the trust we have earned from the industry as a whole, is of the utmost importance to our mission and our charter as a Certified B Corporation. To that end, we want to be open with our readers about who our partners are. See below for a list of our partners.
