At Investment Bankers, we take content quality seriously. You trust us to provide reliable, up-to-date information, and we take that responsibility to heart.
Here’s how we maintain high-quality, accurate, and transparent content:
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We verify everything we publish for accuracy. Before an article goes live, our team checks all facts and figures against reputable sources, whether it’s an official report, academic research, or a trusted news outlet. If we cite a statistic or explain a concept, we’ve confirmed it or we’ll tell you where it came from.
Each article is also reviewed by an editor (often Marco, our Chief Researcher) for clarity and correctness. We look out for any errors or inconsistencies and fix them prior to publishing.
Accuracy isn’t one-and-done, it’s ongoing. We periodically review and update our articles to ensure they remain accurate and relevant.
The finance world changes fast, so if a piece of information becomes outdated, we’ll update the article.
Our commitment is to give you the most current and correct info at all times.
Expert Contributors
Quality content comes from knowledgeable contributors. The core team at Investment Bankers has real-world finance experience, and we also collaborate with select contributors like former bankers, financial analysts, and experienced finance writers. We vet everyone who contributes to the site to make sure they have the credentials and expertise to back up their words.
You’ll always see who wrote an article, we include author bylines and bios so you know the person’s background. We don’t do anonymous or AI-generated articles. Our writers stand behind their work, and we want you to know their qualifications so you can trust the insights they share.
Independence and Transparency
Our content is driven by our honest opinions, research, and experience, not by outside influences. We don’t let advertisers or sponsors dictate our content. If we recommend a tool or critique a company, it’s because we genuinely believe it, not because someone paid us. Period.
If we ever publish sponsored content or use affiliate links, we will disclose it clearly upfront.
We follow FTC guidelines on transparency to make sure you’re never misled about paid relationships. That said, the vast majority of our content has no financial strings attached – it’s just our unbiased take.
We also make it a point to cite our sources (via links or references) whenever we use data, quotes, or specific claims.
Our team adheres to standard journalism ethics of accuracy, fairness, and accountability. If any writer has a potential conflict of interest on a topic, they’re required to tell us, and we’ll pass that info on to you when relevant.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
Finance can feel exclusive, but we want our site to be welcoming to everyone. We strive to use inclusive language and examples so that people from all backgrounds feel represented in our content.
We avoid unnecessary jargon, and when we need to use technical terms, we explain them in plain English so that no reader is left behind.
We’re also committed to accessibility. Our articles are formatted with clear headings, short paragraphs, and bullet points to make them easy to read.
The website is designed to be mobile-friendly and easy to navigate, with readable fonts and appropriate contrast.
We add descriptive alt text to images and follow other web accessibility best practices to accommodate readers using assistive technologies.
Feedback and Corrections
We view our content as a living resource and we’re always looking to improve. If you spot an error or even just have a suggestion, please reach out and let us know. We take reader feedback seriously.
When a correction is needed, we fix the content as quickly as possible. Minor issues (typos, small clarifications) might be updated quietly, but for major errors or important updates, we’ll add a note in the article or an update timestamp so it’s clear that changes were made.
We believe in owning up to mistakes and correcting them transparently.
Your feedback also helps shape our content. If we notice readers commonly asking a particular question or requesting a topic, we’ll address it in a future article or update.
