Effective Date: January 2026
IRAwealthguide.com publishes retirement education, comparisons, and reviews with one objective: help readers make decisions based on clarity, facts, and fair evaluation—not marketing pressure.
This policy explains how we create content and protect editorial integrity.
1) Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently from advertising and business relationships. Companies cannot pay for:
- a specific rating,
- a higher ranking,
- editorial revisions that change conclusions,
- removal of legitimate criticisms.
We may cover companies we do not partner with, and we may decline to cover companies even if they request it.
2) Our Core Principles
We follow five guiding standards:
Accuracy over hype
We avoid sensational or fear-driven language, especially in retirement contexts.
Clarity over complexity
We translate technical IRA topics into plain English while keeping critical details intact.
Investor-first framing
We prioritize what protects readers: true costs, risks, red flags, and suitability considerations.
Evidence-based evaluations
We rely on verifiable information, documented policies, and consistent scoring criteria.
Continuous improvement
We update content when rules, fees, or company practices change.
3) Content Creation Standards
Our content may include:
- educational guides (e.g., “How a Gold IRA Works”),
- comparison pages (e.g., “Best Gold IRA Companies”),
- individual reviews (company-by-company analysis),
- calculators and tools,
- scam and red-flag guidance.
When writing and updating content, we aim to:
- use primary sources when possible (e.g., IRS, regulators),
- distinguish facts from opinions,
- identify assumptions and limitations (especially around pricing),
- avoid unverified claims.
4) Conflicts of Interest
We disclose affiliate relationships where relevant and do not allow compensation to determine conclusions. We may still earn compensation if you use certain links; that is explained in our Disclosure Policy.
5) Corrections Policy
If we publish an error, we correct it promptly. If a correction materially changes the interpretation of a page (such as a fee change or policy clarification), we update the content and the “last updated” date.
You can request a correction by contacting us via /contact/.
6) Author Credentials and Accountability
Articles are written and/or reviewed by authors with relevant experience. Each author has a profile page that explains their background and role. For this site, content oversight is led by Mike Reeves, who has 10+ years of experience in the Gold IRA and precious metals IRA niche.
7) No Personalized Advice
IRAwealthguide.com provides educational information only. We do not provide individualized financial, tax, or legal advice. Readers should consult qualified professionals before taking action.
