No E-commerce or Investment Advice

Our Platform does not allow you purchase services from Advisors or to sell your services as an Advisor. Nothing on the Platform of the website may be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, in any jurisdiction.

The Platform, Services and Content are for informational and communicative purposes only. Advisorsavvy is not registered as either a financial advisor or a portfolio manager and does not offer investment or financial advice. All investment-related information posted on the Platform is posted by Advisors and does not establish any professional/client relationship between

Standard Users and Advisorsavvy. No Content published on the Platform is a recommendation that any particular investment, security, portfolio of securities, transaction or investment strategy is suitable for any specific individual. To the extent any of the Content is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be investment advice, such information is general in nature and is not personalized to the investment needs of any specific individual.

The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional investment advice. The Platform functions solely as a means of publication of Content that Advisors and Standard Users of the Site provide to Advisorsavvy. Advisorsavvy does not recommend or endorse any Advisors that hold themselves out on the Platform to be investment professionals and does not endorse any Content posted by Advisors.
