Transparency
Advertiser Disclosure
How Liberty Gold USA is funded, how that funding can influence what you see, and the firm line we draw between advertising and our editorial ratings.
In plain terms
We are an independent publisher that earns referral compensation from some of the companies featured on this site, including our top-rated partner. This compensation may influence which companies we list, where they appear, and how prominently. Our ratings reflect our own editorial judgment based on publicly available information; they are opinions, not guarantees, and are not personalized investment advice. Always do your own research and verify a company's credentials (e.g., BBB rating, registrations, depository partners) before investing.
How we make money
Liberty Gold USA (libertygoldusa.com) is a free, independent publisher. We do not charge readers and we do not sell precious metals, custody assets, or provide financial advice. We are supported by affiliate (referral) compensation: when you click certain links to a featured company and subsequently open an account or request information, that company may pay us a referral fee. Our top-rated featured partner, Newmont Capital Group, is one such compensated relationship and is disclosed as our #1 overall pick.
How compensation can — and cannot — influence the site
Compensation can influence which companies we feature, where they appear, and how prominently they are displayed. It does not change the editorial scores themselves. Our ratings are assigned against the same five weighted criteria for every company, using publicly available information, and are applied to compensated and non-compensated companies alike. A company is never scored higher for paying us, and our featured partner's shortcomings are still disclosed.
Where this disclosure appears
In keeping with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines, a clear advertiser disclosure appears on every page that ranks, compares, or recommends companies — including the homepage scorecard, individual reviews, head-to-head comparisons, and best-for guides. This page is the full, long-form version referenced by those notices.
Ratings are editorial opinion
Ratings are our independent editorial opinion, not user reviews. They are our independent assessment, expressed out of 5, based on the information available to us at the time of publication. They are not user reviews, not guarantees of any outcome, and not personalized advice.
Not financial advice
This content is for general education only and is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Investing in precious metals carries risk, including loss of principal. Consult a licensed professional before making decisions.
