We take great care when handling data and fund analysis. However, our suppliers may provide us with incorrect data: always check the information you find on Positive Finance and notify us if you find an error, we will correct it as soon as possible.

This isnot a financial advisory site ; our goal is to help you evolve as a Positive Investor and become more aware and competent. Before investing, always check with your adviser or bank that your choices are appropriate and will not harm you.

Never trust the performance shown by funds, they always refer to the past. We use statistical methods to measure returns by estimating with objective methodologies the continuity and robustness of the performance and risks that funds and etfs have achieved. We do not forecast the future of markets or funds.

Our analyses of managers'sustainability policies (referred to in the tables as MCSR Intensity) are done with care, method and passion but cover only a few thousand funds.

We prefer to invest in Article 9 funds because they are the ones where the managers take the greatest responsibility for doing things well and should be the least risky. Remember that a Positive Investor will always find an official indication in the SFDR chapter indicating, under Article 8, whether the company considers sustainability and performance together or, under Article 9, whether it gives priority to the sustainability of the companies in which it invests.

In summary, avoid DIY (unless you want to study finance seriously) and trading (it is a business for professionals), rely on a good advisor. Remember that you are paying him to look after your interests even when you feel you are not paying him.

We will soon be building courses to teach you how to invest, how to reduce risk and how to achieve your goals. You will find that psychology applied to finance clearly explains the mistakes made by investors.
