Advertiser Disclosure
Baker Gold is reader-focused but reader-funded through affiliate compensation. Here is exactly how that works, and the line we draw between getting paid and telling the truth.
In short
The short version
Advertiser Disclosure: We may be compensated when you act on our recommendations. Compensation can influence which partners we feature and where they appear. This does not affect our editorial assessments.
In full
How we are compensated
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.
Our position
What compensation does — and does not — change
Some of the companies featured on Baker Gold, including our disclosed top-rated partner, pay us a referral fee when readers open an account or otherwise act on a link. That compensation can influence which companies we feature, where they appear, and how prominently — for example, our featured partner is placed at the top of our rankings and is labeled as such.
- We disclose the paid relationship clearly and conspicuously wherever partners are ranked or featured.
- Our editorial ratings are our own opinions, formed from publicly available information — not a company's willingness to pay.
- We do not fabricate facts, invent customer quotes, or publish false statements about any company in exchange for compensation.
- Our legitimacy assessments on the /legit pages report the public record neutrally, including unfavorable facts, regardless of any commercial relationship.
The featured partner
Our disclosed #1
Newmont Capital Group is our disclosed featured partner and appears at the top of our editorial rankings. We may be compensated if you open an account with them. This relationship is disclosed on every page where they are featured. As with every company we cover, you should independently verify their credentials — BBB rating, depository partners, and fees — before investing.
