Disclosures

What Silver Money is, what it isn’t, and the risks to keep in mind when reading about silver and precious metals.

Draft for reviewLast updated: date

Draft template — not yet in effect. This disclosures page is a starting template. It must be reviewed, completed and customized for the actual website operator (ideally with a qualified lawyer) before publication. Items in dashed boxes need to be replaced. Nothing here confirms that the site’s practices have been reviewed for legal compliance.

Educational content, not personalized advice

Silver Money publishes general educational information about silver, precious metals and related investments. The content does not take into account any individual’s objectives, financial situation, tax position or needs, and it is not personalized investment, financial, tax or legal advice. Nothing on this website is a recommendation or an offer to buy or sell any security, commodity, product or service.

Registration status

Operator to confirm and complete: for example, “Silver Money and its operator are not registered with any Canadian securities regulator as a dealer, adviser or investment fund manager.”

If you want personalized advice, consider a registered professional. You can check registration through the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Registration Search.

Investment risks

Precious metals and related investments can lose value. In particular:

  • Silver prices can be volatile and may fall significantly, including over long periods.
  • Physical silver involves costs such as dealer premiums, bid-ask spreads, storage and insurance, and it can be stolen, lost or counterfeited.
  • Exchange-traded products, mining shares, futures and other derivatives carry additional risks, including structural, company, counterparty, liquidity and leverage risks. Leveraged products can lose more than the amount invested.
  • Currency movements affect prices for Canadian investors.
  • Taxes may apply when you sell.

Forecasts and past performance

Forecasts are uncertain, and no one can reliably predict future prices. Silver Money does not predict or guarantee future prices or returns. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Any hypothetical or illustrative examples on this website, including charts using made-up data, are clearly labelled and do not represent real prices or returns.

Market information and timeliness

This website does not display live market prices. Market-related commentary is dated where possible, may become outdated, and should not be relied on as current. Always check current information from primary sources before making a decision.

No endorsement

References to organizations, exchanges, mints, refiners, products or types of products are for educational purposes and are not endorsements. Silver Money does not recommend specific dealers or products.

Affiliate links and paid relationships

Operator to confirm: “At present, Silver Money has no affiliate links, sponsorships or paid relationships.”

If affiliate links, sponsored content, advertising or other paid relationships are introduced, they will be disclosed clearly near the relevant content, as well as on this page. A disclosure near content might read:

Disclosure: This page contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, Silver Money may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not change our editorial content.

Personal holdings and conflicts of interest

Operator to disclose any personal or business holdings in silver, silver-related products or mining companies that could create a conflict of interest, or confirm there are none, and describe how conflicts are managed.
