Disclaimer

Last updated: May 20, 2026

This page sets out the investment-related disclosures and disclaimers that apply to gptinvest.ai and the connected domains — stockratings.ai, trendingstocks.info, and aiquantforge.com. It forms part of the Terms of Service. Read it before relying on anything you see on the site.

Not investment advice

Nothing on the site is investment advice. The content is published as general research and educational material to a broad audience. It is not calibrated to your financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, tax setup, investment objectives, or income needs.

If you need advice tailored to you, talk to a registered investment adviser, broker, or qualified financial planner licensed in your country of residence.

Not a solicitation

The site is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, investment product, or service in any jurisdiction. We do not accept client money, hold client assets, or execute trades.

The site does not solicit business in any jurisdiction where doing so would require registration or would otherwise be unlawful. Residents of such jurisdictions are responsible for determining whether their use of the site is consistent with their local laws.

Regulatory status

GptInvest is operated by GptInvest. It is a research publisher. It is not:

  • A registered investment adviser under the US Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or any state law
  • A broker-dealer registered with the US SEC or FINRA
  • A regulated firm under the UK Financial Services and Markets Act or FCA rules
  • An authorised investment firm under EU MiFID II
  • A regulated entity in any other jurisdiction

The site operates under the publishers exclusion from the Investment Advisers Act and equivalent provisions in other jurisdictions, on the basis that its content is impersonal, of regular and general circulation, and not tailored to individual readers.

Hypothetical and model performance

All portfolio returns shown on the site are model and hypothetical. They are calculated from each portfolio’s inception date forward, using closing prices, with dividends reinvested where applicable. They reflect what the portfolio would have returned if followed exactly from inception with no friction.

They do not reflect actual trading. They do not include:

  • Brokerage commissions or transaction fees
  • Bid-ask spread or slippage on entries and exits
  • Borrowing or financing costs
  • Taxes of any kind
  • Account, custody, or platform fees

Actual results from attempting to replicate any portfolio would differ, sometimes materially — especially on higher-turnover strategies like Hot Ideas and Max AI Rating.

Past performance

Past performance — including the live, time-stamped record on this site — is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Strategies that have outperformed for years can underperform for years. The Mid-Term portfolio has beaten the S&P 500 since November 2023; that fact says nothing definitive about what it will do next year, or next quarter.

Backtests

Material in the Quant Lab section is hypothetical and based on historical data. Backtested results carry inherent limitations including:

  • The benefit of hindsight in strategy construction and parameter selection
  • The inability to fully account for the market impact of trading
  • Universes that may exhibit survivorship bias
  • Execution assumptions that may not hold in live markets
  • The absence of real-world emotional factors that affect actual trading decisions

Backtested performance is never combined with live portfolio performance in any headline figure on the site.

What the AI does and does not do

The scoring system combines outputs from multiple language models and quantitative filters into a single composite score. It identifies patterns in historical and current market data. It does not:

  • Predict the future
  • Have access to material non-public information
  • Have privileged insight into corporate actions or announcements
  • Make judgments about suitability for any individual
  • Flag its own uncertainty when it is wrong

The phrase “AI rating” on the site refers to a quantitative score, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

Concentration and risk of loss

Investing in securities involves the risk of loss, including the loss of principal. All portfolios on the site hold between 10 and 15 positions, which is concentrated relative to a broad index fund. Concentrated portfolios carry materially higher single-name risk. They can also underperform broader markets for extended periods.

Short-term ideas on TrendingStocks.info are even more concentrated and shorter-horizon, with correspondingly higher variance of outcomes.

Forward-looking statements

The site may contain forward-looking statements — expectations, projections, scenarios, or assumptions about the future. These are inherently uncertain. Actual outcomes can and frequently do differ materially from any forward-looking statement.

Third-party data

The site relies on third-party market data feeds, news sources, and financial databases. We make reasonable efforts to use accurate data but do not warrant that any data is accurate, complete, or current. Errors in third-party data can flow through to ratings, ideas, and portfolio outputs.

No fiduciary relationship

Reading the site, subscribing to the email, or using any of the connected domains does not create a fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, or any other professional relationship between you and GptInvest or its operators.

Errors and omissions

We try to keep the site accurate and up to date, but errors happen. We reserve the right to correct any error in content, performance figures, ratings, or methodology at any time without prior notice. If you spot something that looks wrong, email support@gptinvest.ai and we’ll look at it.

Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions. If you choose to act on any information from the site, you do so at your own risk and after — if you need it — independent professional advice.
