Disclosures & Disclaimers
General Disclaimer
The Algo Institute publishes independent research, analysis, ratings, and educational content related to algorithmic trading and investment systems. The information provided on this site is for general informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing published by The Algo Institute constitutes personalized investment advice, individualized portfolio recommendations, financial planning services, or a solicitation, offer, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any investment product or to engage with any specific platform or vendor.
Not a Financial Advisor
The Algo Institute is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, financial planner, or licensed financial professional. We do not hold any securities licenses or registrations with any regulatory body.
Our ratings and research reflect the output of an analytical framework applied consistently across all systems reviewed. They are general assessments — not recommendations tailored to any individual investor's financial situation, risk tolerance, or investment objectives.
Risk Disclosure
All trading and investment activity involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance of any trading system, methodology, or strategy does not guarantee future results. The performance data referenced in our research is historical and may not reflect future conditions.
Investors should use The Algo Institute's research as one input among many in their own decision-making process. We encourage all investors to conduct independent due diligence and consult with qualified, licensed financial professionals before making any investment decisions.
Ratings Methodology
Our evaluations are based on objective criteria applied consistently across all systems we review. Ratings may change over time as new information becomes available, methodology is updated, or a system's structural characteristics change.
A high rating does not guarantee profitability. A low rating does not guarantee loss. Ratings assess structural characteristics of systems — not future returns.
Affiliated Entity Disclosure
SkySail Strategies, an algorithmic investment and strategy firm, serves as the Institute's founding research partner. The Institute's evaluation methodology was originally developed within SkySail's institutional research practice and has been adapted for independent publication.
SkySail's own investment portfolios are included in the Institute's coverage universe alongside all other algorithmic systems. They are evaluated using the same methodology, the same scoring framework, and the same standards applied to every platform in our research. The Institute does not provide preferential treatment to SkySail or any affiliated entity.
This relationship is disclosed in accordance with the Institute's commitment to independence and transparency.
