Read the Markets

Financial disclaimer

Read the Markets is not investment advice.

This page is part of, and qualifies, the Terms and Conditions.

In short

  • Everything published here is for educational and informational purposes only.
  • Nothing on this site is a buy or sell recommendation, a personal recommendation, or an inducement to deal in any financial instrument.
  • Read the Markets is not a regulated financial firm. It is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority and is not a registered investment adviser in any jurisdiction.
  • The output is not tailored to your circumstances, objectives, tax position, or risk tolerance.
  • Past performance does not predict future returns. Investing carries the risk of losing money, including the principal.

About the AI output

The strategic log and indicator summaries are generated by large language models from publicly available market data and news. They can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Numbers can be misread. Models occasionally generate inaccurate or invented information (often called “hallucinations”). Treat them as a prompt to think, not as facts to act on.

The portfolio feature is a browser-only composition viewer: it parses a CSV you supply, computes neutral statistics (weights, sector / currency / concentration breakdown), and shows them to you. Your holdings stay in your browser; they are never sent to or stored on the server. There is no AI commentary on your portfolio.

Before you act on anything

Consult a properly qualified, regulated financial adviser who knows your full situation. Read the source documents (issuer accounts, fund prospectus, etc.). If you are not in a position to lose the money you would put at risk, do not put it at risk.

Jurisdiction

Read the Markets is operated from United Kingdom. The Service is not directed at, or intended for distribution to or use by, any person in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.

No part of this Service constitutes an offer or solicitation of securities to any US person within the meaning of US securities law.

The Service is not directed at retail or professional clients in any EU/EEA member state, nor in any jurisdiction where its provision would require local licensing or registration. Where any output of the Service could be construed as an “investment recommendation” within the meaning of Article 3(1)(35) of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation), with conduct duties under Article 20 MAR and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/958 (or the UK onshored equivalent), the operator’s position is that the Service publishes non-personalised commentary on public market data by a non-regulated source for educational purposes, and does not directly propose a particular investment decision in any specific instrument. The operator has no position in, and no remuneration linked to, the specific instruments mentioned in any individual piece of commentary.

No warranty

The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator excludes liability for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the content. See the Terms and Conditions for the full limitation of liability.
