At Hataf Capital, transparency isn’t just our policy—it’s our promise. This disclosure explains how affiliate marketing fits into our business model and impacts the content you see on HatafCapital.com. We believe in honest communication about how we generate revenue while maintaining the editorial independence that has defined our platform since 2010.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn commissions when you purchase products or services from our partners. Here’s how they work: When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, the partnering company can track that the sale came from Hataf Capital. In return, they pay us a small commission—typically between 1-10% of the sale value.
For example: If we link to a investment book that costs $30 and you purchase it through our link, we might earn $3-5 in commission. This doesn’t change the price you pay—it comes from the retailer’s marketing budget.
How We Use Affiliate Links
Product Recommendations
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe can benefit our readers. This includes:

Editorial Standards for Affiliate Content
Our editorial team follows strict guidelines: Every affiliate partner undergoes thorough evaluation before we consider linking to them. We test products, evaluate services, and assess company reputations independently. Companies can’t pay us to include affiliate links. Our editorial team makes all content decisions based solely on reader value. Every affiliate link is clearly marked. You’ll see phrases like “affiliate link,” “sponsored link,” or specific disclosure language near affiliate content.
How Affiliates Don’t Influence Our Content
Editorial Independence
Our content creation process remains completely independent from affiliate relationships: Stock analysis, market commentary, and research reports are written without considering affiliate relationships. Our analysts research companies based on fundamentals, not potential affiliate revenue. We don’t alter investment recommendations to drive affiliate sales. If a recommended broker happens to be an affiliate partner, that’s coincidental to our analysis. Our editorial team works independently from our business development team. Content creators don’t have access to affiliate revenue data.
We audit our affiliate partnerships quarterly, removing any that don’t meet our standards or have disappointed our readers. We actively monitor reader experiences with affiliate partners and adjust our recommendations accordingly. We track both conversion rates and customer satisfaction. Partners are evaluated on long-term reader value, not just immediate sales.
How We Disclose Affiliates
Affiliate links may appear in different colors or include special icons. Text near affiliate links states “This is an affiliate link” or similar language. Articles containing affiliate links include disclosure notices prominently placed.
We use clear, unambiguous language:
- “This post contains affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase.”
- “As an affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.”
- “Some links on this page are affiliate links. We may earn commission if you purchase through these links.”
We reinvest affiliate earnings into better serving our readers rather than short-term profit maximization.
