Sponsorship policy

Page updated

IG Metrix is free to read. To keep it that way, we may accept sponsorship in future. There are no sponsors on the site at present. This page sets out the rules any sponsorship will follow, so readers know what a sponsor can and cannot buy.

What a sponsor can buy

A clearly labelled placement: for example, a sponsor's name or logo on a market page or in the monthly email.

What a sponsor cannot buy

  • Any influence over the data. Figures come from regulators' files and pass the same checks whoever sponsors the page they appear on. A sponsor cannot add, remove, delay or alter a figure.
  • Any influence over rankings. League tables are calculated from the published figures by the same rules for every market. Sponsorship never moves a market up or down.
  • Any influence over what we write. Sponsors do not see, approve or comment on release notes or other editorial content before or after publication.
  • Early access. Sponsors see figures when everyone else does.

Labelling

Every sponsored placement will carry a clear label and will be kept visually separate from the data and editorial content. Links to sponsors will be marked as sponsored links for search engines.

Review

Sponsored material is never published automatically. Our editor, Frank Black, reviews it before it goes live, and can refuse any placement that does not meet this policy.
