Trust — Methodology
How Richiest decides what belongs in the Frame.
Richiest is built around a simple job-based portfolio: Park, Earn, Build, Roam, Dare. Each slot has a purpose, and every recommendation should explain the job before it explains the ticker.
Fund selection criteria
- Does the fund actually do the job the slot needs?
- Is the expense ratio reasonable for the use case?
- Is liquidity good enough for ordinary investors?
- Does the fund create overlap or simplify the Frame?
- Would a normal household understand why it belongs here?
How Richiest makes money
Richiest may earn affiliate commissions when users open accounts through links on broker pages. Those links are labeled near the money action, and the disclosure is not hidden in a footer.
Data sources
Richiest keeps the live source list on a dedicated page so the ETF pages can stay focused on the Frame itself. The source page explains which issuer pages, SEC filings, and fund fact sheets are used, and how last-verified dates are handled.
What not to expect: hidden math, black-box signals, or a portfolio that changes because a headline was loud.
Last updated: keep the page date current whenever fund data or broker links change.
