All projections are hypothetical. Investing involves risk of loss. Consult a licensed financial advisor before investing.

1. Educational Purpose Only

CashYield ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our") is designed and operated exclusively as an educational and informational resource for individuals interested in learning about dividend investing strategies. The Platform provides hypothetical portfolio scenarios, yield calculations, and income projections for educational illustration purposes only.

Nothing on CashYield — including but not limited to portfolio recommendations, dividend yield data, scoring algorithms, income projections, risk assessments, or written content — constitutes, should be construed as, or is intended to be:

2. SEC and Regulatory Notice

The Platform operates solely as a financial education and research tool. Users should not rely on CashYield as a substitute for qualified professional financial, legal, or tax advice.

3. Hypothetical Performance & Projections

All portfolio projections, income estimates, dividend yield figures, dividend growth rates, and other forward-looking calculations displayed on CashYield are entirely hypothetical and are provided for illustrative and educational purposes only.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance results, hypothetical results do not represent actual trading. They cannot fully account for the impact of financial risk, cannot guarantee that any particular investment approach would have achieved similar results, and do not consider brokerage commissions, taxes, or other transaction costs.

Past performance of any security, dividend payment history, or illustrated investment strategy does not guarantee or predict future results.

4. Investment Risk Disclosure

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The following risks apply to dividend investing and should be carefully considered:

Dividend risk: Companies may reduce, suspend, or eliminate dividend payments at any time without notice. Dividend yield is not guaranteed income.

Market risk: The market value of securities fluctuates. You may receive back less than you invest. High-yield securities often carry higher risk of capital loss.

ETF and fund risk: ETFs are subject to market risk and may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. Covered-call ETFs (such as QYLD, XYLD, JEPI) may underperform in rising markets and do not provide full upside participation.

REIT risk: Real Estate Investment Trusts are subject to real estate market conditions, interest rate risk, and regulatory changes specific to the real estate sector.

BDC risk: Business Development Companies invest in smaller, often less liquid companies and carry credit risk, leverage risk, and concentration risk.

Interest rate risk: Rising interest rates may reduce the attractiveness and market price of dividend-paying securities.

Inflation risk: Inflation may erode the real purchasing power of dividend income over time.

5. No Personalized Advice

CashYield does not know your personal financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax situation, or other circumstances relevant to investment decisions. The Platform cannot and does not provide advice tailored to your individual needs. Before making any investment decision, you should consult with a qualified, licensed financial advisor, tax professional, and/or attorney.

6. Data Accuracy

Dividend yield data displayed on CashYield is sourced from third-party providers including Polygon.io. While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information, we do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data displayed. Data errors, delays, or omissions may occur. Users should independently verify all financial data before making investment decisions.

7. Third-Party Content

CashYield may reference specific securities, ETFs, stocks, or funds for educational illustration purposes. These references do not constitute endorsements, recommendations, or investment advice regarding those securities. All mentioned securities involve risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CASHYIELD, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY INVESTMENT DECISIONS MADE BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9. Seek Professional Advice

We strongly encourage all users to work with licensed professionals before making any investment decisions:
