Who makes this, and why you might trust it

You are being asked to take financial information from a website. This page tells you who is behind it, how it is paid for, and what it will never do, so you can judge that properly.

Why this exists

Most people in India who start investing learn from three places: a friend, a tip group, and short videos. All three skip the same thing, which is the reasoning. You are told what to buy and never why, so when the price falls you have no basis for any decision.

The material that does explain reasoning tends to assume you already know the vocabulary. It uses words like valuation, free cash flow and asset allocation without stopping, which quietly excludes exactly the people who need it most.

AlphaVik is an attempt at the unglamorous middle: explain the words, explain the reasoning, and be honest about what nobody knows.

How it is funded

Today, it is not. There is no advertising on this site, no sponsored content, no affiliate links and no referral commissions. When a broker or a fund house is named, it is as an example and no money changes hands.

This matters because it removes a specific conflict. A site funded by broker referrals has a reason to encourage you to open accounts and to trade. A site funded by fund commissions has a reason to prefer regular plans over direct ones. Neither incentive exists here, which is why the lessons can say plainly that most people should buy an index fund and trade less.

A paid product is planned. It would cover portfolio features, not the educational content. The lessons, glossary, FAQ and blog stay free permanently and will not move behind a paywall.

What is published here, and by whom

Everything on this site is written and edited in house. There is no guest posting, no syndicated content and no automatically generated articles published without review.

Every lesson and article carries the date it was last checked and, where it states a tax rate or a regulation, a list of the sources it relied on. How that process works is set out in the editorial policy.

What AlphaVik will never do

  • Promise a return, guarantee a price, or describe anything about the future as certain.
  • Take payment to feature, recommend or rank a broker, fund or company.
  • Publish a view on an investment without the reasoning, the risks and the conditions that would change it.
  • Place an order, hold your money, or ask for a credential that would allow either.
  • Put the educational content behind a paywall.
Not available yet. Investment views, ratings and allocation suggestions are built but switched off. They stay off until the relevant compliance clearance is complete in India. Nothing on this page is available today.

Common questions

Who is behind AlphaVik?
AlphaVik is an independent investor education project based in India. It is not owned by a broker, an asset management company or a distributor, and it has no commercial relationship with any of them.
How does AlphaVik make money?
Today it does not. Nothing on the site is paid for, there is no advertising, and there are no affiliate links or referral commissions. A paid product is planned to cover portfolio features, not the educational content, which stays free.
Does AlphaVik take money from brokers or fund houses?
No. There are no affiliate arrangements, referral fees, sponsored placements or paid mentions anywhere on this site. Where a broker or fund house is named, it is as an example, not a recommendation, and no money changes hands.
Is AlphaVik registered with SEBI?
The educational content published here does not require registration. AlphaVik is not a registered investment adviser or research analyst, does not manage money and does not provide advice tailored to your circumstances. Capabilities that could require registration are built but switched off pending clearance.
