The Service includes features such as: fund screening and filtering tools, personal portfolio tracking, watchlist management, and automated daily data updates on market days. Access requires a registered account and, following any free trial period, a paid subscription.

  • Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials;
  • Notify us immediately at JDTinvestLLC@gmail.com upon any unauthorized use of your account;

Account credentials are personal and non-transferable. You may not create an account on behalf of another person without their consent. JDT reserves the right to refuse registration or cancel accounts at its sole discretion.

Access to the Service may require a paid subscription. New accounts may be eligible for a limited free trial period as specified at the time of registration. After the trial expires, continued access requires a valid, active subscription.

Each account is licensed for use on one device at a time. The Service uses browser-based device fingerprinting to identify and associate accounts with a registered device. By creating an account, you consent to this device identification process for account security purposes.

The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account suspension:

  • Sharing your login credentials with any other person;
  • Accessing your account from a device other than your registered device without prior authorization from JDT;
  • Circumventing or attempting to bypass device restriction measures.

Suspended accounts are not eligible for refunds. If you believe your account was suspended in error, contact us at JDTinvestLLC@gmail.com.

Nothing on the Service constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Data, analytics, ratings, and screener outputs are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They should not be construed as a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security.

Before making any investment decision, consult a licensed financial professional who understands your individual financial situation and objectives. Past performance of any fund is not indicative of future results.

  • Data may be subject to delays, errors, or omissions;
  • NAV and pricing data may not reflect real-time market conditions;
  • Distribution data and ex-dates are provided as reported and may differ from official fund announcements;
  • JDT is not responsible for investment decisions made based on data presented on the Service.

Always verify critical financial data with official fund documents, your broker, or official fund websites before relying on it for investment decisions.
