Whether you are new to the site or returning after a break, this page collects the questions readers ask most often about navigating the guides, finding the right article, and getting in touch with the editorial team.
How do I find a guide that matches my experience level?
Start on the Guides page and look at the difficulty tag under each title. Beginner pieces explain terms like index fund, expense ratio, and asset allocation from scratch. Advanced guides assume you already know how to read a fund prospectus and focus on portfolio construction, tax efficiency, and rebalancing schedules. If you are unsure, begin with the three-part series on dollar-cost averaging and bond ladders.
Can I read the articles without creating an account?
Yes. Every article, guide, and FAQ page on Finwise is free to read without registration. We do not require an account to view content, and we do not gate articles behind a paywall. If you want to save articles for later, you can bookmark them in your browser or print them as PDFs directly from the page.
How often is the news section updated?
The news section is refreshed weekly, usually on Tuesday and Thursday mornings Australian time. Each update covers market movements, regulatory changes, and fund announcements that affect long-term investors. Older articles remain visible in the archive so you can trace how a topic developed over time.
What should I do if I spot an error in an article?
Use the contact form and mention the article title and the section where you found the mistake. The editorial team reviews every correction within five working days. If the error affects a calculation or a factual claim, we add a correction note at the top of the article so other readers are not misled.
Does Finwise provide personal financial advice?
No. Finwise is an educational portal. The articles explain concepts, compare strategies, and describe how different products work, but they do not recommend specific investments for your personal situation. For advice tailored to your income, goals, and risk tolerance, you should speak with a licensed financial adviser. Our FAQ page has more detail on this distinction.
How can I suggest a topic for a future article?
Send your suggestion through the contact page with the subject line "Topic suggestion." Include a sentence or two about what you want to understand better, such as how capital gains tax applies to ETF sales or how to compare superannuation funds. The editorial team reviews suggestions monthly and prioritizes topics that come up repeatedly.
