MinMaxDoc Editorial Team

MinMaxDoc Insights is published and maintained by the MinMaxDoc team — the healthcare professionals and engineers who built the MinMaxDoc portfolio-optimization platform. We started MinMaxDoc to make honest, evidence-based financial education free for everyone, without the AUM fees or conflicts of interest that come with traditional advice.

How we produce these articles

Every article is grounded in primary sources and checked against our editorial standards — factual accuracy, clearly cited sources, and plain-English explanations — before it is published. The same evidence-based methods that power the product (mean-variance optimization, tax-aware lot management, and Monte Carlo analysis) inform how we write about investing.

Our editorial principles

Educational, not personalized advice. Our articles explain concepts and strategies; they are not individualized financial, tax, or investment advice.

No conflicts of interest. We do not charge AUM fees or earn commissions on the assets we discuss — MinMaxDoc is an educational platform, not a broker or an investment advisor.

We cite our sources. Where an article draws on data or research, we link to it so you can verify it yourself.

We correct mistakes. Spot an error? Email support@minmaxdoc.com and we will fix it.
