Conflicts of interest
Sideravia is built and run by one person. That's a real conflict of interest — he can act on names the model covers — so instead of asking you to just trust him, we constrain what he's allowed to do and publish the result.
1 · The policy
The founder may trade a covered security no earlier than the moment the model's action on it is made public — never before. If a name enters the ranked universe, a picks list, a model portfolio, or otherwise gets a published view from Sideravia, any personal trade in that name can only happen once that action is live on the site, at (or after) the price subscribers themselves could have seen. Trading ahead of a publication is not permitted, full stop.
Why this shape and not a blanket "no personal trading" ban or a disclosed-but-unrestricted approach: a pure disclosure tells you a conflict exists but does nothing to prevent front-running it; a total trading ban is unverifiable from the outside and just asks for trust again. Timestamp-gating the founder's own trades against our own public record turns the conflict into something you — or anyone — can actually check, not something you have to take our word for. We'd rather constrain the founder than ask you to trust him.
Three rules sharpen it further. The founder does not trade a covered name while an unpublished change to its rating or model membership is already known internally — not merely before publication, but from the moment the unreleased result exists. He does not trade in the moments immediately following a publication either; the wait runs to the end of the next normal trading session, so there is no race against the readers. And every personal trade in a covered name is logged when it happens, so the ordering can be reconstructed later rather than asserted.
One operational commitment follows from section 4: if the founder ever acquires a position in a covered security, that position is disclosed there before the trade is allowed to happen — never afterwards.
2 · No paid placement
Sideravia receives no payment from any issuer, broker, or third party to feature, rank, or recommend any security. No issuer or broker sees any content — a score, a verdict, a pick, a model-portfolio change — before it is published to everyone else. Rankings and verdicts are produced by the same deterministic rules for every name in the covered universe (see the methodology); nothing about them is for sale.
3 · What we are
Sideravia is a research publisher, not an adviser. We publish what the model concluded, when it concluded it, and the strongest argument against it — identically to everyone. We never learn an individual reader's circumstances, never assess suitability, and never make a personal recommendation to anyone. Nothing on this site is personalised, and using it does not create an advisory relationship. What you do with your own money is your own call.
4 · Live founder-holdings disclosure

This list shows ONLY the ticker, the company name, and the date the position first appeared in our own records — never share counts, cost basis, market value, weight, or portfolio total. Only names inside Sideravia's covered universe are shown; a holding outside the names we publish a view on is outside the scope of this disclosure and isn't listed. Updated daily.
The founder does keep a paper portfolio inside Sideravia to test the product and compare the model against real outcomes. Simulated positions carry no money and no financial interest, so they are not investment positions and are deliberately not reported here — listing them would state that the founder owns something he does not.
5 · Regulatory wording (pending counsel review)
Placeholder — not yet reviewed by counsel. The paragraph below states our policy and intent in plain language only. It is deliberately NOT a claim that any specific regulation (MAR, FinSA, or otherwise) has been satisfied, and it cites no regulation as complied with — that determination is pending specialist EU/Swiss counsel review (tracked internally; see docs/2026-08-12-narrative-and-compliance-posture.md). This section will be replaced with counsel-reviewed wording once that review is complete.
Sideravia intends for this policy, and its public disclosure, to address the conflicts a publisher of investment research can have with its own personal trading. We have not made, and do not make here, any representation that our practices meet the requirements of any specific law or regulation in any jurisdiction.
