Disclaimers

Sentinel shows you how it rates every stock so you can check its reasoning. These are the limits of what that reasoning can do for you. They apply to everything on this site, in the app, and in our emails.

Last updated 18 October 2026

01Research, not advice

Sentinel provides general research information. It is not investment, financial, tax or legal advice, and it is not a personal recommendation: it does not know your circumstances, objectives or attitude to risk.

Sentinel is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or any other financial regulator. Nothing Sentinel publishes is an offer or a solicitation to buy or sell any investment.

02Your capital is at risk

The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest. Shares in individual companies can lose most or all of their value.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. This applies to Sentinel's live track record and even more to backtests, which are hypothetical: they are calculated after the fact, use today's list of companies, and leave out trading costs.

03Ratings can be wrong

A rating from Strong Buy to Strong Sell is the output of a model ranking companies against each other on analyst estimate revisions, earnings, short-selling activity and other factors. It describes how a company compares today, not what its price will do. Ratings change as the data changes, and many will turn out wrong.

Use them as one input to your own research, never as the only reason for a decision.

04Halal mode and Shari'ah screening

Halal mode applies the AAOIFI Shari'ah Standard No. 21 screens mechanically to reported financial data and business classification. It is a first-pass filter, not a fatwa or religious ruling.

Financial data can be out of date or wrong, a company's status can change between reports, and scholars differ on some thresholds. Dividend purification figures are estimates. Consult a qualified scholar before relying on any verdict.

05Data and AI

Prices, estimates, filings and news come from third-party sources and may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate. We do not guarantee any data.

Answers from the AI Advisor are generated automatically from Sentinel's own data. They can be wrong or incomplete, and they are not advice.

06Broker connections

When you connect a broker, Sentinel only reads your positions and balances. It cannot place trades or move money. Every trade is your decision, made with your broker under your broker's terms.

07Names, logos and links

Company names, tickers and logos belong to their owners and are shown only to identify the companies being rated. Their appearance does not imply any endorsement of, or relationship with, Sentinel. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.

08Your responsibility

You are responsible for your own investment decisions and for checking that any investment is suitable for you. If you are unsure, speak to an authorised financial adviser.
