Third Party Provided Content. Current market data including delayed stock prices and certain mutual fund prices may be provided by MarkIt On Demand, CBOE, Morningstar, BusinessWire, and NewPort. Historical information is supplied by Iverson Financial Systems. Daily updates of delayed quotes are subject to market fluctuations and are based on the latest quotes received from third-party data contributors and are subject to a 15 or 20 minute delay. Market quotes and certain other information on this Site, as well as reference materials or links to other sites, are for general informational purposes only, and are not intended to be relied upon as investment advice.

The One-Click Scorecard feature on the Site allows users to analyze securities of their choosing according to securities evaluation approaches developed by a number of outside experts (the "expert approaches"). The expert approaches are made available to users to allow them to conduct research about securities under various investment approaches and do not produce results that are personalized to the individual investment needs of any particular user. In addition, these results are not intended, and should not be viewed, as providing investment advice that the purchase or sale of a particular security is appropriate or suitable for the user. The expert approaches are based on strategies that have been developed solely by the respective outside experts, and Quicken does not monitor, review, or otherwise endorse any expert approach or the use of it by a user.
