Welcome to Motley Fool Everlasting Portfolio (the "Service"). This page sets forth the special Terms and Conditions by which The Motley Fool provides you with access to the Service (the "Terms"). It supplements the Fool's Rules (our standard terms and conditions), which are incorporated by reference. By subscribing to, and using the Service you are agreeing to abide by these Terms as well as the Fool's Rules INCLUDING THE BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER DETAILED IN SECTION 13 OF THE FOOL’S RULES.

Motley Fool Everlasting Portfolio

The Service is composed of real-money investments and is not an actively managed portfolio. The Everlasting Portfolio is funded by The Motley Fool, LLC on a quarterly basis and consequently, any realized gains or losses will belong to The Motley Fool. The Everlasting Portfolio will only contain long positions, and we plan on holding all positions for a minimum of 5 years from their initial purchase date. Special circumstances, like an acquisition or delisting, may require the sale of a position before 5 years have passed. When that happens, we will give guidance to all current members in advance of any action by the portfolio.

The Motley Fool strives to operate with the highest level of integrity and to treat everyone — our customers, employees and community — fairly. With that in mind, we’ve put in place guidelines for our trading in the Everlasting Portfolio. These rules are in addition to our standard trading rules. They include:

  • The Everlasting Portfolio is committed to making its transaction at the first available time compliant with our trading rules, but not less than 24 hours after the time the trade alert has been published.
  • If a Motley Fool Service has issued an Intent or Alert to trade, The Everlasting Portfolio will refrain from issuing its trade alert in the security for 24 hours.

From time to time, other features may be added or removed without notice. Special features, exclusive reports and other content may be made available to members of The Everlasting Portfolio.

All services and features provided by Everlasting Portfolio are provided “AS IS.” The Fool assumes no responsibility for the timeliness or delivery of any content or the deletion or failure to store any personalized or customized settings.

Please note there may be occasions where The Everlasting Portfolio takes a position with respect to a security that is counter to that of another Fool Premium Service. Another affiliate of The Motley Fool provides investment products that may hold securities mentioned in our publications. Editorial personnel have no nonpublic knowledge of the affiliate's holdings, and the affiliate's personnel have no knowledge of any editorial content before it is published.

The Everlasting Portfolio bases its actions and forecasts on techniques, information and sources believed to be reliable in the past and cannot guarantee future accuracy and results. The Motley Fool is a company of investors writing for investors and as such, the writers (and/or the company) may own stocks mentioned by The Everlasting Portfolio. For more information about writer disclosure, as well as a list of places where you can view stocks our writers and analysts own, see our disclosure policy.

A Word of Caution

As stated above, the Service may use a mix of investing strategies within the portfolio. Regardless of the action taken by the Service, it is in the capacity of a responsible investor and not a speculator. That doesn't mean our trades will always turn out to be winners. It means that we have done our best to do our homework and consider the inherent risks before pledging our money. We urge you to do the same.

We want to help you make money. We also want to provide you with a more enriching and useful experience along the way. So while we may ask you a few questions to help direct you to portfolios and other content we think may interest you, The Motley Fool is not in the business of rendering personalized or individualized investment advice. We don't (and can't) know your financial situation, risk tolerances, or investing objectives. Accordingly, the information provided along with the decisions made and actions taken by the Service do not constitute a recommendation that a particular portfolio, security, strategy or action taken is suitable for you, or any specific person for that matter.

The Service bases its recommendations and forecasts on techniques, information and sources believed to be reliable in the past and cannot guarantee future accuracy and results. The Motley Fool and the writers will not be liable for any investment decision you make, or action you take based upon reliance of any material you read here. The Motley Fool is a company of investors writing for investors and as such, the writers (and/or the company) may own stocks mentioned by the Service. For more information about writer disclosure, as well as a list of places where you can view stocks our writers and analysts own, see our disclosure policy.

Disclaimer of Warranties and Liabilities

Please remember that past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Although this is included in the Fool's Rules, it bears repeating (and capitalizing):

The Everlasting Portfolio Membership Fee; Terminating Your Membership.

You are responsible for the applicable membership fee as set forth on this site. If you are currently a subscriber to other Motley Fool services, those memberships are separate and subject to their own term. The fee does not include any charges you incur in accessing those Premium Services.

The Motley Fool reserves the right to increase The Everlasting Portfolio’s fees or institute new charges upon reasonable notice. Fees are due in advance. Unless otherwise explicitly noted at the time of ordering, your membership will automatically renew until you notify us of your decision to terminate your membership YOU ARE PROVIDING YOUR ELECTRONIC AUTHORIZATION FOR FUTURE CHARGES AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE UNLESS YOU CANCEL. Accordingly, you agree that your Everlasting Portfolio membership fee will be billed automatically at the beginning of each renewal period at the then-current rate to the credit card you used in your most recent transaction with us.

At our discretion, refunds may be offered in certain situations.

Yearly Subscriptions

You may cancel your Everlasting Portfolio subscription at any time, however, there are NO REFUNDS.

From time to time, promotions may be offered. If you purchase during a promotion, then the terms of that offer will be honored. Please note that any such promotions are available only to new, first time Everlasting Portfolio members. If you previously subscribed to The Everlasting Portfolio, cancelled and subsequently subscribe again, you will not receive a refund for any cancellations.

Credit Transfers

Some offers and terms may include a “satisfaction guarantee” that entitles you to transfer the fees paid for this subscription to a different Motley Fool service from a defined list. If your purchase included a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, you will have 30 days from the date of purchase to apply your full purchase price towards another portfolio-style service at The Motley Fool. Not all purchases or terms will include this guarantee.


If you are unsure whether or not your membership is eligible for a credit transfer please contact [email protected].


All credit must be swapped at the list price of the product being transferred into, and it cannot be combined with any promotional offers or discounts. Members may utilize any available swap or refund once per service. If you take advantage of a money-back guarantee or a credit-transfer guarantee into a new subscription, you will no longer be eligible to perform further action with that credit.

If you take advantage of a credit transfer guarantee, please also note that you will lose access to any product(s) and benefits included in the original promotional offer, including additional services or reports that were included as a bonus for taking advantage of the offer.

When implementing a credit transfer, the term length of the service being transferred into cannot extend beyond three years.

If the list price of the service you would like to transfer into is more than the amount of credit you have, you will receive a partial term of the service - the usual automatic renewal notice will be emailed one month prior to the adjusted end-date.

If the amount of credit you have is higher than the list price of the service you would like to transfer into, the subscription will be extended for the appropriate time frame to match the rate.

The Motley Fool reserves the right to disallow transfer into certain services depending on insufficient credit, product openings, investment timelines, a member’s history of transfers or prior refunds, or for any other reason at The Motley Fool’s sole discretion.
