While browsing articles inside of the app you’ll see a triangular flag next to every article. These “flags” represent the source of the content. There are 4 different types of content flagged throughout the app experience.
“App Exclusive” – This is content written by the Trusts & Estates staff that is produced exclusively for the app and will not be seen anywhere else.
“Trusts & Estates” – This is the content that comes from the Trusts & Estates editorial and advisory board and can be found in the monthly magazine, online as premium content on WealthMangement.com, or in one of the newsletters from Trusts & Estates.
“The Plus Network” – These are stories that come from one of currently 70 industry sources that has been hand selected by an editor at Trusts & Estates.
“Sponsored” – This is content written or produced by an outside contributor. These are whitepapers, webinars and videos to name a few.
