Methodology
Data sources
INVERZA obtains its data exclusively from official and public sources. We do not generate, estimate, or modify the reported rates.
United States
- FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data): API from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. We obtain Treasury yields (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 2Y, 5Y, 10Y, 30Y) and Federal Funds Rate.
- TreasuryDirect: U.S. Department of the Treasury API.
- Official websites: HYSAs (Marcus, Ally, Wealthfront, SoFi) and CDs rates are sourced directly from their official websites.
Update process
- Daily fetch: An automated process (cron) queries the APIs every day at 6:00 AM CST.
- Validation: Each value is validated within the 0-100% range and its numeric format is verified.
- Integrity hash: A SHA-256 hash of the raw response is calculated to detect changes and ensure integrity.
- History: Each query is stored as a snapshot, allowing you to see the history of changes for each rate.
- Alerts: If a rate changes significantly or the fetch fails, an alert is generated.
Simulator
The simulator calculates estimated returns based on the most recent rates. It offers two modes:
- Simple simulation: Calculates the return for a given amount and term on a specific product.
- Smart dispersion: Automatically distributes your capital across multiple products to maximize returns, respecting each product's limits (tiered rates).
Calculation uses simple return: Capital x (Rate/100) x (Days/365). Results are estimates and do not guarantee future returns.
