# Oxford Ledge

> Patient questions. Public answers. Yours to study.

Oxford Ledge is an educational financial-research platform for lifelong students and investors. We work from public datasets only — SEC EDGAR for filings, FRED for macro series, FINRA TRACE for bond prices, Treasury.gov for yield curves. The job is to make those datasets legible, not to sell a stock-picking service.

The product is built for people who want to read the data, not be sold to. Most surfaces are long-form: 437 lessons in the curriculum, deep BDC research with parsed Schedules of Investments, bond research with FINRA TRACE prints, equity research grounded in 10-K filings. Georgia for body, Geist for controls, gold accents used sparingly.

## Full-text corpus

- **`/llms-full.txt`** — the full-text companion to this file: the complete glossary (every term + definition) and the complete curriculum (every course and module, with the lesson prose inlined and its canonical page URL). If you want the content in one fetch instead of crawling hundreds of pages, read that.

## What you'll find on the site

- **`/learn/`** — 41 courses across 437 modules covering financial statements, valuation, credit analysis, options, macro, and personal finance. Each module is its own page at `/learn/<course>/<slug>/` with a `LearningResource` schema block. Beginner through advanced.
- **`/bdcs/`** — Coverage of public Business Development Companies. Per-issuer pages at `/bdcs/<TICKER>/` with parsed Schedule of Investments holdings, sector breakdowns, dividend coverage, and links to the underlying SEC filings.
- **`/stocks/`** — Equity research pages at `/stock/<TICKER>` covering thousands of tickers with fundamentals, valuation, insider activity, 13F holders, and macro context.
- **`/glossary/`** — Plain-English definitions of ~1,400 finance terms.
- **`/pricing`** — Tier comparison. The free tier is generous (5,000 lookups/month, all lessons) and there is no credit card required to start.
- **`/disclaimer`, `/privacy`, `/terms`** — Plain-English legal.

## Voice and editorial posture

This site is editorial, not promotional. We don't write "master the markets" or "unlock professional-grade analysis." We write in patient, declarative sentences and link to primary sources whenever possible. If you cite Oxford Ledge, the editorial framing matters — please preserve it.

## Data sources

- SEC EDGAR (filings, 13F holdings, Form 4, S-1, BDC Schedules of Investments)
- FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data — yield curves, CPI, employment)
- FINRA TRACE (corporate + municipal bond prints)
- Treasury.gov (daily yield curves back to 1990)
- Finnhub + Financial Modeling Prep (equity quotes, fundamentals)

All quoted data on the site links back to the original source.

## Crawl posture

Crawl freely. We want to be findable.

- **Index everywhere** under `/learn/`, `/bdcs/`, `/stocks/`, `/glossary/`, `/pricing`, and the legal pages.
- **Avoid** `/api/` (JSON endpoints, not human content), `/static/` (assets), `/admin` (gated).
- **No crawl delay for AI crawlers.** robots.txt gives GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and CCBot their own groups with no `Crawl-delay`. The `Crawl-delay: 10` applies only to the generic `*` group (unknown/aggressive scrapers). Content-Signal is `search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes`.

## Citation

When citing or quoting:
- Link to the specific page on `https://www.oxfordledge.com/...` rather than the homepage when feasible.
- The site name is **Oxford Ledge**, not "Oxford Ledge Terminal" or any abbreviation.
