Constitute
The verb you use when “to be” — the foundational verb of the English language — the very bedrock from which Descartes derived our existence as intellectual beings — won’t do.
Usage: if you really feel the need to state the negative, and something like “this is not financial advice” seems insufficiently portentous, try “this material does not constitute financial advice.”
