1. Hi, what is your name and your site url?My name is Mark Stelvio and I am the managing director of
Genius Investments Limited. Genius Investments Limited owns and operates
www.geniusfunds.com 2.) Why do you start an investment program? Is it your first time being an administrator of such a program? We are here to help every potential client who invests with us realize their long and short term financial goals. After all, your success is our success. Genius Funds always focuses on the end result – stable and high profits with the lowest possible risk. We will do our best to make sure we meet your expectations and goals.
3.) What type of payment processors do you accept and do you plan to accept more payment processors in the future? We currently accept Liberty Reserve and bank wire transfers only. We plan to introduce more payment systems in the future. I do not want to reveal their names before we actually implement them, but I can say with confidence that at least one of them will be accepting ACH deposits.
4.) How confident are you with your site security level? Our system is designed using advanced enterprise-level system architecture. Our servers are located in highly secure data centers and our IT managers perform regular backups and security checks on all servers that contain sensitive financial information. In order to have the best security measures we also went through the scrupulous process of our company verification and received an EV SSL certificate. Not only it confirms our identity to visitors but it also allows us to encrypt customer's information using state of the art 256-bit encryption. We employ enterprise-level DDOS attack protection service. The service adds several thousand dollars to our fixed costs, but accessibility of our web site is very important for our operations and we must therefore strive to achieve minimum downtimes.
5.) What are your plans for the future and how long do you think you will stay online? We are a solid investment firm that generates income for its clients from real investments on wide range of security, commodity and bond markets. We are not planning to seize operations in the future, instead, we are planning to expand and offer new investment products to our customers. As a proof of this, we have just finished implementing Chinese localization of our website. We are also planning to implement Indonesian localization in the nearest future.
6.) Do you have any phone support other than email support? Our telephone system operates 24/7 with two access numbers, one in London, UK and one in Shanghai, China. You can speak with a live operator 8am-6pm CET. Operators provide account support only. Telephone system provides automatic account information using your account number and TPIN outside business hours. We are also in the process of implementing a “Live Chat” system, which will become operational on October 10.
7.) How much can your members make from their investment and do they get paid daily, weekly or monthly? At the time we offer 3 investment products. The two main products are investment funds. Information on them can be found on our website. They target investors that are looking for long-term commitment with a higher than average income. No-sale (investment term) period on shares is from 150 to 180 days from purchase and income ranges from 5 to 9 percent per week. Income is paid daily on one fund and weekly on the other. It can be withdrawn at any time or reinvested (compounded) per customer's request. After the end of the investment term, investors can either sell shares back to us at their original price ($1.00 per share) or keep the shares and earn dividend income for as long as they prefer. The third investment product is our Genius CD Account. It targets investors who are looking for a medium-income, short-term investment. The term of the investment is three months and the interest is fixed at 6% per month, 18% per term.
8.) Do you offer any referral commission and can members open more than 1 account? Members can open more than one account. We allow this because some investors prefer to have separate accounts for their family members or friends. We offer a competitive referral program that pays 6% for referral of a customer that purchases shares in an investment fund and 3% for referral of a customer that invests into our Genius CD account. We also offer dealership positions. For more information about our dealership program, applicants should contact Robin Douglas at
[email protected] 9.) What are your current advertising strategies? Are you planning any aggressive advertising campaign soon? The strategy behind the campaign is to demonstrate that Genius Funds is an investment firm that can help clients earn stable and high income without undertaking serious financial risks. We plan to launch a new advertising campaign in the middle of February 2009, using a more modern approach. Certain key elements of our current campaign will continue to be used. The new approach will also take place outside HYIP-related sites. We plan to cover online newspapers, investment forums and search engines. This will be done to give our company wider exposure.
10.) Do you have a physical office/address for your program/company or do you operate from home? We are located at 6 Karaiskakis Street, Limassol in the republic of Cyprus. It is a physical location.
11.) Lastly, in less than 50 words, briefly describe what can your program give to your investors?Genius Investments goes an extra mile to bring the best out of world's investment opportunities to the common investor. Most of these opportunities are otherwise available only to either full-time professionals or investors with a very high net worth.
