The Internet investment industry continues its pacing and brings more new companies, more new names, more personalities. And while there were, there are and there will further be multiple HYIPs and online investment projects, not all of them will be left in the minds of people. So, today we are talking about those firms that will ever be remembered by investors in different colors and with different attitudes: someone with hatred, someone with love, but the whole generations of the Internet users will be recollecting five grand programs which were Pathway-2-prosperity.net, Swisscash.net, A3Union.com, PanaMoney.com and GeniusFunds.com. In our today article we want to recall these industry players that allowed many people to make money online and earn incredibly high profits if considered from the point of average household.

 

 

P-2-P Network (further just P-2-P) was launched as a short-term investment program in February 2007. That was one of the favorite programs for online investors as it met many criteria of the serious HYIP business that Ecommerce Journal has already covered in previous posts dedicated to this subject. First of all, P-2-P offered real returns within very short running periods. P-2-P had four investment plans:

 

 

As we mentioned a realistic interest offered by an investment program is an interest that does not exceeds 4%. P-2-P proved itself as a pioneer in this aspect of the prosperous investment business.

 

P-2-P showed a very qualified approach creating its legend and business model description which persuaded many Internet users to invest ecurrency in this solid-looking project. P-2-P identified itself as a "private" investment program, investing in various online and offline activities that included bonds, IPOs, finance & property, private equity funds, forex, co-investing in direct investments and private placement investment funds etc. The project said at that time: “Profits from these investments are shared with Members and invested in stable long term investments, to guarantee our program's stability for the long term.”

 

 

P-2-P had been pleasing its online investors with good payouts and returns since its inception in early 2007 and up to its closure in 2008. Whatever circumstances accompanied the termination of P-2-P it did give many people an opportunity to make good money online.

 

 

Started in 2006 this investment project attracted customers with a well-prepared professional history compilation. Swisscash.net managed to present an impressive background story to its online investors, creating in their minds an image of an old long-existing company with a strong position in the market.

 

Swisscash.net posed itself as a new sector of Swiss Mutual Fund which was created after World War II in 1948 by the Cheviot family of France, with operations based in Berne, Switzerland.

 

The marketing strategy of the project was rather influential and effective: “Swisscash objective is to make ordinary people Swisscash Millionaire. If you want to invest in Swiss Mutual Fund directly, your min investment is $2,000,000 but with Swisscash, it's only $100 min. Think about it.”

Investment plans and the whole business model of Swisscash.net made an impression of a rich and wealthy company that is fully capable to payout big returns to its investors. With a minimum deposit of $100 (which is more than in an average investment program) Swisscash.net offered up to 300% earnings within up to 15 months term.

 

 

The deposit requirement itself in addition to high yields, long running term and solid background with a near 50 years history in the industry produced a strong effect on people’s perception. That was a real giant in the HYIP market that featured original approach in all areas: from the business model to the website design. People could see that Swisscash.net does have money if it can afford to pay for original style let alone interest returns.

 

 

A3Union was launched in July 2006 and according to the data provided by HYIP monitors the project existed for about 1,500 days. At that time A3Union was rated as a “very very very trusted investment website”. People did believe in this program because despite its rather modest design it worked stably and profitably which is the main point for any online investor.

 

A3Union described itself this way: “A3Union has developed own portfolio management, intranet and extranet systems which allow customer service communication to be among the best in this industry. The company financial analysis and investment team regularly develops innovative and unique solutions and structures for all customers’ needs. The company also monitors and reviews the current situation on the market in order to keep the assets generating the profit on daily basis.”

 

A3Union stated that its trading team managed over 10 portfolios on 5 global stocks and equity markets. HYIP monitors placed A3Union in the upper charts of their listings in some cases ranking it at the first place.

 

A3Union offered four investment plans:

 

 

Maximum profit generated in 2 days - 1.6%.

The principal is released in 2 days.

Possible profit losses - 0.3%

Minimum investment - $5

 

 

Guaranteed profit in 7 days - 12%.

Minimum investment - $25

The principal is released in 7 days.

 

 

Principal released in 14 Days.

Maximum profit generated in 14 days - 28%.

Possible profit losses - 6%

Minimum investment - $50

 

 

This portfolio guarantees the profit of 2.17% daily.

In total: 200% profit in 92 days.

 

All the programs in the portfolio feature well-planned financial scheme with reasonable interests, good terms and honest report of the possible losses. Besides, A3Union 100% guaranteed the payout of profits and principal deposits.

 

 

A3Union was a best opportunity for people to make money online. With few costs on the website design A3Union paid more attention to the business strategy and diversity of its investment products which highly credited to its reputation and popularity.

 

 

PanaMoney was one of the strongest ever investment programs that existed relatively longer than many other projects of this size. This HYIP was launched in the second half of 2008 and it managed to exist through early 2010.

 

Surely, it was a giant. Unlike many HYIPs PanaMoney offered its investors a portfolio of up to 8 investment plans:

 

 

 Understanding the hesitation that may be felt by some newcomers PanaMoney introduced a Trial plan specially for such customers with a short running term that would allow them to get a good idea of the profitability and reliability of the project while waiting not too long.

 

PanaMoney had a good and plausible professional background with a well-spoken history. It posed itself as a company that makes profits in trading using its own funds and exploiting the margins between the earnings received from forex trade and the maximum interest rates of various investment plans offered to clients.

 

Clients loved PanaMoney because apart from a plethora of investment plans, beautiful design of the website, user-friendly navigation, timely payouts, PanaMoney offered a wide range of deposit options allowing investors to fund their accounts via such ecurrencies as perfect money, liberty reserve, V-Money, StrictPay and Bank Wires as well.

 

 

HYIP monitors ranked PanaMoney at the top of their listings, it always came among the top three projects in the charts.

 

 

Genius Funds appeared at the scene of the investment market as a unique financial business in October 2008 and existed for a period of about 800 days. Its special investment products, serious approach to online transactions security, solid website and good teamwork brought a great success to Genius Funds.

 

At the time Genius Funds, which was supposedly owned by Genius Investments Limited and registered at 6 Karaiskakis Street, Limassol in the republic of Cyprus, offered two investment programs:

 

 

The portfolio looked different and while having only two products it feature more diversity than any other HYIP in the industry, because in one place people could select either daily returns or weekly returns plan.

 

Low percents set by Genius Funds suggested that the company has a professional view of the money markets and thus, takes into account all the factors. It calmed investors convincing them in the credibility and reliability of the project.

 

Genius Funds was among those high-profile HYIPs that didn’t grudge money for its website design and security of the transactions. It provided customers with a reliable 256-bit SSL connection and top qualified DDoS protection.

 

 

Along with PanaMoney investment program Genius Funds was on the listings top of almost all HYIP monitors. Money flowed like water to online investors, people had never been so happy and content with the profits they got as they were with Genius Funds.

 

 

While it is pitiful indeed that those great giants have been taken down by the time, and we will remember them with gratitude and delight, the time goes on and good places never stay vacant too long. Dying projects are replaced with new more qualified, more professional, more efficient ones.

 

Today we already have loads of projects that provide competitive investment services and products and prove themselves as reliable and paying. Among the best ones there are such names as Flamanta, ReProFinance, Panda Trade, Macro Trade, Fenix Trust, Safe Depositary, Investplatforms, Yama Finance, Orbis Trends.

 

HYIP industry is a place for bold and resolute people who is well aware of the risks involved and who understands that without efforts and hardships there won’t be any success and fortunes. Today HYIP market offers many opportunities for quick-witted acute players who can detect the right prospective investment project at early stages of its development. To date people continue making thousands of dollars with HYIPs but as in any other area you just need to be ready to risk.
