There is word in the town that a certain Ponzi scheme called Pennywise Wealth Management or Pennywise Investment has eventually collapsed.
There are no information as to how much Pennywise Investment victims have lost to the scam but an analyst who is conversant with the scheme said several millions of dollars was stolen by the scammers.
Last month, we did a warning article about why Pennywise Investment is a mere Ponzi scam packaged as an investment company growing profits for its investors.
See below the warning:
Under the name Pennywise Wealth Management, Pennywise Investment is another Ponzi scam that could collapse anytime from now.
On its website ‘pennywisewealthmanagement.com’ which is a copycat of Pennywise in Australia, promoters of the scheme who are not known publicly said:
“We build Wealth through the stock market, real estates, digital market, Gold mining, investments in shares of company stock, Hard Currency exchanges, Crude Oil, Metals, Energy, Agriculture and turn this assets into cash. At Pennywise Wealth Management our experts gets into more details trading process in the open market for ready.”
Just like any Ponzi scheme is often disguised in bogus promises, the promoters went on to claim that:
“ypical investment management companies are owned by outside stockholders. These companies have to charge fees to pay their owners, which can reduce investors’ returns.
At Penny Wise there are no outside owners, and therefore, no conflicting loyalties. The company is owned by its funds, which in turn are owned by their shareholders—including you, if you’re a Penny Wise investor. Our unique client-owned structure allows us to return profits to our investors in the form of lower expenses. Low costs helps our clients keep more of their returns, which can help them earn more money over time investing with Pennywise Wealth Management.
In other words, Penny Wise is structured as a “mutual” mutual fund company. Our interests are completely aligned with those of our clients. We never have to weigh what’s best for clients against what’s best for the company, because they are one and the same.
Investors around the world can benefit from the result: stability, transparency, long-term perspective, rigorous risk management, low costs, and a bedrock commitment to their best interests. No wonder our clients have proven to be extraordinarily loyal.

While we are not investment advisors, there are basic requirements you must see before entrusting your monies with any company. Pennywise Investment is not just fake but a Ponzi scam. This is because they are not registered as either an asset management company or securities broker by the Securities and exchange commission.
On scam adviser, a website used to review the genuineness of websites offering financial products, Pennywise Investment is already being called as a scam.
A review conversation with two visitors goes thus:
Julius Solomon complained that “pennywise is not legit, founder’s can’t be contacted, they don’t have traceable admin yet they claimed to help people invest and they promise 2% return per day.”
Albert Kwame Akable: You are right my brother… They will be paying in the beginning of their business, they have calculated steps and if they get their target, the site will go off and the new people who invested will be in total loss. They don’t usually show their true identity. After they are gone, they will repackage themselves as a different company and repeat the same plan .so BEWARE!,” he said.
In the last four years, we have written several articles and reviews to educate our readers and the public in general on the dangers of investing their monies with these types of scams.
