About Genesis
What differentiates Genesis Global Partners Holdings from other private equity funds?+
Genesis is not a traditional private equity fund. We are a private, customizable hedge fund focused on liquid public markets, primarily U.S. exchange-traded equities, complemented by options, futures, and select currency strategies. Three things set us apart: a co-founder-led team that takes personal responsibility for every position, an AI-enhanced trading framework with full human oversight, and the Avestor Customizable Fund® platform, which lets each investor build a personalized portfolio inside one fund structure with a single consolidated K-1.
What sectors does Genesis Global Partners Holdings focus on?+
Genesis is sector-agnostic and opportunity-driven within liquid U.S. public markets. Capital is primarily deployed into publicly traded equities, with secondary exposure to options, futures, and foreign exchange. The strategy actively rotates across sectors based on signal quality, liquidity, and risk-reward. We do not invest in cryptocurrency.
How is Genesis structured?+
Genesis Global Partners Holdings LLC is a Delaware limited liability company offered under Regulation D, Rule 506(c), relying on the 3(c)(1) exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund is managed by Genesis Global Partners Management LLC, led by co-founders Richard Ciciarelli and Vincent D. Gowans.
Eligibility & Access
Can non-accredited investors invest with Genesis Global Partners Holdings?+
No. Because Genesis is offered under Regulation D, Rule 506(c), participation is limited to accredited investors only, as defined under SEC Rule 501. Accreditation is verified through documented procedures before any subscription is accepted. We are unable to accept capital from non-accredited individuals or entities.
What is the minimum investment in the Genesis Global Partners Holdings fund?+
The initial minimum allocation is $100,000 per investor, applicable to either fund structure (Hedge Fund I Compounding or Hedge Fund II Cash Flow).
Who typically invests with Genesis?+
Genesis serves accredited investors, faith-based organizations, non-profits, and values-driven companies seeking a sophisticated, actively managed allocation. Our investors generally value process, transparency, and direct access to the people running the capital.
Are there restrictions beyond accreditation?+
Yes. Beyond accreditation, we evaluate fit. Our mandate suits certain objectives and not others, and we are direct about that during initial conversations.
Strategy & Funds
What does the strategy invest in?+
Capital is primarily deployed into publicly traded U.S. equities, with secondary exposure to options, futures, and foreign exchange markets, excluding cryptocurrency. Mutual funds and ETFs may be used where appropriate. The framework is multi-layered and AI-enhanced, with all execution decisions retained by experienced managers.
What is the difference between Hedge Fund I and Hedge Fund II?+
Hedge Fund I (Compounding) automatically reinvests all earnings and compounds weekly. It is designed for long-term wealth building. Hedge Fund II (Cash Flow) is non-compounding and targets weekly cash distributions from invested capital. Annual gains will be lower than Hedge Fund I due to the non-compounding nature.
What are the target returns?+
Targeted annual returns are 23% to 46%. These are objectives, not guarantees. Actual results depend on market conditions, investor selection, and the strategy's positioning at the time. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Liquidity & Hold Time
What is the typical hold time for the Genesis Global Partners fund?+
Genesis is structured for long-term, committed capital. A 12-month lock-up applies from the date capital is accepted. After the lock-up, structured liquidity windows are available, as detailed in the Private Placement Memorandum. Hedge Fund II distributions can be withdrawn on a defined cadence; Hedge Fund I reinvests all earnings until the investor elects to redeem.
How are distributions paid?+
Hedge Fund II (Cash Flow) targets weekly distributions paid from invested capital. Hedge Fund I (Compounding) reinvests earnings inside the fund until redemption.
Can I withdraw early?+
Capital is locked for the first 12 months. After the lock-up, redemptions are processed through the structured liquidity windows defined in the offering documents.
Fees & Reporting
How are fees structured?+
The fee structure is intentionally simple and weighted toward profit sharing. Due Diligence Fee: 1% of contributions, one-time. Annual Service Fee: 1% of AUM, charged each January. Fund Expenses: 2% of distributions, covering ongoing operating costs. Profit Split: 50/50 between investors and the manager. Because the 2% expense allocation sits with the manager, statements reflect a 51/49 split in the manager's favor.
How often will I receive reporting?+
Investors receive formal quarterly reporting and a single consolidated K-1 at year end through the Avestor platform. Direct access to the co-founders is available for additional context as needed.
Where are fund assets held?+
Assets are held in manager-controlled brokerage accounts at TradeStation, Tradovate, and Forex.com, where the fund has full trading authority. Custody sits with regulated U.S. brokers, never the manager personally.
Risk & Onboarding
What are the primary risks?+
Investing with Genesis involves higher risk, limited liquidity, and the potential loss of the entire investment. Suitability is intended for investors who can tolerate higher risk, accept a 12-month lock-up, and commit capital for the long term. All risks are fully described in the Private Placement Memorandum, Company Agreement, and Individual Investment Disclosures.
How do I begin the process?+
The first step is a private conversation with the co-founders. From there, we proceed to accreditation verification, review of the Private Placement Memorandum and Company Agreement, and subscription if there is mutual fit. We respond personally to every inquiry within two business days.
Should I consult an advisor before investing?+
Yes. All terms, fees, and risks should be carefully reviewed with independent legal, tax, and financial advisors before investing.
If your question isn't answered here, ask it directly.
A co-founder is best placed to address it in conversation.
