The .investments Domain: An Address for Capital
.investments was recorded in the root zone on 17 April 2014; its ICANN registry agreement is dated 20 March 2014 and names Binky Moon, LLC as the contracting party. The nTLDstats page accessed on 12 August 2026 shows 9,683 registrations, 7,289 of them in the zone file. The operator verifies no authorisation at registration.
Portfolio managers, venture funds, property investment vehicles, family offices and investor relations pages use the ending. There is no eligibility condition, and the agreement also bars identity-based limits. Try candidates through an .investments domain search, and look at the .insure page on the insurance side.
Investment advice, portfolio management and public offerings require permission in most countries, and that permission arises from what you do, never from the address you register. This ending's agreement requires the registrant to comply with privacy, consumer protection and financial disclosure law, and to apply proportionate security measures where it holds sensitive financial data; the operator, however, verifies no licence at all. When you assess an investment invitation, search the regulator's register rather than reading the address. On your own page, state the licence number, the supervising authority and the risk warnings plainly.

.investments Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .investments domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .investments address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .investments domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $21.95 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .investments returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .investments Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No; the operator verifies no authorisation of any kind at registration.
Investment advice and portfolio management do require permission in most countries, and that permission arises from the activity itself. The ending grants no authority. If you hold a licence, put its number and the supervising authority on the page, because that makes verification easier for visitors.
-
The supervising authority, licence number, risk warnings, fee structure and periodic reports.
These five items shorten a visitor's decision more than anything else, and most pages scatter them. Date every document you publish: a stale report raises more questions than no report at all. Explaining the fee structure in sentences reads better than squeezing it into a table.
-
The address is no indicator of authority; verification happens in the regulator's register.
A page carrying this ending does not show that a licensed firm stands behind it. Search the company's legal name and licence number in the supervising authority's own list. You can also use whois search to see who holds the registration.
-
7,289 of 9,683 registrations appear in the zone file, roughly 75 percent.
One registered name in four has never gone live. Because the zone is small, single-word roots are not entirely exhausted either. Trying the brand-plus-asset-class pattern is the quickest route; sweep the list in one pass with bulk domain name search.
-
You can; the move runs on an authorisation code and no extra documents are requested.
The recurring problem in fund structures is a name sitting in a founding partner's personal account, so access becomes uncertain when the partnership changes. Confirm the current holder through whois search and move the contact address to a corporate one.
