As an Investor you can invest in one of the Iconomi funds as you mentioned or invest in the Inchain DAO. To simplify the case, let's say they perform equally.
Yes, let's consider the above situation with the numbers from my market analysis.
1. Some 'outer' fund. ROI = 10%. Investor profit:
- 10%Investor initial deposit:
- 100% (Investor has his initial deposit in full)
Waiting time:
- 1 yearRisks:
- fund operator failure (due to the wrong team actions, etc.)- fund management risks2. Inchain ICO. Inchain DAO ROI = 10%.Investor profit:
- 10% Investor has up to 12% profit max. (operational and other expenses are not included). Let's assume DAO voted for 10% dividends.
Will be
less than 10% if the ICO will have more than $1.75M.
Investor initial deposit:
- Unknown. Depends on the token priceWaiting time:
- at least 1.5 years, maybe more. Usually the real project release dates are shifted compared to the timeline.
Risks:
- InChain failure (due to the wrong team actions, etc.)
- fund management risks
- business model risks (market not reached, could not sell enough insurances, etc.)
- project not released
- Ethereum network risks
- Law risks
- etc.3. Own fund with the same portfolio as the InChain DAOInvestor profit:
- 10% Investor initial deposit:
- 100% (Investor has his initial deposit in full)
Waiting time:
- 1 yearRisks:
- fund management risksIt's evident the options 1 and 3 are much more safer alternatives. The cost of taking all the risks from the 'Inchain ICO' is 2% max! At the same time, that additional 2% profit is not guaranteed.
I do not take into account the token price change. It is a speculative profit that is not considered by me as an investment profit. The price can be lower or higher than the initial deposit. I'm interested in a relatively stable and long-term income. If I sell my tokens part I lose my further profits part so the token price change is not profitable for me in the long-term. This is my personal approach to the investments.
Nowadays anyone can create a crypto assets fund and issue his own tokens. For example, such a fund can duplicate the InChain DAO fund structure. Investment in this fund can be more safer than the InChain ICO investment (not considering speculations).
