this seems to be a product that greatly simplifies alt-coin investing and would also be appealing to larger investors who want exposure to various sectors of the alt-coin market without having to study it too in depth.

I think many have recognized the need for index funds. When the concept of a low volatility index fund was discussed we saw many advantages of it -

Value to the customers

Exposure to the best cryptocoins and assets without buying all of them.
MVI dynmically assigns greater weights to the more stable coins in time, averages volatility out in many assets.
Rebalancing sells high and buys low, and is proven to increase customers' value in volatile market.
Index fund saves cost and is well recognized to perform better than hand-picking assets (even by experts).

Value to the investors
The Fund can start small. Most work can be tried by human initially to gain operational knowledge. Automation costs but can be build gradually. Once the in frastructure is made the long-term operation is almost automated. The cost of managers, directors, signers, server renting, and tech support during operations is limited. The fee collected is unlimited.

More products can be added with little cost to cater different customer need.
