Yes, it is easy and instant, but when they post what they invest in and their index weights, it is pretty easy to copy and rebalance weekly. Wouldn't even have to figure out what to invest in on your own.
I definitely won't be pulling my existing money out of iconomi, but I may just use my poloniex account to diversify in the same manner they do. That said, there are a finite number of ICN tokens, and more are not being created, so I suppose it is possible the coins could be worth more than how well the fund does? Or is that not true?
You're right, with limited number and their own buybacks, the tokens might be bid up. I think you did well to wade in at the ICO to have a stake, but as you say, quite a few uncertainties. Who can even guarantee that their portfolilo allocation is superior? If there is a human factor involved, then the result might be similar to stocks, where over 90% active managers underperform the overall market...
