Ocentralized management. These four attributes provide substantial benefit for investors, including

the ability to diversify their investment among many uncorrelated returns—

a very valuable tool explored in later chapters. Also, these attributes allow investors to quickly exit,

However, these positive aspects also introduce substantial negative externalities as well. The sep
