Yago Arbeola (CEO of Sync) releases this information in his blog and from the comments of important domainers and businessmen such as Eneko Knorr, Axel Serena or Carlos Blanco, it seems the idea has been well received.
Juan Pablo Sueiro amplifies the idea and many doubts and questions spring up in my mind.
It is clear that the idea of creating an investment fund in premium domain names is very interesting and could be a huge success as a business, but due to legal issues I’m not sure if it is feasible. If it has to do with a big number of investors contributing money to a fund for the purchase of domain names, it has to be controlled in some way by some competent authority, or it could have important legal problems.
To do it legally, would it be necessary to create an investment fund like the banks do? Would it be necessary to create a SICAV (controlling entity of institutions of collective investment)? Is it possible to do it simply with an SA (public limited company)?
I suppose that if the investors throw in a good amount of money to start with, all these issues can be settled hiring experts in the field, but for people (like me) who don’t dominate these things, it could be an important obstacle
