The infographic can be interpreted as the organizational structure of the Hedge DAO. Here’s a detailed explanation:

1. **Investors**: At the top of the DAO structure are the investors. These are the individuals or entities who hold tokens in the Hedge DAO. Their investment gives them the right to participate in the governance of the DAO, such as voting on proposals.
2. **Funds**: The DAO operates multiple funds, including the Boxwood Hedge Fund and the Hedge Northern Private Fund. These funds are managed autonomously according to pre-set rules encoded in smart contracts on the Polygon blockchain such as dividend frequency.
3. **Hedge Holdings**: This is the central entity in cooperation within the DAO. It manages the various funds and their investments as a brick-and-mortar business. The operations of Hedge Holdings are governed by the DAO’s members (i.e., the investors) through a system of decentralized governance.
4. **Investment Categories**: The DAO has diversified its investments into several categories, including stocks, real estate, rental vehicles, and businesses. Each category is managed by a professional or expert consultant who assists in working with RWAs within the guidelines of the DAO. These individuals can ensure any voting changes are implemented with RWAs.

In Hedge's DAO, all decisions are made through a consensus process, where token holders vote on proposals. This could include decisions about new investments, fund allocations, or changes to the DAO’s rules. The goal is to create a democratic organization that is transparent, resistant to censorship, and operates solely based on the rules encoded in its smart contracts.

Please note that while DAOs offer a unique and potentially transformative model of organization, they also come with risks and challenges. All investments come with risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results.&#x20;
