If I were an investor in your company I would be very alarmed that you were wasting your time and mental energy on this. The goal of that 2-3M investment is presumably to be used in growing your business to produce a 10x+ return - that is 1000.00%+. Not running some bizarre risk free hedge fund where you are trying to squeak out an extra 0.10%. If you really think this is the highest ROI use of your time, effort, and energy, it would be better to liquidate the company and return remaining funds to investors.

This sounds a lot like what I do with my personal finances and really doesn't take that much overhead and isn't all that complicated. Overall maybe it would take ~4-8 hours to set up all in?

If you are leaving 2M in cash in your checking account and could make an extra 2% on it annually that is 40k for that 4-8 hours. It seems like some pretty low hanging fruit to me.

I understand the point that you are making though. Unless what you pitched to your investors was some sort of investment vehicle it probably doesn't make sense to invest a lot of time trying to beat the market.
