Overview
Users deposit into Vaults and hold Shares to participate in structured strategies. Each Vault may have its own strategy, parameters, accounting rules, fee structure, lock-up conditions, and redeem logic.- Each Vault operates independently
- Capital is deployed according to a Vault-specific strategy
- Shares represent participation in a specific Vault
- Share Price may change over time
- Rewards may be credited to USD Balance, depending on the Vault structure
- Returns are not fixed and may vary depending on Vault performance, market conditions, fees, and redeem timing
Key Characteristics
Strategy-Based Allocation
Each Vault is tied to a specific strategy or strategy group. Examples may include:- Market-neutral strategies

Vaults do not share performance by default.- Performance is tracked per Vault
- Gains or losses are generally isolated by Vault
- Users choose exposure individually
- Vault parameters may differ across Vaults

Share-Based System
Vaults use Share-based accounting.- A deposit may be converted into Shares

The way performance is reflected may differ by Vault. Some Vaults may primarily reflect performance through Share Price movements, while others may also credit periodic Rewards to USD Balance.

Capital Flow (Simplified)
The following illustrates a simplified Vault flow. Actual flows may differ depending on the Vault structure.Example Vault (Illustrative)
The following is a simplified example for illustration purposes only. It does not represent guaranteed terms, fixed returns, or the exact structure of any specific Vault. Actual Vault parameters may vary and are subject to change.
Sample Parameters
Share-Based Structure

Example Calculation: Share Price Movement
The following example shows how Share Price movement may affect a user’s estimated Vault position value.Initial State
