# Manage Your Position

A vault position needs no active management — you don't select strategies, rebalance, or track maturities. Managing a position means **monitoring its value and deciding when to add or withdraw**.

## The three numbers that matter

| What                                                                                                      | Where you see it                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Your Holdings** (vault page header)                                                                     | Your position in base-asset terms — the number to check day to day                                                                              |
| Share balance (the **yvJPYC** / **yvUSDFC** token in your wallet, and **From vault** on the Withdraw tab) | How many shares you hold. Constant unless you deposit or withdraw                                                                               |
| **Price Per Share** (the **Info** tab)                                                                    | What one share is worth. Yield shows up here — Your Holdings = share balance × Price Per Share ([how it's calculated](/sf-yield-vault/faqs.md)) |

Yield never arrives as separate tokens — it shows up entirely through the Price Per Share, which also means it compounds automatically.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Your share balance not changing is normal.** Growth (or loss) appears in the Price Per Share. Compare **Your Holdings** against what you deposited to see your actual performance — the app also shows vault APY over 7 days, 30 days, and since inception.
{% endhint %}

## Adding to your position

Deposit more into the same vault at any time. New shares are minted at the current Price Per Share; your existing shares are unaffected.

## Reducing or exiting

Withdraw any portion by redeeming shares — see [Withdraw assets](/sf-yield-vault/getting-started/withdrawing-assets.md). Common reasons to reduce: cutting exposure, reallocating capital, or the strategy's risk no longer fitting your preference. Vaults are designed for medium- to long-term participation rather than frequent in-and-out trading.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Value can go down.** A negative period — such as a strategy loss or adverse market move — reduces the Price Per Share and Your Holdings, even if you take no action. See [Risks](/sf-yield-vault/faqs.md#risks).
