# Managing Position #### Overview This page explains how to **monitor and manage your Vault position** after depositing assets. Once assets are deposited into a Vault, users do not need to actively manage strategies.\ However, understanding how to track performance and position status is important for a smooth experience. *** ### What It Means to “Manage” a Vault Position Managing a Vault position does **not** involve: * Selecting strategies * Rebalancing assets * Adjusting maturities or rates Instead, it means: * Monitoring the value of your position * Understanding how yield is reflected * Deciding when to deposit more or withdraw *** ### Key Metrics to Monitor When viewing your Vault position, you will typically see the following metrics. #### Vault Share Balance * The number of Vault Shares you own * This number remains constant unless you deposit or withdraw * Shares represent your proportional ownership of the Vault *** #### Estimated Asset Value * The current value of your Vault position in the base asset * Calculated using the current value per share * This value may fluctuate over time *** #### Share Price (Value per Share) * Indicates how much of the base asset each Vault Share represents * Increases as yield is generated * Decreases if losses occur within the strategy Users should focus on **value per share**, not just share quantity. *** ### Understanding Yield Accrual Yield in a Vault is accrued automatically. * Yield is reflected through changes in share price * No additional tokens are distributed * No action is required from users This model allows yield to compound naturally over time. *** ### Adding More Assets If you wish to increase your position: * You can deposit additional assets into the same Vault * New Vault Shares will be minted based on the current share price * Existing shares are unaffected Deposits and withdrawals are independent actions. *** ### Partial Withdrawals Users are not required to fully exit a Vault. * You may withdraw a portion of your Vault Shares * Remaining shares continue to accrue yield * Partial withdrawals allow flexible position sizing *** ### Tracking Performance Over Time Performance can be tracked by: * Comparing your initial deposit to current estimated value * Monitoring changes in value per share * Reviewing transaction history on-chain Vaults are designed for medium- to long-term participation rather than frequent trading. *** ### Common User Questions #### Why does my share balance stay the same? Because yield is reflected in **share value**, not share quantity. *** #### Why does my estimated value change even if I take no action? Because strategy performance and market conditions change over time. *** #### Can the value go down? Yes. Vault positions are subject to market and strategy risk.\ Value may decrease under adverse conditions. *** ### When to Consider Withdrawing You may consider withdrawing if: * You want to reduce exposure * You want to reallocate capital * Market conditions no longer fit your risk preference Withdrawals are executed by redeeming Vault Shares, as explained in the previous section. *** ### Next Steps After learning how to manage your Vault position, you may want to: * Explore the **Platform Guide** to understand the UI in detail * Learn more about how Vaults work internally * Review strategy-specific documentation These topics are covered in the following sections.
