📈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.
