Important:

Managers must maintain the minimum ownership requirement at all times.

**Investors:**\

Depositing Into a Vault

Investors can deposit funds directly into a Vault using the asset selected by the Vault Manager.

Key rules:

* Minimum deposit value: $10
* Deposits are subject to the Vault's lock-up period
* New deposits receive Vault shares based on the current NAV
* Deposits may be disabled by the Vault Manager at any time

Once funds are deposited, they become part of the Vault's trading capital and participate in future profits and losses.

***

### Redeeming Funds

Investors can redeem their Vault shares after the lock-up period expires.

Redemptions are processed according to the investor's proportional ownership of the Vault.<br>

The value received may include:

* Original deposited assets
* Trading profits
* Realized gains or losses

\
Depending on Vault settings, redemption processing may require open positions or orders to be adjusted before funds become available.

Position reductions may result in slippage and execution costs.\
