Instead of holding crypto assets and constructing a portfolio by themselves, investors can invest into the vault that will perform different strategies. This can also be compared with how traditional mutual funds work where investors buy shares of the funds expecting that the fund managers will be able to deploy their money profitably. Nevertheless, in traditional finance most of the investment happens behind the scenes, the automated vault’s goal is to provide a secure and transparent investment pool.
- Vault - The abstraction of mutual funds where investors can invest into.
- Position Value - The value of deployed funds to destination protocol denominated by US Dollar. In the first version, the position value is calculated by pricing the PancakeSwapV3’s LP position.

- Equity - The value that belongs to the vault. This can be calculated by (Position Value + Undeployed Funds) - Debt
- AUM - The value of assets under management. This can be calculated by Position Value + Undeployed Funds + Debt Value.
