# Market Neutral Long Short Vault

When it comes to DeFi today, it is completely understandable that many investors have serious reservations. Between opaque “black-box” protocols and a recent wave of devastating hacks, public confidence in the safety of DeFi has been severely shaken.

Recognizing these structural vulnerabilities, Vectis Finance began developing a proprietary **Multi-factor Model** in March of last year. Throughout this development process, we have invested immense time and resources into live trading execution and stringent risk management. Moving forward, we are not solely reliant on DeFi protocols to generate yield; instead, we can actively capture returns through sophisticated, data-driven price judgment.

Today, we are excited to officially introduce our new **Systematic Long/Short Strategy**.

### Strategy core characteristics

This new product is designed to isolate and eliminate the unpredictable variables of the crypto market, focusing purely on statistical edges.

#### 1. Strict market neutrality

We do not take directional bets on where the market is going. By maintaining a strictly market-neutral portfolio, our goal is to keep market risk tightly controlled at all times, while simultaneously mitigating operational and counterparty risks.

#### 2. Multi-dimensional analysis

Our model doesn’t just look at price. We conduct rigorous cross-sectional analysis across a wide universe of tokens. Assets are evaluated and scored based on a variety of distinct factors, including:

* **Trading volume & liquidity**
* **Core fundamentals**
* **Market sentiment**

### Zero DeFi concern & institutional infrastructure

The most important distinction of our Systematic Long/Short Strategy is its risk profile: **this product requires zero exposure to DeFi.** The risks involved are mainly standard trading risks. To ensure maximum capital protection and execution efficiency, we have partnered with industry leaders:

* **Custody:** All assets are secured using **Ceffu**, providing institutional-grade wallet custody.
* **Execution:** All trading activity is routed exclusively through **Binance**. We chose Binance for one simple reason: it provides the undisputed highest liquidity in the market.

### Introductory fee structure & user relief

To celebrate the launch of this strategy, we are offering a heavily discounted standard fee schedule for the **first month** of operation.

| Fee Type        | Rate  |
| --------------- | ----- |
| Management fee  | 0.0%  |
| Redemption fee  | 0.2%  |
| Performance fee | 10.0% |

### Continued support for Drift-affected users

Just as we announced with UltraX, we remain committed to supporting our community members who were impacted by the recent Drift Protocol incident. For those affected Vectis users who enter this new strategy, **any fees paid up until May 31, 2026, will be fully rebated.**<br>

We built this strategy to provide a safe, data-driven alternative in a volatile market. If you are looking for yield without the anxiety of smart contract vulnerabilities, we invite you to explore what our Systematic Long/Short Strategy has to offer.<br>
