Bracket is pleased to present the first actively managed vault on the platform, the DeFi Yield ETH+ 10% Target rate vault* Administrator: Boreal About the Strategy: The strategy deploys to vetted DeFi protocols seeking risk-adjusted ETH-denominated yields. Its objective is to generate market-neutral returns in DeFi by capitalizing on yield opportunities while managing risk and limiting exposure to market volatility.

The administrator employs investment strategies adapted from traditional finance, such as liquidity provision, futures basis, yield arbitrage, and tactical leverage, to build robust systems designed to generate desirable risk-adjusted returns.

The approach focuses on leading Layer-1 and Layer-2 blockchains and protocols and relies on extensive risk management expertise developed over multiple market cycles, ensuring strong performance and security.
