Bracket is pleased to present the DeFi Yield USDC+ 15% Target rate vault*

Administrator: Boreal About the Strategy: The strategy deploys to vetted DeFi protocols seeking risk-adjusted USDC-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 farming, yield arbitrage, and tactical leverage, to build robust systems designed to generate desirable risk-adjusted returns.

Strategically allocates capital to low-risk trades, building a diversified portfolio of 7–12 positions with a turnover period of 2+ weeks.
