How Hyperliquid Vault Deposits Share Trading Profits and Losses
Summary
This legacy guide explains how depositing into a Hyperliquid vault gives an investor a proportional share of the vault’s profits or losses. It illustrates the accounting with a deposit that represents one tenth of the vault: when the vault’s value doubles without other deposits or withdrawals, the investor’s share doubles before the leader’s profit share is deducted. The example also notes that closing open positions during withdrawal can introduce slippage.
The guide describes how to review vault statistics, including annual percentage yield, total deposits, profit and loss, maximum drawdown, volume, open positions, and trade history. It also outlines how depositors can monitor their performance and withdraw. Withdrawal timing is subject to lockups that differ between the HLP vault and user vaults. The page warns that vault trading carries risk and that historical results do not ensure future returns; it does not provide evidence that any vault will be profitable.
Key ideas
- Vault depositors share the vault’s trading profits and losses in proportion to their ownership.
- The example deducts a leader profit share from the investor’s gain.
- Closing open positions during a withdrawal may cause slippage.
- Vault evaluation can include returns, drawdown, activity, positions, and trade history.
- Withdrawals are subject to vault-specific lockup periods, and past performance does not assure future results.
