When LP capital enters or exits a vault, position sizes must scale proportionally so existing LPs aren’t exposed to changed leverage. This is the mechanic that distinguishes a proper LP-funded vault from a copy-trading platform.

The leverage drift problem

Example. A manager trades 400Knotionalon400K notional on 1M AUM (0.4× exposure). An LP withdraws 500KAUMisnow500K → AUM is now 500K but the same $400K position remains → effective exposure jumps to 0.8×. Remaining LPs are suddenly at 2× the leverage they signed up for. This is a system error, not a feature.
The reverse also matters: if an LP deposits 500K,AUMrisesto500K, AUM rises to 1.5M but the same $400K position now represents only 0.27× — the new LP is under-invested versus what they expected. Solution: positions rebalance atomically with capital changes.

Rebalancing modes

The manager picks the mode at vault creation:
ModeBehaviorBest for
Auto-immediate (default)Rebalance instantly on every LP entry/exitTight risk control, short-horizon strategies
Scheduled 4hAggregate deposits/withdrawals; rebalance every 4 hoursSwing strategies, reduced execution friction
Scheduled 24hRebalance daily at a fixed timeLong-horizon, low-frequency strategies

Technical requirements

Atomic

Either all positions rescale or none — no partial rebalance.

Failsafe. If rebalancing fails (illiquid market, exchange downtime, partial fill), the vault pauses new deposits, the manager is alerted, and manual review is required before resuming.
