Performance Commentary

The vaults' strong performance were driven by their disciplined and transparent approach to earn swap fees, collect incentives, and reduce capital loss. For all vaults, a [tight range strategy](/charm/provide-liquidity/charm-vaults.md) was used to used to earn fees and collect rewords, and a [swapless rebalancing](/charm/products-overview/alpha-vaults/whitepaper.md) strategy to avoid price impact and paying swap fees. New positions are chosen between 6 hours and 24 hours, so that the vaults can earn yields when the price changes. The variation in performance was due to the amount of incentives offered to the pool by [Katana](https://katana.network/), the price volatility in the underlying assets being managed, and the amount of liquidity created by the vault.
