# Fees + Redemption Period

Neutral Trade fees and redemptions: the 1% management fee, performance and withdrawal fees by vault, and the weekly redemption schedule.

Current Neutral Strategy Vaults charge up to three fees: a management fee, a performance fee on some vaults, and a withdrawal fee. All three are charged by the vault program and shown in each vault's Details view before you deposit. There are no invoices and no hidden charges.

Figures are the on-chain settings on 12 October 2026 for vaults on Solana. Meridian Liquidity Provider (Robinhood Chain) and Neutral Autopilot on Ethereum (through Accountable Vaults) run on a different vault contract and list their own terms in the app. If a figure on this page differs from a vault's Details view, the Details view is correct.

## Management Fee

All 12 current Neutral Strategy Vaults have a **1% annual management fee** as their base schedule, except NT Earn, which charges no fees. The management fee accrues over elapsed time and is charged in vault shares.

At a simple annualized rate, 1% is approximately 0.00274% per day. Actual charges use the program's elapsed-time calculation and current user-specific fee setting rather than a rounded daily rate.

A disclosed promotion, VIP discount, or wallet-level fee setting can reduce the management fee actually charged. It does not change the vault's 1% base schedule.

The [Neutral VIP Program](/getting-started/neutral-vip-program.md) currently applies to Neutral Autopilot. Its Silver, Gold, and Diamond tiers reduce the standard 1% annual management fee to 0.90%, 0.80%, and 0.70%, respectively. Performance fees are not discounted.

## Performance Fee

Some vaults also charge a **performance fee**. It applies only to profit above your high-water mark and varies by vault.

If a position has not made a new post-fee profit above its high-water mark, no performance fee is charged for that interval.

The high-water mark is your highest post-fee position value used for performance-fee accounting. On a direct vault position it is tracked per wallet, so another depositor's gains or losses do not change your fee. A new deposit can adjust the account's weighted entry basis according to the vault program rules.

## Withdrawal Fee

A withdrawal fee is deducted from the amount you redeem. It is a one-time charge at settlement, not an annual fee. When you switch between vaults, you pay only the difference if the source vault's withdrawal fee is higher than the destination's. See [How They Work](/neutral-strategy-vaults/how-they-work.md).

## Builder Fee Split

The [Builders Code Rebate](/for-distribution-partners/neutral-builders-code.md) shares part of the management fee with an attributed builder:

* The user-specific management fee is calculated first.
* The builder receives its live per-vault tier percentage of that charged fee.
* The split comes from the manager's fee and does not increase the user's cost.
* Performance fees are excluded from the launched builder ladder.

## Position Values

**Balance** is the current value of your vault shares after charged fees.

**Earnings** is your profit shown after management and performance fees.

**Performance fee paid** is the cumulative performance fee charged on profit above the high-water mark.

## Withdrawals

From 12 October 2026, Neutral Strategy Vaults follow a fixed weekly redemption schedule. Each vault is on one of three schedules: Autopilot, once-weekly, or twice-weekly.

You can submit a withdrawal request on any day. The request joins the next cutoff, and the vault redeems it on the redemption day for that cutoff. Every cutoff is at 00:00 UTC, the start of the day.

### Redemption Schedule

| Schedule     | Request window      | Cutoff (UTC)  | Redemption day            |
| ------------ | ------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------- |
| Autopilot    | Monday to Sunday    | Monday 00:00  | Saturday after the cutoff |
| Once-weekly  | Tuesday to Monday   | Tuesday 00:00 | Friday after the cutoff   |
| Twice-weekly | Tuesday to Thursday | Friday 00:00  | Monday after the cutoff   |
| Twice-weekly | Friday to Monday    | Tuesday 00:00 | Friday after the cutoff   |

A request made on the cutoff day itself falls into the next window. For example, a once-weekly request made on Monday is redeemed that Friday, and a request made on Tuesday is redeemed on Friday of the next week.

### Vaults on Each Schedule

**Autopilot (Saturday redemptions)**

* Neutral Autopilot

**Once-weekly (Friday redemptions)**

* Mid-frequency Market Making
* CTA - Adaptive Alpha
* HFT Multi-factor
* CTA - Longshort Alpha
* CTA - Systematic Alpha

**Twice-weekly (Monday and Friday redemptions)**

* Delta Neutral Arbitrage
* Hyperliquid Funding Arb
* Options Market Making

**Exceptions**

NT Earn, Multi-Asset Volatility Arbitrage, Meridian Liquidity Provider, and Neutral Autopilot on Ethereum do not follow this schedule. They keep their own redemption terms, shown in each vault's Details view.

### Until Settlement

You remain exposed to changes in the vault's price per share until settlement. The value shown when a withdrawal or builder claim is requested is therefore an estimate rather than a fixed redemption amount.

## Common Questions

**What fees does Neutral Trade charge?**

A 1% annual management fee on strategy vaults, a performance fee on some vaults, and a withdrawal fee. NT Earn has no fees.

**Is the performance fee charged on losses?**

No. It is charged only on new profit above your own high-water mark.

**How long does a withdrawal take?**

Between a few days and about two weeks on the weekly schedules, depending on the vault and the day you submit the request.
