# Find a vault

Chamber vaults are listed in the [Chamber app](https://chamberfi.com/). You can filter by chain, strategy category, fees, and performance metrics. Every vault has a public page with its full composition, history, and manager details.

## The vault directory

Open the Chamber app and navigate to the vault list. Each card shows:

* **Vault name and manager.**
* **Chain.** Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Plasma, or HyperEVM.
* **Strategy category.** Managed, automated, yield, leverage, etc. — a label the manager sets in vault settings.
* **Vault Score and Risk Factor.** Summary metrics — see below.
* **Current AUM.**
* **Fees.** Entry / exit / performance / management at a glance.

## Vault Score and Risk Factor

Two metrics help you compare vaults quickly. Neither is a prediction; both are backward-looking.

* **Vault Score** — a performance summary calculated as *Sortino ratio × √(7-day average vault value)*. Rewards steady, risk-adjusted returns on vaults that have meaningful capital deployed. A new vault with no history will show a low score until it's been running for a while.
* **Risk Factor** — a 1–5 rating based on downside deviation. 1 = historically low downside volatility, 5 = historically high. Useful as a first-pass filter, not a guarantee.

See [Leaderboard & ranking](/concepts/leaderboard-ranking.md) for the full methodology.

## The vault page

Clicking into a vault shows:

* **Composition** — what the vault currently holds, broken down by asset.
* **Performance chart** — NAV over time, priced in USD via the [oracle layer](/concepts/oracles.md).
* **Fee schedule** — full fees, the high-water mark for performance, and the annual management rate.
* **Manager** — name, address, and any other vaults they run.
* **Trading history** — recent transactions executed by the manager or their [delegated trader](/manage/trader-delegation.md).
* **Whitelist status** — public or [private](/manage/permissions-access.md). If private, you'll see a "not eligible to deposit" message unless the manager has added your address.

## What to look at before depositing

Rough order of importance:

1. **Does the strategy match what you want exposure to?** A stablecoin yield vault and a leveraged ETH vault are radically different products. Read the strategy description.
2. **Risk Factor.** Anything you wouldn't sleep through should be reflected here.
3. **Track record length.** A vault with two weeks of history tells you less than one with two years.
4. **Manager.** Who runs it, what else they run, how they communicate.
5. **Fees.** Higher performance fees aren't automatically bad, but they need to be justified by the strategy.
6. **Composition.** What's the vault actually holding right now? Does it match the stated strategy?
