Proportional Stake
Position Tracking Architecture
Rank's internal accounting system maintains precise records of each investor's proportional ownership within strategy vaults. Unlike tokenized approaches, the platform tracks positions through on-chain state management, ensuring accurate PnL attribution without issuing transferable shares.
Entry Mechanics
Proportional Allocation
When investors deposit into a Strat, the platform calculates their ownership percentage:
Initial Pool Entry: First investor owns 100% of the strategy pool
Subsequent Deposits: Ownership percentage determined by contribution relative to existing pool value
Real-Time Valuation: Entry point captured at current net asset value preventing dilution
Position Recording
The platform maintains immutable records containing:
Deposit Amount: Exact assets contributed to the strategy
Entry NAV: Pool value per unit at time of deposit
Ownership Percentage: Proportional claim on total pool assets
Timestamp: Block number for historical performance tracking
Dynamic Rebalancing
Continuous Adjustment
As strategies execute trades, proportional ownership remains constant while absolute values fluctuate:
Profit Scenarios: All investors' positions increase proportionally
Loss Scenarios: Drawdowns distributed based on ownership percentage
Fee Deduction: Management and performance fees reduce positions proportionally
Multi-Deposit Handling
Investors adding to existing positions:
Weighted Average Entry: Platform recalculates blended cost basis
Maintained History: Complete record of all deposits preserved
Accurate Attribution: Each deposit tracked separately for performance calculation
PnL Calculation
Individual Performance
The platform computes returns specific to each investor's entry timing:
Unrealized Gains: Current pool value multiplied by ownership percentage minus deposits
Time-Weighted Returns: Performance calculated from individual entry points
Fee-Adjusted Results: Net returns after platform and strategy creator fees
Withdrawal Processing
Upon exit, the platform:
Calculates Final Value: Ownership percentage multiplied by current pool NAV
Determines Performance: Total withdrawal minus original deposits
Updates Records: Adjusts remaining investors' proportional ownership
Advanced Tracking Features
High-Water Mark System
Personal Benchmarks: Each investor maintains individual high-water mark
Performance Fee Timing: Fees charged only when surpassing previous peaks
Loss Recovery: No performance fees during drawdown recovery periods
Complex Scenarios
The system handles:
Partial Withdrawals: Proportional reduction maintaining accurate cost basis
Strategy Migrations: Position tracking across strategy versions
Emergency Exits: Fair value distribution during strategy wind-downs
Transparency Mechanisms
On-Chain Visibility
All position data remains publicly auditable:
Deposit Events: Entry amounts and timing recorded immutably
Performance History: Complete track record accessible via blockchain
Fee Attribution: Transparent breakdown of all charges
Reporting Infrastructure
Individual Dashboards: Real-time position values and historical performance
TX Documentation: Detailed transaction history for users' reference
Performance Analytics: Comprehensive metrics comparing entry timing impacts
This architecture ensures mathematical precision in return attribution while maintaining the simplicity of pooled investment strategies. Every investor receives exactly their proportional share of strategy performance, with complete transparency and no possibility of manipulation.
