# Asset-management

<mark style="color:blue;">**Investments in Web3 lack efficient and transparent tooling to manage assets and parties’ relationships.**</mark> Investors have no accurate control of what is happening with their funds. On the other side, fund managers suffer from non-target activities (community management, fundraising, paperwork, etc.) that are needed for fundraising and contributor management.&#x20;

On a high level, there are two strategies for solving the issue mentioned above:

1. Development of a customized legal framework for collective investments in Web3;
2. Increase transparency for parties involved in this segment through convenient technology.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Option #1: Setup entity through the legal framework**</mark>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Applying the current legal system to Web3 is costly and often ineffective.**</mark> Best-case scenario (proper legal documentation, custody, banks) will take a long time, cost a lot, and still won’t prevent the main risks, cause the safety mechanisms are backward-looking.

But alternatives are much riskier and do not provide operational convenience:

* Lots of trust management cases include just direct funds transfer based on the manager’s reputation (pools);
* Or usage of centralized platforms (Binance API);
* Sometimes multisig is used, but it’s inconvenient without setting up additional infrastructure and works well only for small groups.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Option #2: Setup entity through the Vault</mark>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Investment Vaults can address the lack of transparency for investors and decrease fundraising difficulty**</mark> for fund managers. It comes through:

<mark style="color:blue;">**Current Vault constructors lack mass adoption since they are generic.**</mark> Tailored investment Vault for specific purposes needs from scratch development, which is costly and time-consuming.

<mark style="color:blue;">**ASPIS presents a highly customizable and inexpensive protocol for asset management Vaults**</mark> (trading funds, project/guild treasuries, VC pools). Using our intuitive UI, asset managers can:

* Deploy their Vault with specific capital on/offboarding rules;
* Specify the fee structure for auto-collection;
* Set up governance templates and controlling rules;
* Connect to the main DeFi platforms and DEXes with WalletConnect;
* Automate investor relations on-chain with transparent rules and investors' self-service.

<mark style="color:blue;">**On ASPIS, investors can:**</mark>

* Safely invest their capital without fear of manager’s misbehavior;
* Easily onboard/offboard from the Vaul&#x74;**;**
* Track the performance and operations of the Vaults;
* Initiate/participate in decision-making through controlling tools (allowlist wallets for interaction, spending limits, etc.).

<mark style="color:blue;">**To sum up, ASPIS will support both fund managers and investors,**</mark> with a group of solutions during the whole Vault lifecycle.
