RWAFI
The Nashpoint DeFi & RWA Fund (RWAFI) is an onchain diversified fund earning USDC stablecoin yield. Deployed on Arbitrum One, RWAFI allocates capital across Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols and tokenized Real World Assets (RWA). The behaviour of the fund is defined by the Nashpoint smart contracts, which are open source and already deployed onchain. The fund executes automatic daily rebalancing, processes daily redemptions every 24 hours, and is operated via Nashpoint’s proprietary algorithm for risk management & yield optimization.

Goal & Purpose
The goal of the fund is to achieve a 8% annual return by diversifying invested capital across trusted, risk-assessed protocols within DeFi, as well as RWAs. All transactions are visible onchain, ensuring transparency and accurate reporting. The fund token itself is ERC-20 compliant, ensuring fungibility and compatibility with contemporary smart contracts on the EVM.
DeFi moves rapidly, as new opportunities frequently emerge and close. Tracking positions, claiming rewards, and reallocating capital is challenging and time-intensive. RWAFI solves this problem of fragmented and inconsistent yield opportunities by regularly reallocating capital to where it will be most productive, handling all rebalancing and reward claims for the user.
Returns from tokenized RWAs are more consistent than DeFi, and in some cases, such as Private Credit and Private Equity, can offer higher returns. However, accessing these returns does not come with the same guarantee of atomic withdrawals as DeFi, placing an additional burden on the user through extended capital lockups. RWAFI solves this liquidity issue by combining RWAs with more liquid DeFi assets. This ensures all users have access to higher and more consistent offchain returns, while maintaining sufficient atomic DeFi liquidity to quickly process redemptions as required.

Risk Analysis
All included assets must pass risk assessment on the asset and protocol level. The combined score is used to determine a composite internal score which is used for determining the asset weighting.
Protocol Assessment
To assess protocol risk, NashPoint uses the CertiK Skynet Security Score, a real-time, independently computed rating. Skynet aggregates more than 15 automatically collected and manually analyzed signals across six dimensions: code security, fundamental health, operational resilience, community trust, market stability, and governance strength. Automatic signals include on-chain activity, past incidents, and website vulnerabilities.
Manual signals capture factors such as documentation quality, team transparency, and audit status. A higher Skynet score reflects stronger security posture. NashPoint excludes any protocol whose Skynet score or component rating falls below threshold and triggers automatic removal when scores decline.
Asset Assessment
Protocol Assessment involves using the vaults.fyi Reputation Score, which is a composite credibility metric. It evaluates a vault's track record across five weighted factors: protocol integrity, based on long-term TVL; pool diagnostics, based on liquidity persistence; community adoption, based on holder diversity; underlying asset reliability, based on token stability; and underlying blockchain security, based on the maturity of the host chain. Higher scores favour protocols with sustained capital and usage. Lower scores may reflect newer strategies rather than unsafe ones. The score is used alongside other risk assessments in NashPoint’s protocol selection process.
RWA Assessment
As well as onchain protocol and asset assessment, tokenized RWAs are also evaluated & weighted according to the rating agency score of the underlying offchain fund.
Asset Allocation
The assets in the fund are allocated across three distinct sleeves, with specific purposes and target weights.

Target weights may be adjusted to better pursue the 8% APR goal. For example, if available RWA options are limited, the fund may temporarily increase its DeFi allocation until additional integrations are live.
Fund Operations
Fund rebalancing and other operations are executed by an offchain keeper bot during a predefined window every 24 hours. Newly deposited user funds are allocated according to pre-defined weights and other parameters set by NashPoint in the smart contract. Users can request redemptions at any time; these are queued and processed during the next available rebalance window in the order received. Redemptions are fulfilled from the reserve first, and if insufficient, underlying strategies are liquidated in the order that minimizes impact on Net Asset Value (NAV).
Swing Pricing
Swing pricing is enabled in this fund to incentivize maintaining a healthy liquidity reserve, which is set at a target of 5% of total assets. Swing pricing works by applying a small adjustment (the "swing factor") to deposits and withdrawals based on how far the current reserve deviates from the target. When reserves fall below the 5% target, withdrawals incur a progressively increasing penalty, up to a maximum of 0.25% (25 bps). Conversely, deposits made during periods of low reserves receive a share bonus, rewarding users who help restore liquidity. If the reserve is fully depleted, the swing factor reaches its maximum value of 25 bps, and additional withdrawal requests trigger liquidation of underlying assets to fulfill redemptions. This mechanism stabilizes reserves, discourages excessive withdrawals during market volatility, and fairly passes on execution costs to users based on liquidity needs.
Eligibility
The fund currently supports strategy integrations using ERC-4626 (synchronous) and ERC-7540 (asynchronous) vaults. This section will be updated as more integrations come online.
Fees
The fund charges a 0.95% annual management fee and a 3.5 basis point (0.035%) execution fee on each allocation (no execution fee is applied to withdrawals). The total expense ratio will be at least 0.95% annually, and may be slightly higher depending on how frequently the fund reallocates capital.
