A fork gives real liquidity, but the price on a fork only does what the market did that day. To ask what a manager earns when a fund doubles, and what they earn when it halves, the feed has to be one the test can push around. All eight of these are in test/ManagedFund.t.sol.
Can anyone open a fund?
Yes. One call to the factory, and the fund exists.
Can a manager set any fee they like?
No. The factory caps the performance fee at 30% of the profit.
Can a manager trade before putting their own money in?
No. They have to be invested in their own fund first.
Is a fill above the feed refused?
Yes. And the fund is holding nothing afterwards, so none of it leaked through.
Is the manager paid a tenth of the gain?
Yes. Out of the shares being redeemed, which is why it is a claim on the fund and never a transfer out of it.
Is the manager paid on a loss?
No. Below your own high-water mark they work for free.
Does a late depositor pay for profit earned before they arrived?
No. Your mark is the share price on the day you put money in.
Can somebody leave while the feed is frozen?
Yes. In kind, with their exact slice, and the manager is not paid.
