# Market Allocation Strategy

Market allocation is the most impactful action influencing vault composition, with a central role in defining a vault’s risk profile and overall APY.

To inform our allocation strategy, we use fine-tuned Agent-Based Simulations (ABS) that model market scenarios and user interactions within DeFi protocols. Our methodology incorporates detailed models based on sophisticated agent models and simulations that interact with smart contracts.

When allocating to a market, there are three main actions we can take that impact a vault’s risk profile and APY:

1. **Adding a new market:** When a new market is added and supply is allocated, the vault APY will change based on the allocation percentage and the supply APY rate.
2. **Adjusting market allocations:** To ensure Gauntlet-curated Vaults remain optimized for risk-adjusted yield, our models constantly review market allocations and make necessary adjustments.
3. **Adjusting market caps:** The caps we set serve to limit vault exposure to any one market. A cap represents the total amount of supply that can be allocated to a particular market.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vaultbook.gauntlet.xyz/vaults/morpho-vaults/curation-methodology-and-risk-factor-overview/market-allocation-strategy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
