# Aera Vault

The Aera vault is a wrapper contract over the [Balancer Managed Pool](/v1-archive/concepts/aera-vault/balancer-managed-pool.md) that restricts and facilitates certain functions (see <https://docs.balancer.fi/getting-started/faqs/pools-and-lbps>).

The following features are supported:

* Vault owner can deposit funds or withdraw funds (according to [Withdrawal Validator](/v1-archive/concepts/withdrawal-validator.md)) in a way that preserves the Balancer spot price between different pairs of assets
* Vault owner can finalize the fund and return all funds to treasury
* Vault Guardian can set swap fees, create and cancel weight update schedules
* Both owner and Guardian can pause trading but only owner can re-enable it.
