## What are Index Vaults?

Index Vaults enable "fund of funds" activity on Brila, by allocating capital across multiple underlying Brila products (such as [Asset Vaults](/brila-protocol/asset-vaults.md), [Credit Vaults](/brila-protocol/credit-vaults.md), or [Lines of Credit](/brila-protocol/automated-lines-of-credit.md)).

Index Vaults do not allow managers to disburse funds to themselves, or to make loans directly to borrowers from Index Vault funds.
