# Onboarding for managers

Portfolio Managers ("PMs") can launch and run their own funds on Brila, using [Brila credit infrastructure](https://docs.brila.finance/brila-protocol/credit-vaults).

### How to onboard (as a Portfolio Manager)

To deploy a portfolio, managers must be approved by TrueFi governance via the following steps:

1. PM posts forum request at <https://forum.truefi.io/>.
   * This forum request should outline the PM's background and plans, along with the PM's Ethereum (Arbitrum or Plume) address.
   * For previous examples, please see [here](https://forum.truefi.io/c/manager-requests/9).&#x20;
2. After governance approval, TrueFi governance adds the PM's address to an allowlist.&#x20;
   * This enables the PM to deploy vaults from a factory contract.
3. PM deploys vault
   * Vaults are supported on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Plume, and HyperEVM.
   * For more details on how vaults work, visit [credit-vaults](https://docs.brila.finance/brila-protocol/credit-vaults "mention") and [asset-vaults](https://docs.brila.finance/brila-protocol/asset-vaults "mention").
