# Making Deposits

In order to invest in the QuantiFi Investor Fund, you will need to make a deposit of USDT on the QIT Fund Page. New investors will need to make a deposit that meets the Minimum Deposit, while existing investors wishing to make an additional deposit will need to meet the minimum top up. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, the *Minimum Deposit* is **$1000 USDT** and the *Minimum Top-Up* Amount is **$500 USDT**
{% endhint %}

Prior to making your first deposit, the smart contract which controls the Investor Fund will ask you to provide permission to transfer USDT from your wallet to the fund. Once you have clicked the button to grant permission and signed the transaction using your wallet, you will be able to complete the deposit by clicking the *Execute Swap* button. Once again, you will be asked to sign this transaction using your wallet. Once the transaction completes, QIT will be automatically added to your wallet. All deposits are subject to a 2% deposit fee, which covers Licencing Fees for the Trading Model and expenses of the Fund Manager. There are no fees on withdrawals.

### Withdrawal Lockup Periods

When you make a deposit to the QuantiFi Investor Fund, the funds deposited will be unable to be withdrawn until the lockup period has commenced. Having a lockup period allows time for the fund to earn a return on your investment, and prevents malicious actors from rapidly depositing and withdrawing from the fund. If you make an additional deposit to the fund in the future, your withdrawal time will be extended by the set lockup time starting from your latest deposit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, the *Withdrawal Lockup Time* is set at **30 days.**
