Explanation:
The sentence is ambiguous and is subject to various interpretations, unless defined by additional context.

"Vested" is a term used to describe the ecclesiastical class in reference to the way they dress. A priest, for instance, may be called "a man of the cloth."

I have suggested a number of terms around that meaning, some of which have a local flavor and may or may not be appropriate for a scholarly context.

"Vested" also means "in possession of power."

It also means "involved in an investment."

Please look at your context and decide.
