What is a PAMM Account and How Does it Work?


"PAMM" refers to "Percentage Allocation Management Modul", and it is a form of investment available on our platform. A professional portfolio manager -PAMM Money Manager-, runs a single account, or PAMM Fund, on behalf of numerous investors -PAMM Investors-. Then, based on each investor's percentage investment, the profits or losses are distributed among them. As payment for their services, the PAMM Manager receives a portion of the revenue.  


Making trading decisions and controlling the account's overall risk are the responsibilities of the PAMM Money Manager. As a PAMM Investor, you can keep track of the account's performance and withdraw your money whenever you like. 


Using a PAMM account to invest can be a convenient way to access professional investment management without having to manage your own accounts.  However, it is important to understand the fees and risks involved in this type of investment, and carefully research the PAMM Manager and their PAMM Funds before making a decision.

  


Practical case


Let's say a PAMM Money Manager creates a PAMM Fund and sets an offer within this fund (deposit fee is 10%).  


  • Investor 1 makes an investment of $5400 (60%) in this Fund ($6000 - 10% Deposit Fee = $5400). 


  • Investor 2 makes an investment of $3600 (40%) in this Fund ($4000 - 10% Deposit Fee = $3600). 

  

This PAMM Fund currently has $9000. PAMM Manager begins trading and earns a profit of $4000, of which 60% ($2400) is allocated to Investor 1 and 40% ($1600) to Investor 2. 


  • The deposit fee earned by the PAMM Money Manager is $1000. 


  • The profit of PAMM Investor 1 is $2400. 


  • The profit of PAMM Investor 2 is $1600.
