Understanding PAMM Account

Percentage Allocation Money Management (PAMM) is a solution where a professional account manager executes trades on behalf of a diverse range of clients. In this setup, the account manager acts as the Fund Manager, while the clients are the Investors. The PAMM account allows investors to pool their funds together, providing them with access to professional fund managers and their trading strategies.

How Does PAMM Work?

Investors often face capital limitations when trading independently. To overcome this challenge, a PAMM account allows the Fund Manager to pool funds from multiple investors into a single trading strategy. This approach may benefit a diverse range of participants seeking access to sophisticated trading opportunities. Investors receive a share of the profits proportionate to their contribution to the PAMM account's capital.

For Fund Managers, a PAMM account provides access to significant funds and an opportunity to earn a performance fee. It serves as an effective means for investors to access high-capital trading strategies. Typically, the returns are shared based on the investors' contributed amount as a percentage of the total PAMM account's capital.

PAMM Account Example

To understand the setup and participants involved in a PAMM account, let's walk through an example.

The key participants are:

1 The Forex Broker (Vantage)

2 Investors

3 Money Managers (Fund Managers)

Now, let's consider three investors: Investor A, Investor B, and Investor C.
They aspire to trade the forex market using a PAMM solution and decide to collaborate. To make this possible, they each open individual PAMM accounts with Vantage, the CFD broker. An experienced forex trader takes on the role of the Money Manager and becomes a Vantage PAMM Fund Manager. By doing so, the Money Manager aims to optimize their earnings through successful trades and earn a performance fee. Investors A, B, and C select this Money Manager as their Vantage PAMM Fund Manager to trade on their behalf.

Pooling Your Funds

In this example, Investors A, B and C pool their funds together where they invest $50,000, $35,000, and $15,000 respectively.
The total investment amounts to $100,000. The Money Manager charges a 20% performance fee on the earnings.

1 Investors A - $50,000

2 Investors B - $35,000

3 Investors C - $15,000

4 Money Manager - Charges 20%

Let's assume that during the investment period, there is a 12.5% gain, resulting in earnings of $12,500. After deducting the performance fee of $2,500 (20% of $12,500), the remaining $10,000 is distributed among the participants based on their share of the pool.

Distribute Earnings based on
Contributions

1 Investors A - 50% ($5,000) of the net earnings

2 Investors B - 35% ($3,500) of the net earnings

3 Investors C - 15% ($1,500) of the net earnings

This example demonstrates the potential advantages of using a PAMM account. By pooling their funds, enabling participation from a broad spectrum of investors, they can leverage the expertise of professional traders and distribute earnings based on their respective contributions.

    MAM and PAMM accounts differ in terms of fund allocation and management. In a PAMM account, a trader makes investment decisions for a pooled fund, with profits and losses distributed among investors based on their allocated percentages. In a MAM account, a manager trades proportionally across individual accounts, allowing investors to maintain control and customise their risk preferences.
