PAMM Hesabi
A pooled investment account structure where a professional money manager trades on behalf of multiple investors with proportional profit and loss allocation.
Definition
PAMM stands for Percentage Allocation Management Module, a technology-driven investment solution offered by forex brokerages that allows professional traders (money managers) to manage pooled capital from multiple investors through a single trading account. Each investor's share of profits and losses is calculated proportionally based on their contribution to the total pool.
The PAMM system works by aggregating investor funds into a master account controlled by the money manager. When the manager executes trades, the results are automatically distributed among all investors based on their percentage share. For example, if an investor contributes 10% of the total pool and the manager generates a 5% return, that investor receives a 5% return on their individual investment.
Money managers earn performance fees -- typically 20% to 30% of profits generated -- as compensation for their trading expertise. The PAMM structure benefits all parties: investors gain access to professional trading without needing to trade themselves, money managers earn fees on a larger capital base, and the broker generates trading volume and commissions from the managed accounts.

Key Points
For Investors
PAMM accounts let investors participate in forex trading without executing trades themselves. They select a money manager based on track record, invest their desired amount, and receive proportional returns. Investors retain full control over their capital and can withdraw at defined intervals.
For Money Managers
Skilled traders can monetize their expertise by managing larger pools of capital. Performance fees provide income beyond their own trading returns. As their track record grows, they attract more investors, increasing the capital under management and fee income.
For Brokers
PAMM accounts increase trading volume, attract both active traders (as managers) and passive investors, and create sticky client relationships. Brokers earn commissions on the managed trading activity while offering a valuable service that differentiates them from competitors.
