Managed account services
AMS / PAMM managed accounts
Understand the structure used to allocate investor funds to a strategy manager, with profit and loss distributed proportionally.
Proportional allocation Manager-led trading Capital at risk
Trading leveraged products involves significant risk.
How the structure works
One strategy. Multiple proportional allocations.
In a PAMM-style structure, a strategy manager trades a master account while investor results are allocated according to each participant’s share of the pool.
Investor funds are not guaranteed. Losses are allocated as well as profits, manager performance can change and fees reduce returns.
- Investors select an available manager or offer
- Capital is allocated under a defined participation model
- The manager places trades according to the stated strategy
- Results are distributed proportionally after applicable fees
- Deposit and withdrawal windows may be restricted
Due diligence
What to review before allocating capital
Historical performance alone is not enough. Understand the strategy, drawdown, fees, liquidity and manager controls.
Risk parameters
Understand leverage, concentration, maximum drawdown and whether the manager can change the strategy.
Fee structure
Review performance fee, management fee, high-water mark and any early-withdrawal terms.
Withdrawal rules
Check lock periods, processing windows and how open positions affect redemption value.
Manager authority
Clarify what the manager can trade and whether the investor retains account access and reporting.
Worst-case outcome
Assume the full allocated capital can be lost and decide whether that loss is financially acceptable.
Important risk distinction
Managed does not mean protected.
A professional-looking history, high return or low recent drawdown cannot guarantee future performance. Correlation, leverage and market gaps can produce losses larger than expected.
Read full risk disclosureNo guaranteed returnAny guarantee of profit should be treated as a warning sign.
Past performanceHistorical results do not predict future outcomes.
Fees matterPerformance and management fees reduce investor return.
Liquidity limitsWithdrawals may not be immediate while trades are open.
Questions answered
PAMM questions
Understand ownership, control and risk before allocating funds.
Does the manager own investor funds?
The structure should keep allocations recorded to investor accounts while the manager receives trading authority under the programme rules. Confirm the actual DOYOS implementation and agreement.
Can I withdraw at any time?
Not always. Offers can use lock periods, processing cycles or conditions linked to open positions.
How are profits and losses allocated?
They are generally distributed in proportion to each investor’s participation after applicable fees and adjustments.
Can a manager guarantee a return?
No. Trading returns cannot be guaranteed, and the entire allocation can be lost.
Review the managed-account agreement.
