What is PAMM Account?

Updated October 17, 2026

A PAMM account lets you put money with a trader who trades a pooled fund and you share results by percentage.

PAMM stands for Percentage Allocation Management Module. Your money joins a pool and a manager trades it.

Profits and losses are split based on how much you put in. The manager usually takes a performance fee.

It's one way to have someone else trade for you. But you're trusting their skill and risk control, and you can still lose money.

Example

You put $1,000 into a pool of $100,000, so you own 1% and get 1% of the results after fees.

Questions people ask

Is a PAMM safe?

The money stays at the broker, which helps, but trading losses are still possible.
