<p>A <strong>PAMM Account</strong> (Percentage Allocation Money Management) is a pooled investment structure in which multiple investors contribute capital to a single trading account managed by a professional trader, known as the manager. Profits and losses are distributed proportionally to each participant’s share of the total fund, based on the percentage of capital they allocated. This arrangement allows investors to gain exposure to the manager’s strategy without executing trades themselves, while the manager trades on behalf of the entire pool using a unified balance.</p>

<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>When a PAMM Account is created, the manager deposits their own funds and sets a performance fee, often a percentage of profits. Investors then subscribe by transferring money into the account; each contribution increases the total equity and determines the investor’s ownership percentage. All trades executed by the manager affect the combined equity, and the platform automatically calculates each investor’s profit or loss according to their stake. MetaTrader 5 supports PAMM functionality through dedicated modules that track individual allocations in real time.</p>
<p>Withdrawals and additional deposits are processed at the end of a reporting period, typically daily or monthly, to avoid intra‑period dilution of shares. The manager’s fee is deducted from the profit portion before distribution, while losses are shared proportionally without any fee. Transparency is provided via investor dashboards that display equity, performance, and fee details.</p>

<h2>Why It Matters for Traders</h2>
<p>For investors, a PAMM Account offers access to professional expertise without the need to develop or monitor trading strategies. It enables diversification across multiple managers by allocating smaller amounts to several PAMMs, reducing reliance on a single approach. For managers, the structure provides a scalable way to earn performance fees while managing a larger capital base than their personal funds would allow.</p>
<p>The model aligns interests: managers profit only when investors profit, encouraging disciplined risk management. Because the account operates under a single login, operational complexity is low, and regulatory reporting is simplified for the broker. STB Provider, as an STP/NDD broker, offers PAMM accounts that integrate directly with its MetaTrader 5 environment, ensuring fast execution and minimal slippage for all participants.</p>

<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Suppose a PAMM Account starts with $100,000 total equity. The manager contributes $20,000 (20 %). Three investors each deposit $20,000, $30,000, and $30,000, representing 20 %, 30 %, and 30 % of the pool. Over a month the manager generates a 10 % profit, raising equity to $110,000. A 20 % performance fee on the $10,000 profit equals $2,000, leaving $8,000 to distribute.</p>
<p>Investor A (20 % share) receives 20 % of $8,000 = $1,600. Investor B (30 % share) receives $2,400. Investor C (30 % share) receives $2,400. The manager receives their original $20,000 plus the $2,000 fee, totaling $22,000. Each participant’s final balance reflects their initial capital plus the allocated profit or loss.</p>
