PAMM ACCOUNT INVESTMENTS EXPLAINED

The FXTM PMD invests in a PAMM:

Trader Smith has been trading forex successfully for several years. He decides it's time he should start sharing his expert trading strategies and contacts the Portfolio Management Department (PMD) at Forex Time (FXTM). The PMD reviews the trading history of the trader and if it meets the criteria of the PMD and following agreement with Trader Smith, the PMD may be entitled to utilise his trading strategy for FXTM PAMM portfolio.

The PMD places an initial deposit of $2,000 in FXTM PAMM Portfolio.

PMD FXTM PAMM Balance: $2,000 (initial deposit from PMD).

Investor Alex and Investor Chen Join

The PMD's next step is to align PMD Investors in PAMM with strategies that fit the Investor's respective profile.

Having seen the results of the different portfolios, Forex Time (FXTM) investors Alex and Chen decide to invest. Alex invests $5,000, Chen invests $3,000. The balance of the respective FXTM PAMM Portfolio is now $10,000.

After the First Month of Trading

The first month of trading is a successful one and the FXTM PAMM achieves a 30% return ($3,000) on the initial investment ($10,000). The FXTM PMD is paid the performance fee of 20% on its successful trades i.e. $600. The balance of the respective PAMM Portfolio is now $12,400.

The profits ($2,400) are distributed between the investors based on their initial deposit in the FXTM PAMM, and the PMD. With an initial investment of $5,000, Investor Alex's share of the profits will be $1,200 (50% of $2,400). With an initial investment of $3,000, Investor Chen's share of the profit will be $720 (30% of $2,400). The PMD will receive $480 (20% of $2,400) of this amount.

Before the beginning of the second month of trading, the PMD withdraws the profits they earned during the first month ($480). The PMD's Capital remains $2,000.

Investor Alex chooses to reinvest all of his $6,200 back into PAMM, (including the $1,200 of profit from the first month of trading).

Investor Chen withdraws $220 and reinvests the remainder in the respective FXTM PAMM portfolio. His total investment in PAMM is now $3,500.
