Updated 4 months ago

What is a MAM Master?

A MAM Master account is a primary account managed by a trader or money manager. It allows them to manage multiple sub-accounts (MAM Investor accounts) from a single interface. Here’s what a MAM Master account offers:

  • Trade Allocation: The MAM Master account allows the manager to allocate trades to different sub-accounts based on parameters like percentage allocation, lot size, or equity ratio.
  • Simultaneous Trading: Trades can be executed across multiple sub-accounts at the same time, ensuring consistency in the trades for all managed accounts.
  • Performance Fees: The MAM Master account enables money managers to charge performance fees based on the profits generated by the managed accounts.
  • Reporting and Monitoring: The MAM Master account provides tools to track the performance of all linked sub-accounts and generate reports.

To become an MAM Master, you must complete and sign the Global Money Manager Application.

What is a MAM Investor?

A MAM Investor account is a sub-account linked to a MAM Master account. It’s designed for individual traders or investors who want their trades managed by a professional trader or money manager. Here’s what you should know about MAM Investor accounts:

  • Sub-Account: A MAM Investor account is a subsidiary account created under the MAM Master account. It mirrors trades from the Master account.
  • Trade Allocation: Trades executed by the MAM Master account are automatically allocated to the MAM Investor accounts based on settings like percentage allocation or equity ratio.
  • Mirroring Trades: The trades executed by the MAM Master are automatically copied into the MAM Investor account in real-time, reflecting the same trading activity.
  • Independent Balances: Each MAM Investor account has its own independent balance. This means the profits, losses, and equity are specific to the individual Investor account.
  • Reporting and Monitoring: MAM Investor account holders can track the performance of their accounts, view trade history, account balances, and profit/loss statements.

If you want to be set up as a MAM Investor, you must sign a Trading Authority (TA), which authorises the money manager to trade on your behalf and view your account information.
