PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) and MAM (Multi-Account Manager) are investment technologies used primarily in financial markets like forex. PAMM allows a single trader to manage multiple investor accounts, with profits and losses distributed based on each investor's share. It offers transparency and accountability through performance tracking. MAM operates similarly but is broader, used across various financial instruments beyond forex. It enables a manager to execute trades across multiple accounts simultaneously, using flexible allocation methods and advanced risk management tools to optimize portfolio management efficiency. Both PAMM and MAM systems cater to investors seeking managed solutions with varying degrees of control and oversight.
