Blueberry offers MAM (Multi-Account Manager) and PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) accounts for clients who want their funds professionally managed. Both are managed account solutions used in forex trading, but they operate differently.

MAM vs PAMM — Key Differences

MAM

(Multi-Account Manager)

PAMM

(Percentage Allocation Management Module)

Definition

A structure that allows a professional trader (fund manager) to manage multiple sub-accounts at the same time.

A structure where investors allocate funds to a professional trader who manages their pooled trading activity.

Trade Allocation

Trades are distributed across sub-accounts based on each account’s share of total equity.

Profits and losses are shared proportionally among investors based on their equity share.

Investor Control

Investors’ accounts are linked to the manager’s master account. The manager makes all trading decisions.

Investors retain full control over their investment and can withdraw their funds anytime.

Withdrawals

Investors can only withdraw funds when permitted by the fund manager.

Investors can withdraw funds at any time.

Typical Users

Money managers with multiple client accounts.

Individual investors seeking passive management of funds


Applying for a MAM/PAMM Account

  • Fund Managers: To set up a MAM or PAMM, you’ll need at least $5,000 USD (or equivalent) in pooled funds and to bring your own clients.

  • Investors: If you’d like to join a MAM/PAMM but don’t know any fund managers, Blueberry can connect you with long-standing managers. However, we do not recommend or endorse specific managers — the choice is yours.


Key Points to Remember

  • All fund managers and investors must complete individual onboarding and KYC before joining a MAM/PAMM.

  • Access to MAM/PAMM accounts is provided via a secure portal link, sent by email.
