ACY Securities has launched PAMM Managed Funds on Tradingcup, adding pooled management alongside copy trading. Its 14 October announcement says the feature is live for ACY clients. Managers trade through one account, with gains and losses allocated according to each investor’s participation.[1]
The operating roles are separate: ACY supplies the trading accounts and execution infrastructure, Tradingcup supplies the technology, and the selected manager makes trading decisions. Copy trading instead reproduces a signal provider’s trades in individual client accounts. The pooled approach changes allocation and fee administration, as well as how clients participate in a strategy.[1]
Managers can set a performance fee of up to 50%, a minimum allocation and an opt-in term. Tradingcup calculates the fee against each participant’s personal high-water mark, so recovering an earlier loss must precede a further charge on new gains. The manager’s setup account must be active, have no open positions and meet a currency-specific starting balance: $2,000 for a US-dollar account. That balance becomes the manager’s own investment.[2]
When money can leave a managed fund
| Stage | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Opt-in period | Minimum agreed participation period; adding funds does not restart it. |
| After the term ends | Principal removal can be requested in the weekly withdrawal window; profits first settle at the following month-end. |
| Processing a removal | Available margin and the ability to reduce or close positions constrain the amount released. |
Partial withdrawals have a minimum of 50 units of the fund’s base currency and do not themselves trigger a performance-fee settlement. Applicable fees are calculated at monthly settlement or full exit. A full-exit request can leave a residual balance if some positions cannot be closed. These mechanics make the exit process more consequential than a simple allocation button suggests.[3]
Managers may also receive trading-volume rebates, according to ACY. Participants can compare drawdown, win-rate and other statistics, and review the Fund Manager Agreement and limited power of attorney before investing. These disclosures explain trading behaviour and manager compensation.[1]
New allocations are initially available for the manager to review, but automatically enter the fund after 24 hours if no action is taken. The manager cannot directly remove an individual participant. These controls define a service in which trading discretion belongs to the manager while participation and payment rules are administered through the platform.[2]
