Performance fee definition
The profit share that the investor pays to the money manager in accordance with the relevant proportion when making a profit. The profit share that the money manager receives from the investor account is transferred to the fund manager's own account. Performance fees will be paid to the money manager upon completion of the transaction to prevent investors from withdrawing funds in advance. If the investor's account has a loss during the current trading period, there is no need to pay the money manager. These losses will be transferred to the next trading period, and the money manager must make up for these losses in order to receive performance fees. Performance fees may depend on the total amount of funds or the rate of return for each investor.
Performance fee calculation mode
There are two calculation modes for performance fees, based on earnings or based on the net worth of investors. You can set a single-level performance fee, or you can set a multi-level performance fee.
Performance rate example 1 based on yield
When the trading period is the total period and the time interval (1 hour) is the time-weighted rate of the sub-period less than 10%, the performance fee paid to the money manager is 0%. Time-weighted yield >=10%, <20%, performance fee is 20%. When the rate of return is>=40%, the performance fee is 50%.
Performance Rate Example 2 is based on investor net worth
When the investor's net investment amount is less than 1000 USD, the performance fee is 50%. The net value is 40% between 1000USD and 5000USD; the net value is 30% between 5000USD and 10000USD; when the net value is above 10000 USD, the performance fee is 15%.
Investor
The role of the MT4/MT5 trader who invested his/her own funds (from his/her MT4/MT5 account) in a particular Money Manager’s PAMM account based on the Offer and expects that the Money Manager’s trading activity will generate profit from his/her Investment.
