# PAMM vs MAM vs Copy Trading: What's the Difference for Brokers?

By Broker White Label Solutions Team · Published 9 September 2025 · Updated 18 October 2026 · 6 min read

**Quick answer**

PAMM pools investors' funds and shares results by percentage; MAM lets a money manager trade many separate accounts with individual allocations; copy trading lets investors automatically mirror a strategy provider's trades in their own account. Brokers often offer all three to serve different investor types.

|  | PAMM | MAM | Copy trading |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Account structure | Pooled | Separate accounts | Separate accounts |
| Who trades | Manager | Manager | Strategy provider; copied automatically |
| Investor control | Low | Medium | High (start/stop, risk limits) |
| Typical fees | Performance, management | Performance, management | Performance or subscription |

## Which should a broker offer?

PAMM and MAM suit investors who prefer professional management. Copy trading suits self-directed clients who want to learn and stay in control. Offering both widens your audience.
