All trades for your account will be executed on the trading platform of your designated brokerage for the system of your choice.
What is a PAMM and how does it work?
As a client of Income Plus Asset Management, Inc. your account will be placed in a PAMM (Percent Allocation Management Module). This type of management account allows the trading of multiple accounts as if they were one which gives you the best entry/exit prices available. Additionally, the PAMM keeps each client's account records individually so that gains and losses can be distributed on a percentage basis such that each client receives the same percentage rate of return regardless of size of account.
Do trading fees get distributed on a percentage basis also?
Yes, all gains, losses, and trading fees are distributed on a percentage basis so that all accounts, regardless of size, obtain the same percentage returns.
Will I be able to access my account on the Internet?
Yes, you will be provided with online access to monitor your account, however that access will be "read only" meaning that you can view the account, including balances and activity, whenever you wish 24 hours a day, but you will not be able to place any trades since your account is managed completely by computer program.
Does Income Plus Asset Management, Inc. have access to my money and why do I need to sign a Limited Power of Attorney?
No, Income Plus Asset Management, Inc. does not have access to your money and cannot transfer, deposit, or withdraw your funds. Your account is set up directly with the brokerage who clears all transactions and handles all transfers, deposits, and withdrawals. It is necessary for you to sign a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) to authorize the brokerage to allow Income Plus Asset Management, Inc. to direct the trading of your account.
Does Income Plus Asset Management, Inc. invest its own money using the IPAM Managed FX Systems?

Drawdowns in your total account value at some point in time (possibly even starting the day you open your account) is not only part of the historical results but an absolutely normal part of short term active trading in the Forex. You must be willing to accept that volatility in order to achieve the extremely positive long term results that the IPAM Managed FX Systems potentially offer. (See

for details about each system's Management Fees.
