Investors, Take Heed!

If you invest your funds outside our PAMM-account structure, you are taking on extra non-trading risks.

For example, a trader opens a PAMM-account, shows high returns in a short period of time and attracts investors. After this, the trader contacts his investors and suggests they invest funds into a different scheme that is not connected to Alpari's PAMM-account structure. In the case that the Investor agrees, he is taking on non-trading risks such as deviation from trading terms and conditions, irregular payments of profit etc.

We strongly recommend that you abstain from transferring funds into someone else's accounts, no matter what profits you might expect.

We also do not recommend giving your Manager access to your account, and in no circumstances whatsoever, access to your Personal Area.

Keep in mind that within the PAMM-account structure, Investors are completely free from non-trading risks and also receive a guarantee from the Manager of his adherence to all the terms and conditions specified in the Manager Proposal.

Please invest your funds in PAMM-accounts with longstanding trading histories, which are viewable in Monitoring.
