The PAMM Account Ratings is a list of PAMM Accounts which includes only accounts which have been active for at least 6 months and to which investors are able to make a deposit. By default, the PAMM Account Ratings will rank PAMM Accounts based on their return over the last 6 months.

PAMM Accounts may also be ranked based on the following: Monthly Return, 3-Month Return, 6-Month Return, Yearly Return, Equity, Manager’s Capital and Popularity. You can also view the entire list.

Rate of Return:

By default, this column will show the overall return on PAMM Accounts (from the date they were opened). You may change this column to show the returns over the past month, three months, six months or one year.

If you choose to filter your results, you can enter a number into the "Rate of Return" box at the top of the column. If you enter "500," only PAMM Accounts will be shown which achieved a return of over 500 percent over the specified time period. You may enter this number with the decimal place marked by a period or a comma, with or without a percent sign. The Manager’s remuneration (bonus compensation) is not be factored into the calculation of "Rate of Return."

If you enter "500-1000" into the bar, only PAMM Accounts will be shown with a return between 500 and 1000 percent over the specified time period. You can also click on the "Rate of Return" box and choose your desired level from a drop-down list.

If you like, you can view the "Rate of Return" over different periods of time.

Return over Period:

This will show the percent profit or loss of Investors on their Managed Accounts over a specified period of time. It is calculated based on the following formula:

(P2 - P1) / P1 X 100%, where
P1 = "Share Price" at the beginning of the period
P2 = "Share Price" at the end of the period

If you enter ">500" into the "Return over Period" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown where there was a return of at least 500% over the corresponding time period. This number may be entered in any format.

Sharpe Ratio:

The "Sharpe Ratio" rating reflects the overall return of the PAMM Account, adjusted for risk (by factoring in volatility). It is the ratio of the expected value of the daily return to its standard deviation. When you enter a value into this field (as a percentage), all accounts for which the "Sharpe Ratio" rating is below this value will be filtered out.

If you enter "10" into the "Sharpe Ratio" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown with a Sharpe Ratio of 10% and higher. You can also click on the "Sharpe Ratio" box and choose your desired level from a drop-down list.

You can also view this rating over the past year, 6 months, 3 months, or month.

Volatility:

The average of all recorded levels of daily return (both profits and losses) since the account was opened, taken in modulus (losses are figured into the calculation as positive values). If you enter "50" into the "Volatility" box, only PAMM Accounts with a "Volatility" rating of 50% or lower will be shown ("<=50"). You can also view "Volatility" over a period of one year, six months, three months or one month or click on the "Volatility" box and select your desired level of "Volatility."

Maximum Drawdown:

The "Maximum Drawdown" rating tells you the maximum amount you could have lost by investing in a particular PAMM Account (from the date it was opened). It is measured as the distance between a maximum point and a minimum point following the maximum point on the "Rate of Return" chart in the PAMM Account Monitoring.

When you enter "50" into the "Maximum Drawdown" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown with a "Maximum Drawdown" rating of 50% and lower ("<=50%"). You can also view "Maximum Drawdown" over a period of one year, six months, three months, or one month.

Maximum Profit:

"Maximum Profit" is the maximum return on investment you could have achieved by investing in a PAMM Account (from the date it was opened). It is calculated as the distance between a minimum point and a maximum point following the minimum point on the "Rate of Return" chart in the PAMM Account Monitoring.

If you enter "50" into the "Maximum Profit" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown with a "Maximum Profit" rating of 50% or higher (">=50%"). You can also view "Maximum Drawdown" over a period of one year, six months, three months, or one month.

Recovery Factor:

"Recovery Factor" shows the relationship between the current rate of return on a PAMM Account with the "Maximum Relative Drawdown" (from the date the account was opened). It is calculated based on the data in the daily Monitoring.

If you enter "10" into the "Recovery Factor" box, only PAMM Accounts will be shown with an overall "Recovery Factor" rating of 10 and higher (">=10"). You can also view "Recovery Factor" over a period of one year, six months, three months, or one month.
