<p>Are you a successful CFD or Forex trader and looking to start a Forex Fund? There are some important factors to consider before you start your fund.</p> <p>Starting a forex fund to manage your money and the money of others is possible and the tools available make it more accessible than ever before. ACY Securities provides you with a wide range of support options and technologies to kick-start your career. But the trading is on you!</p> <p>In some countries, starting a foreign exchange fund is harder than in other countries.</p> <p>In Australia for example, you need to have an Australian Financial Service License (AFSL) issued by <a href="https://asic.gov.au/">ASIC</a>. You also need to appoint lawyers and accountants to get the best structure for your <a href="/blog/what-is-forex-managed-fund">Forex managed fund</a>. Not to mention, there are many more legal measures to consider.</p> <p>If you already hold an AFSL within Australia, then the process requires considerably fewer steps.</p> <p>However, if you are based outside of Australia, then the process is more streamlined, although still requires a number of important checks before going live.</p> <p>No matter which country you are looking to start your Forex trading business, the number one criterion is to have a strategy that is appealing to others. You don’t need to have a <a href="/blog/high-return-forex-managed-account">high return forex managed account</a> instead, you should be generating steady returns while minimizing drawdowns.</p> <p>With your forex trading strategies in place, ACY Securities takes care of the brokerage account, and fund accounting and we even help with fund marketing.</p> <h3>Getting access to the Multi-Account Management System</h3> <p>No matter if you are based in Europe, the Middle East, or South East Asia, our process starts with access to our <a href="/blog/what-is-a-mam-account">Multi-Account Management system</a> (MAM).</p> <p>Successful traders based in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and many other regions are allowed to have access to our MAM systems without the requirement of having a financial services or money management license.</p> <p>There are limitations to the scalability you can achieve without having a proper license, as clients search for safety and credibility.</p> <p>But if the funds are held with ACY Securities, then you can leverage our banking relationships and infrastructure.</p> <p>Your funds and your clients’ funds are held in bank accounts segregated from our business accounts, with top tier 1 banks such as the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and with DBS Bank in Hong Kong.</p> <h3>Wide range of asset classes available to trade</h3> <p>When you have access to our MAM system, it means you can trade multi-assets, such as:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://acy.com/en/products/forex">Forex</a></li> <li>Cryptocurrencies</li> <li><a href="https://acy.com/en/products/commodities">Commodities</a></li> <li><a href="https://acy.com/en/products/indices">Indices</a></li> <li><a href="https://acy.com/en/products/shares">Share CFDs</a>&nbsp;listed on the ASX, NYSE, and all Nasdaq</li> <li><a href="https://acy.com/en/products/etfs">Exchange-Traded Funds</a>&nbsp;(ETFs)</li> </ul> <p>If you are after choice, then our range of Forex markets will be well suited to the diversity you require.</p> <h3>Allocation methods under our MAM system</h3> <p>Our MAM system offers more than 10 <a href="/blog/mam-account-allocation-methods">allocation methods</a> including <a href="/blog/mam-vs-pamm">PAMM</a>, which is considered the most popular allocation method in the world of money management.</p> <p>In addition to the gains you make from your trading, Fund Managers normally benefit from performance fees and management fees, in addition to spreads rebates.</p> <p>As a result, you have the opportunity of multiple income streams.
