How does ACM make money?
Since we do not charge commissions or any administration fees the question of how ACM clears a profit eventually arises.

What happens to my position once I have entered the market with ACM?

Once you have undertaken a position, ACM will proceed in one of the following manners:

1) STP (Straight Through Processing) 90 % of the time, our trading volumes go directly to one of our major liquidity providers. This means that when you are trading with ACM your trades are automatically processed with our processing partner bank. These liquidity providers are, in the case of ACM, Major Swiss Banks. This, among other benefits, guarantees you correct pricing and constant liquidity at all times.
2) ACM also builds up an overall position (deal book) of all its customers' transactions in different currencies and in different directions. ACM can therefore also “match” client orders and positions between themselves.
3) ACM can also build up its market position and gradually hedge any risk that position exposes them to with institutional counter-parties. In that respect ACM operates very much like the dealing and treasury department of a large institutional bank.

So how does ACM clear a profit while offering a spread of only 3 pips?

- Simply, ACM acts like a wholesaler. As you would go to a supermarket to get better prices than at your local grocery shop, ACM works very much in the same way. ACM regroups, thousands of clients therefore creating a huge amount of trading capital and volume. With this trading capital and volume, ACM is able to negotiate excellent interbank conditions with its liquidity providers. The result is that if ACM can offer 3 pips to its client it means that its liquidity providers are offering ACM less than 3 pips. These conditions are achievable only by guarantying Billions in monthly volumes to our counter parties.

- ACM has, by its policy, decided to attract a greater amount of clients wishing to take advantage of ACM’s exceptional trading conditions. ACM therefore prefers to earn less per each individual transaction and to compensate by a larger market share and higher volumes.
