What is Profit Sharing?

Complete Guide to Profit Sharing

Updated over a month ago

Profit Sharing is an innovative, hands-off investment model where professional Wealth Managers trade on your behalf. Unlike Copy Trading, where you mirror another trader’s moves, Profit Sharing ensures your funds are actively managed by experienced professionals with aligned incentives.

This model eliminates the need for manual trading while providing transparency, security, and high potential returns.


How Does Profit Sharing Work?

  1. Select a Wealth Manager – Choose from a curated marketplace of professional traders vetted by Zignaly.

  2. Invest Funds – Allocate capital to your selected Profit Sharing service. No API keys or manual trade execution needed.

  3. Trading & Performance – The Wealth Manager trades using advanced strategies, aiming to maximize profits.

  4. Success Fees Apply Only on Profits – You only pay a fee when the manager generates actual gains, ensuring aligned interests.

  5. Request to Withdraw Anytime – Enjoy full control of your funds with flexible withdrawal options.

Understanding Success Fees & High Watermark System

  • Success Fees apply only when profits are made, unlike Copy Trading, which may charge fixed fees.

  • The High Watermark (HWM) ensures that you only pay fees on new profits, not past earnings.

  • Example Calculation:

    • Initial investment: $1,000

    • New balance: $1,500 → $500 profit

    • Success Fee (25%): $125 deducted from profit

    • If balance drops, you won’t pay again until new profits exceed $1,500.

Free Withdrawals

Investors can withdraw any percentage of their funds (0-100%) without penalty. However, processing time may vary based on the wealth manager's release schedule.

Investment Flexibility

  • Start with as little as 10 USDT – Low entry barriers make it accessible for all investors.

  • Reinvest or withdraw profits – Customize your strategy based on personal financial goals.

  • No lock-up periods – Withdraw funds anytime without penalties, subject to manager processing time.

Security & Risk Considerations

  • No API keys required, eliminating risks associated with Copy Trading.

  • Funds remain in Zignaly’s secure infrastructure, not individual trader accounts.

  • Wealth Managers are vetted, providing an added layer of trust and security.

  • All investments carry risk – Conduct due diligence before selecting a service.

Difference between Profit sharing and copy trading

Based on Pooled Accounts, Zignaly is a Marketplace that connects Fund Managers with Investors. The investors deposit their funds there so the wealth manager can operate, and the results are 100% identical, unlike traditional Copy Trading. With our Profit Sharing system barriers are removed, such as upfront payments, the delay between trades, and the disparity in results, which is one of the weakest points of Copy Trading, with our technology the results will be the same for everyone.

Wealth Managers

Wealth Managers play a crucial role in Profit Sharing by actively managing funds using professional strategies. Their success directly correlates with investor gains, as they only earn fees when delivering profits. Choosing an experienced Wealth Manager with a proven track record is key to maximizing returns.
