Trading in personal account

Hi Monkeys,

Currently at a shop that doesn't allow investing into single stocks... Never knew how much I missed investing until I was prohibited, especially seeing the deals on the market currently. Question for you, does your firm allow you to invest in your own account for single stocks? Size of firm (employees / aum) would be appreciated!

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Today’s session was amazing and incredibly useful. My mentor was a massive help with both networking and interview preparation, particularly for my ongoing HSBC programme application. He helped me understand how to approach networking more effectively and gave me valuable advice on preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into helping me, and I left the session feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. As always, he was very kind, approachable and easy to speak with, which made the whole experience even better.”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“This mentor provided valuable and constructive feedback that helped me better understand how to approach interviews and identify areas for improvement. I learned how to structure my responses more effectively, communicate my strengths with greater confidence, and stop downplaying my experiences and accomplishments. The session also helped me recognize which technical topics and industry-specific questions I need to research further, allowing me to prepare more strategically for future interviews.”

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
