I don't know how much your HF would care if you traded air conditioning

there are some exceptions but in general the rules will be similar to a bank where you have a holding period, have to disclose everything, etc. I have heard of a couple of funds where everybody trades their PA right from there desk but its becoming more and more rare. Where I work there is a long minnimum holding period for any investments and they have robust disclosure rules...i basically have to get HR to approve anything I do and its a pain in the ass.

 

trade under your moms Air conditioning...lol and friends of friends and split the profits

Definitely allowed. Of course there's compliance, approvals that need to be met, but once you clear that hurdle you're good to go.

 

1) talk to compliance

2) at my fund you had to jump through so many hoops, it wasn’t feasible trading individual equities. They have name restrictions (which they can say no to without explanation) and holding period restrictions. 
3) if you’re at a hedge fund you’re technically already exposed to trading equities (assuming that’s the asset class) by virtue of working for a fund. Why would you want to double down ?
