Hey all - question for you guys. Currently work at a BB and wanted to know what the exact restrictions were to invest on the side (stocks, ETFs, etc.) while working at a large BB firm. Is this possible? What are the exact Compliance restrictions? I did hear that you can only invest in particular stocks/sectors and that you cannot sell intraday. There is a buffer of when you can sell. Is this true?
I would appreciate if anyone can share some knowledge/details on this.
Thanks in advance.
