Personal Portfolio in IB

Hey everyone What are the restrictions on personal portfolios when you are working on the IBD? Can you only hold funds and ETFs? Or can you buy individual stocks if you fill some paper work justifying the reason? I assume that most IBD personnel have little time to do proper DD to cherry pick stocks or do a considerable number of trades throughout the year.
