Setting up a Blind Trust to avoid getting looked down upon for having large portfolio as an analyst

I'm a second year IB analyst at a boutique (did one year at a BB). Our small bank, less than 20 bankers, don't really have an HR department and all brokerage statements go through the executive assistant to the President. I have a large portfolio (I'm only 23) and don't want people in the office knowing my business, nor do I want the president to cap my performance bonus based on knowing I have money (This is something he would do).

Does anyone know if setting a blind trust up and moving all assets from my main brokerage into it would avoid the need to declare these assets. I would have a financial advisor be the trustee. Please advise!
