bruh ask your compliance. why would strangers on WSO have the answer to this
cos some of you autistes are compliance
I cant ask compliance because I want to circumvent disclosing
Not a good idea buddy. They can figure that shit out
Why would you do that?
You are willing to risk your job to trade outside the limits your firm provides? If there is that much money on the table then quit your job and do it full time. If not, just know you will most likely be fired, and the chances of getting fired go up significantly if you are actively trying to bypass the rules.
Please just look at the risk vs reward before doing something stupid.
We have to disclose positions annually and get pre approval for any individual securities. ETFs and CIS are fine to trade without approval but still need to be included within the annual disclosure.
Have to disclose quarterly. ETFs free to trade
When getting approval prior to trade, do you need to specify quantity alongside the stock you’re looking to buy? Seems a bit odd for compliance to know the amount you’re looking to invest.
Yeah you do in my firm. I don’t like having to disclose it as word gets round. I remember hearing about a couple of PM personal trades that were a few hundred K PS in size
Yeah, not ideal. Especially if your investments perform well and you want to keep it lowkey - there will always be someone in compliance who 'saw someone put in a 1000 unit trade for TSLA back in 2019'.
yeah
