Has anyone ever worked for an investment management company? I have an offer for a job at one and the rules are crazy. It says I have to get every trade I do pre-approved. Is this normal?

Yes it is normal.
Trading rules for investment management employees typically prohibit them from trading securities while in possession of "material non-public information" (MNPI), meaning confidential information that could significantly impact a company's stock price, effectively preventing insider trading; this often includes blackout periods around earnings releases, and requires employees to disclose all personal trades to their firm for monitoring and compliance purposes.

Yea, I have blackout periods at my company now but I don’t have to get trades pre-approved.

Pretty sure that is required by the SEC so assume it is normal

Yeah it's not really up for debate. If your company ISN'T making you get every trade pre-approved then they are definitely in for some deep trouble at some point

I assume some firms will really go above and beyond when it comes to compliance issues. It's conceivable they've been burned in the past. And it's likely they're fixated on avoiding even the appearance of impropriety.

It is required by SEC. It is not because some firms are concerned about appearance

You may have one gratis "trade" that u did not clear but do it again and you will be reported to the SEC screwing yourself for ALL jobs in the future.

Yesh

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
