Hi, Is Trading & Investing in stocks banned for software engineers in JP Morgan? What about Mutual Funds, are they restricted/monitored ? Can we trade in Futures & Options ? If not equity stocks, can we trade in commodity exchange? Or maybe Forex exchange? Or Cryptos? Just want to know the boundaries of trading & investment and work accordingly! What are your experiences?

Cognizant Recently cognizant have changed their internet wfh allowance policy.we use to get 1800 per month as internet allowance without submitting any bills or transaction details. Now they changed the policy as we need to apply for icici/axis/hdfc credit card from there we need to make the transaction and reimburse the same. I am ok with everything but why i need to apply for credit card? How a company can force me to have a credit card? It will directly/indirectly alter the credit score right? Cogniza

This is the way
My hunch is that you need operating experience to be of more “substance” as a VC.. But also it feels like unfortunately the incentives of VC partners basically turns it all into a quasi-ponzi scenario in the long run atm
The top tier funds have designated deal teams, advisors, and LPs with expertise in specific sectors and functions. Many of the partners were also former founders in the specific sectors.
Problem is there’s a lot of basic influencers who label themselves as investors, can raise a little capital/have family money, and take a spray and pray approach to investing <$1m per company
Because VC funding has been commodotized and most investors lack subject matter expertise in a way they did historically.
Add to this 10yr periods to ID fund performance / who’s actually good at investing, and in the interim what you’re left with is people trying to differentiate by marketing themselves / their funds.
Also I think it’s hard to be an expert in anything when you’re getting pitched all day every day on a million different niche “disruptors.” Even if you’re an expert in something, there’s so many things you won’t know within a certain vertical.
I think investing also requires some kind of crude calculus, especially if you want to hold significant stake or board seats. You have to be more involved so that makes you way more selective in what you invest in. Everyone’s looking for a home run cause otherwise it’s not worth the time investment
It’s a function of the economic environment over the last few years where fundraising was easy and diligence was non existent. Focus on being a good investor; the fake VCs will wash out
Full stop there’s a lot of firms out there that shouldn’t exist. I’ve seen a lot of firms with 0 value add that follow on other investors. Works well in a everything up market, but it gets ugly in times like now.
You’d also be surprised at “big names” with returns that are really subpar across multiple vintages
