Is there any personal trading restrictions at State Street? I am in process to get interviewed with one of the role in state street and I want to know if there are any restrictions to trade or do we need to get approval before buy/sell any individual equities. We have that crappy process at Deutsche Bank and it is so killing.
BNY Mellon is a competitor and they do not have any trading restrictions, surprisingly.
It is division wise, fortunately. There’s a 3 tier system for PIP (personal investment policy). If your business division is put in Tier 3 bucket then you’re free to do anything you want (except shorting STT and similar restrictions concerning STT) as long as you have your brokerage electronically connected sending your trade info over to compliance.
Thanks for the info. How do I know if my division is part of which tier? Is there any internal portal where we can verify? I might be joining them soon and would like to check as soon as I join.
I’m surprised your hiring manager did not inform you or you haven’t asked, yet. Simply ask them and they’ll tell you. I’m not aware if there’s really any internal portal; we were just informed at the end of 2019 via email (that’s when these tier system went into effect company wide).
You need approvals for trading when managing your own investments. Crypto, however, is not regulated so you can self-manage crypto investments on whichever wallet you prefer. Buy/sell whenever without needing to do any global attestation or seek permission ahead of time
How do they know for sure if you don't disclose?
How do they know for sure if you trade on a different account?

most likely yes
In Some financial intuitions like JPM, BOA the restrictions are only on people who work on trading, investment or other business segments. Typically other Software Engineers & Operations folks won't have those restrictions. Whereas in Deutsche Bank everyone in the bank have to get approval (even the Janitor, if he is full time) before buy/sell equities. Was wondering if State Street have division wide restriction or entire organization wide.
same for any big 4(covered persons) but not for congress
