Personal Dealing Approval

[ddaft]

I have been asked to disclose any personal dealing accounts. The company policy is that pre-approval is required in order to buy any shares and accounts must be held with certain suppliers. Has anyone else been in this situation before?

Problem with where I work is that every time you buy or sell, you have to:

1. email the dept for approval
2. then get manager approval

This typically takes at least a day by which time you have missed out - incredibly frustrating. Also don't like mgr knowing my dealings so tend to 'forget' to tell them.....

I have a SIPP and a Trading ISA already through suppliers that aren't on this approved list and dont really want to shut them down and switch to less preferential suppliers for a contract that may only last 6 months.

Can you put them into long term investments and not trade them for 6 months?

Wait a couple of months then declare, then block and delay, then tell them it isn't worth it because you'll be leaving soon anyway. If you're a contractor on a short term contract they're unlikely to push the issue.
