Employers investment policy for employee and their family members


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An individual joining a consulting firm that prohibits employees and their families from direct stock market trading faces a dilemma. Their family members actively invest and trade stocks. The discussion explores legal and manageable options for the family to continue their investments, such as forming a partnership firm or HUF, where stocks can be held in partner accounts and trading can occur under the firm's name. While a partnership is suggested as a viable route, consulting the company for explicit permission is advised, as partnerships might still be viewed as direct investment.
