1) when is personal trading disclosure required? what if you work for a strict-mandate us long/short equity fund, and you want to trade an indian stock; are you required to disclose?

2) and from the Code of Profl Conduct standpoint - is a firm required to have a trading policy or is it just suggested? it says "mangers must not execute in the same security prior to client transactions", but does it mandate a policy for employee disclosure?

3) you're an asset manager - are you required to disclose to clients, employer, or both:
a) that you also bag groceries at kroger at night to make ends meet?
b) that you do part time consulting projects for small businesses to help evaluate their business models
c) that one client has offered a small incentive bonus if you exceed a performance threshold? (do you need to disclose to other clients AND employer?)
d) an employee policy that the asset manager in a firm with the best performance will be promoted?
