I'm told by my mother that a close member of my family who works for a large Bank in America (corporate office)claims that he is not allowed to own stocks. maybe my mother misunderstood, but that seems not right. Can it be? I can see not owning or trading the company stock, but ALL stock?

He could be in a position where it's a conflict of interest.

Some of the big banks are overly restrictive. Some only allow ownership of ETFs, mutual funds, etc.

Depending on how high up he is / what he does... there could absolutely be restrictiosn, in order to prevent conflicts of interest. For example, any business that has a relationship with the bank.

BoA tends to be overly protective, so I could absolutely see them limiting him from any direct stock ownership.

He could still own mutual funds, etfs, etc.

I could see it if he's an executive (a real executive, not a bank "AVP.")

I work for a Big Four firm. We have an ungodly amount of restrictions on owning certain equities. I have to run any purchase through our independence database before purchasing. If a company is flagged, I’m barred from owning the stock.

Same. Far easier to do mutual funds/ETFs. I have been forced to sell at loss positions before when I didn’t intend to sell.
