Goldman Sachs has implemented a trading restriction for employees across its financial divisions. The policy targets political and financial prediction markets, covering contracts tied to specific event outcomes.
The firm introduced the measure as participation in prediction platforms continues to expand. Staff members must now review their positions in these instruments against updated compliance guidelines. The restriction applies to agreements where settlement depends on external results rather than traditional asset performance.
Internal risk management procedures now require additional oversight for trades involving event-driven contracts. Employees are instructed to verify their holdings before engaging in further prediction market activity.
