How far would you go with this policy? Should politician's adult children, along with the spouses, be included too?
Perhaps a better way is if there is a perceived conflict of interest the spouse that is in politics should excuse themselves from any discussion or decision making with regards to that.

Well the adult child would be discretionary management, so its a non-factor. Bottom line is that people with inside information can't be sharing it so that other people are making investment decisions on said information. I have no doubt it happens, but I haven't seen evidence that suggests our current government has been involved in any way. I think that those who read my posts in the political threads recognize that I would be all over them if I could find a reason!
