I'm not sure whether a difference between trading and investing is being made here. Probably yes.
I'm asking from the point of view of someone who would go long/short an ETF of the UCITS kind because of the restrictions currently imposed on me by company policy.
I assume you work in a fund manager which does not allow you to invest in individual stocks without a proper compliance procedure in place - and you are worried if you can make money with the instruments you named.
With "investor" i ment outside investor - the organization that hands your company money in exchange for fees. I understood you ment that if such company strategy would be an issue for a potential institutional investor. A clear misunderstanding - I think I was misled by the word "professional" in the first paragraph
