I'm gonna guess these employees have a work for hire contract of some sort, so that their ideas or potentially copyrightable or patentable methods, belong to their employer.


They have one of the most onerous non-competes of any asset manager, especially for people who touch any of their strategies.


So does every large technology company including Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, etc.


As do a number of major universities (CMU, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and plenty more, I'm sure). If I had to guess, these contracts are generally a lot more prevalent in fields where people are regularly creating intellectual property.
