Debating the Volcker Rule

Financial Services & E-Commerce Practice Group Teleforum

Last week, U.S. banking regulators issued the 900-page Volcker Rule. The rule, long under consideration, is designed to limit proprietary trading - investment banks’ speculative trading for their own gains and their participation in hedge funds. Our experts will debate the scope of the Volcker Rule, and its anticipated benefits and drawbacks.

Featuring:

  • Timothy Keehan, Vice President & Senior Counsel, Center for Securities, Trust and Investments, American Bankers Association
  • Dr. Marcus Stanley, Policy Director, Americans for Financial Reform
