The Dodd-Frank Act represents the most sweeping regulatory changes to the U.S. financial system in decades. And the biggest changes of all will likely be brought about by the Volcker Rule.
Named after the former Fed chairman, the Volcker Rule will ban banks from proprietary trading. But how regulators define prop trading is likely to change the way the buy side trades and reshape the future of the Street. Advanced Trading's July digital issue takes an in-depth look at how sell-side firms are preparing for the Volcker Rule and provides some insights into what it all might mean for the buy side.
