Overview:
In fall of 2019, a final rule to amend the “Volcker Rule” was approved by the Federal Reserve Board and other agencies charged with implementing the Volcker Rule. In January 2020, the agencies proposed further revisions to the covered funds provisions of the Volcker Rule, requesting comment by April 1, 2020.
As highlights of the new provisions follow, regulatory and compliance issues concerning the rule are expected to arise. Thus, it is imperative for banking entities to be in the know of significant changes and proposed revisions.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments of the Volcker Rule amendments. Speakers will also present key issues and provisions surrounding this topic along with the best compliance strategies.
Key topics include:
- Volcker Rule Final and Proposed Revisions – Proprietary Trading and Covered Funds
- Implications for U.S. and Non-U.S. Banking Entities
- Regulatory and Compliance Issues
- Best Compliance Strategies
- Outlook
