  • SIFMA Statement On Guidance From Federal Reserve Regarding The Volcker Rule Conformance Period

    Date 19/04/2012

    SIFMA today issued the following statement from Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., EVP, Public Policy and Advocacy at SIFMA, on the guidance released by the Federal Reserve regarding the Volcker Rule conformance period:   

    “The clarification of the Volcker Rule conformance period which was issued today is entirely appropriate and necessary.  The industry has been concerned throughout this process over what was to be expected on July 21, 2012, and that concern was heightened as it appears likely that regulators may not be able to promulgate a final rule by that date.  Today’s guidance that firms subject to Volcker will be able to use the full two year conformance period to come into compliance with the rule as provided for by the statute is critically important because it alleviates concerns over potentially having to comply with a rule whose details had not yet been made clear." 

  • Opening Statement For Title VII Intermediaries Release — April 18, 201 By SEC Commissioner Elisse B. Walter

    Date 19/04/2012

    Who? What? When? Where? Why? The 5 W’s have guided millions of writers — from  grade school students penning their first essays to career journalists reporting  major events. While I doubt anyone believes that the Federal Register makes for  the same scintillating read as a page one news feature, I think that the 5 W’s  can be a guide for us regulators as well, focusing our task on the questions we  need to answer in our regulations and guidance. This is particularly true for  regulations under Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, as we have been tasked with  creating a regulatory regime where none previously existed — a blank page that  we need to fill.

  • US. Agencies - Volcker Rule Conformance Period Clarified

    Date 19/04/2012

    The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday announced its approval of a statement clarifying that an entity covered by section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the so-called Volcker Rule, has the full two-year period provided by the statute to fully conform its activities and investments, unless the Board extends the conformance period. Section 619 generally requires banking entities to conform their activities and investments to the prohibitions and restrictions included in the statute on proprietary trading activities and on hedge fund and private equity fund activities and investments.
