After much delay, on December 10, 2013, the banking regulators, the SEC and the CFTC issued a joint final rule implementing the ban on proprietary trading and investing in or sponsoring a private investment fund - the so-called "Volcker" rule. Banks now will need to analyze the final regulations to determine how best to comply.
