Dodd-Frank / Volcker Rule
"As part of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act of 2010), Volcker Rule asserts full institutional separation of investment banking services from commercial banking."
This claim in the lead is incorrect and I think should be eliminated.
First, investment banking is not fully institutionally separated from commercial banking. JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America and other companies currently contain both functions in a single institution.
Second, the Volcker Rule limits proprietary trading (which is not an integral function to investment banking). It does not separate investment banking from commercial banking.
Unless someone defends/revises this statement, I plan to delete it.
Dodd Frank and Volcker Rule had a huge impact on ib especially for depository banks like JPM and BAML which happen to be the top investment banks aside from GS MS Perella etc so definitely should be relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fghkkjypoifty (talk • contribs) 18:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
