The Volcker rule generally prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading or having certain relationships with hedge funds or private equity funds (“[[covered fund]]s”). It applies to any entity, or any affiliate or subsidiary of an entity that is:
*A banking entity insured, or controlled by an banking entity insured, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
*A foreign bank having branch or agency in the United States.
*Any non-bank financial company designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council for supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.


The “covered fund” exemption allows in-scope entities to invest in or sponsor certain types of funds that are not considered “covered funds” under the Volcker Rule, such as:
*Foreign public funds
*Loan securitizations
*Public welfare investments
*Small business investment companies
