Named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, the Volcker Rule is Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The rule contains two primary components:

a prohibition on proprietary trading, with allowances for activities such as market-making, underwriting and the hedging and trading of government securities
a prohibition on investing in or sponsoring hedge funds and private equity funds.
