The Volcker Rule was introduced as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, aimed at preventing excessive risk-taking by banks that benefit from government backing. This regulation specifically restricts banks from engaging in proprietary trading and limits their investment in hedge funds and private equity. It seeks to protect consumers and the broader financial system by ensuring that financial institutions operate with greater caution and accountability.
