Volker Rule and Its Impact on the High Frequency Trader

Event | 07.08.10, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

This webinar is sponsored by Trading Cross Connects.

The US Congress appears ready to pass the long awaited financial regulatory overhaul bill (the “Bill”). The Bill represents the most comprehensive attempt to regulate the financial services industry since the Great Depression. The Bill contains the so-called Volcker Rule (the “Rule”), named after its original proponent former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. The Rule as originally envisioned sought to: (i) ban U.S. banks from trading financial instruments with their own capital, and (ii) required U.S. banks to give up their stakes in hedge funds and private equity funds. The Rule has been the subject of intense lobbying and negotiation. The purpose of this webinar is to review the Volker Rule and its impact on high frequency trading.

Topics Covered:

  • “Volker Rule” – is it now law?
  • How much still remains to be specified/defined and who does that?
  • Who does this apply to? What individuals and institutions are impacted?
  • How is proprietary trading defined?
  • Are there any exceptions to the definition?
  • What products/asset classes are covered?
  • How long do institutions have to comply?

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
