With the large sizes of JPM and GS's hedge funds, there will certainly be an outsized impact on those two should the Volcker Rule find a place in Congress' financial reform bill. Though, GS would probably just flip to a complete hedge fund while JPM may have to spin off its funds. It is amazing to think hedge funds control nearly half a trillion dollars in wealth.
