JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) has went a different route than its competitors concerning the rules against retaining a proprietary trading unit, as they announced they're going to close them all down, starting with their commodities trading unit.
Most other banks affected by the so-called Volcker rule, are shuffling things around, calling it a different name, and continuing on with business as usual.
Following up the closure of their commodity unit, JPMorgan will then shut down their fixed-income and equities proprietary trading division.
Proprietary trading is a bank using their own money to make deals, and not their clients'.
