　　“Bank holding company rules are having a meaningful impact on the way foreign institutions think about having US subsidiaries, and in some cases are reconsidering and reducing their presence,” says Joo-Yung Lee, a managing director at Fitch and head of North American Financial Institutions coverage.

　　惠誉(Fitch)董事总经理兼北美金融机构业务主管Joo-Yung Lee表示：“针对持有银行的公司的规定，对外资金融机构如何看待拥有美国子公司有重大影响，某些外资金融机构在重新考虑要不要在美国开展业务，或考虑缩减在美业务。”

　　CIC, the Chinese sovereign wealth fund, has a good chance of getting a waiver from the Volcker restrictions, lawyers say, since it is simply part of central Huijin, the holding company for Chinese government stakes in the state-owned banks.

　　律师们表示，作为中国的主权财富基金，中投公司很有可能得到豁免，不必受沃尔克规则的限制，因为中投公司只不过是中央汇金(Central Huijin)的一部分，后者代表中国政府持股国有银行。

　　But if it does not, it may be forced to unload the US hedge funds in which it invests.

　　但如果中投公司未能得到豁免，它或许将被迫撤出以前投资的一些美国对冲基金。

　　After the $37bn restructuring, Citic Pacific will hold a variety of the financial units that come from its parent, including Citic Securities, which is listed in Shanghai, and Citic Bank, with over $600bn in assets as of the end of last year.

　　经过价值370亿美元的重组，中信泰富将持有来自母公司的一系列金融业务，包括在上海上市的中信证券(Citic Securities)，以及资产规模截至去年底超过6000亿美元的中信银行(Citic Bank)。

　　Meanwhile, Citic Capital, another arm of the company, is trying to change its shareholding structure to reduce the presence of Citic and CIC to avoid being considered part of a bank holding company and thus subject to constraints on raising money from US investors, the executives said.

　　与此同时，高管们表示，中信旗下另一家子公司中信资本(Citic Capital)正试图变更持股结构，减少中信和中投的持股比例，以免被视为属于一家持有银行的公司，以至于在美筹资面临限制。

　　“I don’t know why everyone doesn’t give up their bank licenses,” says one prominent New York-based lawyer who specialises in banking issues.

　　专注于银行业事务的纽约一位知名律师表示：“我不明白大家为什么不干脆放弃自己的银行牌照。”

　　“The Volcker rule is a gigantic added burden. We are telling all our clients that we can’t understand how they justify branches here now.”

　　“沃尔克规则是个巨大的额外负担。我们在对所有客户说，我们不理解他们为何还在这里维持分行。”
