TORONTO, November 8, 2018 - RBC Wealth Management (RBC) continues to earn industry recognition at recent award galas, notably for its ‘one bank’ approach and holistic wealth planning capabilities and trust services.

“There are significant opportunities to deepen relationships within our existing client base in both Wealth Management and Personal & Commercial Banking,” said Doug Guzman, Group Head, RBC Wealth Management and RBC Insurance. “We continue to launch initiatives that leverage strengths across business lines to deliver more value to our clients.”

RBC’s ongoing investment in data and digital capabilities provides a 360° view of shared clients, allowing advisors to provide more personalized and timely insights. This is an important enabler in the company’s shift towards a planning-led, discovery-based approach to servicing clients.

“Culture is one of the biggest challenges for any ‘one bank’ concept,” adds Guzman. “We address this with a Leadership Model that defines the key capabilities and behaviours that matter most for future success. Collaboration is one of those key behaviours and it underpins our holistic approach to wealth management.”

Working together across business lines, RBC Wealth Management goes beyond money management to provide clients and their families with goals-based planning, estate and trust expertise, insurance solutions and business succession planning.

Both the Banker & PWM Global Private Banking Awards and the Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards are determined through a rigorous qualitative and quantitative industry-reviewed judging process. RBC accepted the Banker & PWM Global Private Banking award at a gala in London on November 7, 2018. The three awards from Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards were accepted at a gala in Singapore on October 12, 2018.
