Our clients are central to every decision we make. Our culture demands excellence in client service, investment management and risk management.

Client Service

As an asset manager, RBC GAM’s primary role in ensuring that the needs of clients are met is through our diverse offering of investment solutions and, in addition, our broad range of distribution options and networks. Together, these options give investors a great deal of choice in terms of the type of service model that suits them, and the investment solutions that are most appropriate given each client’s unique investment goals and objectives.

RBC GAM offers solutions and services that reflect our commitment to transparency, value and choice.  We strive to earn the opportunity to be our clients’ first choice.

RBC GAM is committed to continually innovating to enhance our solution and service offering to clients.  To this end, we leverage the depth and breadth of resources across our group of companies, investing in enhancing our capabilities, deepening our talent pool and broadening the scope of solutions we offer investors globally. Through collaboration, our global teams are able to leverage each others’ expertise in areas such as fixed income and equity research and investments, quantitative research, and alternatives, as well as proprietary analytical tools and risk management systems.

Commitment to ESG Solutions and Promoting Strong Corporate Governance

As a firm, we believe that environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) issues should be considered in the same manner as traditional financial issues in terms of their capacity to affect long-term investment performance. As a firm, we recognize that integrating ESG fundamentals into security selection creates value within the research process. Companies that manage their ESG risks and opportunities well have good ethos, build strong franchises with their employees and clients, minimize surprise and generate wealth for their investors.
