The Advisor Account

 

For all your investment needs

 

The Advisor Account is a special type of investment account designed to complement our portfolio approach to investing. With the Advisor Account, you can plan, implement and make adjustments to your investment portfolio as needed. You work directly with a professional Investment Advisor, and you are backed by the strength, security and resources of RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Canada’s leading full-service investment firm.

Best of all, the Advisor Account offers the simplicity of paying one annual fee, rather than paying commissions on individual transactions. It’s ideal for investors who follow the portfolio approach and would prefer to focus on achieving their overall financial goals—and not on individual transaction costs.

With the Advisor Account, you have access to all the investment and financial services we
offer. Working in partnership with your Investment Advisor, you can take advantage of our portfolio planning and implementation skills, our investment research and strategy, plus our evaluation and monitoring tools—all for an asset-based price.

Partnership, investment process and convenience are just a few of the reasons why Canadian investors like you have chosen the Advisor Account.
 

The freedom to live the life you want

If you desire greater freedom to focus on what’s really important to you, and the confidence of knowing that your portfolio is in the care of trusted professionals, we invite you to consider Private Investment Management, our premium level of discretionary wealth management. 

Busy professionals and executives, travelers, retirees and snowbirds often find that the greater their wealth, the more time they require every day to manage it. If you are responsible for investing for a not-for-profit organization, foundation or endowment, you may also find that the expertise required to make investment decisions according to specific guidelines can be time-consuming and complex. 

Whether you need your time to focus on your career, manage the needs of an organization or travel outside of the country for long periods, Private Investment Management may be the right solution for you.

How it works

By delegating your investment management to an accredited portfolio manager, who works within your specific investment preferences, constraints and risk tolerance, you can free yourself from and still be confident that your investment plan is on track. Because your approval is not required for every single transaction, we can make time-sensitive decisions quickly, helping you get closer to your investment objectives and freeing you from the burden of daily portfolio decisions. 

A dedicated portfolio manager to serve you 

You can be confident in the management of your wealth, because only experienced investment advisors who have met strict industry-wide qualifications for education, assets under management and investment experience are licensed to provide this level of discretionary investment management. 

Investment policy statements capture your needs

The Investment Policy Statement is your specific mandate that details all your objectives, goals and constraints in managing your portfolio. You can think of it as the charter or master plan that we create to manage your portfolio.

Essential standards for quality and oversight

Every portfolio we build is based on core asset quality requirements that set the standards for security concentration, industry and sector diversification, market capitalization and credit quality. An additional Portfolio Implementation and Risk Monitoring Group monitors the portfolio for alignment with our investment management guidelines and the preferences, constraints and other unique directives set out in your customized Investment Policy Statement. An additional compliance team ensures that your portfolio meets industry regulations and legal standards. By auditing our work, as well as the portfolios we manage, this team can help provide you with even greater peace of mind.
