Portfolio Management is the process of managing financial assets in a disciplined manner while balancing both the risk and return characteristics of various portfolio components. Our approach to portfolio management is to manage each portfolio on an individual basis, thereby allowing portfolios to be designed and managed specific to your personal needs and objectives.

The gratification of wealth is not found in mere possession or in lavish expenditure, but in its wise application. ❞

RBC Capital Markets (RBC CM) Strategy is the outcome of senior representatives of the firm regularly meeting to compare and contrast their views on the investment outlook. Strategy consists of three parts:

  • First, the consensus strategy resulting from these discussions
  • Second, a series of tactics designed to capitalize on this strategy; and
  • Third, some of the working papers that guided us to our conclusions

We continue to emphasize a portfolio approach to stock selection. Our Strategy Focus List includes names that our three distinct approaches to security selection (fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis) suggest have the best return potential, given the industry exposure constraints.

Strategy Committee – RBC Dominion Securities senior investment strategists augment our advice with quarterly forecasts based on in-depth research and sophisticated analysis. Strategy committee makes recommendations on portfolio structure including:

  • The optimal mix of stocks, bonds and cash
  • Suggested terms for fixed-income investments
  • A “focus list” of top-ranked Canadian stocks collectively expected to outperform the benchmark TSX.
