Helping You Make Informed Decisions

Making sense of today's ever-changing financial markets isn't easy. But having the right perspective on where the markets are going - and how that affects your portfolio - is essential to succeed as an investor.

Helping us provide the perspective you need is our RBC Investment Strategy Committee, which is comprised of our senior economists, portfolio strategists and research analysts. After considering investment research and economic analysis, the Strategy Committee makes recommendations on portfolio structure for the coming 12 months, including:

  • The optimum mix of stocks, bonds, and cash

  • Suggested term for fixed-income investments

  • A "focus list" of top-ranked Canadian stocks collectively expected to outperform the benchmark TSX

To help provide you with well-informed advice, we also have access to research from several leading firms.

  • Industry-leading RBC Capital Markets cover close to 700 companies in all major industry sectors in North America 

  • Independent Veritas provide in-depth reports on major Canadian companies exclusively to RBC Dominion Securities

  • Several leading U.S. investment firms like Standard & Poor's offer coverage of companies around the world

These resources along with our many years of experience help to provide you with what you need. Be sure to take a look at the daily market commentary .
