Managing Your Wealth Meeting your investment needs and preferences Choosing your approach to the ongoing management of your investments is an important decision. Where permitted, RBC Wealth Management offers both advisory and discretionary services based on your desired level of involvement in the day-to-day decisions affecting your portfolio. Your Approach to Investment Management Should you choose more than one investment approach, your wealth manager will ensure that the strategies are complementary and that your wealth is properly diversified by asset class, currency and geography. Whichever approach is the right one for you, RBC Wealth Management will provide the solutions and support most relevant to your needs. Advisory Investment Services n Have direct involvement in the ongoing decisions affecting your investment portfolio. n Benefit from personalized, timely and relevant advice and recommendations; however, the investment decisions affecting your portfolio will ultimately be your own. n Receive top-rated RBC and independent third-party research. n Stay up to date on issues affecting your portfolio, including market opportunities and fluctuations, with frequent communication. Discretionary Investment Services n Gain freedom from the day-to-day decisions involved in managing your investment portfolio. This may be beneficial if you travel frequently or have work or lifestyle commitments that prevent you from being actively involved in your portfolio management. n Work with one of our wealth managers to develop a customized investment strategy specifying how your portfolio should be managed. We will implement this strategy on your behalf and manage your portfolio to ensure it remains aligned with your objectives. n Benefit from a professional, disciplined approach to portfolio construction and implementation that leverages the research and support available throughout RBC Wealth Management, as well as through independent third-party money managers, as applicable. n Feel confident that your investment strategy is being implemented as desired, with regular communication and reporting. n Regularly review your investment strategy with your wealth manager to ensure that it remains accurate.

In addition, clients receiving Wealth Structuring advice through RBC Wealth Management-UK should note that such advice is offered on an independent basis. In such cases, we will advise and make a recommendation to you after we have assessed your needs.
