Writing the next chapter of growth

Royal Bank of Canada draws on five decades of regional experience and a global network to help clients navigate the complexities of managing wealth and capital

Marking 50 years in Singapore, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is ramping up its capabilities to meet the changing needs of clients while preparing for the next phase of its growth in the region.

This milestone comes at a time when rising market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty have led clients to place greater emphasis on counterparty strength and stability.

Mr Rod Ireland, head of Wealth Management Asia and Global Markets APAC at RBC, says: "In a period of heightened uncertainty, clients are being far more selective about who they trust. Our AA rating and global systemically important bank designation offer a level of reassurance that's becoming increasingly important."

For many families and entrepreneurs in Asia, managing wealth and capital across borders has become more complex than ever. From succession planning and asset protection to navigating currency risks and cross-border financing, they are facing a growing number of challenges.

In this environment, clients are looking for experienced advice and coordinated execution to meet their financial objectives.

"Whether we're supporting clients through wealth management or capital markets, we focus on being a reliable long-term partner, offering sound guidance and delivering consistent results," explains Mr Ireland.

Founded in 1864, RBC is Canada's largest bank by both assets and market capitalisation, and ranks among the world's top 15 banks. It serves over 19 million clients and is a market leader in capital markets and wealth management in North America.
