Why Choose Us As Your Private Bank

 

Private banking is a world apart from ordinary banking, offering choice, expertise and a high level of personal service not always available at a regular high street bank. However, when you choose Royal Bank of Canada’s Global Private Banking Network as your private bank, choice, expertise and service are just the beginning of what you’ll receive.

Choose us as your private bank and you’ll also enjoy these 7 key advantages

  • The advantage of individual attention
  • The advantage of a world-wide network
  • The advantage of proven investment strategies
  • The advantage of a complete banking and financial service, including investment advisory and a full-service investment dealer
  • The advantage and convenience of online banking
  • The advantage of peace-of-mind
  • The advantages of international wealth management

The advantage of individual attention

Every client has their own unique financial goals. And every Global Private Banking client is assigned their own dedicated Relationship Manager to help achieve them.

The first thing your Relationship Manager will do is help you determine your financial objectives. He or she will discuss with you issues such as --

  • Are you more concerned with growth or preservation of your assets?
  • What kind of income or return do you expect?
  • What is your tolerance for risk?

Depending on needs, a client may also be served by an Investment Manager or a dedicated Investment Advisor.

In addition, your Global Private Banking Relationship Manager is your link to the combined resources of Royal Bank of Canada worldwide.

The advantage of a world-wide network

As a private client, you'll have access to our financial expertise and investment advice in 25 financial centres around the world. In short, you will have an ear to the ground in the world's major financial centres. Our people know the local political and economic climate. They are able to act on timely opportunities many analysts and investors may not even be aware of.

This "local access-global presence" and our ability to leverage our combined global expertise is what makes Global Private Banking stand out from the others.

The advantage of proven investment strategies

Simply stated, our investment strategy is based on three proven principles:

  • global diversification to reduce risk and improve performance
  • a reliance on fundamentals
  • a long-term perspective

With the support of Royal Bank of Canada's financial research teams and the Bank's investment policies, we can help you identify favourable opportunities. First we choose countries with the most promising potential. Then the most promising industries. Then the most promising companies within those industries. And because of our global reach, with financial expertise resident in so many local markets, we're able to balance this top down investment approach with bottom up considerations.

In addition, we are a member of and share knowledge and expertise with one of the largest financial organizations in the world - Royal Bank of Canada.

The advantage of a complete banking
and financial service

Royal Bank of Canada's Global Private Banking network provides complete financial, banking and estate planning solutions for high net worth individuals and their families and corporations.

If you wish, we can manage all of your investments for you. Or if you manage your own portfolio and are looking for advice, we can provide a dedicated Investment Advisor and the support of a full-service investment dealer.

Through your dedicated Relationship Manager and your Investment Advisor, you’ll have access to any of our resources and services in:

It would be difficult to find another private bank that can give you access to such a wealth of global expertise and services, all through one location.

The advantage and convenience of online banking

One of our goals is to help our clients make the most of their assets. And one of the most precious assets our clients have is time. That's why we were one of the first international private banks to offer the time-saving convenience of online banking.

At present this service is only available to two client groups:

  • Clients with an Investment Advisory Account
  • Clients with banking accounts maintained with the Global Private Banking office in Jersey or the Caribbean.

However, our intention is to eventually provide all clients with the ease and flexibility of online banking throughout all the products and services provided by Royal Bank of Canada Global Private Banking, to the extent that this will be feasible.

The advantage of peace of mind

In a world filled with political and financial instability, it’s good to know you have one of the world’s largest banks looking after your financial affairs.

Royal Bank of Canada is Canada’s largest financial institution and among the top twenty in North America based upon capitalisation. It has over 70,000 employees worldwide and C$1,700 billion in assets under administration. Simply, it is one of the largest and most trustworthy financial organizations in the world.

So whether we’re managing your funds or acting as your Investment Advisor, you should be able to sleep well every night.

The advantages of international wealth management

Many experts and financial advisors believe that there is no better way for an individual or a corporation to preserve and make the most of assets and to control the transfer of assets than through international wealth management.

Some specific advantages of international wealth management include:

Reducing the impact of adverse forces. Unpredictable domestic events can affect the value of your assets, such as an unfavourable investment environment, or a volatile domestic currency.

Freedom from capital and currency restrictions. Your relationship with us can be based in a jurisdiction where there are no restrictions on the import or export of capital nor exchange control regulations.

Estate planning. When planning your estate and/or when creating a trust, an international business company can be an effective way to transfer business assets to beneficiaries in an efficient manner. Also, you may find that the transfer of an international business company's shares, rather than the assets themselves, can provide greater freedom.
