Stewardship

Our Commitment to Responsibly Managing Our Clients’ Assets

Our first priority is responsibly managing the financial assets you entrust to us — helping you more effectively manage your wealth and achieve your financial goals. As a client of RBC Wealth Management, you can expect to be treated with the honesty and respect you deserve by a firm you can depend on.

Our stewardship commitment extends beyond helping you manage your wealth to something CEO John Taft calls the Second Golden Rule: leaving the world a better place than you found it. This deep sense of duty to our clients, communities, employees and the environment is part of a larger corporate value system that drives every decision we make and guides every action we take.
