RBC Not Interested In M&A, Wealth Management Chief Says Hot
Write Review
RBC's wealth management unit is known for its well-capitalized silent parent, the Royal Bank of Canada.
But despite that kind of backing, CEO John Taft says he's switched to recruiting high-end advisors and making sure the ones he has can work more effectively.
He's not competing with the Morgan Stanleys of the world, but with the white-glove ultra-high-net-worth operations like Northern Trust and Bessemer Trust.
As a result, he says he has no interest in the kind of M&A that originally turned the unit into a $220 billion powerhouse with continent-spanning reach.
And that means we can all cross off a potential buyer for the broker-dealers that are currently out there for sale.
