Chief Economist
RBC Global Asset Management Inc.
Eric Lascelles:
To me the advantage of being truly a global firm, particularly from an investing perspective is that we can add investing elements that other firms simply cannot, be it small cap equities or a global equities sleeve or some of the emerging market solutions that exist as well, having truly sophisticated people on the ground in the countries where these things happen, understanding those markets very well and that’s a huge plus that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

But when you have a global organization that, there's a lot of information flow and a collaborative culture across the different regions and geographies as well as the different asset classes, then, ultimately, you end up making better investment decisions.

Being able to access information from a wide variety of sources is a huge advantage for us. To be able to tap into all of our global investment teams provides us an even broader depth of knowledge of all the complex dynamics that are taking place in financial markets, which will give us a huge advantage over our competition.

Dominic Wallington:
There's lots of infrastructure contained within GAM that’s outside of London as well, and especially in Toronto, that we utilize on a daily basis. So, we have all the tools that are necessary I think to do the job effectively and we are part of a bigger, very strong franchise.

Ron Homer:
I’d say the global part is important, but I think what is our clients’ comfort is the reputation of RBC. It’s not only being global, but one of really caring about its reputation and serving its clients in a way that’s responsible and caring.

RBC Global Asset Management Inc.
Stu Kedwell:
The brand of RBC is spectacular, the trust and the advice that come with the brand are a huge asset. You know, for our group in particular, what I think the Royal Bank means is a commitment to resources, a commitment to process. You know, just always wanting to be on the cutting edge of what’s going on in asset management and having the resources to do it.

Daniel Chornous:
The distribution capability and the quality of the distribution capability in the retail system is really quite awesome and, we would not have grown at anywhere near this pace, even with the same investment performance that we’re so proud of, without that distribution capability.

Chief Executive Officer
RBC Global Asset Management Inc.
Damon Williams:
RBC provides a reputational strength and a financial strength that helps make us a better asset manager. The RBC brand is highly respected. It’s highly recognizable. I’ve always said that GAM is made stronger by being part of RBC. We have the risk infrastructure at RBC, we’ve got the financial strength, we’ve got the access to capital. All of those kinds of things help make us a better asset manager by being part of RBC than we would be on our own.
