RBC Capital Markets

RBC Capital Markets is the investment-banking and capital-markets arm of Royal Bank of Canada, whose corporate history traces back to the founding of Merchants’ Bank in Halifax in 1864. It operates as part of one of Canada’s largest banking groups, giving its teams access to a broad balance sheet and banking platform.

The firm provides global investment banking, corporate banking, debt and equity capital markets, sales and trading, research, sustainable finance and municipal finance services. Its clients include corporations, institutional investors, asset managers, private-capital firms and governments.

Its clearest strength is Canada, where it has repeatedly ranked as the leading investment bank and remains particularly strong in debt capital markets. It also has a substantial international platform, with 55 offices in 16 countries and more than 7,600 professionals across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
