A testament to what matters most in private banking: the relationships, expertise and experience clients can count on TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RBC Wealth Management, Canada's largest full-service wealth management firm, has been named Outstanding Private Bank in three categories at the Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards: Global, North America and Growth Strategy—a mark of excellence in private banking globally. The wins extend RBC Wealth Management's streak to three consecutive years for the Global category and six for North America.

The Private Banker International Global Wealth Awards recognize institutions that deliver excellence across all dimensions of private banking. The awards recognize RBC Wealth Management's strategy of pairing a client-first approach with Canadian market leadership and continued expansion across North America and globally, reflecting its leadership across key markets: In Canada, RBC Wealth Management is the No. 1 retail mutual fund company and a leader in high-net-worth market share, with RBC Dominion Securities achieving the highest advisor rating among bank-owned investment dealers in Investment Executive's 2026 Brokerage Report Card for 20 consecutive years In the U.S. and U.K., it ranks among the top six wealth management firms by assets under administration, with U.S. earnings growing 91 per cent over five years and a client base of 320,000 households Central to the client experience is RBC Wealth Management's continued investment in the technology and tools that help advisors prioritize client relationships. In April 2026, RBC Wealth Management was recognized with two PWM Wealth Tech Awards for its AI strategy and RBC Assist, an in-house GenAI tool. The tool has been rolled out to 100 per cent of advisors, with more than 75,000 RBC employees globally now using RBC's AI platforms to improve productivity and free up time for high-value client interactions. "Wealth management is about understanding a client's life in its entirety—their family, their business and their long-term goals," said Neil McLaughlin, Group Head, RBC Wealth Management & Insurance. "Few clients today have simple needs; their wealth increasingly spans borders and generations. It's through our team of dedicated experts that we can serve their holistic needs with the kind of advice and relationships that earn trust for generations. These awards affirm we're on the right track, and the credit belongs to the advisors, private bankers and trust officers who make that experience real for the clients they serve." Looking ahead, RBC Wealth Management remains focused on deepening client relationships and investing in the talent and technology that make differentiated client experiences possible. About RBC
