Our relationship with you
The essence of a trust or other fiduciary solution is RBC’s relationship with you. While the "trust" relationship is legally between RBC (as the trustee) and your named beneficiaries, we place great importance on the broader relationship between RBC and you and your family. In many cases, this relationship lasts across many generations.
International expertise and recognition
Administering trusts and other fiduciary solutions requires expertise not only in these fields, but also in the related areas of estate, tax and succession planning, and the laws applicable in both the jurisdiction where the trust was created and the jurisdiction(s) in which the parties who benefit from it reside.
We are one of the world's largest trust services providers, with an international reputation for excellence in our trustee services.
Globally, we employ approximately 750 dedicated client-facing trust professionals with an in-depth understanding of the implementation and day-to-day operation of trust, company and other fiduciary structures as well as related tax issues, regulatory concerns and legislation affecting these.
Access to external advisors and specialists
We have an established and successful history of partnering with professional advisors such as tax specialists and accountants to develop effective solutions for our clients. Should their services be of value to you, they will work alongside our trust professionals as well as your own tax or legal advisors to meet your needs.
Structures for a wide range of trust assets
Some trustees accept only conventional trust assets such as bank accounts and investment portfolios. Because we don't place restrictions on asset classes, we can develop solutions that hold assets such as real estate, private companies, art, yachts and more. At RBC, we have the expertise, the experience and the infrastructure to properly act on and administer such assets in trust under our care.
Multi-jurisdictional expertise
Our expertise encompasses both common law and civil law jurisdictions. This is a distinct advantage if your capital or income crosses borders or if family members live in more than one country.
We operate in most of the top tier financial centres in the world in terms of financial, professional and legal infrastructure; reputation; and quality of trust services. Our international trust subsidiaries are located in the Bahamas, Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Hong Kong, London and Delaware (USA). We also administer multi-jurisdictional trusts from our offices in Switzerland.
Access to third-party solutions
While we are an integrated provider of wealth management solutions, we are happy to work alongside any third-party providers. This "open architecture" philosophy, which is reflected throughout our organization, allows us to build closer relationships with our clients and offer them the best solutions available whether those solutions are third-party or in-house.
Growth
RBC has always been committed to strengthening out trust capability, not only through the development of our systems, resources and people, but also through the acquisition of other leading trust companies, including Ernst and Young's trust businesses in Jersey and Guernsey, in 1999 and 2000 respectively, Abacus Financial Services Group Limited in 2005 and American Guaranty & Trust in 2006.
