Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) stands as a cornerstone of Canada’s financial landscape, tracing its roots back to 1864.
With headquarters in Toronto, RBC has expanded globally, serving over 16 million clients in over 35 countries.
RBC operates through five main segments:
- Personal & Commercial Banking
- Wealth Management
- Insurance
- Investor & Treasury Services
- Capital Markets.
While some broad principles like long-term focus and diversification apply to all sectors, it’s crucial to remember that the banking sector has unique characteristics and risks:
- Regulation: Banks are heavily regulated, which can impact their profitability and growth potential – from September 2014 to January 2016 (by nearly 40%) owing to the implementation of stricter capital requirements by Canadian regulators.
- Economic sensitivity: Bank performance is closely tied to the overall economic climate, making them more susceptible to economic downturns – the fall of RBC’s share in 2002 (nearly 40%), in 2008 (by 65%), and then in 2019-20 (again by 40%).
- Interest rates: Fluctuations in interest rates can significantly affect bank profitability. From January 2016 to January 2018, RBC’s share price increased by nearly 90%, and higher interest rates generally translated to better profit margins for banks.
