Become an Investment Advisor
 
We’re always looking for new and experienced Investment Advisors
 
If you are an Investment Advisor or a professional in the financial services industry, are passionate about investments and wealth management or have been a standout in sales and relationship management, we’d like to meet you.
 
No firm can offer you more advantages than RBC Dominion Securities. You’ll grow your business, expand your financial expertise and help some of our 400,000 reach their personal and life goals.
 
Along with a team of hundreds of regional and head office resources, and a proven training program, we are completely dedicated to supporting the growth of our advisors’ businesses.
 
What makes RBC Dominion Securities different?
 
Non-producing management
 
As non-producing managers, we treat our advisors like our clients. This eliminates many conflicts of interest. Rather than your competitor, a DS manager is an ally who helps you grow.
 
Trust factor
 
RBC is the most trusted financial institution in Canada. Clients feel comfortable and secure dealing here.
 
Expert local support
 
Investment Advisors are busy people. We employ Financial Planners, Will and Estate Lawyers, Insurance Consultants, and High-Net Worth Tax Experts who meet with advisors and their clients to provide a boutique experience that is beyond their expectations.
 
Expert head office support
 
We have by far the largest staff of experts ready to offer assistance and support to Advisors, including:
 
  • Equity Portfolio Advisory Group - eleven equity analysts who support only DS Advisors
  • Fixed Income Portfolio Advisory Group - fourteen fixed-income product and strategy advisors
  • Financial Planning Support Team - ten accountants and lawyers taking your planning, estate and tax questions
  • Financial Planning Analysts - eighteen financial planners and tax advisors preparing financial plans in head office.
  • Financial Planning Software Support - five financial planning software experts to help you with usage questions.
  • Managed Product Helpdesk and Product Managers - eight experts on our suite of managed investment products and wealth management solutions.
  • Business Development - ten marketing professionals to help Advisors create websites, design marketing materials, and build lists.
  • Business Application Specialists - ten on-site technology trainers to help you set up your desktop and maximize efficiencies.
  • Financial Advice Library - over 400 client-friendly articles and brochures written by our tax and planning experts
 
Innovative products
 
We have created innovative off-the-shelf products that allow us to provide our clients with simple Family Trusts, Charitable Foundations, IPPs, RCAs, and more. These are in addition to our industry-leading suite of managed investment options.
 
Guided portfolio process
 
Our Guided Portfolio investment management process is the envy of the industry. Our Canadian equity focus list has an outstanding 23-year track record. As of Jan 31, 2009, it boasts a pre-fee annualized return of 15.8% since inception, outperforming the TSX index by 7.3% per year. Performance like that is a powerful calling card.
 
Discretionary management
 
Our Private Investment Management program allows qualified advisors to become licensed as discretionary Portfolio Managers. While other firms struggle to grow this type of program, RBC Dominion Securities advisors now manage over 15 billion in this fashion.
 
Our Portfolio Managers consider it a major competitive advantage which allows them to compete directly for business with private investment management firms.
 
Investment to support your business
 
Many of these advantages come about as a result of our financial strength. We are by far the most profitable IIROC registered firm in the country. This financial strength allows us to reinvest in our business at a time when others cannot. Our advisors reap the benefits, and their businesses grow.
 
Largest average book size by a wide margin
 
Our advisors manage an average of approximately 120 million dollars for their clients. This is substantially more than the average at any of the other large full-service firms. This is the most compelling proof that, when all is said and done, it is easier for you, and your clients, to grow and prosper at RBC Dominion Securities.

We value diversity in the workplace, are committed to Employment Equity and will provide reasonable workplace accommodation to applicants with disabilities.
