Learn more about RBC mutual funds

RBC Investment Advantage clients are charged a fee rate based on the total value of assets in each Inner Circle account (or for the individual account, if just one person is investing) for ongoing access, advice and service that Royal Mutual Funds Inc. provides.

No, you will need to contact a Financial Planner, Digital Financial Specialist or an Invest-by-Phone advisor, depending on your total assets.

Account fees and trailing commissions are both fees for the advice, access and services provided to an investor.

Embedded advice series mutual funds (Series A units) include a trailing commission paid by the mutual fund company to the investment firm the advisor works for (mutual fund dealer) for ongoing advice, access and service. The trailing commission is embedded in the management expense ratio (MER) of a mutual fund.

For fee-based investors, who purchase Series F units of a mutual fund, the trailing commission is replaced with an account fee. Account fees are charged directly to the investor by the investment firm the advisor works for. With the RBC Investment Advantage account your account fee is based on a tiered scale that offers you a lower fee rate when you hold a higher balance with us, either on your own or by grouping assets with family members and certain professional colleagues.
