California Dreamin' with RBC
Now, the real question is: are they really living the California dream? Well, kind of. RBC doesn't have a full-fledged retail presence like they do in Canada. But hold your horses! They've got their fingers in a few Californian pies.
- Wealth Management: If you're rolling in the dough and need someone to manage it, RBC Wealth Management has offices in sunny Southern California. Think of them as your personal financial guru with a beach view.
- Capital Markets: RBC Capital Markets has a presence in California too. So, if you're more into the world of finance and investments than sunbathing, they might be your jam.
