What is the opportunity?

RBC Wealth Management's Toronto-based Portfolio Advisory Group ("PAG") provides independent investment advice to over 2,000 investment advisors working under the RBC Dominion Securities ("RBC DS") banner in Canada. The Canadian Equity Portfolio Advisor will support the broader team's efforts to provide RBC DS investment advisors with high-quality advice as well as support Portfolio Managers in the stewardship of the team's equity portfolios.

You will respond to a wide-range of equity-related queries from investment advisors, support the equity team's portfolio management process and contribute to the production of thought leadership. You will communicate the team's insights via one-on-one interactions with advisors, flagship written publications and branch presentations. From your experience working with PAG, you will expand your investment management knowledge through independent research, ongoing discussions with your colleagues, portfolio management deliberations and frequent interactions with RBC Capital Markets research analysts.

The ideal candidate would have at least five years of investment-related experience, a strong desire to further develop their knowledge of the financial markets and investment management, strong communication skills, an ability to multi-task and prioritize in a fast-paced environment, a genuine intellectual curiosity and a keen attention to detail.
