* The recommended cash equivalents are part of the overall asset allocation. In certain circumstances, investors may choose to hold additional cash for liquidity purposes. This additional cash may be excluded from the Recommendation Worksheet; allocate the client’s investable assets only.

† RBC North American Value Fund and RBC North American Growth Fund are assumed to have a 80/20 breakdown between Canadian and US holdings. As a result, these funds are included in more than one asset class (Canadian Equity Funds and North American Equity Funds) with the result that asset class totals may not be the same as the total for funds listed in each category.

‡ The RBC Global Dividend Growth Fund is assumed to have a 50/50 breakdown between North American and international equities.

Mutual fund securities are not guaranteed nor covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by another government deposit insurer. For funds other than money market funds, unit values change frequently. For money market funds, there can be no assurances that a fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in a fund will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. Royal RBC Funds Inc. is licensed as a financial services firm in the province of Quebec.
