Proprietary research, global expertise and unique perspective from our investment professionals to the marketplace

In our judgement, U.S. small cap stocks often get “no respect” from investors. This is remarkable, because as an asset class, they have provided compelling long-term performance compared to the alternatives like U.S. large cap stocks. 

Small cap stocks possess intrinsic characteristics that should be attractive to long-term investors, and have important catalysts that make them timely investments in the current market environment, in our view.

During our upcoming webinar, Murphy O’Flaherty, Portfolio Manager with RBC Global Asset Management’s U.S. Small Cap team, and Euan Sanderson, Institutional Portfolio manager will discuss the team’s view on the asset class.  Please join us on June 26, 2024 at 1:00 ET when Murphy will share her insight on the current market environment and where we are finding the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities.

Emerging Markets Equity: The next chapter

Despite the uncertainty in the global economy, emerging markets have had a strong start to the year as significant tailwinds could continue to drive momentum in the asset class. Even as uncertain and riskier markets and economic dynamics continue, there are enduring and compelling opportunities in EM. Indeed, local and hard currency, loans and absolute return funds are all well positioned to capture EM potential.

Capturing emerging market potential

After years of rock bottom short term interest rates, yields today are significantly more attractive than they were a year ago –
and reaching some of the highest levels not seen in the last several years for short term fixed income investors.  Creating more opportunities for investors to reinvest at attractive levels and add meaningful income potential to portfolios.
