Wealth Management
“There’s a clear social need for support. Young people are critical to the success of our society and both the private and public sectors need to create opportunities for them to thrive,” says Prue Thompson, Head of Marketing at RBC Wealth Management. “The Prince’s Trust provides an incredible network of support across the UK for young people, and this commitment to youth is the reason why RBC has been an active partner since 2018. If we can help young people improve their long-term prospects both they, and the societies in which we live, will have a brighter future to look forward to.”
“We are now the number one originator of annuities, and we grow organically by about $50 billion a year,” he adds. “It’s a nice place to be.”
