CEO's letter
It is with great pride that we acknowledge and celebrate RBC Dexia’s fifth anniversary. Achieving this milestone gives us the opportunity to reflect on the many contributions and accomplishments that have combined to make RBC Dexia a successful organisation.
We began, in January 2006, by providing the marketplace with, ‘A fresh perspective on investor services’, which underscored the value of our global and local value proposition. Throughout the past five years, the intensity of our client focus has continued to grow, supported by our highly professional teams located worldwide. Our now familiar tag line, ‘Your ambition. Our purpose.’ continues to resonate and captures the essence of our commitment to you and our strong sense of purpose.
During our first five years, markets experienced significant change—none more dramatic than the turbulence of the financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis. These events served to reshape market perceptions and acted as the catalyst for regulatory change. While investor confidence levels are recovering, they are tempered with the knowledge that markets are unpredictable. Within this context, RBC Dexia remains highly focused on supporting our clients with products, market commentary and insights and exceptional service to help them achieve their ambitions and capitalise on new opportunities.
With the energy and commitment of our employees, as well as the support of our two shareholders, RBC Dexia will continue to deliver an enhanced client experience.
