“This is such an exciting time for self-directed investors and the online brokerage industry. We continue to see more Canadians choosing to start trading themselves. We’re committed to enabling this trend and responding to the needs of both new and more experienced investors. We’ll continue to innovate, to deliver additional capabilities to support our clients.”

The trading dashboard continues to build upon RBC’s self-serve options to bring investors a superior investing experience.

Other enhancements include:

  • A Value Analyser tool. This gives clients a concise view of key information to help them evaluate a stock’s value, complete with a forecasting feature that shows the fair value of a company change, based on shifting assumptions for earnings growth.
  • The consolidation of screeners for stocks, ETFs and mutual funds on one link in the navigation menu. And so investors can populate a watch list with multiple investment products without the need to navigate from page to page.
  • Free access to real-time streaming quotes for all clients. This includes Level 2 quotes on TSX and TSX-V. It includes up-to-the-moment information about the top 10 bid and ask prices. This essentially brings clients onto the trading floor. It enables them to quickly move from monitoring up-to-the-moment information to placing trades.

RBC Direct Investing also gives clients access to three powerful trading platforms. Namely, an online investing site, the web-based Trading Dashboard and a redesigned mobile experience for investors to track the markets.
