The role of cash in your wealth plan

Strategic solutions available

Consider the important role cash plays in your current and future life. Effectively managing cash is vital to meeting your financial goals.

You may be saving for a large purchase. You may have cash on hand to protect against unforeseen events, such as an unexpected home repair or a job loss. Cash also plays a role in your investment portfolio. Your portfolio allocation to cash and cash-like products typically changes over time - depending on your risk tolerance, investment time horizon and whether you are near retirement or already retired.

Here are three key reasons to discuss your current and future cash needs with me as your financial advisor:

1. Cash management

What are your current household expenses? If you’re retired or depend on your portfolio for a portion of your income, using cash management solutions can offer efficient access to your cash and help smooth out your income stream.

2. Liquidity

Holding sufficient cash may help you prepare for the unexpected such as a major repair, a medical emergency or perhaps a job or business loss. In addition, if you’re retired or depend on portfolio income, many financial professionals recommend having six months to two years of spending needs allocated to cash, which may help protect against market volatility or being forced to sell investments at an inopportune time.

3. Flexibility

Allocating a portion of your portfolio to cash gives you the liquidity necessary to move quickly when an investment or business opportunity presents itself. RBC Wealth Management offers several cash management services to help you enjoy the benefits of your wealth when and how you need it.

<ol> <li>Clients who have achieved Premier Client Services ("Premier") status receive unlimited ATM fee reimbursements. To qualify for Premier status, you must have more than $600,000 in total household assets or generate more than $5,000 in total household commissions paid in the previous 12 months. Contact your financial advisor for details about the Premier Client Services program. Clients who have not achieved Premier status are reimbursed up to a maximum of $240 in ATM surcharge fees per year. RBC will rebate ATM surcharge fees monthly. The ATM surcharges will be calculated as the sooner of four (4) ATM surcharges or up to a maximum of $20 per calendar month. Thereafter, the standard ATM surcharges fees will apply. RBC may impose limits for security purposes or when the card transactions and ATM surcharge fee reimbursements exceed normal conditions.</li> <li>RBC Insured Deposits (“the Program”) is an automated cash sweep option that sweeps un-invested cash balances in clients’ accounts into interest-bearing deposit accounts (“Deposit Accounts”) with RBC affiliate banks and additional unaffiliated banks (“Program Banks”) up to applicable limits. Availability is subject to certain restrictions. The Program provides up to $5 million in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage per depositor in each insurable ownership capacity (“Deposit Limit”). Each Deposit Account constitutes a direct obligation of the Program Bank and is not directly or indirectly an obligation of RBC Wealth Management. More information regarding FDIC insurance is available at <a href="https://www.fdic.gov" target="_blank">https://www.fdic.gov</a>. RBC Insured Deposits are not subject to market risk and potential value loss, but are subject to the risk of a Program Bank’s failure. In the event a Program Bank fails, deposits at each Program Bank are eligible for FDIC coverage up to applicable limits. Deposit balances in excess of the Deposit Limit will be invested with Excess Banks and are not covered by FDIC insurance. Currently, the Primary Excess Bank is City National Bank (“CNB”), an RBC Affiliate Bank. Monies held in RBC Insured Deposits are not covered by Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). For retirement accounts, balances in excess of the Deposit Limit are invested in an unaffiliated money market fund. Money market mutual fund investments are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency; they are instead covered by SIPC. </li> <li>RBC Cash Plus is an automated cash sweep option that sweeps un-invested cash balances in clients’ accounts into interest-bearing deposit accounts (“Branch Deposit Accounts”) at the RBC Three World Financial Center Branch (“the Branch”) located in New York, a U.S. branch of Royal Bank of Canada, a Canadian bank. Funds on deposit at the Branch are not insured by the FDIC, SIPC or any governmental agency of the United States, Canada or any other jurisdiction. The Branch Deposit Accounts are obligations of the Branch only, and are not obligations of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, or any of its affiliates or its business divisions, including RBC Wealth Management. The payment of principal and interest on Branch Deposit Accounts at the Branch is subject to the creditworthiness of Royal Bank of Canada. In the event of the failure of the Branch, clients participating in RBC Cash Plus will become general unsecured creditors of Royal Bank of Canada. It is possible to lose money by holding deposits in RBC Cash Plus. </li> </ol> <p>Deposit Accounts and Branch Deposit Accounts will earn the interest rate based on the total assets across all accounts within your household, as well as total balances of all Deposit Accounts and Branch Deposit Accounts within your household. Interest rates/APY (Annual Percentage Yield) are subject to change without notice. </p> <p>Please see the “Cash Management” section on our public website at <a href="https://rbcwm.com/disclosures" target="_blank">rbcwm.com/disclosures</a>.  There you will find the RBC Insured Deposits Program Banks as well as Terms and Conditions and Program Interest Rates and segments for both programs.
