RBC Unified Portfolio (RBC UP) is a Unified Managed Account (UMA) program that allows your clients to integrate third-party money managers, wrap eligible mutual funds, exchange traded funds and closed-end funds in one account with one statement and one 1099—all for one fee, with no ticket charges, based on account value. Tax management capabilities and strategies for SRI screens/impact investing are also available.

Within RBC UP, you also have access to a unique offering of lower-cost, small account solutions.

Simplify account opening and maintenance

Clients who have an RBC managed solution (i.e. RBC Advisor, Consulting Solutions or RBC Unified Portfolio) complete one Advisory Master Services Agreement (AMSA), which may cover multiple accounts under their client record. The AMSA also allows clients to provide verbal instruction pertaining to their RBC managed solution (e.g. change allocation, change money manager, hire money manager, terminate, etc.).

Powered by Envestnet, our AdvisoryLink advisory account technology makes it easy to open, maintain, review and close all RBC-sponsored advisory programs—RBC UP, RBC Advisor and Consulting Solutions. It helps streamline advisory business management and creates efficiencies for your financial professionals and your management team.
