There may be commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or Fund Facts before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. For money market funds there can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.

All RBC Direct Investing clients pay $9.95 flat CDN or U.S. per equity trade with no minimum account balance or trading activity required. $6.95 flat CDN or U.S. per equity trade when you trade 150 times or more per quarter.

Additional terms and conditions apply. Visit Pricing or call 1-800-769-2560 for complete details.

There is no quarterly maintenance fee charged if your combined assets are $15,000 or more across all of your RBC Direct Investing accounts. If your combined assets are less than $15,000 across all of your RBC Direct Investing accounts, you will be charged one maintenance fee of $25 per quarter (split across all of your accounts). However, you have a number of additional ways to have this fee waived. For full details please refer to the complete Commissions and Fees Schedule.
