You’ll often hear of stocks reaching a 52-week high or hitting a 52-week low. Or maybe you’ve seen news reports announcing a dividend payment or a specific company’s earnings report. Staying on top of these types of events and announcements when it comes to your own holdings is important. But let’s be honest, life gets busy and it can be hard to follow all the information related to your investments. 

With insights about your investments right on your RBC Direct Investing homepage, it’s gotten a little easier to keep track. Thanks to the Recent Events Driving Your Holdings section of your homepage, you can quickly and easily find valuable information about your portfolio holdings. And staying well-informed about the latest developments impacting your holdings is key to making informed decisions that can help safeguard and maximize your portfolio’s performance.

Where You’ll Find Your Insights

You'll find your insights on the Home page, below your listed accounts. There are two events listed, and a link below to View All Key Events that leads to your full list. If the recent announcements or event sparks further questions, click the Learn More About Event Types button for quick access to additional context and information about the associated holding. Plus, you can monitor by account or filter by topic, such as dividend announcements or performance events – depending on your interests.
