RBC’s investment banking business sits within RBC Capital Markets, the global markets and corporate and investment banking arm of Royal Bank of Canada. You should understand what that combination offers: a leading Canadian banking franchise, cross-border capabilities, and an integrated platform spanning mergers and acquisitions, debt financing, and equity financing.
Compared with especially calculation-heavy interviews, RBC interviews often lean toward qualitative questions. You may need to explain why a valuation changes, recommend a financing option, or discuss a market development instead of completing lengthy mental math. Still, prepare all core technical topics, including accounting, enterprise value versus equity value, valuation, merger consequences, and leveraged buyouts.
