Announcing a New Partnership with RBC!

Winn partners Logo social

We hope you all enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate our nation’s Independence on the 4th of July. Hopefully there weren’t any firework-related injuries!

Independence is indeed something to celebrate, in many ways.

As you know, International Assets is an independent financial services firm.  Our team within International Assets (Winn Partners Financial Group) couldn’t imagine working in an environment that would require us to put the demands of any organization before the needs of our clients.  We will always be in a position to freely make the best decisions for our clients, beholden to no entity.

Along these lines, we are very excited to announce that International Assets has made the decision to enter into a partnership with RBC Capital Markets (Royal Bank of Canada) to become the firm’s new clearing agent.

The clearing agent is the organization that, among other things, provides a wide array of operational, administrative, and custodial services.  They are responsible for safekeeping of your securities, sending out your required statements, confirmations, and various tax documents.  They also provide various technological and research related services to the firms with which they are affiliated.

This is where RBC has the ability to add the greatest value to International Assets and Winn Partners Financial Group.

What does the mean for you?

These above services will no longer be provided by NFS as they have been for years.  They are all being assumed by RBC.  With this new partnership, we have direct access to RBC’s complete scope of services and enhanced technological offerings.  These include, but are not limited to, highly ranked industry software that simplifies all aspects of holistic financial planning; portfolio tracking that will include assets held at RBC and elsewhere; and capital markets expertise in terms of research, international market access, and nationally recognized research departments.

 What comes next?

In the coming days you will be receiving a communication from International Assets formally announcing this affiliation with RBC.  Since we are excited about this move, we wanted to share the news with you ourselves first.  Signatures and paperwork requirements are expected to be minimal.  Depending on the nature of your current account(s) with us, you might be receiving documents in the mail to sign and return.  It’s also possible you’ll have no paperwork heading your way at all. Should you have any questions whatsoever about any documents you might receive, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.  We will be happy to help in any way possible.

In many ways, we feel this partnership with RBC will help us better serve our clients.  Their financial strength and suite of services align extremely well with our values and needs as a firm.  We want to always be sure we are able to bring our clients the best tools available in the areas of financial planning and investment management.  We would also like to help keep things as organized and simple for our clients as possible.  We feel this partnership with RBC will help us achieve these goals and we are eager to use their platform to the mutual advantage of ourselves and our clients.
