Mike Moodie, UK head of RBC Wealth Management, said: “Ms Wright’s appointment is further proof of our dedication to US clients in London at a time when many UK wealth managers are deciding to scale back or exit the market.
“Our investments business in London has held a SEC licence for over a decade and we’re well-positioned to service increasingly sophisticated clients that are looking to London for a variety of wealth management solutions. We continue to attract high-calibre relationship managers from across the industry and we’re very pleased to have Michelle on board,”
