Canada's RBC to double Mideast wealth management team: executive | Reuters

Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) expects to double the number of wealth management employees in its Dubai office in the near future, and is open to opportunities for acquisitions, a senior executive said on Sunday.

Toronto-based RBC has set its sights on global wealth management as a key driver for growth, targeting organic growth in the United States, Britain, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America as well as small or medium-sized acquisitions to build its global wealth, private banking and trust business.

"We currently have 15 people in our Dubai office and will expect to double that in the next two to three years," Barend Janssens, head of the bank's wealth management in emerging markets told reporters in Dubai.
