On Wednesday, the Chief Financial Officer for Royal Bank of Canada, Janice Fukakusa said that the bank could generate wealth management acquisitions that are valued up to C$5 billion.

Royal Bank of Canada is looking for capacity additions to the equity side of its asset management, given where the fixed income cycle is. This was according to the CFO of the said bank. Fukakusa gave the statement during the Morgan Stanley US Financials Conference in New York.

Fukakusa added that they are not betting the bank for bite size deals stating that said deals would be around US$1 billion to US$3-US$5 billion.
