“We are excited to expand our family of RBC ETFs to include a suite of index-tracking solutions listed on the NEO exchange,” said Mark Neill, Head of RBC ETFs.

“We are thrilled that our success in the ETF listing space has given RBC Global Asset Management confidence to list these new ETFs on NEO,” said Jos Schmitt, President and Chief Executive Officer, NEO Exchange.  “Through our ongoing efforts to educate the investor community about the benefits of competing listing venues and the implementation of NEO-listed data across all relevant market data distribution channels, we are working to build a healthier, more competitive market in Canada. We look forward to building a long-lasting partnership with RBC Global Asset Management.” 

RBC GAM Inc. joins BlackRock Asset Management, BMO Global Asset Management, Invesco Canada, Mackenzie Investments and Redwood Asset Management as ETF providers with listings on NEO.  Today’s launch of RBC ETFs brings the total number of ETF listings on NEO to 25, comprised of 42 symbols.
