Debt Capital Markets
“Our clients find the BC CapApp to be a significant source of real time new issue market data when it counts most. As our Investment Grade issuing clients approach the primary capital markets, they use the CapApp to stay informed and up to speed throughout their day, instead of reading through hundreds of emails. It’s clearly a big branding opportunity for RBC, as our clients who use CapApp no longer need many of the emails coming from our competitors. Expansion to international markets as well as secondary markets will further increase the value of the CapApp and the value of the RBC relationship.”
