RBC BlueBay Asset Management’s equities team works directly alongside the fixed income team following the latter’s reabsorption by RBC at the end of 2022.
Speaking to The TRADE last year, head of trading for the RBC BlueBay Asset Management fixed income trading desk Stuart Campbell highlighted that the institution’s combined size was a new strength for the firm.
