Exchange traded funds (ETFs), including Canadian ETFs, are set up to mirror the performance of a stock market index or subindex.
You pay brokerage commissions to buy and sell these blue chip ETFs. But their low management fees give them a cost advantage.
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA $288 is raising your quarterly dividend by 7.3% with the August 2026 payment. Investors will then receive $1.76 a share instead of $1.64. The new annual rate of $7.04 yields 2.4%. The bank also plans to buy back about 3% of its outstanding shares over the next year.

Royal continues to benefit from its March 2024 purchase of the Canadian operations of U.K.-based HSBC Holdings plc (New York symbol HSBC) for $15.5 billion. Eliminating overlapping operations with HSBC has already cut $740 million from Royal’s annual costs. That savings should soon rise to $760 million per year.

Royal Bank continues to reach new highs and is up more than 50% in the past year.

That translates into strong and rising returns for our subscribers. RBC’s 2024 acquisition of the banking operations of HSBC Canada continues to generate meaningful benefits as Royal expands wealth management, investment, and other financial services to former HSBC clients. This should drive higher fee-based revenue and reduce the bank’s reliance on traditional lending income.
