Monitoring Your Investments Doesn’t Have to Be a Chore

You’ll often hear of stocks reaching a 52-week high or hitting a 52-week low. Or maybe you’ve seen news reports announcing a dividend payment or a specific company’s earnings report. Staying on top of these types of events and announcements when it comes to your own holdings is important. But let’s be honest, life gets busy and it can be hard to follow all the information related to your investments. 

With personalized insights about your investments right on your RBC Direct Investing homepage, it’s gotten a little easier to keep track. Thanks to the Recent Events Driving Your Holdings section of your homepage, you can quickly and easily find valuable information about your portfolio holdings. And staying well-informed about the latest developments impacting your holdings is key to making informed decisions that can help safeguard and maximize your portfolio’s performance.

Where You’ll Find Your Insights

On the Home tab, scroll down to the bottom of the page, below your listed accounts. You’ll see three events listed, and a link below to View All Recent Events that leads to your full list. If the recent announcements or event sparks further questions, click the Learn More button for quick access to additional context and information about the associated holding. Plus, you can filter by topic, such as dividend announcements or performance events – depending on your interests.

What Announcements and Events You Will Find

When you are logged into your RBC Direct Investing account, you have a variety of insights and data at your fingertips related to your holdings. For example, if there’s a dividend announcement, you’ll know. If a stock in your portfolio hits a new 52-week high or low, you’ll see that info. Or when trading prices cross certain thresholds, your events feed will keep you informed.

Each event stays on your homepage for five days before being updated, so you have plenty of time to see them before they change.

Here’s a full list of the announcements and events that are covered.
