With new investors joining the world of online trading at a rapid pace, we're working to ensure we've got the tools in place to both support your investing journey and to offer a "peek behind the curtain" to anyone wondering what it's all about. To that end, when you're logged in to the online site, you'll find a library of how-to videos under the Investing Academy menu tab, covering topics like How to Fund Your RBC Direct Investing Account, Transferring Cash Into Your Account and How to Read a Stock Quote.
For anyone who doesn't have an account, or isn't logged in, the pubic site at rbcdirectinvesting.com has a wealth of video resources as well. In addition to how-to videos, you'll find a hub of digital demonstrations that walk you through the mobile and online RBC Direct Investing experiences, account funding and more. Look for "Digital Demos" in the Help & Support menu at the bottom of the page when you visit rbcdirectinvesting.com.

One Stop for ETF, Mutual Fund and Stock Screeners
Screener upgrades for ETFs and mutual funds now available.
With a single click, you can now access improved screeners for stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds in one place on the RBC Direct Investing online site. Under the Research tab online, click on any of the three to reach the screeners homepage, where you'll find separate tabs for each screener. From there, you can browse a number of predefined screeners or you can select Create My Own to find quick criteria selections or to dig deeper. And remember, you can save your filtered results as a watchlist. Look for Save as Watchlist near the top of your search results.
Site navigation tip:
Clients can receive account statements, tax documents, trade confirmations and regulatory documents electronically. If you're looking for a tax slip or need a replacement copy, you can sign up for e-delivery of your tax documents issued by RBC. These are the same tax documents you'd receive in the mail, but you can instantly view and download them (or print, if you need to). To get started, go to View & Manage Documents under the My Portfolio menu online. Find out more in How to Access Your RBC Tax Documents Online, part of the Investing & Tax Season Centre.
