The RBC Code of Conduct

BlueBay’s parent company, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), requires staff from all group entities to acknowledge and comply with the RBC Code of Conduct (the “Code”). The Code incorporates RBC’s key values (integrity, in particular) and sets out the standards that we expect within our firm.

BlueBay has a separate framework of policies and procedures which align BlueBay’s principles and staff obligations with those of RBC. Covered Persons are required to comply with BlueBay’s internal policies (including those maintained by BlueBay’s Compliance, HR, Communications, and Information Security teams) which contain equivalent requirements to the RBC policies referenced in the Code. Covered Persons are not able to access the links in the Code but you can view the Code as well as the documents referenced within it, on BlueBay’s HR intranet site.
