Investment involves risk. The price of investment products may fall as well as rise, and may even become valueless. You might not get back the amount originally invested. This video is not directed at, nor intended for distribution to or use by, any person or entity in any country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Royal Bank of Canada or its subsidiaries or constituent business units (including RBC Wealth Management) to any licensing or registration requirement within such country. Royal Bank of Canada does not offer accounts, products or services in jurisdictions where it is not permitted to do so, and therefore the RBC Wealth Management business is not available in all countries or markets. In the event of any discrepancy between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall prevail. Royal Bank of Canada is duly established under the Bank Act (Canada), which provides limited liability for shareholders.
