Jersey, 19 January 2021<\/strong> \u2013 RBC Wealth Management, part of Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has appointed Gail McCourt as Head of Private Client Fiduciary Services for its British Isles business.  <\/p>

In her new role, Ms McCourt will lead RBC Wealth Management\u2019s award-winning\u00b9 Fiduciary Management and Technical Trust teams in the Channel Islands, providing solutions to help clients preserve their wealth and create a meaningful legacy.

Ms McCourt joined RBC in 2003 where she has also held roles including Head of Marketing, Head of Regional Market Strategy, Head of Client Experience and, most recently, four years as Head of Fiduciary Management. She is an active advocate of diversity and inclusion and in 2018 was recognized by mental health charity Mind with its \u2018Senior Leader Award\u2019, in celebration of her commitment to driving a healthy, inclusive and respectful workplace culture. <\/p>

\u201cGail has built great momentum in our fiduciary management business over the past four years, particularly in supporting and empowering our teams, and delivering client service excellence and business efficiency,\u201d said Mr. Thomas. \u201cWe are delighted that she has taken on this expanded role, as we continue to work with families to meet their international wealth and estate objectives over the long term.\u201d <\/p>

As one of the largest providers of fiduciary services in the Channel Islands, RBC Wealth Management has expertise in complex, multijurisdictional, dynastic planning for UHNW clients and their families. Its fiduciary teams are based in Jersey and Guernsey with 300 experienced individuals administering assets across jurisdictions while considering tax implications, probate and legal matters. Clients value RBC\u2019s stability and longevity as a bank-owned trust business with over 55 years\u2019 experience. <\/p>

\u00b9<\/strong> In the 2019 Euromoney Awards RBC Wealth Management won \u2018Best Ultra High Net Worth Clients (Jersey)\u2019 and \u2018Best Super Affluent Clients (Jersey)\u2019. More recently, RBC Wealth Management was named \u2018Best Institutional Trust or Fiduciary Company\u2019 at the 2020 WealthBriefing European Awards. <\/p>
