Royal Bank of Canada describes several risk and capital management items. For its unconsolidated structured entities, total assets of these vehicles represent the maximum assets that may need to be purchased under outstanding purchase commitments, and the bank notes that its maximum exposure to loss largely comes from investments, loans, derivatives, and liquidity and credit enhancement facilities.
The bank reports that balances it must maintain due to regulatory or contractual requirements with central banks and other counterparties were $3 billion as at October 31, 2025, compared with $2 billion a year earlier and $3 billion two years earlier. It also details subordinated notes that qualify as Tier 2 capital because they include non‑viability contingent capital provisions, which force conversion into common shares if regulators deem the bank non‑viable or a qualifying government capital injection occurs.
RBC also redeemed $1,500 million of 2.88% subordinated debentures due 2029 on December 23, 2024 and $1,250 million of 2.088% subordinated debentures due 2030 on June 30, 2025, paying 100% of principal plus accrued interest. The bank outlines that several outstanding notes pay interest at a stated rate until their earliest par value redemption date and then reset to margins above Daily Compounded CORRA or the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate mid‑swap rate.
