RBC Capital Markets named Precious Metals House of the Year
RBC Capital Markets was recognized for expanding its metals franchise, including a 17% increase in commodities clients and new trading tools.
RBC Capital Markets earned the Precious Metals House of the Year title at the Energy Risk Awards 2026, recognizing the institution's strategic investment and client-led solutions throughout 2025.
Gold prices reached more than 50 record highs in 2025, while tariff-related concerns drove market volatility; the bank leveraged global refinery relationships to help clients prepare for the Liberation Day deadline.
High-Profile leadership appointments bolstered the global platform, including Ian Penney as global head of metals and Keval Sangani as head of metals origination for North America, alongside new technology investments.
Supporting asset managers offering physically backed ETFs, the bank provided consistent liquidity during turbulent market conditions. "Our ability to provide consistent liquidity and support for physically backed ETFs in one of the most turbulent markets in recent memory is something we're proud of," said Everhardt.
Ron Ruffini, head of commodities risk solutions for EMEA and APAC, stated the bank has built real momentum and intends to continue investing in metals offerings across Europe and North America.
