The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act represents a major milestone in our economic recovery. To shed light on how the Act will help create a safer, sounder, more stable financial system, John Taft, CEO of RBC U.S. Wealth Management, has prepared an exclusive editorial that shares his perspective as a securities industry leader who helped shape responsible reform throughout the legislative process. Taft also shares why RBC Wealth Management’s tradition for responsible stewardship of client assets is a deeply held value you can always depend on in any market environment.
