Canada's RBC quarterly profit rises as wealth management business remains robust
Adds details on wealth management business in paragraphs 2 & 3
Feb 27 (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Canada RY.TO on Thursday reported a higher first-quarter profit, helped by strong performance in its wealth management unit.
The Canadian central bank's decision to continue cutting rates in the reported quarter helped improve the environment for mergers and acquisitions. A pro-business stance in the United States, which is a key market for Canadian lenders, also helped lift sentiments around activity.
Net income at its wealth management business jumped 48% to C$980 million from a year ago.
The Canadian lender posted an adjusted profit of C$5.25 billion ($3.66 billion), or C$3.62 per share, in the three months ended January 31, compared with C$4.07 billion, or C$2.85 apiece, in the year ago period.
