Guardian Capital Group has chosen RBC Dexia for the provision of custody, recordkeeping, fund administration and securities lending for its portfolio of pooled funds and corporate securities.

Last week, RBC Dexia was chosen for a similar deal by Claymore Investments.

“Guardian was looking for a service provider that could accommodate our diverse business requirements and support our plans for future growth,” says Sam K. Greiss, Guardian’s senior vice-president. “RBC Dexia has demonstrated that they are willing to work with us on a consultative basis to provide the solutions we need.”

Guardian provides institutional and high net worth investment management services to clients, provides financial services to international investors and provides services to financial advisors in its national mutual fund dealer, securities dealer and insurance distribution network.
