Supporting our clients and providing thoughtful advice as they navigate uncertainty is a key part of investment banking and a core element of RBC Capital Markets’ approach to building relationships, especially in a volatile environment. One great example is how RBC helped Home Capital Group ("HCG"), a leading mortgage lender, navigate a liquidity crunch that attracted wide public attention, with peak media coverage starting in April 2017. Review the timeline leading up to HCG’s 2017 liquidity crunch and how HCG emerged from the crisis with the help of RBC. Specifically, what strategic options were available to HCG and which avenues did it pursue? Why did the company pursue the path it did and how was that path structured? How did the media, shareholders and other stakeholders react to the events and how did the company's share price trade throughout? How did RBC support the company and what other options could you have suggested to HCG if you were part of the RBC team working on this file?
