I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to investing, so I’m hoping for some guidance. A few months ago, I switched my RRSP to RBC InvestEase and selected the socially responsible portfolio because I wanted my investments to better reflect my values. Recently, I started receiving letters from iShares (BlackRock) thanking me for my investment. I didn’t realize that my money would be going through BlackRock, and I’m not comfortable with that. What are my options if I want my RRSP to: Be managed by a Canadian company Invest primarily or exclusively in Canadian organizations Follow socially responsible investing principles Is this something I can request through RBC, or would I need to move my RRSP elsewhere? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I’ve got about half my investments in NBC750 - NBI Canadian Equity Index Fund which I don’t THINK has any shares through BlackRock.

    I’ve got another half in an international index (NBC755), but I think it has around 4% of its value in a blackrock iShares ETF.

    Both of mine I done through QTrade, which I think is Canadian (although its so hard to keep track these days).
