The company's "Top Picks" list of US stocks has outperformed the market since 2011, when the list was first created. The list is made of the stocks RBC's analysts currently think have the greatest potential to take off, and the analysts' calls have proven to be pretty good picks so far.
Since December 31, 2011, the return produced by shares on the list has averaged 116.7%, compared to the S&P 500's 92.7%. Just looking at 2017, the list has averaged a return of 10.9% compared to the S&P's 8.2%.
To create the list, RBC polled its analysts for their favorite stocks in their areas of expertise. The 16 stocks on the list are constantly evaluated as the year goes on, and as stocks are upgraded and downgraded at the firm, the list changes.
