Narrative:

On the ZZZ5 departure as we were climbing out ATC asked us to climb to 5;000 feet; as we were leveling off; ATC asked if we had traffic at our 1 to 2 o'clock small aircraft in sight; we replied 'yes we have it in sight.' as we were leveling off at 5;000; the aircraft responded with an RA; the instructions per the RA were to reduce the rate of climb. We complied and leveled off at 5;000 feet at which point we were eventually clear of conflict. We were switched over to another frequency to continue our flight. No further action was taken as a result of the RA.rate of climb was higher than normal due to a light aircraft weight.
