RCM (UK) Ltd is the marketing name for the equity platform of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management (UK) Ltd which is a member of the Allianz Dresdner Asset Management Marketing Group.

Allianz Dresdner Asset Management, the division within the Allianz Group responsible for asset management, has combined third-party assets of £399bn (as at 30 September 2003) and provides specialist active equity management through RCM.

RCM is a truly global asset management company with over 270 investment professionals worldwide and assets under management of £26.8bn as at 31 December 2003. RCM's investment philosophy is based on fundamental research and aims to identify market anomalies in the pricing of assets/securities to produce performance for its clients over the longer term.

Allianz Dresdner Asset Management has offices in 27 countries worldwide, whilst RCM has its primary investment offices in London, Frankfurt, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Sydney. The investment professionals (both fund managers and analysts) in each centre cover their local regional markets, but contribute to the overall global equity platform which drives our investment process. Thus the organisation functions as one global investment platform, using a coherent investment philosophy.

RCM's SRI process is based on our partnership with the United Nations Association Trust (“UNA Trust"), the UK charitable and educational fund of the United Nations Association (UK). Encompassing global UN benchmarks for socially responsible standards of global business, these principles provide the underlying and pervasive philosophy that determines how our client SRI portfolios are put together, whereby:

“We approach SRI from a global perspective, believing that SRI criteria derived from internationally agreed United Nations principles provide the most comprehensive global benchmark against which to judge a company's environmental and social performance."

Focused equity and sector SRI analysis is undertaken by our in-house SRI unit to supplement the fundamental macro-economic and sectoral research conducted by our global team of analysts. This includes corporate engagement and governance, through the regular dialogue achieved as a result of the SRI research and selection process that feeds into our client SRI portfolios.

The research process focuses on understanding the ability of a business to:

  • Manage its significant environmental and social, tangible and intangible assets,
  • Respond to forthcoming policy and legislation,
  • Respond to the concerns of investors and stakeholders, and
  • Position itself competitively among its peers.
    In order to maintain this understanding, we endeavour to:
  • Build upon constructive dialogue with companies on specific issues that may have an impact on the long-term sustainability of the business,
  • Evaluate interested stakeholder views, and
  • Assess business response to these.

By adopting a structured and focused research process, we aim to provide a Socially Responsible Investment process and funds that not only tackle Corporate Social Responsibility but also provide financial results for our investors.
