RCM – Part of Global Excellence.
Strong and supportive ownership.
RCM is a specialist global equity asset management firm within Allianz Global Investors, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz SE.
Given that focused investment firms have historically delivered more consistent results and outperformed their peers, Allianz Global Investors represents a unique global network of highly focused investment firms each with their own boutique culture. Allianz Global Investors’ affiliated investment managers remain independent and autonomous, allowing them to effectively apply their respective, specialist investment philosophies. In turn, Allianz Global Investors empowers them with a sophisticated business management structure.
RCM is organised on a global basis with offices strategically located in the US, Europe and Asia. The firm combines the financial strength of Allianz SE with a successful investment culture and the sophisticated, global multi-product capabilities required of today’s asset managers.
RCM is the entity responsible for the management of the Chariguard Funds, designed and managed exclusively for charities.
RCM – An Integrated Team
RCM has a strong investment culture and heritage based on bottom-up, independent research. Investment opportunities are identified by our global research platform of sector-based career analysts and communicated in real-time between offices forming a 24-hour virtual office and information flow. This investment philosophy and process was founded in the 1970s and has become, in recent years, the recognised industry standard. As a complement to fundamental research we employ our proprietary network of Grassroots® analysts, who apply innovative market research techniques to identify stock and sector specific trends.
The investment professionals (both fund managers and analysts) in each centre not only cover their regional markets, but also 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.
With such strong investment support our systematic products team (including our Chariguard Fund range), based in London and Frankfurt, has flourished. It is one of the most prominent quantitative investments teams in Europe. The team is responsible for over 200 mandates, with a total of over £15bn of assets under management.
