                       PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    The Company's Board of Directors currently has four members. The
stockholders of Dresdner RCM Capital Funds, Inc. (the "Capital Company") and
Dresdner RCM Investment Funds Inc. (the "Investment Company"), mutual funds
which are also managed by the Investment Manager, are being asked to approve
proposed reorganizations into newly created series of the Company. In that
connection, the Board of Directors has decided that it would be appropriate to
expand the Board to six members, and to further expand the Board to nine members
upon the reorganization of the Investment Company, and to nominate for the added
positions certain members from the boards of the Capital Company and the
Investment Company. The nomination and election of Messrs. Birnbaum, Coburn and
Fiore are conditioned on the closing of the proposed reorganization of the
Investment Company.

    If elected, each nominee will serve as a Director until he or she resigns,
is removed from office, or a successor has been elected. If any nominee is
unable to serve, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominated by the Board
of Directors, unless you instruct otherwise.

VOTE REQUIRED

    Each stockholder may vote for up to nine members of the Board. The expansion
of the Board from six to nine members, and the nomination and election of
Messrs. Birnbaum, Coburn and Fiore are conditioned on the closing of the
proposed reorganization of the Investment Company. The nominees receiving the
highest number of votes will be elected.

              PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

    The Company's Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as
independent public accountants for the Funds for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2000. As required by the 1940 Act, this selection is being
submitted to the stockholders of the Funds for their ratification.

    PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as the independent public accountants
for the Funds since 1995. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, it
performed audit services and prepared the Funds' income tax returns. No
representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will attend the Meeting.

VOTE REQUIRED

    This proposal must be approved by a majority of the shares voted on the
proposal.

                         VOTING AND MEETING PROCEDURES

HOW TO VOTE

    You can vote by mail, phone, internet, or in person at the Meeting.

    - To vote by mail, sign and send us the enclosed Proxy voting card in the
      envelope provided.

    - To vote by phone, call us at the toll-free number on your proxy card.

    - To vote electronically, visit our website at www.proxyvote.com.

    If you vote by phone or electronically, the Company or its agent will use
reasonable procedures (such as requiring an identification number) to verify the
authenticity of the vote cast.

    If you vote by Proxy, you can revoke your Proxy by notifying the Secretary
in writing, or by returning a Proxy with a later date. You can also revoke a
Proxy by voting in person at the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting
and vote in person, please return the enclosed Proxy card or vote by phone or
electronically. This will help us ensure that an adequate number of shares are
present at the Meeting.

PROXY SOLICITATION

    In addition to the solicitation of proxies by electronic means, officers and
employees of the Company, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies
in person or by telephone. Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. will also
be retained to provide professional proxy solicitation services. The costs
associated with the solicitation and the Meeting will be paid by the Company.
The cost of solicitation, including specified expenses, is not expected to
exceed $20,000.

    The Company will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for the costs of forwarding soliciting material to
beneficial owners of shares entitled to vote at the Meeting.

QUORUM REQUIREMENTS

    The presence in person or by proxy of more than one-third of the outstanding
shares of the Company entitled to vote will constitute a quorum. If a quorum is
not present, sufficient votes are not received by the date of the Meeting, or
the holders of shares present in person or by proxy determine to adjourn the
Meeting for any other reason, a person named as proxy may propose one or more
adjournments of the Meeting from time to time to permit further solicitation of
proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment those
shares which they represent if adjournment is necessary to obtain a quorum or to
obtain a favorable vote on any proposal.

    The Company will count all shares represented by proxies that reflect
abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as
to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the
persons entitled to vote, and as to which the broker or nominee does not have
discretionary voting power) as shares that are present and entitled to vote for
purposes of determining a quorum. Assuming the presence of a quorum, broker
non-votes and abstentions have the effect of a negative vote.

STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE

    Stockholders of each Fund at the close of business on October 23, 2000 will
be entitled to be present and vote at the Meeting. Stockholders are entitled to
one vote for each share held and fractional votes for fractional shares held.
Stockholders will vote together, without regard to Fund or share class, on
