SUPPLEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2000

PROPOSED REORGANIZATION. The Board of Directors of Dresdner RCM Capital Funds,
Inc. (the "Capital Company"), on behalf of its series, the Dresdner RCM MidCap
Fund, Dresdner RCM Small Cap Fund and Dresdner RCM International Growth Equity
Fund, have unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Agreement") between the Capital Company, on behalf of its series, and Dresdner
RCM Global Funds, Inc. (the "Global Company").
The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption
of all of the liabilities of each series of the Capital Company to a
corresponding, newly created series of the Global Company in a tax-free exchange
for shares of the relevant series of the Global Company. Following such
exchange, each series of the Global Company will distribute the corresponding,
newly created series of the Global Company shares to its shareholders pro rata,
in liquidation of the respective series of the Capital Company (the
"Reorganization").
A special meeting (the "Meeting") of the stockholders of the Capital Company
will be held on or about December 18, 2000 to consider the Reorganization. In
connection with the Meeting, the Global Company will be filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Proxy Statement describing the
Reorganization and a Prospectus for the newly created series of the Global
Company. If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions
required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to
become effective on or about December 31, 2000.
