RCM will start marketing its mutual funds directly to 401(k) plan sponsors next month, said T.J. Deutz, head of sales and marketing. RCM recently resolved a Glass-Steagall issue at the end of 2004, making it possible to market funds to 401(k) plan sponsors. PIMCO is the official distributor for the funds; PIMCO and RCM are both subsidiaries of Allianz Dresdner. RCM has $1 billion in defined contribution assets under management.
