Fund Description

The Fund has a non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities. The Fund invests principally in common stocks of dividend-paying large and medium capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund defines large and medium capitalization stocks as stocks of those companies represented by the Russell 1000® Index or within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Index. The Fund may also invest in equity securities economically tied to non-U.S. countries.
Russell Investment Management, LLC (RIM) provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund. The Fund is advised by RIM and multiple money managers unaffiliated with RIM pursuant to a multi-style (e.g., value, market-oriented and defensive) and multi-manager approach. RIM may change the Fund's asset allocation at any time. The Fund's money managers have non-discretionary asset management assignments pursuant to which they provide a model portfolio to RIM representing their investment recommendations, based upon which RIM purchases and sells securities for the Fund. For Fund assets not allocated to money manager strategies, RIM utilizes quantitative and/or rules-based processes and qualitative analysis to assess Fund characteristics and invest in securities and instruments which provide the desired exposures.  RIM may use strategies based on indexes. RIM also manages the Fund's cash balances. The Fund usually, but not always, pursues a strategy to be fully invested by exposing all or a portion of its cash to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing equity securities and/or derivatives, which typically include index futures contracts.
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments and may use derivatives to take both long and short positions. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks and partnership interests. The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers by purchasing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies, known as real estate investment trusts (REITs), that own and/or manage properties. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to earn income. Please refer to the Investment Objective and Investment Strategies section in the Fund's Prospectus for further information.
