Pioneering Investment Process
Russell utilises a proprietary investment process that goes beyond traditional methods, building layer upon layer of diversification to better manage risk. With diversification as the focal point of the process, Russell allocates not only among investment styles and asset classes, but among leading managers as well.
Our pioneering process uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to pick some of the world's best managers. This combination of objective analysis and face-to-face interviews contributes to a better understanding of a manager's prospects for success. But selecting and combining managers is just the beginning. All managers chosen are continually monitored for quality and performance and are replaced or reassigned whenever necessary.
