Each Pool in the Russell Sovereign Investment Program® (other than Russell Diversified Monthly Income Portfolio and Russell Retirement Essentials Portfolio) offers Series A, B, E, F and O, units except for the Russell Canadian Dividend Pool which does not offer Series A. The Russell Diversified Monthly Income Portfolio offers E-5, E-7, I-5, I-7, F-5, F-7 and OS units. The Russell Retirement Essentials Portfolio offers B, E-5, E-6, E-7, I-5, I-6, I-7, F-5, F-6, F-7 and O units. The returns of each series of units may differ as a result of varying fees and expenses. Series A and B units have the same management fee. Your dealer is paid a trailer fee as compensation for providing services to you. Series F units (Fee-Based Securities) are available only to investors who participate in an eligible wrap or fee-for-service program. Fee Based Securities have a reduced management fee. We do not pay trailer fees to dealers for Fee Based Securities. Instead each investor negotiates a separate, ongoing fee that is paid directly to his or her dealer and is based on the market value of the investor's assets.
Series O and OS units generally are not sold to the public and are intended to be used in fund-on-fund investments and other wrap programs sponsored by us. These series also are available through us to large institutional investors and other accounts as we may determine from time to time on a case-by-case basis. Each investor in these series negotiates a separate fee that is paid by the investor directly to us.. No management fees are charged to the Pools with respect to the Series O and OS units. Instead, each Series O and OS investor negotiates a separate fee that is paid directly by the investor. Series E units are intended for large investors and as such, have a higher minimum investment and a lower trailer and management fee. For more information about our Pools please see Legal Information.
