About Russell



Our purpose is to improve financial security for people.

Russell is an investment company with a global reach. Although we are a profit-seeking company, profit maximization is not our sole purpose. Rather, we seek to improve financial security for people—including our associates as well as our clients.

In the United States, we are headquartered in Tacoma, Wash., with offices in New York, San Diego, Milwaukee, Chicago, Tampa and San Francisco (Russell/Pantheon). Outside the U.S., we have offices in London, Amsterdam, Paris, Johannesburg, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Tokyo, Singapore and Toronto.

We work with investors of all sizes—including the largest corporations, financial advisors, pension fund administrators, foundations, endowments and individual investors—to fulfill our Purpose of Improving Financial Security for People.

We provide a full range of professional money management, consulting and market analytics and multi-manager mutual fund products to investors in 47 countries. Our clients look to us for their investment needs. These groups seek our advice on how to invest more than $910 billion, and they have entrusted us with the direct management of $180.3 billion in assets.

On average, between $2 billion and $4 billion is traded daily for clients by Russell's innovative implementation services teams.

Investors also draw on Russell's suite of global stock market indexes to gain an objective measure of stock performance. Many of the world's leading banks, brokerage firms, insurance firms and independent investment professionals turn to Russell to provide sophisticated investment programs for their clients.

Our values
Russell's values and people are the foundation of our company and the reason for our long track-record of success. We believe that non-negotiable integrity is vital in business and in life, and that putting our people first is the key to exceeding client expectations.

We encourage our associates to contribute their time and talent to serve community needs, and we match their contributions of dollars and time. You can learn more by reading Russell's 2008 Community Investment Report (PDF) or reviewing a complete list of 2005 grants and sponsorships (PDF).
