About Russell's Investment Manager Outlook

As the creators of the Russell indexes, consultants to approximately US$2 trillion in assets worldwide, and the only firm that continually monitors and researches 4,600 investment manager products , we have extraordinary access to senior-level investment decision makers.

Prior to the end of each quarter, we survey those decision makers to collect their topline opinions about the direction of the markets, sectors/styles to watch, and trends on the horizon that could impact investment strategy. The result of this survey is our Investment Manager Outlook that is published during the final week of each quarter.

Russell Investment Group is a Washington, USA corporation, which operates through subsidiaries worldwide, including Russell Investments, and is a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Growth investments focus on stocks of companies whose earnings/profitability are accelerating in the short term or have grown consistently over the long term. Such investments may provide minimal dividends which could otherwise cushion stock prices in a market decline. Stock value may rise and fall significantly base, in part, on investors' perceptions of the company, rather than on fundamental analysis of the stocks. Investors should carefully consider the additional risks involved in growth investments.

Specific sector investing such as real estate can be subject to different and greater risks than more diversified investments. Declines in the value of real estate, economic conditions, property taxes and tax laws and interest rates all present potential risks to real estate investments.
