Fund objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be carefully considered before investing.

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.

The Russell Money Market Fund is participating in the U.S. Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds which will guarantee to shareholders that they will receive $1.00 for each money market fund share held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. Any increase in the number of shares held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be guaranteed. If a shareholder closes the account, any future investment in the fund will not be guaranteed. If the number of shares held in an account fluctuates, shareholders will be covered for either the number of shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount held on the date the guarantee is triggered, whichever is less. The guarantee program extends through September 18, 2009, and may not be extended thereafter. Please see the fund�s prospectus for additional information.

To maintain a certain net yield for class A shares of the Russell Money Market Fund, payments of the 12b-1 distribution fees will be temporarily suspended for the three-month period beginning July 1, 2009. This suspension may be extended for the three-month period beginning October 1, 2009.

In addition, if necessary to maintain certain net yields for either class A or class S shares of the Russell Money Market Fund, the fund's advisor may temporarily and voluntarily waive, reduce or reimburse all or any portion of the fund�s transfer agency fee, advisory fee and administrative fee. The fund's advisor may recoup from the fund any portion of such fees waived, reduced or reimbursed pursuant to these arrangements during the previous 36 months. There is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a positive net yield.
