After Taxes on Distributions. Returns After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Returns Before Taxes for the same period if there were no distributions for that period. 2 Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares. If a Fund has realized capital losses, the Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than the Return Before taxes and the Return After Taxes on Distributions. The calculation of Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes that a shareholder has sufficient capital gains of the same character to offset any capital losses on a sale of fund shares and that the shareholder may therefore deduct the entire capital loss. 3 After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. On October 15, 2007, the Diversified Bond Fund was closed to all new and existing shareholders. On October 22, 2007 the Diversified Bond Fund was merged into the Fixed Income I Fund.

Returns After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Returns Before Taxes for the same period if there were no distributions for that period. 2 Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares. If a Fund has realized capital losses, the Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be higher than the Return Before taxes and the Return After Taxes on Distributions. The calculation of Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares assumes that a shareholder has sufficient capital gains of the same character to offset any capital losses on a sale of fund shares and that the shareholder may therefore deduct the entire capital loss. 3 After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

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. If necessary to maintain a certain net yield for 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. *The yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total return of the Fund. The Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses to be borne by shareholders after application of a contractual transfer agency fee waiver through February 28, 2010 and a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010. These contractual agreements may not be terminated during the relevant periods except at the Board of Trustees' discretion. Details of these agreements are in the current prospectus. Absent these reductions, the funds return would have been lower.
