NAVs do not reflect deduction of sales charges (maximum: equity Funds - 5.75%; fixed-income Funds - 3.75%) on Russell Class A shares. If reflected, the performance quoted would be lower.

Additional information regarding performance history

1 Return 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.

4 Reflects deduction of the maximum sales charge of 5.75%.

5 Reflects deduction of the maximum sales charge of 3.75%.


The Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of:
  • for the Russell Strategic Bond Fund and Russell Short Duration Bond Fund a contractual transfer agency fee waiver through February 28, 2010; and
  • for the Russell Strategic Bond Fund a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010.
The 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.

1 Return 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. For more information, please contact your financial professional.


The Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of:
  • for the Russell Strategic Bond Fund, Russell Short Duration Bond Fund, Russell Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Russell Tax-Managed U.S. Large Cap Fund and Russell Tax-Managed U.S. Mid & Small Cap Fund a contractual transfer agency fee waiver through February 28, 2010; and
  • for the Russell Strategic Bond Fund, Russell U.S. Growth Fund, and Russell Tax-Managed U.S. Mid & Small Cap Fund, a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010; and
  • for the Russell U.S. Growth Fund and Russell Tax-Managed U.S. Mid & Small Cap Fund, a contractual cap on expenses through February 28, 2010.
The 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.

1 Return 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.


The Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of:
  • for the Russell U.S. Core Equity Fund, Russell U.S. Quantitative Equity Fund, Russell U.S. Growth Fund, Russell International Developed Markets Fund, Russell Strategic Bond Fund, Russell Investment Grade Bond Fund, a contractual transfer agency fee waiver through February 28, 2010; and
  • for the Russell U.S. Growth Fund and Russell Strategic Bond Fund, a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010; and
  • for the Russell U.S. Growth Fund a contractual cap on expenses through February 28, 2010.
The 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.

1 Return 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.


For the Russell Strategic Bond Fund, the Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010. The 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.

NAVs do not reflect deduction of sales charges (maximum 5.75%) on LifePoints Class A shares. If reflected, the performance quoted would be lower.

Fund performance is calculated based on the SEC standardized method. Performance is reported net of fund advisory and administrative fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees; and gross of any financial intermediary fees. Performance for periods prior to the commenced operation of the Class A shares is that of the Fund's Class E shares. Class E shares and Class A shares have comparable fees and expenses. Each Fund commenced operation of its Class A Shares on the following dates: Balanced Strategy Fund, Equity Growth Strategy Fund - March 04, 2003; Growth Strategy Fund - March 10, 2003; Moderate Strategy Fund - March 05, 2003; Conservative Strategy Fund - March 03, 2003. Refer to the Prospectus for additional information.

1 Return 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.

4 Reflects deduction of the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Class E performance for periods prior to the commenced operation of the Class A shares has been adjusted to reflect the Class A maximum sales charge of 5.75%.


For the LifePoints Funds Target Portfolio Series, the Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010 and a contractual cap on expenses through February 28, 2010. The 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.

1 Return 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.


For the LifePoints Funds Target Portfolio Series, the Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio may be less than the Total Operating Expense Ratio and represents the actual expenses expected to be borne by shareholders after application of a contractual advisory fee waiver and/or reimbursement through February 28, 2010 and a contractual cap on expenses through February 28, 2010. The 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.
