Russell U.S. Growth Fund
Focusing on growth

How to invest with Russell Fund objective
Seeks to provide long-term capital growth


Portfolio manager

David Hintz, Russell Portfolio ManagerThis fund includes companies with earnings that may grow faster than the market predicts or those with earnings that are gaining momentum. The way we combine managers helps combat the potential increase in risk inherent in the nature of these investment strategies.

For example, one manager may emphasize the early identification of mid-cap companies with attractive niches that they believe are poised to become dominant large-cap growth companies. As a balance, we may include another manager that identifies stocks it believes have attractive long-term growth prospects and are under-appreciated by the market.

Managing money differently
The Russell approach has been trusted for decades by many of the world's largest investors; our mutual funds allow you to employ that same approach. We identify investment managers we believe have exceptional capabilities, blend them to help manage risk through diversification, and constantly monitor them. Regardless of market conditions, Russell's investment approach remains constant.


Money managers listed are current as of 01/17/2012. Subject to the fund's board approval, Russell has the right to engage or terminate a money manager at any time and without a shareholder vote, based on an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments in the funds are not deposits with or other liabilities of any of the money managers and are subject to investment risk, including loss of income and principal invested and possible delays in payment of redemption proceeds. The money managers do not guarantee the performance of any fund or any particular rate of return.

The above represents the percentage of fund assets allocated to money managers, excluding the fund's cash reserves. Fund assets not allocated to money managers are managed directly by Russell for a variety of purposes.

Small capitalization (small cap) investments involve stocks of companies with smaller levels of market capitalization (generally less than $2 billion) than larger company stocks (large cap). Small cap investments are subject to considerable price fluctuations and are more volatile than large company stocks. Investors should consider the additional risks involved in small cap investments.




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

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
