Russell U.S. Quantitative Equity Fund Harnessing the power of research How to invest with Russell Fund objective Seeks to provide long-term capital growth OVERVIEW PERFORMANCE HOLDINGS & DETAILS MANAGERS More fund information Daily prices & standardized performance Prospectus & reports Money manager overview (PDF) Printable fact sheet (PDF) Tax information Portfolio manager This fund focuses on quantitative analysis of the U.S. equities market. Each manager Russell selects uses a different quantitative approach to determine a stock's relative attractiveness. We analyze the various quantitative approaches and select managers whose styles are intended to be complementary. For example, one manager may select stocks by building models that look for undervalued large-cap securities that appear ready to rise in value. Another may have a more complex model, ranking stocks based on many factors and then building a portfolio of the top-ranked opportunities. In addition, the managers in the fund may use limited long/short strategies whereby Russell allows them to short a portion of their stock holdings they find unattractive and then use those proceeds to purchase different stocks they rank as attractive. This illustrates how we blend together complementary styles and assignments to take advantage of a manager's unique strengths. – Richard Yasenchak Allocation of fund assets As of 01/17/2012     % Allocated   Year assigned Market-oriented         Aronson+Johnson+Ortiz, L.P.   10%   2003 INTECH Investment Management, LLC   24%   2008 Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc.   22%   1999 Numeric Investors, LLC   22%   2009 PanAgora Asset Management, Inc.   22%   2011 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.
