Russell U.S. Value Fund Enhanced blend of value managers 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 Printable fact sheet (PDF) Tax information Portfolio manager In this all-capitalization fund, Russell combines managers with diverse value strategies to help neutralize a natural tendency of many value managers to vary significantly from the benchmark's sector structure. For example, one manager may be an aggressive value manager that focuses on undervalued large-cap stocks. Another manager may provide diversification by focusing on stocks paying dividends. By combining these managers, we try to reduce some of the risks normally associated with a single-style approach. – David Hintz Allocation of fund assets As of 01/17/2012     % Allocated   Year assigned Value         DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc.   28%   2003 Numeric Investors LLC   30%   2010 Snow Capital Management L.P.   26%   2010 Systematic Financial Management, L.P.   16%   2001 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.
