Portfolio manager

Bruce Eidelson, Russell Portfolio ManagerIn this fund, Russell's goal is to combine managers with complementary investment approaches for effectiveness during different phases of real estate, economic and stock market cycles. We have chosen a mix of managers intended to help manage risk while increasing the fund's potential to outperform its benchmark in a wide variety of market environments.

This mix of managers uses a range of investment strategies, including value, growth and market-oriented approaches and provides exposure to all major property sectors. We believe this group, when combined, provides a more durable investment approach and consistent performance profile than a single manager.

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 09/30/2009. 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.

Specific sector investing can be subject to different and greater risks than more diversified investments. Declines in the value of real estate, economic conditions, property taxes, tax laws and interest rates all present potential risks to real estate investments. Fund investments in non-U.S. markets can involve risks of currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, different accounting standards and foreign taxation.




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

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
