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 in a global market-oriented approach and provides exposure to all major property sectors. We believe this group, when combined, provides a more durable investment process and consistent performance profile than a single manager. – Bruce Eidelson Allocation of fund assets As of 01/17/2012     % Allocated   Year assigned Global market-oriented         AEW Capital Management, L.P.   33%   1996 Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc.   34%   2007 INVESCO Advisers, Inc., through its INVESCO Real Estate Division   33%   2003 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. 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.
