Russell Tax-Managed U.S. Large Cap Fund
Combining tax-managed opportunities with multi-manager benefits

How to invest with Russell
Fund objective
Seeks to provide long-term capital growth on an after-tax basis
Portfolio manager
The managers in this fund are selected based on both the tax sensitivity of their investment approach and their stock selection abilities. Russell chooses managers that use many different investment styles, from ones that look for companies they believe have rapidly growing earnings to those that look for companies that are undervalued.
Managers in this fund typically hold stocks over a longer investment horizon than in an average large-cap fund that is not tax managed, as long as a stock's fundamentals remain strong. As a result of this longer-term investment horizon, this approach typically avoids short-term capital gains, which should produce a more tax-efficient portfolio over time.

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.
Income from funds managed for tax efficiency may be subject to an alternative minimum tax and/or any applicable state and local taxes.
Fund objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be carefully considered before investing.
