Previous IMO March 2010 (PDF) About Russell's Investment Manager Outlook A pioneer in multi-manager investing and the creator of the Russell Indexes, Russell manages approximately $140 billion* in assets. We work with more than 2,900 clients, ranging from small and mid-sized organizations to many of the world's largest and most sophisticated investors, responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars. Russell Investments has extraordinary access to senior-level investment decision makers. Prior to the end of each quarter, Russell surveys those decision makers to collect their topline opinions about the direction of the markets, sectors/styles to watch, and trends on the horizon that could impact investment strategy. The result of this survey is Russell's Investment Manager Outlook that is published during the final week of each quarter. Growth investments focus on stocks of companies whose earnings/profitability are accelerating in the short term or have grown consistently over the long term. Such investments may provide minimal dividends which could otherwise cushion stock prices in a market decline. Stock value may rise and fall significantly base, in part, on investors' perceptions of the company, rather than on fundamental analysis of the stocks. Investors should carefully consider the additional risks involved in growth investments. Specific sector investing such as real estate can be subject to different and greater risks than more diversified investments. Declines in the value of real estate, economic conditions, property taxes and tax laws and interest rates all present potential risks to real estate investments. Copyright © Russell Investments 2010.
