Russell Funds
Russell manages more than 340 funds, allowing comprehensive and strategic diversification covering equities, fixed income, real estate and alternative investments. In most cases, each individual mutual or institutional fund includes a select combination of three to 10 outside investment managers.

Why we manage managers
For over 35 years, Russell has set itself apart from other investment firms by objectively combining the individual strengths of multiple investment managers. This disciplined process builds portfolios of complementary money managers similar to the way those managers might assemble their own diversified portfolio of securities. Russell's multi-dimensional investment process (across multiple assets, styles and managers), allows investors to focus on the benefits of long-term diversification, active management and goal-oriented planning. The goal is to reduce risk and provide benchmark-beating performance over the long term while encouraging investors to avoid the chase and hype surrounding past performance.

With approximately 2,200 associates in more than 20 offices worldwide, Russell provides services in all the world's major financial centers. Founded in 1936, the company generates revenues of approximately C$1.6 billion (2007) and has been a subsidiary of Northwestern Mutual since January 1999. Headquartered in Tacoma, Wash., USA, Russell operates offices in New York, London, Toronto, Sydney, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore and Auckland.
