Russell Fixed Income Class - US Dollar Hedged Series


The Russell Fixed Income US Dollar Hedged Series is ideal for investors who want US dollar denominated exposure while maintaining key Canadian and international asset classes. The US Dollar Hedged Series offers protection from movements in the US/CAD dollar exchange rate.

A fixed-income solution with built-in currency hedging.
This innovation from Russell Investments allows you to invest US dollars in a portfolio of high-quality Canadian assets while shielding yourself from the impact of USD$/CAD$1 exchange rate movements. Your initial investment is made in US dollars, which Russell converts into Canadian dollars to purchase the underlying securities held by the fund. Russell then uses a currency hedging strategy to protect your investment from future USD/CAD currency fluctuations.

Portfolio composition of the Russell Canadian Fixed Income Fund

The Russell Fixed Income Class enters into forward contracts under which it will swap an equity return for the Russell Canadian Fixed Income Fund return.

1The series will minimize, not eliminate currency fluctuations. For more information see the Simplified Prospectus of Russell Managed Yield Class (RMYC). Using OTC currency forwards for RMYC - US Dollar Series adds another step in the settlement process versus other series of RMYC which do not use these instruments. Thus, there may be some market movement which would cause performance differences between the US Dollar Series and other series. The cost for the currency hedging will be estimated to be 4 to 5 bps. This chart is for descriptive purposes only. The chart shows hypothetical assumptions only and are not representations or predictions with respect to actual or expected future performance or returns of Russell Managed Yield Class or Russell Managed Yield Class US Dollar Series.

Unless otherwise noted, all the rates shown are for the period ending 04/30/2013. The rates shown are compounded yearly. They also include changes in unit value and all money that has been re-invested.
