The Portfolio intends to use futures contracts for non-hedging purposes in order to obtain equity exposure on its cash position. The Portfolio will typically hold cash so that it can meet anticipated redemption requests without selling portfolio securities. We expect to use futures to allow the Portfolio to hold cash while receiving a return, which is similar to that of the Portfolio's benchmark.

Who should invest in this fund?

The Russell Diversified Monthly Income Portfolio is suitable for those investors who:
 
  • want to receive monthly distributions and are willing to accept a return of capital
  • want to invest in equities and fixed income
  • have a moderate tolerance for risk
  • are looking for medium to long-term growth
  • can tolerate volatility in the short term

Distribution policy
It is the current intention to distribute between 5% to 9% of the value of the Pool each year, regardless of whether the Pool earned that much in income. Each year, we will fix the annual distribution rate for that year, and this shall be expressed as a fixed amount per share.

The Pool will pay distributions monthly and will distribute any excess income and capital gains annually, in December. The character for Canadian tax purposes of distributions received by you during the year from the Pool will not be determined with certainty until the end of the Pool's taxation year. At such time, the income of the Pool will be allocated to all unitholders who received a distribution from the Pool during the year. This allocation of income, including the particular character of the Pool's income, will be pro rated based on the Pools total distributions for the year.

If the Pool's income was less than the annual distribution rate for that year, then the distribution will include a return of capital. If an investor elects to receive their monthly distribution in cash and not re-invest distributions, it is expected that the value of their investment in this Portfolio will decline over time.

Portfolio distributions will automatically be distributed to you in cash unless you inform Russell in writing that you prefer to have your distributions reinvested in additional securities. Distributions by the Pool are not guaranteed to occur on a specific date and the Pool is not responsible for any fees or charges incurred by you because the Pool did not effect a distribution on a particular day.
