Each Pool in the Russell Sovereign Investment Program (other than Sovereign Diversified Monthly Income Portfolio) offers Class A, B, E, F and O units. The Sovereign Diversified Monthly Income Portfolio has E-5 and E-7 units. The returns of each class of units may differ as a result of varying fees and expenses. Class A and B units have the same management fee. Your adviser is paid a trailer fee as compensation for providing services to you. Class F units are sold only to investors enrolled in a fee-for-service or wrap program and these units have a reduced management fee and do not pay trailer fees to the adviser. Instead each investor negotiates a separate, ongoing fee that is paid directly to their adviser and is based on the market value of the investors' assets. Class O units are only available from Russell Investments Canada Limited and are generally not sold to the public. They are intended to be used in fund of fund arrangements and other wrap programs sponsored by us. They are also available to large institutional investors or other accounts as we may determine from time to time on a case-by-case basis. No management fees are charged to the Pools with respect to the Class O units. Instead, each Class O investor negotiates a separate fee that is paid directly by the investor. Class E units targets large investors and as such, have a higher minimum investment and a lower trailer and management fee. For more information about our Pools please see Legal Information.
