Russell funds
Russell has more than 320 funds, allowing comprehensive and strategic diversification covering equities, fixed income, real estate and alternative investments. In most cases, each retail or institutional fund includes a select combination of four to 10 outside investment managers.

Why we manage managers
For 30 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.The process, known at Russell as MULTI ASSET MULTI STYLE MULTI MANAGER™, 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 more than 2,000 associates in 20 primary offices around the world, Russell provides services in all the world's major financial centers. Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, USA, Russell operates offices in New York, London, Toronto, San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Paris, Singapore and Auckland.
