The LifePoints® Funds are a series of fund of funds which expose an investor to the risks of the underlying funds proportionate to their allocation. Investment in LifePoints Funds involves direct expenses of each fund and indirect expenses of the underlying funds, which together can be higher than those incurred when investing directly in an underlying fund. The LifePoints® Funds Target Distribution Strategies funds invests its assets in shares of a number of underlying Russell Funds. Each fund is managed pursuant to a quantitative model and employs a dynamic asset allocation strategy. The underlying funds to which the funds allocate their assets and the percentage allocations will change over time and a fund may not always invest in all of the underlying funds. The funds may also invest in fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies and instrumentalities and in currency futures and options. It is expected that as a fund draws near the end of its term, it may be more effective for it to invest in index and currency futures and options rather than in shares of the underlying funds. In addition, the fund's adviser may also manage assets of the underlying funds directly for a variety of purposes. Each of the LifePoints® Funds, Target Portfolio and Target Date Series funds invests its assets in shares of a number of underlying Russell Funds. The allocation of each Strategy Fund's assets to the underlying funds of the Target Date Series is based solely on time horizon and will become more conservative over time until approximately the year indicated in the Fund's name, at which time the allocation will remain fixed. The asset allocation of the In Retirement Fund is fixed. From time to time, the fund's adviser expects to modify the target strategic asset allocation for any fund and/or the underlying funds in which a fund invests including the addition of new underlying funds. In addition, the fund's adviser may also manage assets of the underlying funds directly for a variety of purposes. Copyright © Russell Investments 2011. All rights reserved.
