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. Each of the LifePoints® Funds, Target Portfolio Series, invests its assets in shares of a number of underlying Russell Funds. From time to time, the fund’s adviser may modify the target asset allocation for any fund and/or the underlying funds in which a fund invests. In addition, the Funds may in the future invest in other funds which are not currently underlying funds. The LifePoints® Funds Target Distribution Strategies are new funds without operating history, which may result in additional risk. Each fund seeks to provide a steady, but not guaranteed, level of distributions to its shareholders for the term of the fund. This is contingent on the fund having sufficient assets to make such distributions. If a fund does not have sufficient assets to meet its investment objective(s), it will distribute the remaining assets and the fund will close prior to the end of its term. If this happens, your clients will stop receiving the target annual distributions and the fund may distribute its remaining assets at an inopportune time. Copyright © Russell Investments 2008.
