Russell International Developed Markets Fund
The opportunity of international markets

Class S
September 2, 2008

Managing money differently
The Russell approach has been trusted for decades by many of the world's largest investors; our mutual funds allow you to employ that same approach. We identify investment managers we believe have exceptional capabilities, blend them to help manage risk through diversification, and constantly monitor them. Regardless of market conditions, Russell's investment approach remains constant.

*The fund's adviser may employ a "select holding" strategy for a portion of the fund's assets that it determines not to allocate to the money managers. The strategy is designed to increase the fund's exposure to stocks that are viewed as attractive by multiple money managers. The use of the select holdings and strategy will amplify the fund's security risk and potential underperformance.
Money managers listed are current as of 09/02/08. Subject to the fund's Board approval, Russell has the right to engage or terminate a money manager at any time and without a shareholder vote, based on an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investment strategies are the goals of the individual money managers; there is no assurance that the exact objective will always be met.

Non-U.S. markets and emerging or developing markets entail different risks than those typically associated with U.S. markets, including currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, accounting changes and foreign taxation. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid and more volatile than the U.S., and emerging markets securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. and longer-established non-U.S. markets.

For purchases over a certain minimum investment amount, another Russell mutual fund with similar investment objectives, strategies and risks, but generally lower annual fund operating expenses, may be available. Because this other fund is different than that listed above, a transfer between them may be a taxable event. Please contact your financial professional for more information.
Diversification and strategic asset allocation do not assure profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
