Russell Separate Accounts Tax-efficiency and customization in a single brokerage account Russell Separate Accounts enable affluent investors to leverage strategic tax management at the core of their portfolio. What's a separate account? Separate accounts provide individual investors access to institutional-quality money managers at reduced account minimums. Within this structure, the investor directly owns the securities in the portfolio, and can impose restrictions against the purchase of specific securities as a means of customizing the portfolio for their own requirements. This flexibility allows the investor the benefits of direct security ownership combined with professional management. When you work with your financial advisor to invest in Russell Separate Accounts, you gain access to an experienced mix of institutional money managers within a single, simple-to-follow brokerage account mapped to your long-term objectives. An uncommon level of access Beyond the traditional customization and tax-efficiency benefits of separate accounts, Russell Separate Accounts incorporate in-depth manager research to select some of the world's best institutional investment managers. Whereas other separate account products offer investors a selection of managers typically filtered based on brand name and recent performance, Russell Separate Accounts go beyond delivering a "recommended" list to package complementary managers intentionally chosen to provide broad coverage of specific asset classes. Objective manager oversight Russell's objective approach to evaluating and selecting money managers is designed to be clear and uncompromised at all times. Selected money managers are not Russell employees. They are hired and replaced as appropriate to create optimal manager combinations in pursuit of a particular investment's objective.
