The Fund principally invests in equity securities, including common stocks, of infrastructure companies economically tied to a number of countries around the world, including the U.S., in a globally diversified manner. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets securities.

Russell Investment Management, LLC ( RIM ) provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund. The Fund is advised by RIM and multiple money managers unaffiliated with RIM pursuant to a multi-manager approach. RIM may change the Fund's asset allocation at any time. The Funds money managers have non-discretionary asset management assignments pursuant to which they provide a model portfolio to RIM representing their investment recommendations, based upon which RIM purchases and sells securities for the Fund. For Fund assets not allocated to money manager strategies, RIM utilizes quantitative and/or rules-based processes and qualitative analysis to assess Fund characteristics and invest in securities and instruments which provide the desired exposures. RIM may use strategies based on indexes. RIM also manages the Funds cash balances. The Fund usually, but not always, pursues a strategy to be fully invested by exposing its cash to the performance of certain markets by purchasing equity securities and/or derivatives, which typically include index futures contracts. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments and may use derivatives to take both long and short positions. The Fund may enter into spot and forward currency contracts to facilitate settlement of securities transactions. The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers by purchasing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).
