Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide income and some long-term capital growth primarily through exposure to Canadian fixed income investments, foreign fixed income investments and equity securities. To achieve its objective, the Fund will invest primarily in other mutual funds. The investment objective cannot be changed unless shareholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

The equity exposure of the Fund is roughly 80% fixed income and 20% equity and real asset. To achieve its objective, the Fund currently invests primarily in Underlying Funds. The decision to invest in an Underlying Fund is based on Russell Investments’ assessment of the market outlook and the Underlying Fund’s ability to help the Fund meet its stated investment objectives.
