Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of asset classes that are directly or indirectly linked to physical assets, or to assets that the investment manager of the fund believes have a tendency to maintain their real (after inflation) value over time. The Fund invests in or gains exposure to primarily equity securities, fixed-income securities, permitted commodities and securities of other mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests primarily in Underlying Funds and may invest in or obtain exposure to other investment products and strategies. The decision to gain exposure to an Underlying Fund or other investment product or strategy is based on Russell Investments’ assessment of the market outlook and the ability of the investment to help the Fund meet its stated investment objectives.
