Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth with income through approximately equal exposure to equity securities and fixed income investments and financial instruments. The investment objective cannot be changed unless shareholders of the Fund approve the change at a meeting.

Investment Strategy

The Fund currently intends to invest approximately 64% of its assets in fixed income securities and 36% of its assets in equity and real assets securities. 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 meets its stated investment objectives.
