Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide maximum total return, primarily through capital appreciation, by assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily expected from developed markets outside North America through exposure primarily to equity securities of emerging market countries.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests in Russell Investments Emerging Markets Equity Pool. The Fund may use derivatives from time to time for hedging and non-hedging purposes. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge against changes in the value of the Fund’s investments caused by changes to the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and other currencies.
