Investment Objectives

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return and additional diversification for Canadian investors primarily through exposure to equity securities issued by non-Canadian and non-U.S. companies listed on recognized stock exchanges, and fixed income securities and financial instruments issued by non-Canadian and non-U.S. governments and companies.

Investment Strategy

To achieve its objective, the Fund invests in Russell Investments Overseas 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.
