1.   Organization

Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Investment Company” or “RET” or “Trust”) is a series investment company comprised of 26 different investment portfolios that were in operation as of June 30, 2012. This Quarterly Report reports on the Russell Equity ETF (the “Fund”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Delaware statutory trust. Prior to April 15, 2011, the name of the Trust was U.S. One Trust and the Fund name was One Fund ETF.

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities and may be designed to track an index or to be actively managed. The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of other exchange-traded funds (“Underlying ETFs”).

Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of the Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by the Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors. Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. The date the shares began trading on the secondary market is the “commencement of operations” date.

The Fund issues and redeems shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only certain large institutional investors may purchase or redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund at NAV (“Authorized Participants”). These transactions are in exchange for certain securities similar to the Fund’s portfolio and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from the Fund.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Fund values portfolio securities according to Board-approved securities valuation procedures which include market and fair value procedures. In addition, the Fund values the shares of the Underlying ETFs at the last reported sale or settlement price. Money market fund securities are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the securities valuation procedures to Russell Funds Services Company (“RFSC”).

U.S. GAAP defines fair market value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires a separate disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, and 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market values of financial instruments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Notes to Financial Statements   5


Table of Contents

Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust

Russell Equity ETF

Notes to Financial Statements, continued — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Investments in other mutual funds (including unregistered collective vehicles) are valued at their net asset value per share, and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities, at Fair Value

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of financial instruments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes). When RFSC applies fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a Fund’s NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the securities valuation procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the process cannot guarantee that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in/out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund, if considered material.

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to requirements relating to fair valuation measurements which represent amendments to achieve common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

The amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements relate to (i) measuring the fair value of the financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; (ii) application of premium and discount in a fair value measurement; and (iii) additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are reflected as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. This may cause the NAV stated in the financial statements to be different from the NAV at which shareholders may transact. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Distributions of income and capital gains from the Underlying ETFs are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk

In the normal course of business, the Underlying ETFs trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to the credit risk, the Underlying ETFs may also be exposed to counterparty risk or risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the

relevant assets recorded in the Underlying ETFs’ financial statements (the “Assets”). The Assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

ETF Specific Risk

The Fund is a “fund of funds”. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of other exchange-traded funds. The Adviser employs an asset allocation strategy that seeks to provide exposure to multiple asset classes in a variety of domestic and foreign markets. The Adviser’s asset allocation strategy establishes a target asset allocation for the Fund and the Adviser then implements the strategy by selecting Underlying ETFs that represent each of the desired asset classes, sectors and strategies.

The Adviser employs an active management strategy, meaning that it buys and holds Underlying ETFs based on its asset allocation views, not based on time period dependent rebalancing policies.

 

3.   Related Party Transactions, Fees and Expenses

Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”) advises the Fund and RFSC is the Fund’s administrator. RFSC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIMCo. RIMCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company (a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company). Frank Russell Company provides ongoing money manager research and trade placement services to RET and RIMCo.

The Fund may also invest its cash reserves (the “Cash Balances”) in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund, an unregistered fund advised by RIMCo and administered by RFSC. As of June 30, 2012, the Fund has invested $5,457 in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund.

5.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions that may have occurred since June 30, 2012, through the date the Quarterly Report was issued, that would merit recognition or additional disclosure in the Quarterly Report. During this review, nothing was discovered, except for the following, which would require disclosure within the Quarterly Report.

On August 16, 2012, the Board of Trustees of Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Trust”), has approved an orderly liquidation of 25 of the 26 different investment portfolios referred to as the Funds. They are; of Russell 1000 Low Beta ETF, Russell 1000 High Beta ETF, Russell 1000 Low Volatility ETF, Russell 1000 High Volatility ETF, Russell 1000 High Momentum ETF, Russell 2000 Low Beta ETF, Russell 2000 High Beta ETF, Russell 2000 Low Volatility ETF, Russell 2000 High Volatility ETF, Russell 2000 High Momentum ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. Low Beta ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. Low Volatility ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. High Momentum ETF, Russell Aggressive Growth ETF, Russell Consistent Growth ETF, Russell Growth at a Reasonable Price ETF, Russell Contrarian ETF, Russell Equity Income ETF, Russell Low P/E ETF, Russell Small Cap Aggressive Growth ETF, Russell Small Cap Consistent Growth ETF, Russell Small Cap Low P/E ETF, Russell Small Cap Contrarian ETF, Russell High Dividend Yield ETF and Russell Small Cap High Dividend Yield ETF, each a series of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds’ Board of Trustees determined that closing and liquidating each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Notes to Quarterly Report — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.   Organization

Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Investment Company” or “RET”) is a series investment company comprised of 26 different investment portfolios that were in operation as of June 30, 2012. This Quarterly Report reports on 13 of these Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Delaware statutory trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 31, 2011 (“Master Trust Agreement”). The Investment Company’s Master Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest.

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities and may be designed to track an index or to be actively managed. The investment objective of the Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of a Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by a Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors. Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. The date the shares began trading on the secondary market is the “commencement of operations” date.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only certain large institutional investors may purchase or redeem Creation Units directly with the Funds at NAV (“Authorized Participants”). These transactions are in exchange for certain securities similar to a Fund’s portfolio and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of a Fund are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from a Fund.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved securities valuation procedures which include market and fair value procedures. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the securities valuation procedures to Russell Fund Services Company (“RFSC”).

U.S. GAAP defines fair market value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires a separate disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, and 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market values of financial instruments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Common stocks, exchange traded funds and derivatives that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial over-the-counter derivative instruments are instruments such as foreign currency contracts, futures contracts, options contracts, or swap agreements that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates. Derivatives that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in other mutual funds (including unregistered collective vehicles) are valued at their net asset value per share, and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of NAVs for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s NAV. Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange-listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level, prices are derived from factors using proprietary models or matrix pricing. For this reason, significant events will cause movement between Levels 1 and 2. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The NAV of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares, since foreign securities can trade on non-business days.

Level 3 Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities, at Fair Value

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of financial instruments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes). When RFSC applies fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a Fund’s NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the securities valuation procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the process cannot guarantee that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in/out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund, if considered material.

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to requirements relating to fair valuation measurements which represent amendments to achieve common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Standards. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

The amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements relate to (i) measuring the fair value of the financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; (ii) application of premium and discount in a fair value measurement; and (iii) additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are reflected as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. This may cause the NAV stated in the financial statements to be different from the NAV at which shareholders may transact. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translations

In connection with investment transactions consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and strategies, certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“FX contracts”). From time to time the Funds may enter into FX contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. FX contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these FX contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their FX contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the FX contracts, if any, that are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related transactions.

For the period ended June 30, 2012, the following Funds entered into foreign currency exchange contracts primarily for the strategies listed below:

Russell Developed ex-U.S. High Momentum ETF

  

Trade Settlement

The Funds’ period end foreign currency exchange contracts, as presented in the tables following the Schedule of Investments, generally are indicative of the volume of their derivative activity during the period ended June 30, 2012.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to the credit risk, the Funds may also be exposed to counterparty risk or risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the relevant assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements (the “Assets”). The Assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

ETF Specific Risk

The Funds are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Funds may hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry, market sector, country or currency. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or

the performance of individual securities could cause the Funds’ return to be lower or higher than if the Fund employed an active strategy.

5.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. This limitation is applied at the time of purchase. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

Notes to Quarterly Report — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.   Organization

Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Investment Company” or “RET”) is a series investment company comprised of 26 different investment portfolios that were in operation as of June 30, 2012. This Quarterly Report reports on 2 of these Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Delaware statutory trust.

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities and may be designed to track an index or to be actively managed. The investment objective of the Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of a Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by a Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors. Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. The date the shares began trading on the secondary market is the “commencement of operations” date.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only certain large institutional investors may purchase or redeem Creation Units directly with the Funds at NAV (“Authorized Participants”). These transactions are in exchange for certain securities similar to a Fund’s portfolio and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Unites, shares of a Fund are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from a Fund.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved securities valuation procedures which include market and fair value procedures. The Board has delegated the administration responsibility of the securities valuation procedures to Russell Funds Services Company (“RFSC”).

U.S. GAAP defines fair market value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires a separate disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, and 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market values of financial instruments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Common stocks and exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of NAVs for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s NAV. Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange-listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will generally be readily available. Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level, prices are derived from factors using proprietary models or matrix pricing. For this reason, significant events will cause movement between Levels 1 and 2. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 Trading Assets and Liabilities, at Fair Value

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of financial instruments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes). When RFSC applies fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a Fund’s NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the securities valuation procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the process cannot guarantee that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in/out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund, if considered material.

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to requirements relating to fair valuation measurements which represent amendments to achieve common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

The amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements relate to (i) measuring the fair value of the financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; (ii) application of premium and discount in a fair value measurement; and (iii) additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are reflected as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. This may cause the NAV stated in the financial statements to be different from the NAV at which shareholders may transact. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to the credit risk, the Funds may also be exposed to counterparty risk or risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the relevant assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements (the “Assets”). The Assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

ETF Specific Risk

The Funds are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Funds may hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry, market sector, country or currency. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Funds’ return to be lower or higher than if the Fund employed an active strategy.

 

3.   Related Party Transactions

Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”) advises the Funds and RFSC is the Funds’ administrator. RFSC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIMCo. RIMCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company (a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company). Frank Russell Company provides ongoing money manager research and trade placement services to RET and RIMCo.

The Funds may also invest their cash reserves (the “Cash Balances”) in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund, an unregistered fund advised by RIMCo and administered by RFSC. As of June 30, 2012, the Funds have invested $15,146 in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund.

Concentration of Secondary Market Shareholder Interests

As of June 30, 2012, the Russell Equity I Fund, a Russell Trust Company Fund and a related party to the Funds, holds investments in the secondary market of the following fund and amount:

 

Fund    $

Notes to Quarterly Report — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.   Organization

Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Investment Company” or “RET”) is a series investment company comprised of 26 different investment portfolios that were in operation as of June 30, 2012. This Quarterly Report reports on 10 of these Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operated as a Delaware statutory trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 31, 2011 (“Master Trust Agreement”). The Investment Company’s Master Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest.

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds that trade like other publicly-traded securities and may be designed to track an index or to be actively managed. The investment objective of the Funds is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of a Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by a Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors. Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. The date the shares began trading on the secondary market is the “commencement of operations” date.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Only certain large institutional investors may purchase or redeem Creation Units directly with the Funds at NAV (“Authorized Participants”). These transactions are in exchange for certain securities similar to a Fund’s portfolio and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of a Fund are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from a Fund.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved securities valuation procedures which include market and fair value procedures. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the securities valuation procedures to Russell Funds Services Company (“RFSC”).

U.S. GAAP defines fair market value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires a separate disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, and 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are non-active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair market value of investments.

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market values of financial instruments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Common stocks and exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in other mutual funds (including unregistered collective vehicles) are valued at their net asset value per share, and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the NAV of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of NAVs for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s NAV. Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange-listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level, prices are derived from factors using proprietary models or matrix pricing. For this reason, significant events will cause movement between Levels 1 and 2. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The NAV of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares, since foreign securities can trade on non-business days.

Level 3 Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities, at Fair Value

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of financial instruments classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes). When RFSC applies fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a Fund’s NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the securities valuation procedures are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the process cannot guarantee that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in/out of the Level 3 category during the period. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy and Level 3 reconciliation, if any, have been included in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund, if considered material.

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to requirements relating to fair valuation measurements which represent amendments to achieve common fair value measurements and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.

The amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements relate to (i) measuring the fair value of the financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; (ii) application of premium and discount in a fair value measurement; and (iii) additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are reflected as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. This may cause the NAV stated in the financial statements to be different from the NAV at which shareholders may transact. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Market and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to the credit risk, the Funds may also be exposed to counterparty risk or risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the relevant assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements (the “Assets”). The Assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

ETF Specific Risk

The Funds are managed with a passive investment strategy, attempting to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Funds may hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry, market sector, country or currency. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Funds’ return to be lower or higher than if the Fund employed an active strategy.

 

3.   Related Party Transactions

Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”) advises the Funds and RFSC is the Funds’ administrator. RFSC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIMCo. RIMCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company (a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company). Frank Russell Company provides ongoing money manager research and trade placement services to RET and RIMCo.

The Funds may also invest their cash reserves (the “Cash Balances”) in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund, an unregistered fund advised by RIMCo and administered by RFSC. As of June 30, 2012, the Funds presented herein have invested $99,548 in the Russell U.S. Cash Management Fund.

Concentration of Secondary Market Shareholder Interests

As of June 30, 2012, the Russell Equity I Fund, a Russell Trust Company Fund and a related party to the Funds, holds investments in the secondary market of the following fund and amounts:

 

Fund    $  
  

Russell Growth at a Reasonable Price ETF

     10,039,737   

Russell Consistent Growth ETF

     25,374,654   

Russell Equity Income ETF

     44,814,461   

Such concentration of shareholder interests could have a material impact on the Funds.

5.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. This limitation is applied at the time of purchase. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

As of June 30, 2012, there were no restricted securities held by a fund that were illiquid.

Illiquid securities and restricted securities may be priced by the Funds using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Board.

 

6.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since June 30, 2012, through the date the Quarterly Report was issued, that would merit recognition or additional disclosure in the Quarterly Report. During this review, nothing was discovered, except for the following, which would require disclosure within the Quarterly Report.

On August 16, 2012, the Board of Trustees of Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust (the “Trust”), has approved an orderly liquidation of 25 of the 26 different investment portfolios referred to as the Funds. They are; of Russell 1000 Low Beta ETF, Russell 1000 High Beta ETF, Russell 1000 Low Volatility ETF, Russell 1000 High Volatility ETF, Russell 1000 High Momentum ETF, Russell 2000 Low Beta ETF, Russell 2000 High Beta ETF, Russell 2000 Low Volatility ETF, Russell 2000 High Volatility ETF, Russell 2000 High Momentum ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. Low Beta ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. Low Volatility ETF, Russell Developed ex-U.S. High Momentum ETF, Russell Aggressive Growth ETF, Russell Consistent Growth ETF, Russell Growth at a Reasonable Price ETF, Russell Contrarian ETF, Russell Equity Income ETF, Russell Low P/E ETF, Russell Small Cap Aggressive Growth ETF, Russell Small Cap Consistent Growth ETF, Russell Small Cap Low P/E ETF, Russell Small Cap Contrarian ETF, Russell High Dividend Yield ETF and Russell Small Cap High Dividend Yield ETF, each series of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds’ Board of Trustees determined that closing and liquidating each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
