Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

1. Organization
Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 42 different investment
portfolios referred to as funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). These financial statements report on 28 of these
Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company
Act”), as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operated as a Massachusetts business trust under a
Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement dated October 1, 2008, as amended (“Master Trust Agreement”), and the
provisions of Massachusetts law governing the operation of a Massachusetts business trust. 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 of the
Funds, except the Unconstrained Total Return Fund, is diversified. Under the Investment Company Act, a diversified company
is defined as a management company which meets the following requirements: at least 75% of the value of its total assets is
represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), government securities, securities of other investment companies, and
other securities for the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than five
percent of the value of the total assets of such management company and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of such issuer.
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”) which require
the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance
applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each
Fund in the preparation of its quarterly report.

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
Investments Fund Services, LLC ("RIFUS").

U.S. GAAP defines fair 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 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, 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 not active, and inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities, credit spreads
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 RIFUS, acting at the discretion of the Board,
that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and
other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or
unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

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

Equity securities, including common and preferred stock, short securities and restricted securities that are traded on a national
securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market), are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation
or official closing price, as applicable. 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. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued
by reference to similar instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign equity securities may
be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday
trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange-traded funds, and
the movement of certain indexes of securities, based on the statistical analysis of historical relationships. Foreign equity securities
prices as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible, U.S. government agency, municipal bonds and notes, U.S. treasury
obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, bank notes and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued by pricing service providers that use
broker dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing service providers’ internal models
use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads and
default rates. Such fixed income securities that use pricing service internal models as described above are categorized as Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities that use broker dealer quotations are categorized as Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis and marked-to-market daily until settlement at the forward settlement
date are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These
securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their
internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, including estimated cash
flows of each tranche, market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and current market data, as well as incorporate deal collateral
performance, as available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use these and similar valuation techniques and inputs as
described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in privately held investment funds will be valued based upon the net asset value (“NAV”) of such investments.
The Funds have adopted the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for estimating the fair value of investments in funds that
have calculated NAV per share in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies. Accordingly,
the Funds estimate the fair value of an investment in a fund using the NAV per share without further adjustment as a practical
expedient, if the NAV per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for
investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date.

Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market
value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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.
Derivatives may be classified into two groups depending upon the way that they are traded: privately traded over-the-counter
(“OTC”) derivatives that do not go through an exchange or intermediary and exchange-traded derivatives that are traded through
specialized derivatives exchanges or other regulated exchanges. OTC derivatives 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
instrument 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, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. OTC derivatives that use these and similar valuation techniques and inputs as
described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of foreign currency spot contracts which
are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivatives that use broker dealer quotations are categorized as level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded derivatives are valued based on the last reported sales price on the day of valuation and
are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at
the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility

Notes to Quarterly Report 397


 

Russell Investment Company

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third party
prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Centrally
cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including the overnight index
swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities 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 NAV for each applicable
Fund when the Fund deems 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 use fair value pricing daily as events may occur
between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing. Although there are observable inputs assigned on a security level,
prices are derived from factors using proprietary models or matrix pricing. For this reason, fair value factors will cause movement
between Levels 1 and 2. Significant events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities include: a company
development such as a material business development; a natural disaster or emergency situation; or an armed conflict.

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.

instruments for which third party pricing was unavailable due to inputs becoming unobservable. The amounts transferred were as
follows:

Emerging Markets Fund $ 1,320,606
Strategic Bond Fund   5,814,459

 

Level 3 Fair Value Investments
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, or are not reliable, are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by RIFUS 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

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

broker quotes). When RIFUS 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 instead may be priced by
another method that RIFUS believes accurately reflects fair value and will be 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 RIFUS 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 security was sold.

RIFUS employs third party pricing vendors to provide fair value measurements. RIFUS oversees third-party pricing service
providers in order to support the valuation process throughout the year.

The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurement of certain of the Funds’ preferred equity securities is the
redemption value calculated on a fully-diluted basis if converted to common stock. Significant increases or decreases in the
redemption value would have a direct and proportional impact to fair value.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of certain Funds’ debt securities is the yield to worst ratio.
Significant increases (decreases) in the yield to worst ratio would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

These significant unobservable inputs are further disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings for each respective Fund as
applicable.

If third party evaluated vendor pricing is neither available nor deemed to be indicative of fair value, RIFUS may elect to obtain
indicative market quotations (“broker quotes”) directly from the broker or passed through from a third party vendor. In the event
that the source of fair value is from a single source broker quote, these securities are classified as Level 3 per the fair value
hierarchy. Broker quotes are typically received from established market participants. Although independently received on a daily
basis, RIFUS does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the broker quotes. Significant changes
in the broker quote would have direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. There is a third-party pricing
exception to the quantitative disclosure requirement when prices are not determined by the reporting entity. RIFUS is exercising
this exception and has made a reasonable attempt to obtain quantitative information from the third party pricing vendors regarding
the unobservable inputs used.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances
for reported fair values that present 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. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the
significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In
accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, a Level 3 reconciliation and an additional disclosure about
fair value measurements, if any, has been included in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings for each respective Fund.

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 applicable, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred within a particular Fund.

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 as the Funds are informed of the dividend, subsequent to the ex-dividend date. To the
extent the dividend represents a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, reclassifications are made which may be based on
management's estimates. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. The Funds classify gains and losses realized on
prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as an adjustment to interest income. All premiums and discounts, including
original issue discounts, are amortized/ accreted using the effective interest method. Debt obligation securities may be placed in
a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable
when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful.

Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are
translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(a) Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

(b) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade
dates of such transactions.

Net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities;
sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S.
dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions
arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in the exchange
rates.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates
from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Funds do isolate the effects
of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt
obligations.

Derivatives
Certain Funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying
security or index. They include options, futures, swaps and forwards. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that
facilitate the Funds’ investment strategies.

The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash to markets, hedging and return enhancement. In addition, certain
Funds may enter into foreign exchange contracts for trade settlement purposes. Certain Funds may pursue their strategy of being
fully invested by exposing cash to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is
intended to cause the Funds to perform as though cash were actually invested in those markets.

Hedging may be used by certain Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates.
Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund, including using derivatives as a substitute for
holding physical securities, and using them to express various macro views (e.g., interest rate movements, currency movements,
and macro credit strategies). By purchasing certain instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio
characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and
utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks include, but are not limited to, market risk, liquidity risk,
leveraging risk, counterparty risk, basis risk, reinvestment risk, political risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk and
credit risk.

Futures, certain options and cleared swaps are traded or cleared on an exchange or central exchange clearing house. Exchange-
traded or exchange-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a Fund. The exchange’s clearing house stands
between the Fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the clearing
house and the clearing member. Cleared swap contracts are subject to clearing house rules, including initial and variation margin
requirement, daily settlement of obligations and the clearing house guarantee of payments to the broker. There is, however, still
counterparty risk due to the insolvency of the broker with respect to any margin held in the brokers’ customer accounts. While
clearing members are required to segregate customer assets from their own assets, in the event of insolvency, there may be a
shortfall in the amount of margin held by the broker for its clients. Collateral and margin requirements for exchange-traded or
exchange-cleared derivatives are established through regulation, as well as set by the broker or applicable clearing house. Margin
for exchange-traded and exchange-cleared transactions are detailed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash held at the
broker for futures contracts and cash held at the broker for swap contracts, respectively. Securities pledged by a Fund for exchange-
traded and exchange-cleared transactions are noted as collateral or margin requirements in the Schedule of Investments. Typically,
the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge, rehypothecate or otherwise use collateral pledged by the other
party unless explicitly permitted by each respective governing agreement.

In December 2015, the SEC proposed new regulations applicable to a mutual fund's use of derivatives. If adopted as proposed, these
regulations could potentially limit or impact a Fund's ability to invest in derivatives and negatively affect the Fund's performance
and ability to pursue its stated investment objectives.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“FX
contracts”). From time to time, certain Funds may enter into FX contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets.
FX contracts are recorded at fair 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.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the following Funds entered into foreign currency exchange contracts primarily for the strategies
listed below:

As of July 31, 2017, the Funds had cash collateral balances in connection with foreign currency contracts purchased/sold as follows:

Multi-Strategy Income Fund $ 500,000 $  
Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund $   $ 100,000

 

Options
Certain Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices. Such options are traded on
a national securities exchange or in an OTC market. The Funds may also purchase and sell (write) call and put options on foreign
currencies.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-
to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives
up the opportunity to profit from any increase in the value of the underlying instrument above the exercise price of the option, and
when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying instrument.

When a Fund sells an uncovered call option, it does not simultaneously have a long position in the underlying security. When a
Fund sells an uncovered put option, it does not simultaneously have a short position in the underlying security. Uncovered options
are riskier than covered options because there is no underlying security held by the Fund that can act as a partial hedge.

Whether an option which the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the
option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is
extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which
a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund
purchases upon exercise of the option.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to
market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price
of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Certain Funds may enter into a swaption (an option on a swap). In a swaption, in exchange for an option, the buyer gains the right
but not the obligation to enter into a specified swap agreement with the issuer on a specified future date. The writer of the contract
receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying swap.

Futures Contracts
Certain Funds may invest in futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency, index futures contracts) and commodity futures
contracts (Commodity Strategies Fund only). The face or contract value of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’
exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation
between the change in fair value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an
illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial
margin, which typically represents 5% to 10% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the
broker, known as variation margin, are typically required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates.
Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated,
at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the following Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategies listed below:

Swap Agreements
Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether they are
hedging their assets or their liabilities, and will usually enter into swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted
out, with the Funds receiving or paying only the net amount of the two payments). When a Fund engages in a swap, it exchanges
its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations to pay or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an
exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

Certain Funds may enter into several different types of swap agreements including credit default, interest rate, commodity-linked
(Commodity Strategies Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund only), total return (equity and/or index) and currency swaps.
Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk (the possibility that an issuer
will default on its obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party to another. The lender faces the
credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments.
Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement, can be customized to meet each party’s needs, and involve the exchange of a
fixed or variable payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Equity swaps are a counterparty agreement where two parties
exchange two sets of cash flows on predetermined dates for an agreed upon amount of time. The cash flows will typically be an
equity index value swapped with a floating rate such as LIBOR plus or minus a pre-defined spread. Index swap agreements are
a counterparty agreement intended to expose cash to markets or to effect investment transactions consistent with those Funds’
investment objectives and strategies. Currency swaps are a counterparty agreement where two parties exchange specified amounts
of different currencies which are followed by each paying the other a series of interest payments that are based on the principal cash
flow. At maturity the principal amounts are returned.

The Funds generally expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
portion of their portfolios or to protect against any increase in the price of securities they anticipate purchasing at a later date, or for
return enhancement. Under most swap agreements entered into by a Fund, the parties' obligations are determined on a "net basis".
The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Funds’ obligations over their entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a
daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate NAV at least equal to the accrued excess will be segregated.
To the extent that the Funds enter into swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the

full amount of the Funds’ obligations, if any, with respect to such swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other
party to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction.

A Fund may not receive the expected amount under a swap agreement if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
bankrupt.

As of July 31, 2017, the Funds has cash collateral balances in connection with swap contracts purchased/sold as follow:

  Cash Collateral for Swaps     Due to Broker  
Emerging Markets Fund $ 10 $  
Global Opportunistic Credit Fund $ 16,130,000 $

Credit Default Swaps
Certain Funds may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap can refer to corporate issues, government issues, asset-
backed securities or an index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. Funds may act as either the buyer
or the seller of a credit default swap involving one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to
receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. Depending upon the terms of the contract, the credit default
swap may be closed via physical settlement. However, due to the possible or potential instability in the market, there is a risk that
the Funds may be unable to deliver the underlying debt security to the other party to the agreement. Additionally, the Funds may
not receive the expected amount under the swap agreement if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes bankrupt. In
an unhedged credit default swap, Funds enter into a credit default swap without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the
reference entity. Credit default swaps allow Funds to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset or basket of
instruments.

As the seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Fund would be required to pay the par or other agreed-upon value (or otherwise
perform according to the swap contract) of a reference debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default (or other specified
credit event) and the counterparty would be required to surrender the reference debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive
from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no
credit event occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. As a seller of protection,
the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, that Fund would be subject to
investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

Certain Funds may also purchase protection via credit default swap contracts in order to offset the risk of default of debt securities
held in their portfolios or to take a short position in a debt security, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty
referenced in the preceding paragraph.

If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of
the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of
protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Funds may use credit
default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where Funds own or have
exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood (as measured by the
credit default swap’s spread) of a particular issuer’s default.

Deliverable obligations for credit default swaps on asset-backed securities in most instances are limited to the specific referenced
obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown
or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These
reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap
agreement generally will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. Certain Funds may use credit default swaps on asset-backed
securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults (or other defined credit events) of the referenced obligation or to take
an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default (or another defined credit
event).

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for
the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of
406 Notes to Quarterly Report

the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be
representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a
poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the
indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging
markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized
terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and
if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes
periodically, usually every six months, and, for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. Traders may use credit
default swaps on indices to speculate on changes in credit quality.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on
corporate issues as of period-end are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments and generally serve as an indicator of the current
status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default (or other defined credit event) for the credit
derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of entering into a credit default swap and
may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-
backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of
the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional
amount of the swap, generally represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk
of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future
payments (undiscounted) that Funds as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement
equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of July 31,
2017, for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. These potential amounts would be
partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the
agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for
the same referenced entity or entities.

Credit default swaps could result in losses if the Funds do not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company or companies
on which the credit default swap is based. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested
in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to risks relating to the reference obligation, credit default swaps are subject
to illiquidity and counterparty risk. A Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it sells a credit default swap than
when it purchases a credit default swap. As a buyer of a credit default swap, a Fund may lose its investment and recover nothing
should a credit event fail to occur and the swap is held to its termination date. As seller of a credit default swap, if a credit event
were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by a Fund, coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously
received, may be less than what it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund.

If the creditworthiness of a Fund’s swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase,
potentially resulting in a loss to the Fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the Funds will only enter
into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that
the Funds will be able to do so, the Funds may be able to reduce or eliminate their exposure under a swap agreement either by
assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party.
The Funds may have limited ability to eliminate their exposure under a credit default swap if the credit quality of the reference
entity or underlying asset has declined.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds entered into credit default swaps primarily for the strategies listed below:

Interest Rate Swaps
The use of interest rate swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those
associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If RIM or a money manager using this technique is incorrect in its forecast
of fair values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of a Fund might diminish compared to what
it would have been if this investment technique were not used.

Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss
with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that a Fund is contractually obligated to make.
Interest rate swaps are traded on exchanges and are subject to central clearing. If the clearing house or futures commission merchant
defaults, a Funds' risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that a Fund is contractually entitled to receive. The
counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally lower than for uncleared derivatives. However, clearing may subject a Fund to
increased costs or margin requirements.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds entered into interest rate swaps primarily for the strategies listed below:

Total Return Swaps
Certain Funds may enter into index swap agreements to expose cash to markets or to effect investment transactions. Index swap
agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more
than one year. In a standard index swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return)
earned or realized on particular investments or instruments.

The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., a specified dollar amount
that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds entered into total return swaps primarily for the strategies listed below:

Currency Swaps
Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements to enhance returns or for hedging purposes. Currency swap agreements are
agreements where two parties exchange specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by paying the other a series of
interest payments that are based on the principal cash flow. At maturity, the principal amounts are exchanged.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds did not enter into any currency swaps.

Commodity-Linked Instruments
The Commodity Strategies and Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Funds may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as
swap agreements and futures. At least part of their value is derived from the value of an underlying commodity index, commodity
futures or options contracts index, or other readily measurable economic variable. The prices of commodity-linked derivative
instruments may move in different directions than investments in traditional equity and debt securities. As an example, during
periods of rising inflation, debt securities have historically tended to decline in value due to the general increase in prevailing
interest rates. Conversely, during those same periods of rising inflation, historically the prices of certain commodities, such as oil
and metals, have tended to increase. Of course, there cannot be any guarantee that such commodity-linked derivative instruments
will perform in that manner in the future, and at certain times the price movements of commodity-linked derivative investments
have been parallel to those of debt and equity securities.

The Commodity Strategies and Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Funds may invest in commodity-linked notes. Commodity linked notes
pay a return linked to the performance of a commodity over a defined period. On the maturity date, the note pays the initial principal
amount plus return, if any, based on the percentage change in the underlying commodity.

Master Agreements
Certain Funds are parties to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”)
with counterparties that govern transactions in OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Funds and
those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements,
collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination and default include conditions that may entitle either party
to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.
Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. Since different types of forward and OTC financial
derivative transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty
organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different ISDA Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple
agreements with a single counterparty. As the ISDA Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types,
they allow a Fund to net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed
under a single agreement with a counterparty.

Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) govern transactions between a Fund and select counterparties.
The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and
maintenance of collateral for repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.

Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern the considerations and factors
surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as delayed delivery by and between a Fund and select
counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment
and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

Loan Agreements
Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other
borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. The Funds' investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or
assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the
“agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When
investing in a loan participation, the Funds have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which they
are entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the agent of payments from the borrower. The
Funds generally have no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Funds
may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement. When the Funds purchase
assignments from agents they acquire direct rights against the borrower on the loan. As of July 31, 2017, there were no unfunded
loan commitments held by the Funds.

Local Access Products
Certain Funds may invest in local access products, also known as certificates of participation, participation notes or participation
interest notes. Local access products are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to replicate the performance of foreign
companies or foreign securities markets and can be used by the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a
frontier emerging market country. The performance results of local access products will not replicate exactly the performance of
the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments
in local access products involve certain risks in addition to those associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign
companies or foreign securities markets whose return they seek to replicate. There can be no assurance that there will be a trading
market or that the trading price of local access products will equal the underlying value of the foreign company or foreign securities
market that it seeks to replicate. The Funds rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty issuing the local access products and
have no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. The Funds minimize this risk by entering into agreements only with
counterparties that RIM deems creditworthy. Due to liquidity and transfer restrictions, the secondary markets on which the local
access products are traded may be less liquid than the markets for other securities, or may be completely illiquid.

Credit Linked Notes
Certain Funds may invest in credit linked notes. Credit linked notes are obligations between two or more parties where the payment
of principal and/or interest is based on the performance of some obligation, basket of obligations, index or economic indicator (a
“reference instrument”). In addition to the credit risk associated with the reference instrument and interest rate risk, the buyer and
seller of a credit linked note or similar structured investment are subject to counterparty risk.

Short Sales
The U.S. Defensive Equity, U.S. Dynamic Equity, U.S. Strategic Equity and Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Funds may enter into
short sale transactions. In a short sale, the seller sells a security that it does not own, typically a security borrowed from a broker
or dealer. Because the seller remains liable to return the underlying security that it borrowed from the broker or dealer, the seller
must purchase the security prior to the date on which delivery to the broker or dealer is required. The Funds will incur a loss as a
result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds must
return the borrowed security. The Funds will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. Short sales expose
the Funds to the risk of liability for the fair value of the security that is sold (the amount of which increases as the fair value of the
underlying security increases), in addition to the costs associated with establishing, maintaining and closing out the short position.

Although the Funds’ potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the
cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the

borrowed security. When the Funds make a short sale, the Funds may use all or a portion of the cash proceeds of short sales to
purchase other securities or for any other permissible Fund purpose. To the extent necessary to meet collateral requirements, the
Funds are required to pledge assets in a segregated account maintained by the Funds’ custodian for the benefit of the broker. The
Funds also may use securities they own to meet any such collateral obligations. Until the Funds replace a borrowed security in
connection with a short sale, the Funds will: (a) maintain daily a segregated account, containing liquid assets at such a level that
the amount deposited in the segregated account will equal the current requirement under Regulation T promulgated by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the authority of Sections 7 and 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended; or (b) otherwise cover its short position in accordance with positions taken by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (e.g., taking an offsetting long position in the security sold short). As of July 31, 2017, the U.S. Defensive Equity Fund
held $60,838,543, the U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund held $13,053,524, and the U.S. Strategic Equity Fund held $50,269,244 as
collateral for short sales.

Emerging Markets Securities
Certain Funds may invest in emerging markets securities. Investing in emerging markets securities can pose some risks different
from, and greater than, risks of investing in U.S. or developed markets securities. These risks include: a risk of loss due to
exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems which may have less stability,
than those of more developed countries; smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative
illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible difficulties in the repatriation of investment
income and capital. In addition, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales and future economic or political
crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of
government monopolies. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar,
and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Funds. Emerging market securities may be
subject to currency transfer restrictions and may experience delays and disruptions in settlement procedures. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of
certain emerging market countries.

Emerging Markets Debt
Certain Funds may invest in emerging markets debt. A Fund's emerging markets debt securities may include obligations of
governments and corporations. As with any fixed income securities, emerging markets debt securities are subject to the risk of
being downgraded in credit rating due to the risk of default. In the event of a default on any investments in foreign debt obligations,
it may be more difficult for a Fund to obtain or to enforce a judgment against the issuers of such securities. With respect to debt
issued by emerging market governments, such issuers may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due, either due
to an inability to pay or submission to political pressure not to pay, and as a result may default, declare temporary suspensions of
interest payments or require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated.

Repurchase Agreements
Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which a Fund acquires a
fixed income security from a commercial bank, broker or dealer and simultaneously agrees to resell such security to the seller
at an agreed upon price and date (normally within a few days or weeks). The resale price reflects an agreed upon interest rate
effective for the period the security is held by a Fund and is unrelated to the interest rate on the security. The securities acquired
by a Fund constitute collateral for the repurchase obligation. In these transactions, the securities acquired by a Fund (including
accrued interest earned thereon) must have a total value in excess of the value of the repurchase agreement and must be held by the
custodian bank until repurchased. A Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (taken at current fair value) in repurchase
agreements maturing in more than seven days.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities
Certain Funds may invest in mortgage or other asset-backed securities (“ABS”). These securities may include mortgage instruments
issued by U.S. government agencies (“agency mortgages”) or those issued by private entities (“non-agency mortgages”). Specific
types of instruments may include reverse mortgages, mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations
(“CMO”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities and
other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by a payable from, mortgage loans on real
property. The value of a Fund’s mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) may be affected by, among other things, changes or perceived

Notes to Quarterly Report 411

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgage, or the
quality of the underlying assets. The mortgages underlying the securities may default or decline in quality or value. Through its
investments in MBS, a Fund has exposure to subprime loans, Alt-A loans and non-conforming loans as well as to the mortgage
and credit markets generally. Underlying collateral related to subprime, Alt-A and non-conforming mortgage loans has become
increasingly susceptible to defaults and declines in quality or value, especially in a declining residential real estate market. In
addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities markets as a whole.

Mortgage-Backed Securities
MBS often have stated maturities of up to thirty years when they are issued, depending upon the length of the mortgages underlying
the securities. In practice, however, unscheduled or early payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages may make
the securities’ effective maturity shorter than this, and the prevailing interest rates may be higher or lower than the current yield of
a Fund’s portfolio at the time resulting in reinvestment risk.

Rising or high interest rates may result in slower than expected principal payments which may tend to extend the duration of MBS,
making them more volatile and more sensitive to changes in interest rates. This is known as extension risk.

MBS may have less potential for capital appreciation than comparable fixed income securities due to the likelihood of increased
prepayments of mortgages resulting from foreclosures or declining interest rates. These foreclosed or refinanced mortgages are paid
off at face value (par) or less, causing a loss, particularly for any investor who may have purchased the security at a premium or a
price above par. In such an environment, this risk limits the potential price appreciation of these securities.

Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities
Certain MBS may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a government sponsored entity, such as Fannie Mae (the Federal
National Mortgage Association) or Freddie Mac (the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Although these instruments may
be guaranteed by the U.S. government or a government sponsored entity, many such MBS are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States and are still exposed to the risk of non-payment.

Privately Issued Mortgage-Backed Securities
MBS held by a Fund may be issued by private issuers including commercial banks, savings associations, mortgage companies,
investment banking firms, finance companies and special purpose finance entities (called special purpose vehicles or SPVs) and
other entities that acquire and package mortgage loans for resale as MBS. These privately issued non-agency MBS may offer higher
yields than those issued by government agencies, but also may be subject to greater price changes than governmental issues.
Subprime loans refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments
on their loans. Alt-A loans refer to loans extended to borrowers who have incomplete documentation of income, assets, or other
variables that are important to the credit underwriting processes. Non-conforming mortgages are loans that do not meet the standards
that allow purchase by government-sponsored enterprises. MBS with exposure to subprime loans, Alt-A loans or nonconforming
loans have had in many cases higher default rates than those loans that meet government underwriting requirements. The risk of
non-payment is greater for MBS that are backed by mortgage pools that contain subprime, Alt-A and non-conforming loans, but a
level of risk exists for all loans.

Unlike agency MBS issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a government-sponsored entity (e.g., Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac), MBS issued by private issuers do not have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee, but may have credit
enhancements provided by external entities such as banks or financial institutions or achieved through the structuring of the
transaction itself. Examples of such credit support arising out of the structure of the transaction include the issue of senior and
subordinated securities (e.g., the issuance of securities by an SPV in multiple classes or tranches, with one or more classes being
senior to other subordinated classes as to the payment of principal and interest, with the result that defaults on the underlying
mortgage loans are borne first by the holders of the subordinated class); creation of reserve funds (in which case cash or investments,
sometimes funded from a portion of the payments on the underlying mortgage loans, are held in reserve against future losses); and
overcollateralization (in which case the scheduled payments on, or the principal amount of, the underlying mortgage loans exceeds
that required to make payment on the securities and pay any servicing or other fees). However, there can be no guarantee that credit
enhancements, if any, will be sufficient to prevent losses in the event of defaults on the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, MBS
that are issued by private issuers are not subject to the underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable
to those MBS that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying private
MBS may, and frequently do, have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or

412 Notes to Quarterly Report


 

Russell Investment Company
Russell Funds

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

government-sponsored MBS and have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower
characteristics. Privately issued pools more frequently include second mortgages, high loan-to-value mortgages and manufactured
housing loans. The coupon rates and maturities of the underlying mortgage loans in a private-label MBS pool may vary to a greater
extent than those included in a government guaranteed pool, and the pool may include subprime mortgage loans.

Privately issued MBS are not traded on an exchange and there may be a limited market for the securities, especially when there is a
perceived weakness in the mortgage and real estate market sectors. Without an active trading market, MBS held in a Fund's portfolio
may be particularly difficult to value because of the complexities involved in assessing the value of the underlying mortgage loans.

Asset-Backed Securities
ABS may include MBS, loans, receivables or other assets. The value of the Funds’ ABS may be affected by, among other things,
actual or perceived changes in interest rates, factors concerning the interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the
receivables, the market’s assessment of the quality of underlying assets or actual or perceived changes in the credit worthiness of
the individual borrowers, the originator, the servicing agent or the financial institution providing the credit support.

Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities.
Rising or high interest rates tend to extend the duration of ABS, making them more volatile and more sensitive to changes in interest
rates. The underlying assets are sometimes subject to prepayments which can shorten the security’s weighted average life and may
lower its return. Defaults on loans underlying ABS have become an increasing risk for ABS that are secured by home equity loans
related to sub-prime, Alt-A or non-conforming mortgage loans, especially in a declining residential real estate market.

ABS (other than MBS) present certain risks that are not presented by MBS. Primarily, these securities may not have the benefit
of any security interest in the related assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the
protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such debtors the right to set off certain amounts
owed on the credit cards, thereby reducing the balance due. There is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed collateral may
not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these securities. ABS are often backed by a pool of assets representing the
obligations of a number of different parties. To lessen the effect of failures by obligors on underlying assets to make payments, the
securities may contain elements of credit support which fall into two categories: (i) liquidity protection, and (ii) protection against
losses resulting from ultimate default by an obligor on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of advances,
generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure that the receipt of payments on the underlying pool occurs in a
timely fashion. Protection against losses results from payment of the insurance obligations on at least a portion of the assets in the
pool. This protection may be provided through guarantees, policies or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor from third
parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. The Funds will not
pay any additional or separate fees for credit support. The degree of credit support provided for each issue is generally based on
historical information respecting the level of credit risk associated with the underlying assets.

Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated or failure of the credit support could adversely affect the return on an investment
in such a security. The availability of ABS may be affected by legislative or regulatory developments. It is possible that such
developments may require the Funds to dispose of any then-existing holdings of such securities.

Forward Commitments
Certain Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. The price
of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is
negotiated The Funds may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it is appropriate to do so and may
realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt obligations
of the Funds in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio securities to be purchased will be earmarked on the
Fund's records at the trade date and until the transaction is settled. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the
value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the
transaction.

Certain Funds may invest in to-be-announced ("TBA") mortgage-backed securities. A TBA security is a forward mortgage-backed
securities trade in which a seller agrees to issue a TBA mortgage-backed security at a future date. The securities are purchased
and sold on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and maturity date. The actual principal amount and
maturity date will be determined upon settlement when the specific mortgage pools are assigned. These securities are within the
parameters of industry “good delivery” standards.

As of July 31, 2017, the Funds had no cash collateral balances in connection with TBAs.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds
The fixed income funds may invest in inflation-indexed securities, which are typically bonds or notes designed to provide a return
higher than the rate of inflation (based on a designated index) if held to maturity. A common type of inflation-indexed security is a
U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Security (“TIPS”). The principal of a TIPS increases with inflation and decreases with deflation,
as measured by the Consumer Price Index. When a TIPS matures, the adjusted principal or original principal is paid, whichever is
greater. TIPS pay interest twice a year, at a fixed rate. The rate is applied to the adjusted principal; so, like the principal, interest
payments rise with inflation and fall with deflation.

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
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 financial
statements (the “Assets”). The Assets consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds'
exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the
Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected and political and economic conditions (including
recent instability and volatility) and events (including natural disasters) in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. As a result, issuers of securities held by a Fund may experience
significant declines in the value of their assets and even cease operations. Such conditions and/or events may not have the same
impact on all types of securities and may expose a Fund to greater market and liquidity risk and potential difficulty in valuing
portfolio instruments held. This could cause a Fund to underperform other types of investments.
3. Investment in Cayman Commodity Strategies Fund Ltd. And Cayman Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund Ltd.
The Cayman Commodity Strategies Fund Ltd. and the Cayman Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund Ltd. (each a "Subsidiary”)
are Cayman Island exempted companies and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Commodity Strategies Fund and the Multi-Asset
Growth Strategy Fund, respectively. Each Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for its respective Fund in order to effect certain
investments on behalf of the Fund. Each Fund is the sole shareholder of its respective Subsidiary and it is intended that each Fund
will remain the sole shareholder and, as a result, will continue to control the Subsidiary. As of July 31, 2017, net assets of the
Commodity Strategies Fund were $712,950,621 of which $144,892,543 or approximately 20.3%, represents the Fund’s ownership
of the shares its Subsidiary, and the net assets of the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund were $558,264,434 of which $16,984,840
or approximately 3%, represents the Fund’s ownership of the shares of its Subsidiary.

The Commodity Strategies Fund and the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund may invest up to 25% of their total assets in their
Subsidiary, which may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures that provide
exposure to the performance of commodities markets. Each Subsidiary may also invest in fixed income securities. The financial
statements for the Commodity Strategies Fund and the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund have been consolidated and include the
accounts of both the Fund and its respective Subsidiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
4. Investment Transactions

Securities Lending
The Investment Company has a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of
each Fund’s total assets. The maturity associated with these securities is considered continuous. The Fund receives cash (U.S.
currency), U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. The cash collateral
cannot be resold, repledged or rehypothecated. As of July 31, 2017, to the extent that a loan was collateralized by cash, such

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

collateral was invested by the securities lending agent, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), in the U.S. Cash Collateral Fund,
an unregistered fund advised by RIM. The collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities
along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

Affiliated income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers, is
divided between the Fund and BBH and is reported as securities lending income on the Fund's Statement of Operations. To the
extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the
Fund and BBH and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least
equal to 102% (for loans of U.S. securities) or 105% (for loans of non-U.S. securities) of the fair value of the loaned securities at the
inception of each loan. The fair value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional
required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay
in recovery of the securities or loss of rights in the collateral.
5. Related Party Transactions, Fees and Expenses

Adviser, Administrator, Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent
RIM provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds, including
developing the investment program for each Fund and managing each Fund's overall exposures. From its advisory fees received
from the Funds, RIM, as agent for RIC, pays all fees to the money managers for their investment advisory services. Each money
manager has agreed that it will look only to RIM for the payment of the money manager’s fee, after RIC has paid RIM. Fees paid to
the money managers are not affected by any voluntary or statutory expense limitations.

RIFUS is the Funds' administrator and transfer agent. RIFUS, in its capacity as the Funds' administrator, provides or oversees the
provision of all administrative services for the Funds. RIFUS, in its capacity as the Funds' transfer agent and dividend disbursing
agent, is responsible for providing transfer agency and dividend disbursing services to the Funds. RIFUS is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of RIM. RIM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Russell Investments Group, Ltd., a Cayman company.

The Funds are permitted to invest their cash (i.e., cash awaiting investment or cash held to meet redemption requests or to pay
expenses) in the U.S. Cash Management Fund, an unregistered fund advised by RIM. As of July 31, 2017, the Funds had invested
$2,434,538,556 in the U.S. Cash Management Fund. In addition, all or a portion of the collateral received from the Investment
Company’s securities lending program in the amount of $346,665,496 is invested in the U.S. Cash Collateral Fund, an unregistered

Russell Funds

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

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.

See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a list of restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid.

8. Pending Legal Proceedings
The Strategic Bond Fund is one of several defendants in a bankruptcy adversary avoidance claim in a Consolidated Multidistrict
Action styled In Re: Motors Liquidation Company, et al., Debtors, Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust, etc., v.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, et al., United States District Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The claim relates to
alleged improper payments to the Fund as a participating lender in a term loan provided to General Motors Company due to the
Fund’s security interests not being properly perfected. The Fund has filed answers denying liability and a crossclaim against the
administrative agent for the term loan lenders seeking damages arising from the agent’s failure to properly perfect the security
interests of the lenders.

9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and/or transactions that have occurred through the date this Quarterly Report was issued and
noted no items requiring adjustments of the Quarterly Report or additional disclosures except the following:

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final
rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final
rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial
statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017.
Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds’
financial statements and related disclosures.

Effective September 15, 2017, certain Funds will change their names as follows:
Current Name New Name
Select U. S. Equity Fund Multifactor U. S. Equity Fund
Select International Equity Fund Multifactor International Equity Fund

 

Effective September 15, 2017, Class T Shares of all Funds listed on the cover of this quarterly report were redesignated as Class
M Shares.

Effective September 22, 2017, Class A1 Shares of all Funds listed on the cover of this quarterly report were redesignated as Class
T Shares.

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

1. Organization
Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 42 different investment
portfolios referred to as funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). These financial statements report on 14 of these
Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company
Act”), as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operated as a Massachusetts business trust under
a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement dated October 1, 2008, as amended (“Master Trust Agreement”), and
the provisions of Massachusetts law governing the operation of a Massachusetts business trust. 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
of the Funds is diversified. Under the Investment Company Act a diversified company is defined as a management company
which meets the following requirements: at least 75% of the value of their total assets is represented by cash and cash items
(including receivables), government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for the purposes of
this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than five percent of the value of the total assets
of such management company and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer.

Target Portfolio Funds
Each of the Target Portfolio Funds listed in the table below is a “fund of funds” and diversifies its assets by investing principally,
at present, in shares of several other RIC Funds (the “Underlying Funds”). Each Fund seeks to achieve its specific investment
objective by investing in different combinations of Underlying Funds. In addition to investing in the Underlying Funds, Russell
Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”), the Funds’ investment adviser, may seek to actively manage the Funds' overall exposure
by investing in derivatives, including futures, options, forwards and swaps, that RIM believes will achieve the desired risk/return
profile for the Funds. The Funds may hold cash in connection with these investments. The Funds usually, but not always, pursue
a strategy of being fully invested by exposing their cash to the performance of segments of the global equity market by purchasing
index futures contracts (also known as "equitization").

The following table shows each Fund's target strategic asset allocation to equity, fixed/other income and alternative asset classes
effective March 1, 2017. As of July 31, 2017, the equity Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest include the U.S.
Defensive Equity, U.S. Dynamic Equity, Select U.S. Equity, U.S. Small Cap Equity, Global Equity, Emerging Markets and Select
International Equity Funds. The fixed income Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest include the Global Opportunistic
Credit, Unconstrained Total Return, Strategic Bond, Investment Grade Bond and Short Duration Bond Funds. The multi-asset
Underlying Funds in which the Funds may invest include the Multi-Strategy Income Fund. The alternative Underlying Funds in
which the Funds may invest include the Commodity Strategies, Global Infrastructure and Global Real Estate Securities Funds.
Each Fund intends its strategy of investing in combinations of equity, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative Underlying Funds
to result in investment diversification that an investor could otherwise achieve only by holding numerous individual investments.
A Fund’s actual allocation may vary from the target strategic asset allocation at any point in time (1) due to market movements, (2)
by up to +/- 5% at the equity, fixed income, multi-asset or alternative category level based on RIM’s capital markets research, and/
or (3) due to the implementation over a period of time of a change to the target strategic asset allocation including the addition of a
new Underlying Fund. There may be no changes in the asset allocation or to the Underlying Funds in a given year or such changes
may be made one or more times in a year

The following table shows the Target Portfolio Funds’ approximate expected target strategic asset allocations to equity, fixed income,
multi-asset and alternative asset classes effective March 1, 2017.

    Conservative   Moderate   Balanced   Growth   Equity Growth  
  Asset Allocation* Strategy Fund   Strategy Fund   Strategy Fund   Strategy Fund   Strategy Fund  
Equity 8 % 29.5 % 51 % 70 % 85 %
Fixed Income 63 % 53 % 38 % 22 % 7 %
Multi-Asset 23 % 10 % 4 % 0 % 0 %
Alternative# 6 % 7.5 % 7 % 8 % 8 %
 
* As described above, actual asset allocation may vary.                  
# Alternative Underlying Funds pursue investment strategies that differ from those of traditional broad market equity or fixed income funds.

Funds. The 2020 Strategy, 2025 Strategy, 2030 Strategy, 2035 Strategy, 2040 Strategy, 2045 Strategy, 2050 Strategy and 2055
Strategy Funds are referred to herein as the “Strategy Funds.” The allocation of each Strategy Fund’s assets to the Underlying
Funds in which it invests will become more conservative over time until approximately the year indicated in the Fund name, the
“target year,” at which time the allocation will remain fixed. The Strategy Funds are designed for investors who plan to retire close
to the target year indicated in the Fund name. The allocation of the In Retirement Fund’s assets to the Underlying Funds in which
it invests does not shift over time. The In Retirement Fund is intended for investors who have reached retirement age and are no
longer contributing to their retirement savings. A Fund’s actual allocation may vary from the target strategic asset allocation at any
point in time (1) due to market movements, (2) by up to +/- 5% at the equity, fixed income or alternative category level based on
RIM’s capital markets research, and/or (3) due to the implementation over a period of time of a change to the target strategic asset
allocation including the addition of a new Underlying Fund. There may be no changes in the asset allocation or to the Underlying
Funds in a given year or such changes may be made one or more times in a year.

The following table shows the Target Date Funds’ approximate expected allocations to equity Underlying Funds, fixed income
Underlying Funds and alternative Underlying Funds effective on or about March 1, 2017.

    2020   2025   2030   2035

At a meeting held on May 23, 2017, the Board approved the liquidation of the Target Date Funds pursuant to a plan of Liquidation
and Dissolution of the Sub-Trusts (the “Plan”). Shareholders of the Funds may redeem their shares prior to the liquidation date.
The Plan provides for the liquidation of each Fund’s assets on or before October 6, 2017, and a liquidating distribution to be paid
to each Fund’s shareholders of all of the proceeds of the liquidation as promptly as possible after the liquidation date.

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") which
require the use of management estimates and assumptions at the date of the quarterly report. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance
applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by each
Fund in the preparation of its quarterly reports.

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
Investments Fund Services, LLC (“RIFUS”). The Funds value the shares of the Underlying Funds at the current net asset value
("NAV") per share of each Underlying Fund. The Funds have adopted the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for estimating
the fair value of investments in funds that have calculated NAV per share in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance
for investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds estimate the fair value of an investment in a fund using the NAV per share
without further adjustment as a practical expedient, if the NAV per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the
specialized accounting guidance for investment companies as of the reporting entity’s measurement date.

U.S. GAAP defines fair 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 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, 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 not active, and inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities, credit spreads
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 RIFUS, acting at the discretion of the Board,
that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and
other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or
unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised
in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

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

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.
Derivatives may be classified into two groups depending upon the way that they are traded: privately traded over-the-counter
(“OTC”) derivatives that do not go through an exchange or intermediary and exchange-traded derivatives that are traded through
specialized derivatives exchanges or other regulated exchanges. OTC derivatives 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
instrument 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, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. OTC derivatives that use these and similar valuation techniques and inputs as
described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of foreign currency spot contracts which
are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC derivatives that use broker dealer quotations are categorized as level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy. Exchange-traded derivatives are valued based on the last reported sales price on the day of valuation and
are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at
the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility

42 Notes to Quarterly Report

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third party
prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Centrally
cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including the overnight index
swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are
categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 Fair Value Investments
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, or are not reliable, are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by RIFUS 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 RIFUS 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 instead may be priced by
another method that RIFUS believes accurately reflects fair value and will be 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 RIFUS 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 security was sold.

RIFUS employs third party pricing vendors to provide fair value measurements. RIFUS oversees third-party pricing service
providers in order to support the valuation process throughout the year.

If third party evaluated vendor pricing is neither available nor deemed to be indicative of fair value, RIFUS may elect to obtain
indicative market quotations (“broker quotes”) directly from the broker or passed through from a third party vendor. In the event
that the source of fair value is from a single source broker quote, these securities are classified as Level 3 per the fair value
hierarchy. Broker quotes are typically received from established market participants. Although independently received on a daily
basis, RIFUS does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the broker quotes. Significant changes
in the broker quote would have direct and proportional changes in the fair value of the security. There is a third-party pricing
exception to the quantitative disclosure requirement when prices are not determined by the reporting entity. RIFUS is exercising
this exception and has made a reasonable attempt to obtain quantitative information from the third party pricing vendors regarding
the unobservable inputs used.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances
for reported fair values that present 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. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the
significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In
accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, a Level 3 reconciliation and an additional disclosure about
fair value measurements, if any, has been included in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings for each respective Fund.

These significant unobservable inputs are further disclosed in the Presentation of Portfolio Holdings for each respective Fund as
applicable.

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 applicable, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred within a particular Fund or Underlying
Fund.

Investment Income
Distributions of income and capital gains from the Target Portfolio Funds or Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.

Derivatives
The Target Portfolio Funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an
underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps and forwards. These instruments offer unique characteristics and
risks that facilitate the Funds’ investment strategies.

The Target Portfolio Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash to markets, hedging and return enhancement. In
addition, the Target Portfolio Funds may enter into foreign exchange contracts for trade settlement purposes. The Target Portfolio
Funds may pursue their strategy of being fully invested by exposing cash to the performance of segments of the global equity market
by purchasing index futures contracts. This is intended to cause the Funds to perform as though cash were actually invested in the
global equity market.

Hedging may be used by the Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return
enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund, including using derivatives as a substitute for holding
physical securities, and using them to express various macro views (e.g., interest rate movements, currency movements, and macro
credit strategies). By purchasing certain instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics
that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks
associated with them may vary widely. These risks include, but are not limited to, market risk, liquidity risk, leveraging risk,
counterparty risk, basis risk, reinvestment risk, political risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, valuation risk and credit risk.

Futures, certain options and cleared swaps are traded or cleared on an exchange or central exchange clearing house. Exchange-
traded or exchange-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a Fund. The exchange’s clearing house stands
between the Fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the clearing
house and the clearing member. Cleared swap contracts are subject to clearing house rules, including initial and variation margin
requirement, daily settlement of obligations and the clearing house guarantee of payments to the broker. There is, however, still
counterparty risk due to the insolvency of the broker with respect to any margin held in the brokers’ customer accounts. While
clearing members are required to segregate customer assets from their own assets, in the event of insolvency, there may be a
shortfall in the amount of margin held by the broker for its clients. Collateral and margin requirements for exchange-traded or
exchange-cleared derivatives are established through regulation, as well as set by the broker or applicable clearing house. Margin
for exchange-traded and exchange-cleared transactions are detailed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash held at the
broker for futures contracts and cash held at the broker for swap contracts, respectively. Securities pledged by a Fund for exchange-
traded and exchange-cleared transactions are noted as collateral or margin requirements in the Schedule of Investments. Typically,
the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge, rehypothecate or otherwise use collateral pledged by the other
party unless explicitly permitted by each respective governing agreement.

In December 2015, the SEC proposed new regulations applicable to a mutual fund's use of derivatives. If adopted as proposed, these
regulations could potentially limit or impact a Fund's ability to invest in derivatives and negatively affect the Fund's performance
and ability to pursue its stated investment objectives.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts
(“FX contracts”). From time to time, the Target Portfolio Funds may enter into FX contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-
denominated assets. FX contracts are recorded at fair 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.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the following Funds entered into foreign currency exchange contracts primarily for the strategies
listed below:

    Due to Broker  
Balanced Strategy Fund $ 450,000

Options
The Target Portfolio Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices. Such options are
traded on a national securities exchange or in an OTC market. The Funds may also purchase and sell (write) call and put options
on foreign currencies.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-
to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives
up the opportunity to profit from any increase in the value of the underlying instrument above the exercise price of the option, and
when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying instrument.

When a Fund sells an uncovered call option, it does not simultaneously have a long position in the underlying security. When a
Fund sells an uncovered put option, it does not simultaneously have a short position in the underlying security. Uncovered options
are riskier than covered options because there is no underlying security held by the Fund that can act as a partial hedge.

Whether an option which the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the
option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is
extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which
a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund
purchases upon exercise of the option.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to
market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price
of the underlying securities and interest rates.

The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into a swaption (an option on a swap). In a swaption, in exchange for an option, the buyer gains
the right but not the obligation to enter into a specified swap agreement with the issuer on a specified future date. The writer of the
contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap.

Futures Contracts
The Target Portfolio Funds may invest in futures contracts. The face or contract value of these instruments reflect the extent of the
Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation
between the change in fair value of the securities held by the Funds and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an
illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial
margin, which typically represents 5% to 10% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the
broker, known as variation margin, are typically required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates.
Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated,
at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the following Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategies listed below:

Swap Agreements
The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether
they are hedging their assets or their liabilities, and will usually enter into swaps on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams
are netted out, with the Funds receiving or paying only the net amount of the two payments). When a Fund engages in a swap, it
exchanges its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations to pay or rights to receive payments of another party
(i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into several different types of swap agreements including credit default, interest rate, total
return and currency swaps. Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk
(the possibility that an issuer will default on its obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party
to another. The lender faces the credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange
for regular periodic payments. Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement, can be customized to meet each party’s needs,
and involve the exchange of a fixed or variable payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Equity swaps are a counterparty
agreement where two parties exchange two sets of cash flows on predetermined dates for an agreed upon amount of time. The cash
flows will typically be an equity index value swapped with a floating rate such as LIBOR plus or minus a predefined spread. Index
swap agreements are a counterparty agreement intended to expose cash to markets or to effect investment transactions consistent
with those Funds’ investment objectives and strategies. Currency swaps are a counterparty agreement where two parties exchange
specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by each paying the other a series of interest payments that are based
on the principal cash flow. At maturity the principal amounts are returned.

The Funds generally expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
portion of their portfolios or to protect against any increase in the price of securities they anticipate purchasing at a later date, or for
return enhancement. Under most swap agreements entered into by a Fund, the parties' obligations are determined on a "net basis".
The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Funds’ obligations over their entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a
daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate NAV at least equal to the accrued excess will be segregated.
To the extent that the Funds enter into swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the
full amount of the Funds’ obligations, if any, with respect to such swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other
party to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction.

A Fund may not receive the expected amount under a swap agreement if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
bankrupt.

As of July 31, 2017, the Funds has cash collateral balances in connection with swap contracts purchased/sold as follows:

  Cash Collateral for Swaps     Due to Broker  
Moderate Strategy Fund $ 2,130,000 $ 190,000
Balanced Strategy Fund $ 13,530,010 $ 6,360,000
Growth Strategy Fund $ 3,870,000 $ 790,000
Equity Growth Strategy Fund $ 510,000 $  

 

Credit Default Swaps
The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap can refer to corporate issues, government
issues, asset-backed securities or an index of assets, each known as the reference entity or underlying asset. Funds may act as
either the buyer or the seller of a credit default swap involving one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange
for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. Depending upon the terms of the contract,
the credit default swap may be closed via physical settlement. However, due to the possible or potential instability in the market,
there is a risk that the Funds may be unable to deliver the underlying debt security to the other party to the agreement. Additionally,
the Funds may not receive the expected amount under the swap agreement if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes
bankrupt. In an unhedged credit default swap, Funds enter into a credit default swap without owning the underlying asset or debt
issued by the reference entity. Credit default swaps allow Funds to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer, asset
or basket of instruments.

As the seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Fund would be required to pay the par or other agreed-upon value (or otherwise
perform according to the swap contract) of a reference debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default (or other specified
credit event) and the counterparty would be required to surrender the reference debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive
from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

credit event occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. As a seller of protection,
the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, that Fund would be subject to
investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

The Target Portfolio Funds may also purchase protection via credit default swap contracts in order to offset the risk of default of
debt securities held in their portfolios or to take a short position in a debt security, in which case the Fund would function as the
counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph.

If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of
the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of
protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Target Portfolio Funds
may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where Funds own
or have exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood (as measured
by the credit default swap’s spread) of a particular issuer’s default.

Deliverable obligations for credit default swaps on asset-backed securities in most instances are limited to the specific referenced
obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other writedown
or loss events on the underlying mortgage loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These
reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap
agreement generally will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. The Target Portfolio Funds may use credit default swaps on asset-
backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults (or other defined credit events) of the referenced obligation
or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default (or another
defined credit event).

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for
the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of
the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be
representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a
poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the
indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging
markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized
terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and
if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes
periodically, usually every six months, and, for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. Traders may use credit
default swaps on indices to speculate on changes in credit quality.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on
corporate issues as of period-end are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments and generally serve as an indicator of the current
status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default (or other defined credit event) for the credit
derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of entering into a credit default swap and
may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-
backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of
the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional
amount of the swap, generally represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk
of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future
payments (undiscounted) that Funds as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement
equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of July 31,
2017, for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. These potential amounts would be
partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the
agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for
the same referenced entity or entities.

Credit default swaps could result in losses if the Funds do not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company or companies
on which the credit default swap is based. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested
in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to risks relating to the reference obligation, credit default swaps are subject
to illiquidity and counterparty risk. A Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it sells a credit default swap than

when it purchases a credit default swap. As a buyer of a credit default swap, a Fund may lose its investment and recover nothing
should a credit event fail to occur and the swap is held to its termination date. As seller of a credit default swap, if a credit event
were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by a Fund, coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously
received, may be less than what it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund.

If the creditworthiness of a Fund’s swap counterparty declines, the risk that the counterparty may not perform could increase,
potentially resulting in a loss to the Fund. To limit the counterparty risk involved in swap agreements, the Funds will only enter
into swap agreements with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. Although there can be no assurance that
the Funds will be able to do so, the Funds may be able to reduce or eliminate their exposure under a swap agreement either by
assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or another creditworthy party.
The Funds may have limited ability to eliminate their exposure under a credit default swap if the credit quality of the reference
entity or underlying asset has declined.

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds entered into credit default swaps primarily for the strategies listed below:

Funds Strategies
Moderate Strategy Fund Return enhancement, hedging, and exposing cash to markets

Total Return Swaps
The Target Portfolio Funds may enter into index swap agreements to expose cash to markets or to effect investment transactions.
Index swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks
to more than one year. In a standard index swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments.

The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., a specified dollar amount
that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index).

For the period ended July 31, 2017, the Funds entered into total return swaps primarily for the strategies listed below:

Funds Strategies
Moderate Strategy Fund Return enhancement, hedging, and exposing cash to markets
Balanced Strategy Fund Return enhancement, hedging, and exposing cash to markets
Growth Strategy Fund Return enhancement, hedging, and exposing cash to markets

Master Agreements
The Target Portfolio Funds are parties to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master
Agreements”) with counterparties that govern transactions in OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into by
the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations,
agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination and default include conditions that may entitle
either party to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master
Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. Since different types of forward and OTC
financial derivative transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular
counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different ISDA Master Agreement, resulting in the need
for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the ISDA Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different
asset types, they allow a Fund to net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions
governed under a single agreement with a counterparty.

Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) govern transactions between a Fund and select counterparties.
The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and
maintenance of collateral for repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements.

Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern the considerations and factors
surrounding the settlement of certain forward settling transactions, such as delayed delivery by and between a Fund and select
counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment
and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

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 and Underlying 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 credit risk, the Funds and Underlying Funds may also be exposed to counterparty risk or risk that an
institution or other entity with which the Funds or Underlying Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential
loss could exceed the value of the relevant assets recorded in the Funds' and Underlying Funds' financial statements (the “Assets”).
The Assets consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds
'exposure to market, credit and counterparty risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the
Funds' and Underlying Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected and political and economic conditions (including
recent instability and volatility) and events (including natural disasters) in one country, region or financial market may adversely
impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. As a result, issuers of securities held by a Fund or an Underlying
Fund may experience significant declines in the value of their assets and even cease operations. Such conditions and/or events may
not have the same impact on all types of securities and may expose a Fund or an Underlying Fund to greater market and liquidity
risk and potential difficulty in valuing portfolio instruments held. This could cause a Fund or an Underlying Fund to underperform
other types of investments.

5. Pending Legal Proceedings
The Strategic Bond Fund is one of several defendants in a bankruptcy adversary avoidance claim in a Consolidated Multidistrict
Action styled In Re: Motors Liquidation Company, et al., Debtors, Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust, etc., v.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, et al., United States District Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The claim relates to
alleged improper payments to the Underlying Fund as a participating lender in a term loan provided to General Motors Company
due to the Underlying Fund’s security interests not being properly perfected. The Underlying Fund has filed answers denying
liability and a crossclaim against the administrative agent for the term loan lenders seeking damages arising from the agent’s failure
to properly perfect the security interests of the lenders.

6. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the events and/or transactions that have occurred through the date this Quarterly Report was issued and
noted no items requiring adjustments of the Quarterly Report or additional disclosures except the following:

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final
rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final
