Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Index, while energy and healthcare lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund maintained exposure to companies with lower valuation, higher quality and smaller capitalization compared to the benchmark. Overall, the Fund’s factor tilts were not rewarded, as the smallest capitalization names dragged on performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed, as an underweight to healthcare and consumer staples added to Fund performance, while an overweight to energy and materials detracted. Industry allocation was not rewarded mainly due to an underweight to the outperforming semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry and an overweight to the underperforming oil, gas & consumable fuels industry. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 1000® Index during the period.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund maintained exposure to companies with lower valuation, higher quality and smaller capitalization compared to the benchmark. Overall, the Fund’s factor tilts were not rewarded, as the smallest capitalization names dragged on performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed, as an underweight to healthcare and consumer staples added to Fund performance, while an overweight to energy and materials detracted. Industry allocation was not rewarded mainly due to an underweight to the outperforming semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry and an overweight to the underperforming oil, gas & consumable fuels industry.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Index, while energy and healthcare lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund maintained exposure to companies with lower valuation, higher quality and smaller capitalization compared to the benchmark. Overall, the Fund’s factor tilts were not rewarded, as the smallest capitalization names dragged on performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed, as an underweight to healthcare and consumer staples added to Fund performance, while an overweight to energy and materials detracted. Industry allocation was not rewarded mainly due to an underweight to the outperforming semiconductors & semiconductor equipment industry and an overweight to the underperforming oil, gas & consumable fuels industry. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 1000® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, financials and industrials were the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Value Index, while energy and health care lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed the Equity Income Linked Benchmark for the fiscal year. None of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks. Stock selection was skewed negative, with outperformance from names within the communication services, information technology and utilities sectors offset by strong underperformance from companies within healthcare, financials and industrials. Factor positioning was negative, as tilts toward smaller size and away from the most expensive and most volatile stocks were not rewarded, while a tilt toward above benchmark growth helped to reduce the negative impact. Sector allocation was negative, as an underweight to the industrials and financials sectors in addition to overweights to the energy and healthcare sectors held back benchmark-relative performance. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 1000® Value Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Index, while energy and health care lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. None of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks. Stock selection was the primary detractor over the period, specifically within the information technology, healthcare and financials sectors. Factor positioning was negative, as tilts toward smaller size and away from the most expensive and most volatile stocks were not rewarded, while a tilt toward above benchmark growth helped to reduce the negative impact. Sector overweights to health care and consumer staples were not beneficial. An underweight to energy helped reduce the negative impact. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 1000® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Index, while energy and health care lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. Two of the Fund’s four money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year. Stock selection was the primary detractor over the period, as holdings within the information technology and healthcare sectors detracted from performance. Factor positioning was negative, as tilts toward smaller size and away from the most expensive and most volatile stocks were not rewarded, while a tilt toward above benchmark growth helped to reduce the negative impact. Sector allocation decisions were mixed over the period, as an overweight to the healthcare sector detracted from performance, while an underweight to the consumer staples sector added to performance. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 1000® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • The latter half of 2023 saw the U.S. small cap equity market exhibit strong performance after a period of range-bound returns earlier in the year. Volatility throughout 2023 was primarily driven by changing expectations for a Fed pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy, U.S. regional banking turmoil and resilient U.S. earnings. Moving into 2024, market returns were muted for the first half of the year, with the Russell 2000® Index lagging the Russell 1000® Index due to market reactions surrounding Fed rate cut delays and strong growth and momentum leadership within large cap stocks. The third quarter of 2024 saw a reversal, as small cap stocks rallied in response to the Fed commencing its easing monetary policy cycle. Overall, financials and information technology were the best performing sectors in the Russell 2000® Index, while energy and utilities lagged over the period.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Three out of the Fund’s six money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks. Stock selection was negative, primarily driven by securities in the information technology sector underperforming. Factor positioning was a negative contributor, with exposure to higher quality and less expensive stocks detracting from performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed over the period, as an overweight to the energy sector detracted while an underweight to the communication services sector was beneficial. Russell Investment Management, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 2000® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • The latter half of 2023 saw the U.S. small cap equity market exhibit strong performance after a period of range-bound returns earlier in the year. Volatility throughout 2023 was primarily driven by changing expectations for a Fed pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy, U.S. regional banking turmoil and resilient U.S. earnings. Moving into 2024, market returns were muted for the first half of the year, with the Russell 2000® Index lagging the Russell 1000® Index due to market reactions surrounding Fed rate cut delays and strong growth and momentum leadership within large cap stocks. The third quarter of 2024 saw a reversal, as small cap stocks rallied in response to the Fed commencing its easing monetary policy cycle. Overall, financials and information technology were the best performing sectors in the Russell 2000® Index, while energy and utilities lagged over the period.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Three out of the Fund’s six money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks. Stock selection was negative, primarily driven by securities in the information technology sector underperforming. Factor positioning was a negative contributor, with exposure to higher quality and less expensive stocks detracting from performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed over the period, as an overweight to the energy sector detracted while an underweight to the communication services sector was beneficial. Russell Investment Management, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 2000® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net) was up 23.84%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilts toward value, quality and smaller size were not beneficial. Sector positioning was flat as allocation impact was modest across sectors. Stock selection was also flat, as ineffective stock selection in industrials was offset by positive selection in consumer staples. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies slightly detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net) was up 23.84%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilts toward value, quality and smaller size were not beneficial. Sector positioning was flat as allocation impact was modest across sectors. Stock selection was also flat, as ineffective stock selection in industrials was offset by positive selection in consumer staples. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies slightly detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net) was up 23.84%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilt towards smaller names was a key detractor. The Fund’s underweights to the energy and utilities sectors were modestly positive. Stock selection was not beneficial as overweight positions in Schlumberger NV and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., along with underweight positions in SAP SE and Hitachi, Ltd were not rewarded over the period. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited and Shell PLC. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was a value strategy with underweights to momentum and larger names. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to quality and low volatility, detracted over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net) was up 23.84%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilt towards smaller names was a key detractor. The Fund’s underweights to the energy and utilities sectors were modestly positive. Stock selection was not beneficial as overweight positions in Schlumberger NV and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., along with underweight positions in SAP SE and Hitachi, Ltd were not rewarded over the period. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited and Shell PLC. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was a value strategy with underweights to momentum and larger names. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to quality and low volatility, detracted over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World Index (Net) was up 33.68%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for developed economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilts towards cheaper names and defensive positioning were not rewarded. Sector positioning was flat, as overweights to financials and communication services were tailwinds, while an underweight to information technology detracted. Stock selection was ineffective, driven by an underweight position in NVIDIA and overweight positions in Samsung Electronics Co., Schlumberger NV and Nestle SA. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited and Meta Platforms, Inc. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was a growth strategy with unrewarded defensive tilts and ineffective stock selection. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and quality and reflecting defensive positioning, detracted over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies was beneficial to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World Index (Net) was up 33.68%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for developed economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilts towards cheaper names and defensive positioning were not rewarded. Sector positioning was flat, as overweights to financials and communication services were tailwinds, while an underweight to information technology detracted. Stock selection was ineffective, driven by an underweight position in NVIDIA and overweight positions in Samsung Electronics Co., Schlumberger NV and Nestle SA. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited and Meta Platforms, Inc. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was a growth strategy with unrewarded defensive tilts and ineffective stock selection. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and quality and reflecting defensive positioning, detracted over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies was beneficial to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI World Index (Net) was up 33.68%. Growth and momentum outperformed while value, small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for developed economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s tilts towards cheaper names and defensive positioning were not rewarded. Sector positioning was flat, as overweights to financials and communication services were tailwinds, while an underweight to information technology detracted. Stock selection was ineffective, driven by an underweight position in NVIDIA and overweight positions in Samsung Electronics Co., Schlumberger NV and Nestle SA. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited and Meta Platforms, Inc. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was a growth strategy with unrewarded defensive tilts and ineffective stock selection. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and quality and reflecting defensive positioning, detracted over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies was beneficial to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Global investor excitement around the artificial intelligence (“AI”) theme drove equity markets higher during the fiscal year. Companies related to the theme, particularly semiconductor producers and companies linked into the AI supply chain, were the main beneficiaries in emerging markets. However, China’s economic headwinds were a challenge over the period and weighed heavily on stock market returns within the country.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Within China, stock selection in financials, consumer discretionary and communication services proved challenging. From a sector perspective, stock selection in financials was challenging across smaller emerging markets, while stock selection in industrials (across Taiwan, India, South Korea) was rewarded. Stock selection in information technology was also beneficial. Money managers with exposure to momentum performed well, while value-biased and value managers were challenged, predominately due to their exposure to China and underweights to richly priced markets such as India. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and momentum factors, was beneficial over the fiscal year. During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize a portion of the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Global investor excitement around the artificial intelligence (“AI”) theme drove equity markets higher during the fiscal year. Companies related to the theme, particularly semiconductor producers and companies linked into the AI supply chain, were the main beneficiaries in emerging markets. However, China’s economic headwinds were a challenge over the period and weighed heavily on stock market returns within the country.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Within China, stock selection in financials, consumer discretionary and communication services proved challenging. From a sector perspective, stock selection in financials was challenging across smaller emerging markets, while stock selection in industrials (across Taiwan, India, South Korea) was rewarded. Stock selection in information technology was also beneficial. Money managers with exposure to momentum performed well, while value-biased and value managers were challenged, predominately due to their exposure to China and underweights to richly priced markets such as India. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and momentum factors, was beneficial over the fiscal year. During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize a portion of the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index, while energy and health care lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. One of the Fund’s four money managers outperformed its assigned benchmark. Stock selection was the primary driver of underperformance, with holdings within the information technology and health care sectors detracting most notably from performance. Factor positioning was negative, as tilts toward smaller size and away from the most expensive and most volatile stocks were not rewarded, while a tilt toward above benchmark growth helped to reduce the negative impact. Sector allocation was not rewarded, with overweights to energy and healthcare and an underweight to information technology as the primary detractors from performance. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the S&P 500® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • In the latter half of 2023, the U.S. large cap equity market performed strongly, driven by solid earnings, robust consumer spending and excitement around artificial intelligence. Moving into 2024, the market maintained its upward trajectory for the first three quarters of the year, albeit with unusual characteristics in more recent months. Extremely narrow market concentration distinguished the second quarter, and the third quarter was led by defensive parts of the market such as real estate and bond proxy sectors as the Fed began an easing cycle. Overall, information technology and communication services were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index, while energy and health care lagged.

  • The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. One of the Fund’s four money managers outperformed its assigned benchmark. Stock selection was the primary driver of underperformance, with holdings within the information technology and health care sectors detracting most notably from performance. Factor positioning was negative, as tilts toward smaller size and away from the most expensive and most volatile stocks were not rewarded, while a tilt toward above benchmark growth helped to reduce the negative impact. Sector allocation was not rewarded, with overweights to energy and healthcare and an underweight to information technology as the primary detractors from performance. Russell Investment Management Company, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the S&P 500® Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • The latter half of 2023 saw the U.S. small cap equity market exhibit strong performance after a period of range-bound returns earlier in the year. Volatility throughout 2023 was primarily driven by changing expectations for a Fed pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy, U.S. regional banking turmoil and resilient U.S. earnings. Moving into 2024, market returns were muted for the first half of the year, with the Russell 2000® Index lagging the Russell 1000® Index due to market reactions surrounding Fed rate cut delays and strong growth and momentum leadership within large cap stocks. The third quarter of 2024 saw a reversal, as small cap stocks rallied in response to the Fed commencing its easing monetary policy cycle. Overall, financials and utilities were the best performing sectors in the Russell 2500™ Index, while energy and consumer staples lagged over the period.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. One of the Fund’s eight money managers outperformed its assigned benchmark. Stock selection was negative, with selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracting from performance. However, selection within the industrials sector helped reduce the negative impact. Factor positioning was a negative contributor, with exposure to higher quality and less expensive stocks detracting from performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed over the period, as an underweight to the utilities sector detracted while an overweight to the financials sector was beneficial. Russell Investment Management, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 2500™ Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • The latter half of 2023 saw the U.S. small cap equity market exhibit strong performance after a period of range-bound returns earlier in the year. Volatility throughout 2023 was primarily driven by changing expectations for a Fed pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy, U.S. regional banking turmoil and resilient U.S. earnings. Moving into 2024, market returns were muted for the first half of the year, with the Russell 2000® Index lagging the Russell 1000® Index due to market reactions surrounding Fed rate cut delays and strong growth and momentum leadership within large cap stocks. The third quarter of 2024 saw a reversal, as small cap stocks rallied in response to the Fed commencing its easing monetary policy cycle. Overall, financials and utilities were the best performing sectors in the Russell 2500™ Index, while energy and consumer staples lagged over the period.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. One of the Fund’s eight money managers outperformed its assigned benchmark. Stock selection was negative, with selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracting from performance. However, selection within the industrials sector helped reduce the negative impact. Factor positioning was a negative contributor, with exposure to higher quality and less expensive stocks detracting from performance. Sector allocation decisions were mixed over the period, as an underweight to the utilities sector detracted while an overweight to the financials sector was beneficial. Russell Investment Management, LLC ("RIM") fully equitized the Fund’s cash utilizing index futures over the fiscal year, which was beneficial given the return of the Russell 2500™ Index during the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) was up 24.33%. Growth and momentum outperformed while small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s underweight to momentum and overweight to quality faced headwinds. Sector positioning was flat, as allocation impact was modest across sectors. Stock selection was not beneficial as overweight positions in Schlumberger NV and Samsung Electronics Co., along with underweight positions in SAP SE and Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited were not rewarded over the period. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and Tencent Holdings Limited. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was an Emerging Markets manager with ineffective stock selection. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to quality and low volatility, was flat over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Over the fiscal year, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) was up 24.33%. Growth and momentum outperformed while small size, low volatility and quality lagged the benchmark. Market returns were primarily driven by expectations that central banks could engineer a soft landing for international economies.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark over the fiscal year. The Fund’s underweight to momentum and overweight to quality faced headwinds. Sector positioning was flat, as allocation impact was modest across sectors. Stock selection was not beneficial as overweight positions in Schlumberger NV and Samsung Electronics Co., along with underweight positions in SAP SE and Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited were not rewarded over the period. This was partially offset by positive contributions from overweight positions in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and Tencent Holdings Limited. The top performing money manager strategy was a growth strategy with exposure to high volatility along with positive stock selection, while the largest detractor was an Emerging Markets manager with ineffective stock selection. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s ("RIM") positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to quality and low volatility, was flat over the fiscal year. The Fund’s use of derivatives to provide preferred positioning with respect to countries and currencies detracted over the fiscal year while the use of index futures to equitize a portion of uninvested cash performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Performance across real asset sectors over the fiscal year was mixed. Real estate emerged as the best-performing asset class, driven by strong performance from office and mall REITs, closely followed by infrastructure, which was supported by strong performance among utilities subsectors. Natural resource equities lagged significantly, managing only modest gains during the fiscal year, with semiconductors ending in negative territory.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark during the period, driven by an overweight and negative security selection within the energy sector, particularly among the oil & gas exploration & production sector. Negative stock selection among the electric utilities sector further detracted from performance. Stock selection among REITs, namely among specialty and office names, was additive. Reflective of the Fund’s security selection results, money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with one manager ending in line with its benchmark and two underperforming their respective benchmarks. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which sought to improve the Fund’s after-tax returns and control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing broadly diversified exposure to the full set of real asset sub-sectors, finished in line with the Fund’s secondary benchmark, benefitting from favorable positioning in natural resources (including an overweight in energy) while positioning in infrastructure (including an underweight in electric utilities) detracted. During the fiscal year, RIM partially equitized the Fund’s cash using index futures contracts to provide the Fund with greater market exposure and this strategy performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance? 

  • Performance across real asset sectors over the fiscal year was mixed. Real estate emerged as the best-performing asset class, driven by strong performance from office and mall REITs, closely followed by infrastructure, which was supported by strong performance among utilities subsectors. Natural resource equities lagged significantly, managing only modest gains during the fiscal year, with semiconductors ending in negative territory.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark during the period, driven by an overweight and negative security selection within the energy sector, particularly among the oil & gas exploration & production sector. Negative stock selection among the electric utilities sector further detracted from performance. Stock selection among REITs, namely among specialty and office names, was additive. Reflective of the Fund’s security selection results, money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with one manager ending in line with its benchmark and two underperforming their respective benchmarks. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which sought to improve the Fund’s after-tax returns and control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing broadly diversified exposure to the full set of real asset sub-sectors, finished in line with the Fund’s secondary benchmark, benefitting from favorable positioning in natural resources (including an overweight in energy) while positioning in infrastructure (including an underweight in electric utilities) detracted. During the fiscal year, RIM partially equitized the Fund’s cash using index futures contracts to provide the Fund with greater market exposure and this strategy performed as intended.
