Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund performed in line with its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Positioning in emerging markets and an overweight to securitized credit were strong contributors, while an underweight to corporate bonds in favor of securitized credit dragged on performance as credit spreads narrowed during the fiscal year. An overweight to duration and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024. Additionally, derivatives were used to maintain a steepening bias in the Fund, which benefitted from the rates curve steepening towards the end of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to actively seek to generate returns through international rates positioning, currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and credit default swaps to adjust credit risk and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund performed in line with its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Positioning in emerging markets and an overweight to securitized credit were strong contributors, while an underweight to corporate bonds in favor of securitized credit dragged on performance as credit spreads narrowed during the fiscal year. An overweight to duration and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024. Additionally, derivatives were used to maintain a steepening bias in the Fund, which benefitted from the rates curve steepening towards the end of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to actively seek to generate returns through international rates positioning, currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and credit default swaps to adjust credit risk and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year.

However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and during the last month of the fiscal year. Sector allocation was additive to performance, as overweights to high yield corporates, commercial mortgaged-backed securities and emerging market debt benefited from a spread tightening environment. During the period, the Fund used derivatives to maintain a steepening bias in the Fund, which benefitted from the rates curve steepening towards the end of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and during the last month of the fiscal year. Sector allocation was additive to performance, as overweights to high yield corporates, commercial mortgaged-backed securities and emerging market debt benefited from a spread tightening environment. During the period, the Fund used derivatives to maintain a steepening bias in the Fund, which benefitted from the rates curve steepening towards the end of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and during the last month of the fiscal year. Sector allocation was additive to performance, as overweights to investment grade and high yield corporates and commercial mortgaged-backed securities benefited from a spread tightening environment. The Fund used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies had mixed results during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, due primarily to out-of-benchmark exposures to corporate bonds and securitized sectors, which outperformed as credit spreads tightened during the fiscal year. Both of the Fund’s money managers benefitted from their allocations to these spread sectors. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and the last month of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies were additive during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, due primarily to out-of-benchmark exposures to corporate bonds and securitized sectors, which outperformed as credit spreads tightened during the fiscal year. Both of the Fund’s money managers benefitted from their allocations to these spread sectors. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and the last month of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies were additive during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Following the rally at the end of 2023, interest rates steadily climbed in 2024, but cooling inflation and a weakening labor market gave central banks confidence to start cutting rates. However, rates volatility (as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index) stayed at elevated levels during the fiscal year and increased in October in anticipation of the U.S. general election. Corporate bonds and securitized credit were top performers over the fiscal year as “all-in” yield buyers brought strong demand and drove credit spreads to decade-tight levels.

  • The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, due primarily to out-of-benchmark exposures to corporate bonds and securitized sectors, which outperformed as credit spreads tightened during the fiscal year. Both of the Fund’s money managers benefitted from their allocations to these spread sectors. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, both implemented via derivatives, detracted from performance as interest rates increased during the beginning of 2024, but this was partially offset as rates rallied at the end of 2023 and the last month of the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures to seek to generate active returns through international rates positioning and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns through currency positioning and these strategies were additive during the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Through the end of the Fund's fiscal year, strong demand was able to keep up with the surge in supply of new municipal bonds as issuers looked to avoid potential volatility around the U.S. election. High yield municipals outperformed their investment grade counterparts over the fiscal year, as both mutual funds and ETFs witnessed inflows. Healthcare and education were among the top performing high yield sectors, while airline, electric, and transportation lagged the Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index.

  • The Fund outperformed the 60% Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index/40% Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated municipals and underweight to AAA- and AA-rated municipals was additive to performance while an underweight to high yield municipals detracted, as lower quality cohorts significantly outperformed over the fiscal year. As rates rallied at the end of 2023 and in the second half of the fiscal year , an overweight to longer maturing municipals contributed positively. This was partially offset by an overweight duration position as rates rose during the first half of 2024 and in October. Overweight positions within the education sector and an underweight to utility sectors also contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to California was additive. Both of the Fund’s money managers outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index over the fiscal year, benefiting from their positioning within the transportation and healthcare sectors, strong security selection and overweight duration positioning.

As rates rallied at the end of 2023 and in the second half of the fiscal year , an overweight to longer maturing municipals contributed positively. This was partially offset by an overweight duration position as rates rose during the first half of 2024 and in October. Overweight positions within the education sector and an underweight to utility sectors also contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to California was additive. Both of the Fund’s money managers outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index over the fiscal year, benefiting from their positioning within the transportation and healthcare sectors, strong security selection and overweight duration positioning.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Through the end of the Fund's fiscal year, strong demand was able to keep up with the surge in supply of new municipal bonds as issuers looked to avoid potential volatility around the U.S. election. High yield municipals outperformed their investment grade counterparts over the fiscal year, as both mutual funds and ETFs witnessed inflows. Healthcare and education were among the top performing high yield sectors, while airline, electric, and transportation lagged the Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index.

  • The Fund outperformed the 60% Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index/40% Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated municipals and underweight to AAA- and AA-rated municipals was additive to performance while an underweight to high yield municipals detracted, as lower quality cohorts significantly outperformed over the fiscal year. As rates rallied at the end of 2023 and in the second half of the fiscal year , an overweight to longer maturing municipals contributed positively. This was partially offset by an overweight duration position as rates rose during the first half of 2024 and in October. Overweight positions within the education sector and an underweight to utility sectors also contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to California was additive. Both of the Fund’s money managers outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index over the fiscal year, benefiting from their positioning within the transportation and healthcare sectors, strong security selection and overweight duration positioning.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • Through the end of the Fund's fiscal year, strong demand was able to keep up with the surge in supply of new municipal bonds as issuers looked to avoid potential volatility around the U.S. Election. BBB-rated municipals outperformed higher quality cohorts over the fiscal year, but still underperformed against the Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index. Healthcare and housing were among the top performing sectors, while Iowa and New Hampshire were among the top performing states.

  • The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal 1-15 Year Blend (1-17)  Index for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated municipals and underweight to AAA- and AA-rated municipals was additive to performance, as lower quality cohorts significantly outperformed over the fiscal year. As rates rallied at the end of 2023 and in the second half of the fiscal year, an overweight to longer maturing municipals contributed positively. This was partially offset by an overweight duration position as rates rose during the first half of 2024 and in October. Overweight positions within the health care, housing and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors also contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to California and overweights to Florida and Georgia were additive. Both of the Fund’s money managers outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index over the fiscal year, benefiting from their sector/state allocation and overweight to lower quality cohorts.

  • Through the end of the Fund's fiscal year, strong demand was able to keep up with the surge in supply of new municipal bonds as issuers looked to avoid potential volatility around the U.S. Election. BBB-rated municipals outperformed higher quality cohorts over the fiscal year, but still underperformed against the Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Index. Healthcare and housing were among the top performing sectors, while Iowa and New Hampshire were among the top performing states.

  • The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal 1-15 Year Blend (1-17)  Index for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated municipals and underweight to AAA- and AA-rated municipals was additive to performance, as lower quality cohorts significantly outperformed over the fiscal year. As rates rallied at the end of 2023 and in the second half of the fiscal year, an overweight to longer maturing municipals contributed positively. This was partially offset by an overweight duration position as rates rose during the first half of 2024 and in October. Overweight positions within the health care, housing and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors also contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s underweight to California and overweights to Florida and Georgia were additive. Both of the Fund’s money managers outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index over the fiscal year, benefiting from their sector/state allocation and overweight to lower quality cohorts.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • For the fiscal year, the global infrastructure market modestly underperformed broader global equities. Within the global infrastructure sector, energy infrastructure was the top performing category. Utilities followed closely, led by electric utilities, benefiting from anticipated U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, expected increases in electricity demand and a shift towards defensive assets due to economic growth concerns. Transports, including the airports and seaports sectors, finished slightly behind the Fund’s secondary benchmark, but still experienced strong performance.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark during the period. Negative security selection among electric utilities had the largest impact on performance. Out-of-index exposure to freight rail further detracted. An underweight to airports and favorable security selection among seaports was beneficial. Money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with two managers hindered by unfavorable stock selection in the electric utilities sector and one manager benefiting from positive security selection in the energy infrastructure and seaport sectors. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of infrastructure stocks, underperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An underweight to electric utilities and airports detracted from performance while an overweight to renewable electricity was beneficial. During the fiscal year, the Fund used index futures contracts to equitize 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? 

  • For the fiscal year, the global infrastructure market modestly underperformed broader global equities. Within the global infrastructure sector, energy infrastructure was the top performing category. Utilities followed closely, led by electric utilities, benefiting from anticipated U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, expected increases in electricity demand and a shift towards defensive assets due to economic growth concerns. Transports, including the airports and seaports sectors, finished slightly behind the Fund’s secondary benchmark, but still experienced strong performance.

  • The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark during the period. Negative security selection among electric utilities had the largest impact on performance. Out-of-index exposure to freight rail further detracted. An underweight to airports and favorable security selection among seaports was beneficial. Money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with two managers hindered by unfavorable stock selection in the electric utilities sector and one manager benefiting from positive security selection in the energy infrastructure and seaport sectors. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of infrastructure stocks, underperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An underweight to electric utilities and airports detracted from performance while an overweight to renewable electricity was beneficial. During the fiscal year, the Fund used index futures contracts to equitize 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? 

  • For the fiscal year, the global real estate market underperformed relative to broader global equities. U.S. property markets stood out as the strongest performers, particularly office and mall REITs. Healthcare REITs also showed resilience, benefiting from long-term growth trends associated with an aging population. Data centers also outperformed, driven by increasing demand linked to advancements in artificial intelligence. In Europe, real estate securities showed strength, whereas property stocks in Asia lagged.

  • The Fund performed in line with its secondary benchmark during the period. Favorable security selection among U.S. specialty REITs significantly contributed to performance, particularly due to the strong results from Iron Mountain, Inc., which benefitted from excitement surrounding its data center business. Stock selection within Australia was also beneficial. An underweight to U.S. storage REITs has a marginally negative impact. Both of the Fund’s money managers demonstrated strong performance during the period, with favorable stock selection in U.S. specialty and office REITs, Australian real estate securities and an overweight position in U.S. specialty REITs driving outperformance. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of real estate stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • For the fiscal year, the global real estate market underperformed relative to broader global equities. U.S. property markets stood out as the strongest performers, particularly office and mall REITs. Healthcare REITs also showed resilience, benefiting from long-term growth trends associated with an aging population. Data centers also outperformed, driven by increasing demand linked to advancements in artificial intelligence. In Europe, real estate securities showed strength, whereas property stocks in Asia lagged.

  • The Fund performed in line with its secondary benchmark during the period. Favorable security selection among U.S. specialty REITs significantly contributed to performance, particularly due to the strong results from Iron Mountain, Inc., which benefitted from excitement surrounding its data center business. Stock selection within Australia was also beneficial. An underweight to U.S. storage REITs has a marginally negative impact. Both of the Fund’s money managers demonstrated strong performance during the period, with favorable stock selection in U.S. specialty and office REITs, Australian real estate securities and an overweight position in U.S. specialty REITs driving outperformance. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of real estate stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An overweight to the storage sector was additive, while an underweight to malls detracted from performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund used index futures contracts to equitize 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? 

  • For the fiscal year, the global real estate market underperformed relative to broader global equities. U.S. property markets stood out as the strongest performers, particularly office and mall REITs. Healthcare REITs also showed resilience, benefiting from long-term growth trends associated with an aging population. Data centers also outperformed, driven by increasing demand linked to advancements in artificial intelligence. In Europe, real estate securities showed strength, whereas property stocks in Asia lagged.

  • The Fund performed in line with its secondary benchmark during the period. Favorable security selection among U.S. specialty REITs significantly contributed to performance, particularly due to the strong results from Iron Mountain, Inc., which benefitted from excitement surrounding its data center business. Stock selection within Australia was also beneficial. An underweight to U.S. storage REITs has a marginally negative impact. Both of the Fund’s money managers demonstrated strong performance during the period, with favorable stock selection in U.S. specialty and office REITs, Australian real estate securities and an overweight position in U.S. specialty REITs driving outperformance. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of real estate stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An overweight to the storage sector was additive, while an underweight to malls detracted from performance. During the fiscal year, the Fund used index futures contracts to equitize 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? 

  • The fiscal year saw heightened volatility as conflicting economic data and central bank policy affected investor sentiment. Initially, central banks raised or maintained interest rates as economic data remained resilient; however, in the second half of the year, moderating inflation and slowing growth prompted central banks to deliver the first interest rate cuts since the pandemic. Equities outperformed fixed income, with equity rallies differentiated across global markets. In the U.S., artificial intelligence (“AI”) and market concentration within large-cap names drove outperformance. Fixed income markets were affected by restrictive monetary policy but delivered positive returns over the fiscal year. Lower quality, higher yielding credit posted greater returns than the aggregate fixed income index as credit spreads remained tight.

  • The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Security selection had a mixed impact on benchmark-relative performance, with some money managers contributing positively and some negatively. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. 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, quality and low volatility factors, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences and implement risk-mitigation strategies and these instruments performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • The fiscal year saw heightened volatility as conflicting economic data and central bank policy affected investor sentiment. Initially, central banks raised or maintained interest rates as economic data remained resilient; however, in the second half of the year, moderating inflation and slowing growth prompted central banks to deliver the first interest rate cuts since the pandemic. Equities outperformed fixed income, with equity rallies differentiated across global markets. In the U.S., artificial intelligence (“AI”) and market concentration within large-cap names drove outperformance. Fixed income markets were affected by restrictive monetary policy but delivered positive returns over the fiscal year. Lower quality, higher yielding credit posted greater returns than the aggregate fixed income index as credit spreads remained tight.

  • The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Security selection had a mixed impact on benchmark-relative performance, with some money managers contributing positively and some negatively. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. 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, quality and low volatility factors, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences and implement risk-mitigation strategies and these instruments performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • The fiscal year saw heightened volatility as conflicting economic data and central bank policy affected investor sentiment. Initially, central banks raised or maintained interest rates as economic data remained resilient; however, in the second half of the year, moderating inflation and slowing growth prompted central banks to deliver the first interest rate cuts since the pandemic. Equities outperformed fixed income, with equity rallies differentiated across global markets. In the U.S., artificial intelligence (“AI”) and market concentration within large-cap names drove outperformance. Fixed income markets were affected by restrictive monetary policy but delivered positive returns over the fiscal year. Lower quality, higher yielding credit posted greater returns than the aggregate fixed income index as credit spreads remained tight.

  • The Fund underperformed the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Composite Index for the fiscal year. Security selection was a negative contributor to benchmark-relative performance, as active managers struggled in a concentrated market driven by AI themes. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. 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 low volatility factors, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences and implement risk-mitigation strategies and these instruments performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • The fiscal year saw heightened volatility as conflicting economic data and central bank policy affected investor sentiment. Initially, central banks raised or maintained interest rates as economic data remained resilient; however, in the second half of the year, moderating inflation and slowing growth prompted central banks to deliver the first interest rate cuts since the pandemic. Equities outperformed fixed income, with equity rallies differentiated across global markets. In the U.S., artificial intelligence (“AI”) and market concentration within large-cap names drove outperformance. Fixed income markets were affected by restrictive monetary policy but delivered positive returns over the fiscal year. Lower quality, higher yielding credit posted greater returns than the aggregate fixed income index as credit spreads remained tight.

  • The Fund underperformed the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Composite Index for the fiscal year. Security selection was a negative contributor to benchmark-relative performance, as active managers struggled in a concentrated market driven by AI themes. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. 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 low volatility factors, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences and implement risk-mitigation strategies and these instruments performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

  • The fiscal year saw heightened volatility as conflicting economic data and central bank policy affected investor sentiment. Initially, central banks raised or maintained interest rates as economic data remained resilient; however, in the second half of the year, moderating inflation and slowing growth prompted central banks to deliver the first interest rate cuts since the pandemic. Equities outperformed fixed income, with equity rallies differentiated across global markets. In the U.S., artificial intelligence (“AI”) and market concentration within large-cap names drove outperformance. Fixed income markets were affected by restrictive monetary policy but delivered positive returns over the fiscal year. Lower quality, higher yielding credit posted greater returns than the aggregate fixed income index as credit spreads remained tight.

  • The Fund underperformed the Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Composite Index for the fiscal year. Security selection was a negative contributor to benchmark-relative performance, as active managers struggled in a concentrated market driven by AI themes. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. 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 low volatility factors, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences and implement risk-mitigation strategies and these instruments performed as intended.
