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

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that diversifies its investments in equity, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative active underlying funds pursuant to Russell Investment Management, LLC’s target strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds. During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

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

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that diversifies its investments in equity, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative active underlying funds pursuant to Russell Investment Management, LLC’s target strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds. During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

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

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that diversifies its investments in equity, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative active underlying funds pursuant to Russell Investment Management, LLC’s target strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds.During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

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

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that diversifies its investments in equity, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative active underlying funds pursuant to Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) target strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds. During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds.During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

The Fund’s performance is therefore a function of its asset allocation, the performance of the asset classes in which it invests and active management results of the underlying funds. During the fiscal year, fixed income performance favored longer-duration government and credit exposures over shorter-duration assets, while equities were led by emerging markets, developed international markets and U.S. large cap equity markets, which outperformed U.S. small cap equities. Active performance of the underlying funds was mixed, with some underlying funds outperforming their benchmarks and others underperforming their benchmarks.

How did the Fund perform over the last 10 years?*

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed fiscal years of the Fund. It assumes a $10,000 initial investment at the beginning of the first fiscal year in an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the same period.

(each an “Investment Company”)
 
Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy
Effective Date: April 1, 2025
 
 
I.        Statement of Purpose.
 
This Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) has been adopted by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of each Investment Company to apply to any and all engagements of the independent auditor with: (1) an Investment Company for audit and permissible non-audit services and (2) the Investment Company’s adviser or its control affiliates (collectively, “Adviser Entities”) for permissible non-audit services that relate directly to the Investment Company’s operations or financial reporting (“fund-related services”) 1. The term “Funds” shall collectively refer to each series of an Investment Company that is a series company and to each Investment Company that is not a series company.  The term “Investment Adviser” shall refer to the Funds’ adviser, Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”).  This Policy does not delegate to management the responsibilities set forth herein for the pre-approval of services performed by the Funds’ independent auditor. 
 
II.     Statement of Principles.
 
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) and rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Audit Committee of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Audit Committee”) is charged with responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor for the Funds.  As part of these responsibilities, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve: (1) the audit services and permissible non-audit services, such as audit-related, tax and other services (“non-audit services”), to be performed by the independent auditor for the Funds, and (2) the services to be performed by the independent auditor for Adviser Entities that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the fund, in each case to assure that the independence of the auditor is not in any way compromised or impaired with respect to the Funds.  In determining whether an auditor is independent in light of the services it provides to a Fund or Adviser Entity, there are four guiding principles under the Act and relevant SEC rules that must be considered.  In general, the independence of the auditor to the Funds could be deemed impaired if the auditor has a relationship or provides a service that:
 
(a) Creates a mutual or conflicting interest between the auditor and the audit client (including the Funds whose financial statements are being audited, as well as affiliates of the Funds covered by relevant SEC rules);
(b) Results in the auditor acting as management or an employee of the audit client;
(c) Places the auditor in the position of auditing its own work; or
(d) Places the accountant in a position of being an advocate for the audit client.
 
Accordingly, it is the Funds’ policy that the independent auditor for the Funds must not be engaged to perform any service that contravenes the rules adopted by the SEC governing auditor independence, including the four guidelines set forth above, or which in any way could be deemed to impair or compromise the independence of the auditor for the Funds.  This Policy is designed to accomplish those requirements and will henceforth be applied to all engagements by the Funds of their independent auditor, whether for audit, audit-related, tax, or other non-audit services, as well as to engagements of the auditor by Adviser Entities for fund-related services.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC establish two distinct approaches to the pre-approval of auditor services by the Audit Committee.  The proposed services either may receive general pre-approval through adoption by the Audit Committee of pre-approval policies and procedures, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular services (e.g., a list of authorized services for the fund, together with a budget of expected costs for those services), the Audit Committee is informed of each service and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management (“general pre-approval”), or specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services provided to the Funds or fund-related services provided to Adviser Entities on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approval”). 
 
The Funds’ Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches reflected in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure for the pre-approval of permissible services performed by the Funds’ independent auditor.  The Funds’ Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule lists the audit, audit-related, tax and other services (including fund-related services) that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. 2 As set forth in this Policy, unless a particular service has received general pre-approval, those services will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before any such services can be provided by the independent auditor.  Any proposed service to the Funds or Adviser Entities that exceeds the pre-approved budget for those services will also require specific pre-approval by the appropriate Audit Committee.
 
In assessing whether a particular audit or non-audit service should be approved, the Audit Committee will take into account the ratio between the total amounts paid for audit, audit-related, tax and other services, based on historical patterns, with a view toward assuring that the level of fees paid for non-audit services as they relate to the fees paid for audit services does not compromise or impair the independence of the auditor.  The Audit Committee will review the list of general pre-approved services, including the pre-approved budget for those services, at least annually and more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Audit Committee, and may implement changes thereto from time to time.
 
III.      Delegation.
 
As provided in the Act and in the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee from time to time may delegate either general or specific pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.  Any member to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
 
IV.       Audit Services.
 
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees for the independent auditor for the Funds require specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the independent auditor in order to be able to form an opinion on the financial statements for the Funds for that year.  These other procedures include reviews of information systems, procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and rely on the Funds’ systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit.  Audit services also include the attestation engagement for the independent auditor’s report on the report from management on financial reporting internal controls.  The Audit Committee will review the audit services engagement as necessary or appropriate in the sole judgment of the Audit Committee. 
 
In addition to the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the annual engagement of the independent auditor to perform audit services described above, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide.  These services are generally related to the issuance of an audit opinion, and may include statutory audits and services associated with the Funds’ SEC registration statement on Form N-1A or Form N-2, periodic reports and documents filed with or information requested by the SEC or other regulatory or self-regulatory organizations, or other documents issued in connection with the Funds’ securities offerings.
 
The audit services engagement terms and fees for the independent auditor for the Funds, as described above, must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate on an annual basis. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the other audit services set forth in Schedule A of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule.  All other audit services not listed in Schedule A of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate.
 
V.      Audit-Related Services.
 
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements for the Funds, or the separate financial statements for a series of the Funds that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor.  Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not compromise or impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval to audit related services.  “Audit-related services” include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal reporting requirements, including  reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to applicable requirements.
 
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services set forth in Schedule B of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule.  All other audit-related services not listed in Schedule B of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate.
 
VI.     Tax Services.
 
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to the Funds, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice, without impairing the auditor’s independence and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such services.  Consequently, the Audit Committee believes that it may grant general pre-approval to those tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the auditor, and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.  However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor to provide tax advice in connection with any transaction recommended by the independent auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported by the United States Internal Revenue Code and related regulations or the applicable tax statutes and regulations that apply to the Funds’ investments outside the United States.  The Audit Committee will consult with the Treasurer of the Funds or outside counsel to determine that the Funds’ tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this policy. 
 
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the tax services set forth in Schedule C of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule. All other tax services not listed in Schedule C of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate.
 
VII.      All Other Services.
 
The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the independent auditor from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted.  Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes that it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as “all other” services that the Audit Committee believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair or compromise the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
 
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the permissible “all other services” set forth in Schedule D of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule.  Permissible “all other services” not listed in Schedule D of the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approved Services Schedule must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate.
 
A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services are as follows:
 
(a) Bookkeeping or other services relating to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds
(b) Financial information system design and implementation
(c) Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports
(d) Actuarial services
(e) Internal audit outsourcing services
(f) Management functions
(g) Human resources services
(h) Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services
(i) Legal services unrelated to the audit
(j) Expert services unrelated to the audit
 
The SEC’s rules and relevant official interpretations and guidance should be consulted to determine the scope of these prohibited services and the applicability of any exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.  Under no circumstance may an executive, manager or associate of the Funds, the Investment Adviser or an Adviser Entity authorize the independent auditor for the Funds to provide prohibited non-audit services.
 
VIII.      De Minimis Waiver.
 
In accordance with the Act and SEC regulations, notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, the pre-approval requirements of this Policy are waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided:
 
            (a)        The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid the Investment Company to the independent auditor during the fiscal year in which the services were provided;
 
            (b)        Such services were not recognized by the Funds at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee or its delegate; and
 
            (c)        Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate prior to the completion of the audit, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of this Policy.
 
With respect to the provision of fund-related services to Adviser Entities, the aggregate amount of services provided must constitute no more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by the Investment Company and the relevant Adviser Entities to the independent auditor during the fiscal year in which the services were provided.
 
In connection with the approval of any non-audit service pursuant to this de minimis exception, a record shall be made indicating that each of the conditions for this exception has been satisfied.
 
IX.       Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts.
 
Pre-approved fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee and shall be subject to periodic subsequent review during the year if deemed appropriate by the Audit Committee (separate amounts may be specified for the Funds and for other affiliates in the investment company complex subject to pre-approval).  Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee will be mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.  For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may determine the appropriateness of the ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related, and tax services for the Funds (including any audit-related or tax services fees for affiliates subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services classified as “all other services” for the Funds (including any such services for affiliates subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee or its delegate).
 
X.        Procedures
 
All requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the “Investment Company Clearance Committee” (the “Clearance Committee”) (which shall be comprised of not less than three members, including the Treasurer of the Funds who shall serve as its Chairperson) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered and the estimated costs of those services.  The Clearance Committee will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received general pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee will be informed not less frequently than quarterly by the Chairperson of the Clearance Committee of any such services rendered by the independent auditor for the Funds and the fees paid to the independent auditors for such services.
 
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Clearance Committee and must include a joint certification by the engagement partner of the independent auditor and the Chairperson of the Clearance Committee that, in their view, the request or application does not involve a prohibited non-audit service and is consistent with the SEC’s rules governing auditor independence.
 
Russell Investments’ associates and the officers of the Investment Company will report to the Chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Internal Audit Department or an officer of the Investment Company.
 
XI.       Additional Requirements.
 
The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work performed by the independent auditor and to assure the independent auditor’s continuing independence from the Funds and their affiliates.  Such efforts will include, but not be limited to, reviewing a written annual statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Investment Company, RIM and their subsidiaries and affiliates (including persons in financial reporting oversight roles) that may reasonably be thought to bear on the auditor’s independence, consistent with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526, and discussing with the independent auditor its methods and procedures for ensuring its independence.
 
Footnotes
1      Adviser Entities include the Funds’ investment adviser (but not a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and whose activities are overseen by the principal investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds.
2      As noted below, the annual audit services engagement terms and fees for the independent auditor for the Funds require specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.
 
 
(e) (2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is as follows:
 
Audit Fees                                          0%
Audit-Related Fees                           0%
Tax Fees                                             0%
All Other Fees                                   0%
 
(f) For services, 50 percent or more of which were pre-approved, the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
 
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant were as follows:
2024   $0
2025   $0
 
(h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of nonaudit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
 
(i) Not applicable, as the registrant has not been identified by the SEC as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.
 
(j) Not applicable, as the registrant is not a foreign issuer.

Organization
Russell
Investment
Company
(the
“Investment
Company”
or
“RIC”)
is
a
series
investment
company
with
29
different
investment
portfolios
referred
to
as
funds.
These
financial
statements
report
on
five
of
these
funds
(each
a
“Fund”
and
collectively
the
“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
Fourth
Amended
and
Restated
Master
Trust
Agreement
dated
December
7,
2020,
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
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.
Unless
otherwise
specified,
“period”
(as
used
within
the
financial
statements)
refers
to
the
twelve
months
ended
October
31,
2025.
Each
of
the
Funds
listed
in
the
table
below
is
a
“fund
of
funds”
and
diversifies
its
assets
by
investing
in
shares
of
several
other
RIC
funds
(the
“Underlying
Funds”).
These
financial
statements
should
be
read
in
conjunction
with
the
financial
statements
of
the
Underlying
Funds,
which
can
be
obtained
at
russellinvestments.com.
Each
Fund
seeks
to
achieve
its
specific
investment
objective
by
investing
in
different
combinations
of
Underlying
Funds.
The
following
table
shows
each
Fund’s
approximate
target
strategic
asset
allocation
to
equity,
fixed
income,
multi-asset
and
alternative
asset
classes
as
of
October
31,
2025.
The
equity
Underlying
Funds
in
which
the
Funds
may
invest
include
the
Multifactor
U.S.

U.S.
Strategic
Equity,
Sustainable
Aware
Equity,
U.S.
Small
Cap
Equity,
Multifactor
International
Equity,

Funds.
The
fixed
income
Underlying
Funds
in
which
the
Funds
may
invest
include
the
Opportunistic
Credit,
Long
Duration
Bond,
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

Funds.
The
alternative
Underlying
Funds
in
which
the
Funds
may
invest
include
the
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.
Russell
Investment
Management,
LLC
(“RIM”),
the
Funds’
investment
adviser,
may
modify
the
target
strategic
asset
allocation
for
any
Fund,
including
changes
to
the
Underlying
Funds
in
which
a
Fund
invests,
from
time
to
time.
RIM’s
allocation
decisions
are
generally
based
on
RIM’s
outlook
on
the
business
and
economic
cycle,
relative
market
valuations
and
market
sentiment.
RIM
may
change
a
Fund’s
target
strategic
asset
allocation
by
up
to
+/-
5%
at
the
equity,
fixed
income,
multi-asset
or
alternative
asset
class
level
based
on
RIM’s
capital
markets
research.
A
Fund’s
actual
allocation
may
vary
from
the
target
strategic
asset
allocation
at
any
point
in
time
due
to
market
movements
and/or
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.
A
Fund’s
target
strategic
asset
allocation
and
the
Underlying
Funds
in
which
a
Fund
may
invest
may
be
changed
from
time
to
time
without
shareholder
notice
or
approval.
*
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.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Funds’
financial
statements
are
prepared
in

principles
(“U.S.
GAAP”),
which
require
the
use
of
management
estimates

Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The

The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
each
Fund
in
the
preparation
of
its
financial
statements.

Segment
Reporting
(Topic

Improvements
to
Reportable
Segment
Disclosures
defines
an
operating
segment
as
a
component
of
a
public
entity
that
engages
in
business
activities
from
which
it
may
recognize
revenues
and
incur
expenses
and
has
operating
results
that
are
regularly
reviewed
by
its
chief
operating
decision
maker
(“CODM”)
to
assess
performance
and
make
resource
allocation
decisions.
Russell
Investments’
Executive
Committee
is
the
CODM.
Each
Fund
is
a
single
reporting
segment
since
the
CODM
evaluates
each
Fund
holistically.
The
CODM
uses
total
returns,
Fund
expense
information,
and
share
transactions
data
consistent
with
that
which
is
presented
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements
to
assess
the
single
segment
performance
and
make
decisions.
The
accounting
policies
of
the
segment
are
the
same
as
those
described
in
this
“Significant
Accounting
Policies”
note.
Segment
assets
and
significant
expenses
are
reflected
in
each
Fund’s
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities
and
Statement
of
Operations,
respectively.
Recent
Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December
2023,
the
FASB
issued
ASU
2023-09,
Improvements
to
Income
Tax
Disclosures
,
which
amends
quantitative
and
qualitative
income
tax
disclosure
requirements
to
increase
disclosure
consistency,
bifurcate
income
tax
information
by
jurisdiction
and
remove
information
that
is
no
longer
beneficial.
The
ASU
is
effective
for
annual
periods
beginning
after
December
15,
2024,
and
early
adoption
is
permitted.
At
this
time,
management
is
evaluating
the
implications
of
these
changes
on
the
financial
statements.
Security
Valuation
The
Underlying
Funds
value
portfolio
instruments
according
to
securities
valuation
procedures,
which
include
market
value
procedures,
fair
value
procedures,
other
key
valuation
procedures
and
a
description
of
the
pricing
sources
and
services
used
by
the
Underlying
Funds.
With
respect
to
an
Underlying
Fund’s
investments
that
do
not
have
readily
available
market
quotations,
the
Board
has
designated
RIM,
the
Underlying
Funds’
adviser,
as
the
valuation
designee
to
perform
fair
valuations
pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
Investment
Company
Act.
However,
the
Board
retains
oversight
over
the
valuation
process.
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,
requires
a
separate
disclosure
of
the
fair
value
hierarchy
for
each
major
category
of
assets
and
liabilities,
and
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
RIM,
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
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:
investments
in
investment
funds
that
are
not
traded
on
a
national
securities
exchange
will
be
valued
based
upon
the
NAV
per
share
of
such
investments
without
further
adjustment
as
a
practical
expedient.
As
of
October
31,
2025,
all
investments
held
were
classified
as
Level
1
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
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.
Investment
Income
Distributions
of
income
and
capital
gains
from
the
Funds
or
Underlying
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Federal
Income
Taxes
Each
Fund
is
a
separate
corporate
taxpayer
and
determines
its
net
investment
income
and
capital
gains
(or
losses)
and
the
amounts
to
be
distributed
to
each
Fund’s
shareholders
without
regard
to
the
income
and
capital
gains
(or
losses)
of
the
other
Funds.
Each
Fund
intends
to
qualify
or
continue
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended
(the
“Code”),
and
intends
to
distribute
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
capital
gains.
Therefore,
no
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required
for
the
Funds.
The
Funds
comply
with
the
authoritative
guidance
for
uncertainty
in
income
taxes
which
requires
management
to
determine
whether
a
tax
position
of
the
Funds
is
more
likely
than
not
to
be
sustained
upon
examination,
including
resolution
of
any
related
appeals
or
litigation
processes,
based
on
the
technical
merits
of
the
position.
For
tax
positions
meeting
the
more
likely
than
not
threshold,
the
tax
amount
recognized
in
the
financial
statements
is
reduced
by
the
largest
benefit
that
has
a
greater
than
50%
likelihood
of
being
realized
upon
ultimate
settlement
with
the
relevant
taxing
authority.
Management
determined
that
no
accruals
need
to
be
made
in
the
financial
statements
due
to
uncertain
tax
positions.
Management
continually
reviews
and
adjusts
the
Funds’
liability
for
income
taxes
based
on
analyses
of
tax
laws
and
regulations,
as
well
as
their
interpretations,
and
other
relevant
factors.
Each
Fund
files
a
U.S.
tax
return.
As
of
October
31,
2025,
the
Funds
had
recorded
no
liabilities
for
net
unrecognized
tax
benefits
relating
to
uncertain
income
tax
positions
they
have
taken
or
expect
to
take
in
future
tax
returns.
While
the
statute
of
limitations
remains
open
to
examine
the
Funds’
U.S.
tax
returns
filed
for
the
fiscal
years
ended
October
31,
2022,
through

The
Funds
are
not
aware
of
any
tax
positions
for
which
it
is
reasonably
possible
that
the
total
amounts
of
unrecognized
tax
benefits
will
significantly
change
in
the
next
twelve
months.
Dividends
and
Distributions
to
Shareholders
Income
dividends,
capital
gain
distributions
and
return
of
capital,
if
any,
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Income
dividends
are
generally
declared
and
paid
quarterly.
Capital
gain
distributions
are
generally
declared
and
paid
annually.
An
additional
distribution
may
be
paid
by
the
Funds
to
avoid
imposition
of
federal
income
and
excise
tax
on
any
remaining
undistributed
capital
gains
and
net
investment
income.
The
timing
and
characterization
of
certain
income
and
capital
gain
distributions
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
tax
regulations
which
may
differ
from
U.S.
GAAP.
As
a
result,
net
investment
income
and
net
realized
gain
(or
loss)
on
investments
and
foreign
currency-related
transactions
for
a
reporting
period
may
differ
significantly
from
distributions
during
such
period.
The
differences
between
tax
regulations
and
U.S.
GAAP
primarily
relate
to
investments
in
the
Underlying

Accordingly,
the

reclassifications
among
certain
of
their

without
impacting
their

Expenses
Expenses
included
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
reflect
the
expenses
of
each
Fund
and
do
not
include
those
expenses
incurred
by
the
Underlying
Funds.
Because
the
Underlying
Funds
have
varied
expense
and
fee
levels
and
the
Funds
may
own
different
proportions
of
the
Underlying
Funds
at
different
times,
the
amount
of
the
Underlying
Funds’
fees
and
expenses
incurred
indirectly
by
the
Funds
will
vary.
The
Funds
pay
their
own
expenses
other
than
those
expressly
assumed
by
RIM,
the
Funds’
adviser,
or
Russell
Investments
Fund
Services,
LLC
(“RIFUS”),
the
Funds’
administrator
and
transfer
agent.
Whenever
an
expense
can
be
attributed
to
a
particular
Fund,
the
expense
is
charged
to
that
Fund.
Common
expenses
are
allocated
among
the
Funds
based
primarily
upon
their
relative
net
assets.
Class
Allocation
Each
of
the
Funds
presented
herein
may
offer
certain
of
the
following
classes
of
shares:
Class
A,
Class
C,
Class
M,
Class
R1,
Class
R5
and
Class
S.
All
share
classes
have
identical
voting,
dividend,
liquidation
and
other
rights,
preferences,
powers,
restrictions,
limitations,
qualifications
and
the
same
terms
and
conditions.
The
separate
classes
of
shares
differ
principally
in
the
applicable
sales
charges,
transfer
agent
fees,
distribution
fees
and
shareholder
servicing
fees.
Shareholders
of
each
class
bear
certain
expenses
that
pertain
to
that
particular
class.
Realized
and
unrealized
gains
(losses),
investment
income,
and
expenses
with
the
exception
of
class
level
expenses,
are
allocated
daily
to
each
class
of
shares
based
upon
the
relative
proportion
of
net
assets
of
each
class.
Guarantees
Under
the
Investment
Company’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
Trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Investment
Company.
Additionally,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Funds
may
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
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
Underlying
Funds
may
also
be
exposed
to
counterparty
risk
or
risk
that
an
institution
or
other
entity
with
which
the
Underlying
Funds
have
unsettled
or
open
transactions
will
default.
The
potential
loss
could
exceed
the
value
of
the
relevant
assets
recorded
in
the
Underlying
Funds’
financial
statements
(the
“Assets”).
The
Assets
consist
principally
of
cash
due
from
counterparties
and
investments.
The
extent
of
the
Underlying
Funds’
exposure
to
market,
credit
and
counterparty
risks
with
respect
to
the
Assets
approximates
their
carrying
value
as
recorded
in
the
Underlying
Funds’
Statements
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Global
financial
markets
are
increasingly
interconnected
and
political
and
economic
conditions
(including
instability
and
volatility
due
to
international
trade
disputes)
and
events
(including
natural
disasters,
pandemics,
epidemics,
social
unrest
and
government
shutdowns)
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
an
Underlying
Fund
may
experience
significant
declines
in
the
value
of
their
assets
and
even
cease
operations.
This
could
occur
whether
or
not
the
Underlying
Fund
invests
in
securities
of
issuers
located
in
or
with
significant
exposure
to
the
countries
directly
affected.
Such
conditions
and/or
events
may
not
have
the
same
impact
on
all
types
of
securities
and
may
expose
an
Underlying
Fund
to
greater
market
and
liquidity
risk
and
potential
difficulty
in
valuing
portfolio
instruments
held
by
an
Underlying
Fund.
This
could
cause
an
Underlying
Fund
to
underperform
other
types
of
investments.

Line
of
Credit
The
Funds
participate
in
a
$200
million
unsecured
line
of
credit
agreement
with
State
Street
Bank
and
Trust
Company
(the
“Credit
Agreement”),
which
is
currently
in
effect
through
March
11,
2026,
but
may
be
renewed
on
an
annual
basis
thereafter.
Borrowings
made
by
the
Funds
will
be
utilized
solely
for
temporary
or
emergency
purposes
as
contemplated
by
the
Investment
Company
Act
including,
without
limitation,
funding
shareholder
redemptions.
Interest
on
borrowing
is
charged
to
a
Fund
at
a
variable
rate
as
determined
in
accordance
with
the
Credit
Agreement.
In
addition,
a
commitment
fee
computed
at
an
annual
rate
of
0.20%
on
the
daily
unused
portion
of
the
line
of
credit
is
allocated
among
the
participating
Funds
pro-rata
based
on
average
daily
net
assets
for
the
applicable
period.
The
Funds
are
subject
to
certain
covenants
contained
in
the
Credit
Agreement.
Failure
to
comply
with
these
covenants
could
cause
the
acceleration
of
the
repayment
of
the
amount
outstanding
under
the
Credit
Agreement.
Expenses
associated
with
the
line
of
credit,
such
as
legal
fees
and
the
commitment
fee,
are
shown
on
the
Statement
of
Operations
as
miscellaneous
fees.
The
Funds
did
not
make
any
borrowings
under
the
line
of
credit
during
the
period
ended
October
31,
2025.

Opinions
on

We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedules
of
investments,
of
Conservative
Strategy
Fund,
Moderate
Strategy

and

Aggressive

(five
of
the

constituting
Russell

hereafter
collectively
referred
to
as
the
“Funds”)
as
of
October
31,
2025,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
October
31,
2025,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2025,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for

of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2025
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
each
of
the
Funds
as
of
October
31,
2025,
the
results
of
each
of
their
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
each
of
their
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2025
and
each
of
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2025
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinions
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
October
31,
2025
by
correspondence
with
the
transfer
agent.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinions.

Approval
of

Advisory
Agreement
The
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
requires
that
the
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”),
including
a
majority
of
its
members
who
are
not
considered
to
be
“interested
persons”
under
the
1940
Act
(the
“Independent
Trustees”)
voting
separately,
approve
for
an
initial
term
not
to
exceed
two
years
and,
thereafter,
approve
the
continuation
of
the
advisory
agreement
with
Russell

Management,
LLC
(“RIM”)
(the
“RIM
Agreement”)
and
the
portfolio
management
contract
with
each
Money
Manager
of
the
funds
(collectively,
the
“portfolio

contracts”
and,
with
the
RIM
Agreement,
the
“Agreements”)
in
which
the
Funds
invest
(the
“Underlying

on
at
least
an
annual
basis
and
that
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
RIM
Agreement
and
the
terms
and
conditions
of
each
portfolio
management
contract
provide
for
its
termination
if
continuation
is
not
approved
annually.
The
Board,
including
all
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
considered
and
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Agreements
at
a
meeting
held
in
person
on
May
19,
2025
(the
“Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting”).
During
the
course
of
a
year,
the
Trustees
receive
a
wide
variety
of
materials
regarding,
among
other
things,
the
investment
performance
of
the
Funds
and
Underlying
Funds,
sales
and
redemptions
of
the
Funds’
and
Underlying
Funds’
shares,
management
of
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
and
other
services
provided
by
RIM
(and
its
affiliates)
and
the
Money
Managers
and
compliance
with
applicable
regulatory
requirements.
In
preparation
for
the
annual
review,
the
Independent
Trustees,
with
the
advice
and
assistance
of
their
independent
counsel
(“Independent
Counsel”),
also
requested
and
the
Board
considered:
(1)
information
and
reports
prepared
by
RIM
relating
to
the
services
provided
by
RIM
(and
its
affiliates)
and
the
Money
Managers
to
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds;
(2)
information
and
reports
prepared
by
RIM
relating
to
the
profitability
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
to
RIM
(and
its
affiliates);
and
(3)
information
received
from
an
independent,
nationally
recognized
provider
of
investment
company
information
(the
“Third-Party
Provider”)
comparing
(i)
the
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
over
various
time
periods
and
(ii)
the
Funds’
and
the
Underlying
Funds’
respective
operating
expenses
as
of
each
Fund’s
last
fiscal
year
end,
with
other
peer
funds
not
managed
by
RIM,
believed
by
the
Third-Party
Provider
to
be
generally
comparable
to
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
(the
“Third-Party
Information”).
The
Third-Party
Information
provided
performance
comparisons
for
Class
S
shares
and
operating
expense
comparisons
for
Class
A
shares
of
the
Funds,
and
performance
comparisons
and
operating
expense
comparisons
for
Class
S
shares
of
the
Underlying
Funds,
except
for
the
Long
Duration
Bond
Fund,
for
which
the
Third-Party
Information
showed
performance
comparisons
for
Class
S
since
first
being
issued
on
September
11,
2023,
and
for
Class
Y
shares
prior
to
that
date.
In
the
case
of
each
Fund,
its
other
peer
funds
are
collectively
hereinafter
referred
to
as
the
Fund’s
“Comparable
Funds,”
and,
with
the
Fund,
such
Comparable
Funds
are
collectively
hereinafter
referred
to
as
the
Fund’s
“Performance
Universe”
in
the
case
of
performance
comparisons,
and
the
Fund’s
“Expense
Universe”
in
the
case
of
operating
expense
comparisons.
The
foregoing
and
other
information
received
by
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
in
connection
with
its
evaluations
of
the
Agreements
are
collectively
called
the
“Agreement
Evaluation
Information.”
The
Trustees’
evaluations
also
reflected
the
knowledge
and
familiarity
gained
as
Board
members
of
the
Funds
and
the
other
RIM-
managed
funds
for
which
the
Board
has

responsibility,
including
the

Funds
(“Other

with
respect
to
services
provided
by
RIM,
RIM’s
affiliates
and
each

The
Trustees
received
a
memorandum
from
counsel
to

Funds
and

(“Fund

discussing

legal
standards
for

consideration

On
the
basis
of
that

requested
that
RIM

Chair,
on
behalf
of
the

requested
that
RIM
reconsider
its
proposal
for
an
additional
advisory
fee
waiver
for
the
Balanced

Fund,
and
a
revised
proposal
was
presented
by
RIM
at

At
the

the

again
met

in
a

with
Independent

to
review
the
additional

Information
received
to

At
the

the

including
the

considered
the
proposed
continuance
of
the

with
RIM,
Fund
management,
Independent

and
Fund
Counsel.
The
Board
considered
that
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
and
presentations
made
by
RIM
at
the
Agreement
Information
Review
Meeting
and
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting
as
part
of
this
review
encompassed
the
Funds
and
all
Other
RIM
Funds.
Information
received
by
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
prior
to
and
at
the
Agreement
Information
Review
Meeting,
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting,
and
other
meetings
identified
above
is
included
in
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information.
Prior
to
voting
at
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting,
the
Independent
Trustees
again
met
in
private
session
with
Independent
Counsel
to
consider
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
received
from
RIM
and
management
at
and
prior
to
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting.
The
discussion
below
reflects
the
culmination
of
all
of
these
reviews.
In
evaluating
the
Agreements,
the
Board
considered
that
most
of
the
Underlying
Funds
(the
“Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds”)
employ
a
manager-of-managers
method
of
investment
and
that
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
in
employing
a
manager-of-managers
method
of
investment,
operate
in
a
manner
that
is
different
from
many
other
investment
companies.
Specifically,
the
Board
considered
that
RIM
has
engaged
multiple
unaffiliated
Money
Managers
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
and
is
responsible
for
paying
fees
to
the
Money
Managers
(“Money
Manager
Fees”)
out
of
the
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
to
RIM
for
its
services
under
the
RIM
Agreement.
A
Money
Manager
may
have
(1)
a
discretionary
asset
management
assignment
pursuant
to
which
it
is
allocated
a
portion
of
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
assets
to
manage
directly
and
for
which
it
selects
and
trades
the
individual
portfolio
securities
for
the
assets
assigned
to
it;
(2)
a
non-discretionary
assignment
pursuant
to
which
it
provides
a
model
portfolio
to
RIM
representing
its
investment
recommendations,
based
upon
which
RIM
purchases
and
sells
securities
for
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund;
or
(3)
both
a
discretionary
and
a
non-discretionary
assignment.
Money
Manager
Fees
for
a
non-discretionary
assignment
may
be
the
same
as,
or
lower
than,
the
fees
would
be
for
a
discretionary
assignment
with
the
same
Money
Manager.
The
Multifactor
U.S.
Equity
Fund,
Multifactor
International
Equity
Fund
and
Long
Duration
Bond
Fund
do
not
employ
a
manager-of-managers
method
of
investment
and
are
instead
managed
only
by
RIM.
The
Board
considered
that
RIM
(rather
than
any
Money
Manager
in
the
case
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds)
is
responsible
under
the
RIM
Agreement
for
determining,
implementing
and
maintaining
the
investment
program
for
each
Fund
and,
in
conducting
each
Fund’s
investment
program,
allocating
assets
of
such
Fund
principally
among
its
Underlying
Funds.
The
assets
of
each
Fund
are
principally
invested
in
different
combinations
of
the
Underlying
Funds
pursuant
to
target
strategic
asset
allocations
set
by
RIM.
RIM
analyzes
opportunities
and
risks
at
the
aggregate
level
of
the
four
main
asset
classes
equities,
fixed
income,
multi-asset
and
alternatives
and
monitors
exposure
to
such
asset
classes
using
analytical
tools
to
seek
to
ensure
that
any
deviations
from
the
target
strategic
asset
allocations
are
intentional
and
tactical.
RIM
periodically
evaluates
each
Fund’s
allocation
between
asset
classes
to
seek
to
ensure
that
the
allocations
optimally
match
the
Fund’s
stated
investment
objectives
and
risk
profile.
RIM
may
modify
the
target
strategic
asset
allocation
for
any
Fund,
including
changes
to
the
Underlying
Funds
in
which
the
Funds
invest
from
time
to
time.
The
overall
performance
of
each
Fund
therefore
has
reflected,
in
part,
the
performance
of
RIM
in
designing
the
investment
program
of
the
Fund
and
in
determining
the
Funds’
target
strategic
asset
allocations.
The
overall
performance
of
each
Fund
also
has
reflected
the
performance
of
RIM
in
managing
its
Underlying
Funds.
Assets
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
are
allocated
among
RIM
and
the
multiple
Money
Manager
strategies
selected
by
RIM
for
that
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
RIM
may
change
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
target
strategic
asset
allocation
to
a
Money
Manager
at
any
time,
including
by
allocating
no
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assets
to
one
or
more
Money
Manager
strategies.
In
addition,
RIM
continues
to
manage
the
investment
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
cash
and
portions
of
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
during
transitions
between
discretionary
Money
Managers.
RIM
also
continues
to
manage
directly
any
portion
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
assets
that
RIM
determines
not
to
allocate
to
Money
Manager
strategies.
Most
Underlying
Funds
usually,
but
not
always,
pursue
a
strategy
of
being
fully
invested
by
exposing
all
or
a
portion
of
their
cash
to
the
performance
of
certain
markets
by
purchasing
equity
securities,
fixed
income
securities
and/or
derivatives.
This
cash
“equitization”
strategy
is
managed
by
RIM
and
is
intended
to
cause
a
Fund
to
perform
as
though
its
cash
were
actually
invested
in
those
specified
markets
or
strategies.
With
respect
to
the
portion
of
a
Manager-
of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
that
RIM
manages
based
upon
non-discretionary
Money
Manager
model
portfolios,
RIM
constructs

a
portfolio
that
represents
the
aggregation
of
the
model
portfolios
based
upon
RIM’s
allocation
to
each
Money
Manager’s
strategy
through
an
“enhanced
portfolio
implementation,”
or
“emulation,”
process
designed
to
capture
return
streams
of
multiple
Money
Managers
in
a
centralized
portfolio.
RIM
then
implements
the
portfolio
consistent
with
the
aggregation
of
the
model
portfolios,
but
may
deviate
from
such
aggregation
for
the
purposes
of
exposure
and
transaction
cost
management.
RIM
stated
its
belief
that
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
benefit
from
emulation
through,
among
other
things,
improved
incremental
returns
over
time
due
to
lower
aggregate
transaction
costs
(including
the
impact
of
lower
trading
volume
on
custody
charges)
and
lower
turnover
from
reduced
trading
volumes,
the
potential
for
additional
commission
recapture,
improved
portfolio
efficiency
and
control
by
enabling
the
implementation
team
more
options
for
controlling
investment
exposures,
managing
cash
flows
and
rebalances
between
Money
Manager
strategies,
and
managing
Money
Manager
transitions.
The
Board
noted
the
variety
and
complexity
of
investment
advisory
services
that
RIM
provides
directly
or,
through
the
Underlying
Funds,
indirectly
to
the
Funds
under
the
RIM
Agreement.
In
the
case
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
RIM
is
responsible
for
selecting
(subject
to
Board
approval),
overseeing
and
evaluating
the
performance
results
of
the
Money
Managers
for
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
and
for
actively
managing
allocations
and
reallocations
of
its
assets
among
Money
Manager
strategies
and
RIM
itself.
Each
discretionary
Money
Manager
for
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
in
effect
performs
the
function
of
an
individual
portfolio
manager
who
is
responsible
for
researching,
selecting
and
trading
portfolio
securities
for
the
portion
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assigned
to
it
by
RIM
in
accordance
with
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
applicable
investment
objective,
policies
and
restrictions,
any
specific
guidelines
placed
by
RIM
upon
their
selection
of
portfolio
securities,
and
the
Money
Manager’s
specified
role
in
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
A
Money
Manager’s
primary
role
is
to
pursue
a
particular
investment
strategy
that
has
been
selected
and
assigned
to
it
by
RIM
through
sector
and
security
selection
and
risk
control
measures
in
a
manner
that
is
consistent
with
its
RIM-assigned
guidelines.
The
Money
Managers
operate
subject
to
the
oversight
of,
and
instructions
from,
RIM.
For
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund,
RIM
is
responsible
for,
among
other
things,
providing
each
Money
Manager
with
the
investment
guidelines
and
policies
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
and
any
specific
investment
restrictions;
monitoring
the
performance
of
each
Money
Manager
and
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund;
generally
supervising
compliance
by
the
discretionary
Money
Managers
and,
as
applicable,
the
non-discretionary
Money
Managers
with
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
investment
objective
and
policies;
with
respect
to
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
with
non-discretionary
Money
Managers,
purchasing
and
selling
securities
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
based
on
model
portfolios
representing
the
investment
recommendations
of
the
non-discretionary
Money
Managers;
managing
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assets
that
are
not
allocated
to
Money
Manager
strategies;
managing
the
Manager-of-
Managers
Underlying
Funds’
cash
balances;
and
recommending
at
least
annually
to
the
Board
whether
portfolio
management
contracts
should
be
renewed,
modified
or
terminated.
In
addition
to
its
annual
recommendation
as
to
the
renewal,
modification
or
termination
of
portfolio
management
contracts,
RIM
is
responsible
for
recommending
to
the
Board
additions
of
new
Money
Managers,
or
terminations
or
replacements
of
existing
Money
Managers
at
any
time
when,
based
on
RIM’s
research
and
ongoing
review
and
analysis,
such
actions
are,
in
RIM’s
judgment,
appropriate.
RIM
provides
each
Money
Manager
with
specific
investment
guidelines
based
on
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
investment
program
and
RIM’s
assessment
of
the
Money
Manager’s
expertise
and
investment
style
whereby
RIM
attempts
to
capitalize
on
the
strengths
of
each
Money
Manager
and
to
combine
the
investment
activities
of
Money
Managers
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
in
a
complementary
fashion.
Therefore,
RIM’s
selection
of
Money
Managers
for
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
is
made
not
only
on
the
basis
of
performance
considerations
but
also
on
the
basis
of
other
factors,
including
anticipated
compatibility
with
other
Money
Managers
in
the
same
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
In
light
of
the
foregoing,
the
overall
performance
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
has
reflected,
in
great
part,
the
performance
of
RIM
in
designing
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
investment
program,
structuring
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund,
selecting
effective
Money
Managers,
and
allocating
assets
among
the
Money
Manager
strategies
and
RIM
in
a
manner
designed
to
achieve
the
investment
objectives
of
the
Manager-
of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
In
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
RIM
noted
the
broad
array
of
investment
management
services
provided
to
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
by
RIM
and
the
relatively
narrow
scope
of
portfolio
management
services
provided
to
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
by
Money
Managers.
RIM
has
advised
the
Board
that
its
portfolio
construction
process
is
investment
led
and
designed
to
be
conducted
in
a
manner
that
is
consistent
with
its
fiduciary
duties.
The
objective
of
RIM’s
portfolio
construction
is
to
meet
a
portfolio’s
investment
objective
and
established
excess
return
target.
In
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
RIM
noted
that
while
it
has
general
goals
for
Money
Manager
Fees
in
the
aggregate
globally,
there
are
no
specific
fee
targets
that
are
established
for
individual
portfolios,
which
includes
each
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds.
In
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
RIM
advised
the
Board
that
Money
Manager
Fees,
in
the
aggregate,
must
allow
RIM
to
remain
a
going
concern
with
sufficient
resources
to
provide

services
to
the
Funds
and
to
earn
a
reasonable
profit.
RIM
advised
the
Board
that
RIM
portfolio
managers
utilize
a
number
of
tools
in
the
portfolio
construction
process
in
order
to
meet
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
objective
taking
into
account
Money
Manager
Fees.
These
tools
include,
among
others,
Money
Manager
selection,
Money
Manager
allocation,
Money
Manager
Fee
negotiations,
guideline
customization
and
RIM’s
direct
management
of
a
portion
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds’
assets
(as
further
described
below).
The
Board
considered
that
the
prospectuses
for
the
Funds
and
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
and
other
public
disclosures
have
emphasized,
and
continue
to
emphasize,
to
investors
RIM’s
role
as
the
principal
investment
manager
for
each
such
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund,
rather
than
the
investment
selection
or
recommendation
role
of
the
Money
Managers,
and
describe
the
manner
in
which
the
Funds
or
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
operate.
The
Board
further
considered
that
Fund
investors
in
pursuing
their
investment
goals
and
objectives
likely
purchased
their
shares
on
the
basis
of
this
information
and
RIM’s
reputation
and
experience
in
managing
the
structure
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds.
The
Board
also
considered
the
demands
and
complexity
of
managing
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
pursuant
to
the
manager-of-managers
structure,
the
special
expertise
of
RIM
with
respect
to
the
manager-of-managers
structure
of
the
Manager-of-
Managers
Underlying
Funds
and
the
possibility
that,
at
the
current
expense
ratio
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund,
there
might
be
no
acceptable
alternative
investment
managers
to
replace
RIM
on
comparable
terms
given
the
need
to
continue
the
manager-of-managers
strategy
of
such
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
In
addition
to
these
general
factors
relating
to
the
structure
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
the
Trustees
considered,
with
respect
to
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund,
various
specific
factors
in
evaluating
the
renewal
of
the
RIM
Agreement,
including
the
following:
1.
The
nature,
scope
and
overall
quality
of
the
investment
management
and
other
services
provided,
and
expected
to
be
provided,
to
the
Fund
or
the
Underlying
Fund
by
RIM;
2.
The
advisory
fee
paid
by
the
Fund
or
the
Underlying
Fund
to
RIM
for
its
services
under
the
RIM
Agreement
(the
“Advisory
Fee”),
and,
in
the
case
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
the
fact
that
RIM
pays
all
Money
Manager
Fees
out
of
its
Advisory
Fee;
3.
The
combined
Advisory
Fee
paid
to
RIM
and
the
administrative
fee
paid
to
RIM’s
wholly
owned
subsidiary
for
administrative
services
(the
“Administrative
Fee,”
and
together
with
the
Advisory
Fee,
the
“Management
Fee”);
4.
The
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
relative
to
their
respective
benchmark
indices
and
Comparable
Funds;
5.
Information

to

in
which
the

and
which

the

certain

The
Board
also
discussed
the
Funds’
compliance
program
with
the
Funds’
Chief
Compliance
Officer
(“CCO”),
including
certain
items
reported
in
the
annual
report
of
the
CCO
required
under
Rule
38a-1
of
the
1940
Act
(the
“Annual
CCO
Report”).
The
Annual
CCO
Report
included
the
status
of
projects,
initiatives
and
enhancements
in
the
past
year
related
to
the
compliance
program
that
the
CCO
identified
in
connection
with
last
year’s
Annual
CCO
Report.
The
Annual
CCO
Report
also
included
information
on
the
resources
of
the
compliance
program
and
the
status
of
various
compliance,
operations
and
technology
initiatives
previously
discussed
with
the
Board.
The
CCO
and
Russell
Investments’
Global
Chief
Compliance
Officer
discussed
with
the
Board,
and
the
Board
noted,
certain
enhancements
made
to
the
compliance
programs
of
RIM
and
the
Funds
over
the
past
year
and
suggestions
for
additional
enhancements
going
forward,
certain
staffing
changes
and
areas
of
focus
for
the
upcoming
year.
The
CCO
advised
the
Board
that
the
Funds
and
RIM,
with
respect
to
the
services
RIM
provides
to
the
Funds,
have
each
adopted
and
effectively
implemented
written
policies
and
procedures
that
are
reasonably
designed
to
prevent
violation
of
the
Federal
Securities
Laws
(as
such
term
is
defined
in
the
1940
Act).
RIM
is
an
indirect
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
Russell
Investments
Group,
Ltd.,
through
which
the
limited
partners
of
certain
private
equity
funds
affiliated
with
TA
Associates
indirectly
have
a
majority
ownership
interest
through
alternative
investment
vehicles
and
the
limited
partners
of
certain
private
equity
funds
affiliated
with
Reverence
Capital
Partners,
L.P.
(“Reverence
Capital”)
indirectly
have
a
significant
minority
controlling
ownership
interest
(as
“control”
is
defined
in
the
1940
Act)
through
certain
Reverence
Capital
funds
and
alternative
investment
vehicles
in
RIM
and
its
affiliates
(“Russell
Investments”).
Certain
of
Russell
Investments’
employees
and
Hamilton
Lane
Advisors,
LLC
also
hold
minority,
non-controlling
positions
in
Russell
Investments.
In
connection
with
the
Board’s
initial
approval
of
the
RIM
Agreement
in
2015,
TA
Associates
advised
the
Board
of
its
plans
ultimately
to
effect
a
sale
or
other
disposition
of
its
ownership
interest
in
Russell
Investments.
Any
such
future
transaction
(“Transaction”)
could
cause
a
change
of
control
of
RIM
resulting,
among
other
things,
in
an
assignment
and
termination
of
the
RIM
Agreement,
as
required
by
the
1940
Act
and
by
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
RIM
Agreement.
In
the
event
of
a
Transaction,
the
Board
would
be
required
to
consider
the
approval
of
the
terms
and
conditions
of
a
replacement
agreement
(“Successor
Agreement”)
for
the
RIM
Agreement
and,
thereafter,
to
submit
the
Successor
Agreement
to
each
Fund’s
shareholders
for
approval,
as
required
by
the
1940
Act.
During
the
executive
session
with
a
representative
of
TA
Associates
held
in
connection
with
the
Agreement
Information
Review
Meeting,
among
other
things,
the
status
of
TA
Associates’
indirect
investment
in
RIM
and
RIM’s
access
to
sufficient
resources
to
support
its
activities
in
respect
of
the
Funds,
including
in
light
of
the
current
market
environment,
current
debt
levels,
capital
structure
and
liquidity
of
Russell
Investments
Group,
Ltd.,
and
the
impact
of
certain
changes
in
Russell
Investments’
senior
management
were
discussed.
The
Board
was
not
advised
of
any
change
in
TA
Associates’
ultimate
plans
regarding
its
ownership
interest
in
Russell
Investments.
The
Board
was
advised
of
TA
Associates’
commitment
to
continue
to
support
the
same
level
of
services
currently
being
provided
by
RIM
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Funds.
As
noted
above,
RIM,
in
addition
to
managing
the
investment
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund’s
cash,
directly
manages
a
portion
(which
may
represent
a
significant
portion)
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
pursuant
to
the
RIM
Agreement,
with
the
actual
allocation
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assets
among
Money
Manager
strategies
and
RIM
being
determined
from
time
to
time
by
the
RIM
portfolio
manager(s).
RIM
may
utilize
tools
such
as
“optimization,”
which
involves
the
analysis
of
tradeoffs
between
various
risk
and
return
factors
as
well
as
turnover
and
transaction
costs,
in
order
to
estimate
optimal
portfolio
positioning.
RIM
may
use
strategies
based
on
indexes,
including
optimized
index
sampling
(strategies
that
seek
to
purchase
a
sampling
of
securities
using
optimization
and
risk
models)
and/or
index
replication.
For
certain
Underlying
Funds,
RIM
may
invest
in
derivative
instruments
and
may
use
derivatives
to
take
both
long
and
short
positions.
RIM’s
direct
management
of
assets
for
these
purposes
is
hereinafter
referred
to
as
the
“Direct
Management
Services.”
While
no
new
direct
management
strategies
were
implemented
in
2024,
the
Board
has
been
advised
that,
where
appropriate
in
its
judgment,
RIM
may
continue
exploring
the
possible
addition
of
new
or
expansion
of
existing
Direct
Management
Services.
Therefore,
larger
portions
of
certain
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
may
be
managed
directly
by
RIM
pursuant
to
the
Direct
Management
Services.
According
to
RIM,
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
its
portfolio
managers
combine
Money
Manager
strategies
and,
through
RIM’s
Direct
Management
Services,
align
exposures
with
RIM’s
preferred
positioning
by
seeking
to
precisely
manage
portfolio
exposures
as
well
as
to
generate
alpha
as
they
construct
portfolios.
RIM’s
Direct
Management
Services
are
customized
portfolios
directly
managed
by
RIM
for
use
within
the
total
portfolio
of
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund.
RIM’s
Direct
Management
Services
are
used
in
conjunction
with
allocations
to
Money
Manager
strategies
to
fully
reflect
RIM’s
strategic
and
dynamic
insights
with
integrated
liquidity
and
risk
management.

The
Board
considered
that
RIM
is
not
required
to
pay
Money
Manager
Fees
to
any
Money
Managers
with
respect
to
assets
for
which
it
provides
Direct
Management
Services
and
that
the
profits
derived
by
RIM
generally
and
from
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
consequently
may
be
increased,
although
RIM
noted
that
it
incurs
additional
costs
in
providing
Direct
Management
Services.
RIM
advised
the
Board
that
allocations,
or
increased
allocations,
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assets
to
Direct
Management
Services,
together
with
Money
Manager
selection,
allocations
among
Money
Manager
strategies,
renegotiation
of
Money
Manager
Fees
and
changes
in
existing
Money
Manager
assignments
from
discretionary
to
non-discretionary
assignments
where
there
is
a
related
Money
Manager
Fee
reduction
may
reduce
its
costs
of
providing
investment
advisory
services
to
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
which
would
benefit
RIM.
The
Board
considered
RIM’s
advice
that
any
such
benefit,
including
any
increased
profits
to
RIM,
ultimately
may
be
partially
offset
by
the
impact
of
any
new
or
additional
fee
waivers
or
expense
caps
separately
agreed
upon
and
implemented
from
time
to
time
for
the
affected
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
and
any
costs
of
incremental
investments
or
increased
cost
allocations
that
RIM
may
incur
to
support
Direct
Management
Services.
The
Board
also
considered
information
provided
by
RIM
as
to
the
potential
benefits
of
the
Direct
Management
Services
to
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
and
the
fact
that
the
aggregate
Advisory
Fees
paid
by
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
are
not
increased
as
a
result
of
RIM’s
direct
management
of
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
assets
as
part
of
the
Direct
Management
Services
or
otherwise.
The
Board
noted
that
changes
in
the
allocation
of
assets
among
Money
Manager
strategies,
to
Direct
Management
Services
or
in
connection
with
asset
allocation
programs
offered
by
RIM,
as
well
as
changes
in
the
allocation
of
Fund
assets
among
the
Underlying
Funds,
may
result
directly
in
higher
related
costs
to
affected
Underlying
Funds,
including
higher
brokerage
commissions
and
other
transaction
costs,
a
portion
of
which
is
paid
to
RIM’s
affiliated
broker
in
connection
with
execution
of
portfolio
transactions
in
connection
with
such
changes.
RIM
advised
the
Board
that,
in
order
to
preserve
flexibility
and
to
manage
risks,
and
consistent
with
the
terms
of
the
manager-of-
managers
exemptive
order,
in
2019,
RIM
created
Money
Manager
“bench”
lineups
for
certain
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
whereby
those
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
have
Board-approved
portfolio
management
contracts
with
Money
Managers
that
are
not
funded
(i.e.,
have
an
asset
allocation
of
zero).
In
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
RIM
advised
the
Board
that
the
opportunity
to
decrease
a
Money
Manager’s
allocation
to
zero,
but
not
terminate
the
Money
Manager,
allows
RIM
to
potentially
realize
gains
from
strategies
that
may
have
been
overly
rewarded
in
the
marketplace
over
the
short
to
medium
term,
or
provide
the
opportunity
to
retain
capacity
with
a
Money
Manager
that
may
otherwise
be
closed
to
new
business.
The
Board
noted
that
RIM
does
not
believe
there
are
any
detriments
to
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
or
RIM
from
the
use
of
a
Money
Manager
bench.
RIM
has
advised
the
Board
that
RIM
may
add
Money
Managers
to,
or
remove
Money
Managers
from,
a
Money
Manager
bench
lineup
for
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
or
create
Money
Manager
bench
lineups
for
additional
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds.
The
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
outlined
various
changes
that
have
been
implemented
in
the
investment
program
for
the
Funds
and
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
in
recent
years
and
described
additional
changes
that
have
been
implemented
or
are
underway,
and
the
impact
of
such
changes,
to
the
investment
advisory
services
provided
to
the
Underlying
Funds
by
RIM,
which
the
Trustees
took
into
account
in
their
contract
renewal
deliberations,
including
the
following:
The
Direct
Management
Services
described
above.
Most
discretionary
Money
Manager
equity
assignments
for
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
were
previously
converted
to
non-discretionary
assignments,
thereby
implementing
emulation
for
those
Money
Manager
equity
assignments.
The
Board
considered
the
potential
impacts
described
in
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
both
positive
and
negative,
on
the
Manager-
of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
of
emulation.
RIM
noted
that,
in
implementing
emulation
for
most
equity
assignments
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
it
assumes
various
additional
risks,
including
trade
error
risk
as
it
takes
over
responsibility
for
trading.
RIM
generally
effects
Underlying
Fund
equity
portfolio
transactions
through
an
affiliated
broker
that
receives
a
portion
of
the
commissions
paid
by
the
Funds
for
effecting
some
of
these
transactions.
For
such
equity
transactions,
the
Underlying
Funds
pay
RIM’s
affiliated
broker
dealer
commission
rates
that
are
determined
by
an
oversight
committee
of
RIM.
According
to
RIM,
the
Underlying
Funds
pay
the
same
commission
rates
regardless
of
whether
the
affiliated
broker
dealer
receives
any
portion
of
the
commission.
RIM
noted
certain
enhancements
in
recent
years
to
the
emulation
process
for
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
including
increasing
the
frequency
of
receipt
of
certain
Money
Manager
model
portfolios,
the
utilization
of
a
risk-based
portfolio
dashboard
and
model
liquidity
monitoring.
While
RIM
generally
implements
Money
Manager
equity
strategies
via
emulation,

has
determined
and
may
determine
that
certain
Money
Manager
equity
strategies
should
be
implemented
by
Money
Managers
on
a
discretionary
basis.
RIM
has
renegotiated
fees
with
certain
Money
Managers
to
lower
levels
and
advised
the
Board
that
it
will
continue
to
assess
opportunities
for
Money

Fee
reductions
in
the
future.
RIM
advised
the
Board
that
it
has
not
experienced,
and
does
not
expect
to
experience,
any
diminution
in
the
nature,
scope
or
quality
of
services
provided
by
Money
Managers
as
a
result
of
renegotiated
Money

Fees.

allocation
of

to

and
RIM’s

class
exposures.
In
evaluating
the
Funds’
and
Underlying
Funds’
Advisory
Fees
and
Management
Fees,
the
Board
considered
that,
in
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
and
at
past
meetings,
RIM
noted
differences
between
the
investment
strategies
of
certain
Underlying
Funds
and
their
respective
Comparable
Funds
in
pursuing
their
investment
objectives.
The
Board
considered
that,
effective
March
1,
2024,
the
contractual
advisory
fee
rates
were
reduced
for
the
Funds
and
certain
Underlying
Funds
for
which
RIM
was
consistently
waiving
advisory
fees
or
reimbursing
Fund
expenses
under
an
expense
cap,
and
new
waivers
and/or
expense
caps
for
the
Funds
and
certain
Underlying
Funds
were
implemented
upon
the
expiration
of
the
prior
waivers
and/or
expense
caps.
To
assist
the
Board’s
evaluation
of
the
Advisory
Fees,
Management
Fees
and
total
expenses
of
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds,
RIM
provided
comparisons
and
discussion
of
the
Management
Fees
and
total
expenses
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
on
an
adjusted
basis
to
reflect
the
annualized
impact
of
changes
to
contractual
Advisory
Fees
and
Advisory
Fee
waivers
and
expense
caps,
as
applicable,
that
were
implemented
in
2024
relative
to
the
management
fees
and
total
expenses
of
such
Fund’s
Comparable
Funds
included
in
the
Third-Party
Information
(the
“Annualized
Information”).
The
Annualized
Information
included,
among
other
things,
comparisons
of
the
Funds’
Management
Fees
with
the
management
fees
of
their
Comparable
Funds
on
an
actual
basis
(i.e.,
giving
effect
to
any
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
caps
implemented
by
RIM
with
respect
to
a
Fund
and
by
the
managers
of
such
Fund’s
Comparable
Funds).
The
Annualized
Information
showed,
among
other
things,
that
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund
had
a
Management
Fee
which,
compared
with
the
management
fees
of
its
Comparable
Funds
on
an
annualized
basis,
was
ranked
in
the
fourth
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe
for
that
expense
component.
The
Management
Fees
for
each
of
the
other
Funds
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe,
or
better.
In
these
rankings,
the
first
quintile
represents
funds
with
the
lowest
management
fees
among
funds
in
the
Expense
Universe,
and
the
fifth
quintile
represents
funds
with
the
highest
management
fees
among
funds
in
the
Expense
Universe.
The
comparisons
were
based
upon
the
latest
fiscal
years
for
the
Expense
Universe
funds
and
the
Annualized
Information.
In
discussing
the
Management
Fees
for
the
Underlying
Funds
generally,
RIM
noted,
among
other
things,
that
its
Management
Fees
for
the
Underlying
Funds
encompass
services
that
are
typical
to
services
provided
by
investment
advisers
to
the
Underlying
Funds’
Comparable
Funds,
as
well
as
transition
management
services
that
enable
efficient
and
cost-effective
asset
transition
events
and
the
administration
of
a
cash
equitization
program.
RIM
also
advised
the
Board
that
its
pre-tax
profit
margin
from
its
relationships
with
the
Funds
and
Underlying
Funds
increased
slightly
in
2024,
and
RIM’s
2024
pre-tax
profit
margin
in
providing
investment
advisory
services
to
the
Funds
is
higher
than
the
median
of

based
on
a
survey
conducted
as
of
September
30,
2024
reflecting
the
prior
12
months.
The
Board
considered
each

and
Underlying

Advisory

and
Management
Fee
on
both
a
standalone
basis
and
in
the
context
of
the

total

ratio.
The
Board
also
considers
the
various
expense
components,
other
than
the
Advisory
Fee
and
Management
Fee,
that
comprise
each
Fund’s
total

ratio,
and
the
extent
to
which
such
expense
components
contribute
to
each

The

has
engaged,
and
continues
to
engage,
in
discussions
with

to
identify
opportunities,
where
appropriate,
for
improving
the
Advisory

relative
to

At
the
Agreement
Information
Review
Meeting
and
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
and
discussed
with
RIM
the
Management
Fees
and
total
expense
ratios
of
the
Underlying
Funds
relative
to
their
respective
Comparable
Funds,
including
the
fee
waivers
or
expense
caps
RIM
had
previously
implemented
and
agreed
to
implement
in
the
future
to
reduce
Management
Fees
and/or
total
expenses
for
certain
Underlying
Funds,
and
the
Underlying
Funds’
Comparable
Fund
fee
and
expense
trending
year-
over-year.
In
addition,
the
Board,
in
the
case
of
certain
Underlying
Funds,
considered
Advisory
Fee
breakpoints
that
previously
had
been
implemented
for
those
Underlying
Funds.
Based
on
those
reviews
and
discussions
with
RIM,
including
discussions
with
RIM
regarding
the
reasonableness
of
various
components
of
certain
Underlying
Funds’
total
expense
ratio
other
than
its
Management
Fee,
the
Independent
Trustees
will
continue
to
evaluate
and
engage
in
ongoing
discussions
with
management
regarding
Management
Fee
and
total
expense
comparisons
of
the
Underlying
Funds.
With
respect
to
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund,
the
Board
considered
the
Advisory
Fee
waivers
that
RIM
previously
had
agreed
to
implement
and
that,
after
considering
requests
from
the
Independent
Trustees,
RIM
agreed
to
implement
additional
Advisory
Fee
waivers
for
the
Fund
in
the
future.
The
Board
noted
that,
while
in
effect,
the
Advisory
Fee
waivers
would
have
a
beneficial
effect
on
comparisons
of
the
Fund’s
Management
Fee
relative
to
the
management
fees
of
its
Comparable
Funds.
The
Board
further
considered
that
the
Fund’s
total
expenses
had
a
small
variance
to
the
third
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe.
With
respect
to
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund,
RIM
expressed
its
belief
that
the
Fund’s
Management
Fee
was
fair
and
reasonable
notwithstanding
the
Annualized
Information
comparisons,
based
on,
and
as
discussed
in,
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information.
Based
upon
information
provided
by
RIM,
the
Board
considered
for
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
whether
economies
of
scale
have
been
realized
and
whether
the
Advisory
Fee
for
such
Fund
or
Underlying
Fund
appropriately
reflects
or
should
be
revised
to
reflect
any
such
economies.
The
Board
considered,
among
other
things,
the
variability
of
Money
Manager
Fees
and
other
factors
associated
with
the
manager-of-managers
structure
employed
by
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
as
well
as
net
Fund
redemptions
or
purchases
in
recent
years.
The
Board
also
considered
that
the
advisory
fee
rates
payable
to
RIM
by
Other
RIM
Funds
and
fee
rates
payable
to
RIM
or
its
affiliates
by
other
registered
investment
companies
and
by
institutional
clients
with
investment
objectives
similar
to
those
of
the
Funds
in
some
cases
are
lower
than
the
advisory
fee
rates
paid
by
the
Funds
(including
indirect
expenses
of
investing
in
Underlying
Funds).
The
Trustees
considered
RIM’s
explanation
that
the
advisory
fees
payable
to
RIM
by
the
Funds
and
the
Other
RIM
Funds
reflect,
among
other
things,
differences
in
the
type
of
product,
distribution
channel
and
investors.
The
Trustees
also
considered
the
differences
in
the
nature
and
scope
of
services
RIM
provides
to
other
registered
investment
companies
and
institutional
clients
relative
to
those
provided
to
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds.
With
respect
to
institutional
clients,
RIM
explained,
among
other
things,
that
institutional
products
have
fewer
compliance,
administrative,
client
servicing/communication
and
other
needs
than
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds.
RIM
also
noted
that
due
to
the
number
and
nature
of
investors,
along
with
their
varied
needs
for
liquidity,
there
is
more
portfolio
liquidity
management
and
cash
flow
management
required
for
the
Underlying
Funds
than
for
RIM’s
and
its
affiliates’
institutional
clients,
where
assets
are
relatively
stable.
In
addition,
RIM
noted
that
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
are
subject
to
heightened
regulatory
requirements
relative
to
institutional
clients.
Accordingly,
the
Trustees
concluded
that
the
services
provided
to
the
Funds
and
Underlying
Funds
are
sufficiently
different
from
the
services
provided
to
such
institutional
clients
that
comparisons
are
not
probative
and
should
not
be
given
significant
weight.
With
respect
to
the
Funds’
total
expenses,
the
Annualized
Information
showed
that
the
total
direct
expenses
(i.e.,
not
including
indirect
expenses
of
the
Underlying
Funds)
for
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund,
Aggressive
Strategy
Fund
and
Equity
Aggressive
Strategy
Fund
each
ranked
in
the
fourth
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe.
The
total
expenses
for
each
of
the
other
Funds,
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe,
or
better.
In
these
rankings,
the
first
quintile
represents
the
funds
with
the
lowest
total
expenses
among
funds
in
the
Expense
Universe
and
the
fifth
quintile
represents
funds
with
the
highest
total
expenses
among
the
Expense
Universe
funds.
With
respect
to
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund,
Aggressive
Strategy
Fund
and
Equity
Aggressive
Strategy
Fund,
RIM
expressed
its
belief
that
each
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
was
fair
and
reasonable
notwithstanding
the
Annualized
Information
comparisons,
based
on,
and
as
discussed
in,
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information.
With
respect
to
the
Balanced

the
Board
considered
the
Advisory
Fee
waivers
that
RIM
previously
had
agreed
to
implement
and
that,
after
considering
requests
from
the
Independent
Trustees,
RIM
agreed
to
implement
additional
Advisory
Fee
waivers
for
the
Fund.
The
Board
noted
that,
while
in
effect,
the
Advisory
Fee
waivers
would
have
a
beneficial
effect
on
comparisons

relative

The

further
considered
that
the
Fund’s
total
expenses
had
a
small
variance
to
the
third
quintile
of
its
Expense
Universe.
With
respect
to
the
Aggressive

Fund
and
the
Equity

Fund,
the
Board
considered
that
each
Fund’s
total
expenses
had
a
small
variance
to
the
third
quintile
of
its
respective

Universe.
The
Board
further
considered
that
each

ranked
in
the
third

of
its

Universe.
On
the
basis
of
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
and
other
information
previously
received
by
the
Board
from
RIM
during
the
course
of
the
year
and
prior
years,
or
presented
at
or
in
connection
with
the
Agreement
Information
Review
Meeting
and
Agreement
Evaluation
Meeting
by
RIM
and
its
affiliates,
the
Board,
in
respect
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund,
after
giving
effect
to
any
applicable
fee
waivers
and/or
expense
caps
for
the
Underlying
Funds,
and
considering
any
differences
in
the
investment
strategies
of
its
respective
Comparable
Funds
and
in
light
of
other
factors
discussed
above:
(1)
found
that
the
Advisory
Fee
and
Administrative
Fee
were
acceptable
in
light
of
the
nature,
scope
and
overall
quality
of
the
investment
advisory
and
other
services
provided,
and
expected
to
be
provided,
to
the
Fund
or
Underlying
Fund
and
to
provide
continuity
of
investment
advisory
and
other
services
by
RIM
and
its
affiliates
to
the
Fund
or
Underlying
Fund;
(2)
either
found
that
the
relative
expense
ratio
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
was
comparable
to
those
of
its
Comparable
Funds
or
took
into
account
the
factors
noted
above,
and
other
factors
in
respect
of
the
Underlying
Funds,
in
considering
the
relative
expense
ratio
as
compared
to
those
of
its
Comparable
Funds;
(3)
found
that
the
other
benefits
and
fees
received
by
RIM
or
its
affiliates
from
the
Fund
or
Underlying
Fund
identified
in
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
were
not
considered
to
be
excessive;
(4)
found
that
RIM’s
reported
profitability
with
respect
to
the
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
was
not
considered
to
be
excessive
in
light
of
the
nature,
scope
and
overall
quality
of
the
investment
management
and
other
services
provided
by
RIM
and
applicable
judicial
and
regulatory
guidance;
and
(5)
found
that
the
Advisory
Fee
charged
by
RIM
appropriately
reflects
any
economies
of
scale
realized
by
such
Fund
or
Underlying
Fund
in
light
of
various
factors,
including
the
Advisory
Fee
breakpoints
that
are
in
place
for
certain
Underlying
Funds;
in
the
case
of
Manager-of
Managers
Underlying
Funds,
the
variability
of
Money
Manager
Fees
and
other
factors
associated
with
the
manager-of-managers
structure;
and
RIM’s
advice
that
it
does
not
believe
it
will
experience
meaningful
economies
of
scale.
The
Board
concluded
that,
under
the
circumstances
and
based
on
RIM’s
performance
information
and
reviews
for
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund,
the
performance
of
each
of
the
Funds
and
Underlying
Funds
supported
the
continuation
of
the
RIM
Agreement.
In
assessing
the
performance
of
the
Funds
and
the
Underlying
Funds
with
at
least
three
years
of
performance
history,
the
Board
focused
on
each
Fund’s
performance
for
the
3-year
period
ended
December
31,
2024
as
most
relevant,
but
also
considered
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
performance
for
the
1-year
and,
where
applicable,
5-year
periods
ended
on
such
date.
In
reviewing
the
performance
of
the
Funds
and
Underlying
Funds
generally,
the
Board
took
into
consideration
various
steps
taken
by
RIM
in
the
past
few
years
to
enhance
the
performance
of
certain
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
including
changes
in
Money
Managers
or
their
allocations,
changes
to
investment
strategies,
and
RIM’s
implementation
or
expansion
of
its
Direct
Management
Services
and
other
strategies,
which
may
not
yet
be
fully
reflected
in
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
investment
results.
With
respect
to
the
Conservative
Strategy
Fund
(Class
S),
the
Third-Party
Information
showed
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
ranked
in
the
fifth
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
each
of
the
1-,
3-
and
5-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2024.
With
respect
to
the
Moderate
Strategy
Fund
(Class
S),
the
Third-Party
Information
showed
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
ranked
in
the
fourth
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
the
3-year
period
ended
December
31,
2024,
and
was
ranked
in
third
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
the
1-year
period
and
the
fifth
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
the
5-year
period
ended
on
such
date.
With
respect
to
the
Balanced
Strategy
Fund
(Class
S),
the
Third-Party
Information
showed
that
the
Fund’s
performance
was
ranked
in
the
fourth
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
each
of
the
1-
and
3-year
periods
ended
December
31,
2024,
and
was
ranked
in
the
fifth
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
for
the
5-year
period
ended
on
such
date.
The
performance
of
each
of
the
other
Funds
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
of
its
Performance
Universe
or
better
for
the
3-year
period
ended
December
31,
2024.
The
Board
considered
RIM’s
explanation
that
the
underperformance
of
the
Conservative
Strategy
Fund,
Moderate
Strategy
Fund
and
Balanced
Strategy
Fund
relative
to
their
respective
Comparable
Funds
for
the
3-year
period
was
driven
by
a
combination
of
asset
allocation
differences
and
active
performance
of
the
Underlying
Funds.
RIM
noted,
among
other
things,
that
the
Funds
are
designed
to
be
broadly
diversified
across
asset
classes
to
harvest
diversification
benefits
and
improve
risk-adjusted
performance

over

horizon,
and
that
over
the
3-year
period,
some
of
these
diversified
exposures
have
not
been
accretive
to
the
Funds’
performance
relative
to
peers.
RIM
further
noted
that,
incrementally,
several
of
the
Underlying
Funds
underperformed
their
respective
benchmarks
and
contributed
to
the
underperformance
of
the
Funds.
RIM
also
noted
that
the
Funds’
target
strategic
asset
allocations
were
modified
in
2023,
with
the
objective
of
improving
return
potential
given
the
current
capital
markets
environment
and
capital
markets
forecasts,
and
the
Funds’
target
strategic
asset
allocations
also
were
modified
in
2025.
In
evaluating
performance,
the
Board
considered
each
Fund’s
and
Underlying
Fund’s
performance
not
only
relative
to
its
Comparable
Funds,
but
also
in
absolute
terms
and
relative
to
appropriate
benchmarks
and
indices.
The
Board
considered
the
Manager-of-
Managers
Underlying
Funds’
performance
relative
to
their
primary
or
secondary
benchmarks,
whichever
RIM
uses
to
assess
Fund
performance,
in
light
of
RIM’s
advice
that
its
investment
philosophy
and
process
seek
to
combine
investment
managers
to
produce
benchmark-beating
returns
with
above-average
consistency.
Among

for
the

the

The
Board
also
considered
the
Money
Manager
changes
that
have
been
made
during
the
past
year
and
that
the
performance
of
Money
Managers
continues
to
impact
the
performance
of
the
Funds
and
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds
for
periods
prior
and
subsequent
to
their
termination.
Further,
the
Board
considered
the
implementation
of
additional
strategies
or
refinements
to
strategies
discussed
in
the
Agreement
Evaluation
Information
and/or
prior
Board
meetings
that
have
been
and
may
be
employed
by
RIM
in
respect
of
certain
Underlying
Funds.
After
considering
the
foregoing
and
other
relevant
factors,
including
factors
described
above,
the
Board
concluded
in
respect
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund
that
continuation
of
the
RIM
Agreement
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
such
Fund
and
its
shareholders
and
voted
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
RIM
Agreement.
At

and

with
respect
to
the
evaluation
of
the
terms
of
portfolio
management
contracts
with
Money
Managers
for
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
the
Board
received
and
considered
information
from
RIM
reporting,
among
other
things,
for
each
Money
Manager,
the
Money
Manager’s
performance
over
various
periods;
RIM’s
assessment
of
the
performance
of
each
Money

business
relationships
between
the
Money

and

on
the
current
terms
and
conditions,
including
at
the

course
of
the

from
the

regarding
her

or
their
affiliates
other
than
potential
benefits
from
soft
dollar
arrangements
or
commissions
paid
to
any
affiliated
broker-dealer
through
which
a
discretionary
Money
Manager
may
execute
trades.
RIM
recommended
that
each
of
the
Money
Managers
be
retained
for
its
current
discretionary
or
non-discretionary
assignment
at
its
current
fee
rate.
In
doing
so,
RIM,
as
it
has
in
the
past,
advised
the
Board
that
it
does
not
regard
Money
Manager
profitability
or
economies
of
scale
as
relevant
to
its
evaluation
of
the
portfolio
management
contracts
with
Money
Managers
because
the
willingness
of
Money
Managers
to
serve
in
such
capacity
depends
upon
arm’s-length
negotiations
with
RIM;
RIM
is
aware
of
the
standard
fee
rates
charged
by
Money
Managers
to
other
clients;
and
RIM
believes
that
the
fees
agreed
upon
with
Money
Managers
are
reasonable
and
appropriate
in
light
of
the
anticipated
quality
of
investment
advisory
services
to
be
rendered.
The
Board
accepted
RIM’s
explanation
of
the
relevance
of
Money
Manager
profitability
in
light
of
RIM’s
belief
that
such
fees
are
reasonable;
the
Board’s
findings
as
to
the
acceptability
of
the
Advisory
Fee
paid
by
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund;
and
the
fact
that
each
Money
Manager’s
fee
is
paid
by
RIM.
Based
upon
RIM’s
recommendations,
together
with
relevant
Agreement
Evaluation
Information,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
fees
paid
to
the
Money
Managers
of
each
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
are
acceptable
in
light
of
RIM’s
assessment
of
the
Russell

Company

provided
and
that
continuation
of

contract
with

of

would
be
in

This
discussion
is
not
intended
to
include
all
of
the
factors
and
information
considered
by
the
Board.
In
their
deliberations,
the
Trustees
did
not
identify
any
particular
information
as
to
the
RIM
Agreement
or,
other
than
RIM’s
recommendation,
the
portfolio
management
contract
with
any
Money
Manager
for
a
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Fund
that
was
all-important
or
controlling,
except,
in
the
case
of
the
RIM
Agreement,
the
need
to
continue
the
managers-of-managers
structure
of
the
Manager-of-Managers
Underlying
Funds,
and
each
Trustee
attributed
different
weights
to
the
various
factors
considered.
The
Trustees
evaluated
all
information
available
to
them
on
a
Fund-by-Fund
basis
and
their
determinations
were
made
in
respect
of
each
Fund
and
Underlying
Fund.
