Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. An underweight to corporate bonds dragged on performance as credit spreads ended the fiscal year tighter, while positioning in emerging markets and an overweight to securitized credit were additive. An overweight to U.S. duration, implemented via derivatives, contributed positively to performance as U.S. interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025. The Fund’s underweight Japanese interest rates position was additive, while an overweight to U.K. interest rates detracted (both implemented via derivatives). The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. All the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. An underweight to corporate bonds dragged on performance as credit spreads ended the fiscal year tighter, while positioning in emerging markets and an overweight to securitized credit were additive. An overweight to U.S. duration, implemented via derivatives, contributed positively to performance as U.S. interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025. The Fund’s underweight Japanese interest rates position was additive, while an overweight to U.K. interest rates detracted (both implemented via derivatives). The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. All the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year.

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

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to high yield corporate bonds and securitized credit (non-agency CMO, non-agency CMBS and ABS) were the primary drivers of outperformance. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight to 2- and 3-year U.S. key rate duration position, implemented via derivatives, was additive as U.S. interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025. Short Japanese and European interest rates positions, implemented via derivatives, also contributed positively to performance. The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. All of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to high yield corporate bonds and securitized credit (non-agency CMO, non-agency CMBS and ABS) were the primary drivers of outperformance. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight to 2- and 3-year U.S. key rate duration position, implemented via derivatives, was additive as U.S. interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025. Short Japanese and European interest rates positions, implemented via derivatives, also contributed positively to performance. The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. All of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year.

The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. All of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks for the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate bonds, ABS, CMBS, and non-agency CMOs were primary drivers of the outperformance, as spreads ended the fiscal year tighter. The Fund’s overweight to U.S. duration, implemented via derivatives, was additive as interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025, but was partially offset as interest rates sold off at the end of 2024. An underweight to Japanese interest rates, implemented via derivatives, also contributed positively. The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from international interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. Each of the Fund’s money managers outperformed both their assigned benchmarks and the Fund’s benchmark for the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate bonds, ABS, CMBS, and non-agency CMOs were primary drivers of the outperformance, as spreads ended the fiscal year tighter. The Fund’s overweight to U.S. duration, implemented via derivatives, was additive as interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025, but was partially offset as interest rates sold off at the end of 2024. An underweight to Japanese interest rates, implemented via derivatives, also contributed positively. The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from international interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. Each of the Fund’s money managers outperformed both their assigned benchmarks and the Fund’s benchmark for the fiscal year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, due primarily to out-of-benchmark exposures to investment-grade corporate bonds and securitized credit (non-agency CMBS, non-agency CMOs and ABS), which outperformed as credit spreads ended the fiscal year tighter. The Fund’s overweight duration position and yield curve positioning, implemented via derivatives, contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s underweight to Japanese rates, implemented via derivatives, was additive for the fiscal year. The Fund also used government bond futures and currency forwards to seek to generate active returns from interest rates and currency positions, and these strategies had a positive impact during the fiscal year. Each of the Fund’s money managers outperformed their assigned benchmarks and the Fund’s secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, with their out-of-benchmark allocation to investment-grade corporates being additive.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated municipals contributed positively while an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracted from performance as lower quality cohorts underperformed over the fiscal year. An overweight to longer maturing municipals also detracted from performance, as longer-maturity municipal securities lagged their intermediate-maturity counterparts over the fiscal year. The Fund’s U.S. interest rates curve positioning detracted from performance, with an underweight to short term key rate durations detracting from performance as the yield curve bull steepened during the fiscal year. The Fund’s underweight to the housing sector detracted from performance while an underweight to high yield tobacco was additive.  One of the Fund’s two money managers employed throughout the fiscal year outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, with their overweight to A-rated municipals being additive. The other money manager employed throughout the fiscal year underperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark, with an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracting from relative performance over the period.

The other money manager employed throughout the fiscal year underperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark, with an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracting from relative performance over the period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated municipals contributed positively while an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracted from performance as lower quality cohorts underperformed over the fiscal year. An overweight to longer maturing municipals also detracted from performance, as longer-maturity municipal securities lagged their intermediate-maturity counterparts over the fiscal year. The Fund’s U.S. interest rates curve positioning detracted from performance, with an underweight to short term key rate durations detracting from performance as the yield curve bull steepened during the fiscal year. The Fund’s underweight to the housing sector detracted from performance while an underweight to high yield tobacco was additive.  One of the Fund’s two money managers employed throughout the fiscal year outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark for the fiscal year, with their overweight to A-rated municipals being additive.

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated municipals contributed positively while an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracted from performance as lower quality cohorts underperformed over the fiscal year. As interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025, the Fund’s overweight duration position was additive but was partially offset as interest rates sold off at the end of 2024. Overweight positions within the housing and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors were additive. An overweight to Illinois detracted from performance while a slight overweight to the top-performing U.S. Virgin Islands provided an offset. Both of the Fund’s money managers underperformed the Fund’s benchmark over the fiscal year, with the managers’ overweight to BBB-rated municipals hindering their performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight to A-rated municipals contributed positively while an overweight to BBB-rated municipals detracted from performance as lower quality cohorts underperformed over the fiscal year. As interest rates rallied in the first and third quarter of 2025, the Fund’s overweight duration position was additive but was partially offset as interest rates sold off at the end of 2024. Overweight positions within the housing and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors were additive. An overweight to Illinois detracted from performance while a slight overweight to the top-performing U.S. Virgin Islands provided an offset. Both of the Fund’s money managers underperformed the Fund’s benchmark over the fiscal year, with the managers’ overweight to BBB-rated municipals hindering their performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the period. Out-of-index allocations to waste and communications infrastructure had the largest impact on performance. An underweight to marine ports further detracted. Favorable security selection among gas, electric and multi-utilities was beneficial.

 

Money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with two managers hindered by off-benchmark allocations to the communications sector and one manager benefiting from positive security selection within the gas utilities and multi-utilities sectors.

 

Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of infrastructure stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. Underweights to electric utilities and airports benefited performance while an overweight to multi-utilities detracted.

 

During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the period. Out-of-index allocations to waste and communications infrastructure had the largest impact on performance. An underweight to marine ports further detracted. Favorable security selection among gas, electric and multi-utilities was beneficial.

 

Money manager performance was mixed for the fiscal year, with two managers hindered by off-benchmark allocations to the communications sector and one manager benefiting from positive security selection within the gas utilities and multi-utilities sectors.

 

Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of infrastructure stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. Underweights to electric utilities and airports benefited performance while an overweight to multi-utilities detracted.

 

During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the period. Negative security selection within Continental Europe and Singapore detracted from performance. Unfavorable stock selection among lodging, specialty and net lease REITs also had a negative impact. These effects were partially offset by positive security selection within the health care and industrial sectors.

 

Both of the Fund’s money managers underperformed during the period.

 

Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of real estate stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An overweight to Australia and underweight to specialty REITs were additive, while an overweight to shopping centers detracted from performance.

 

During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the period. Negative security selection within Continental Europe and Singapore detracted from performance. Unfavorable stock selection among lodging, specialty and net lease REITs also had a negative impact. These effects were partially offset by positive security selection within the health care and industrial sectors.

 

Both of the Fund’s money managers underperformed during the period.

 

Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which implemented sector tilting through the purchase of real estate stocks, outperformed the Fund’s secondary benchmark. An overweight to Australia and underweight to specialty REITs were additive, while an overweight to shopping centers detracted from performance.

 

During the fiscal year, RIM used index futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash and this strategy performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year.  Nine of the Fund’s fifteen money manager strategies outperformed their assigned benchmarks. Security selection had a positive impact on benchmark-relative performance, driven by outperformance from two of the Fund’s money managers. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a notable positive contributor. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to quality factor, detracted from benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences, implement risk-mitigation strategies and expose cash to equity markets and these instruments performed as intended.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

The Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark for the fiscal year. Nine of the Fund’s sixteen money manager strategies outperformed their assigned benchmarks.  Security selection was a positive contributor to benchmark-relative performance, driven by strong performance from the Fund’s equity money managers. Active management of the Fund’s duration positioning was a positive contributor. Russell Investment Management, LLC’s (“RIM”) positioning strategy, which sought to control Fund-level exposures and risks through the purchase of a stock portfolio providing exposure to value and low volatility factors, detracted from benchmark-relative performance. During the fiscal year, RIM used equity and fixed income derivatives, such as futures and options, to seek to maintain tactical asset allocation preferences, implement risk-mitigation strategies and expose cash to equity markets and these instruments performed as intended.
