C000117394 Investment Objective and Strategy
U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Russell Investment CO.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide long term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund has a non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities economically tied to the U.S. The Fund invests principally in common stocks of large and medium capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund defines large and medium capitalization stocks as stocks of those companies represented by the Russell 1000 Index or within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index as measured at its most recent reconstitution. The Fund generally employs a dynamic style of investing. Dynamic style emphasizes investments in equity securities of companies believed to have higher than average stock price volatility (i.e., the amount by which a stocks price rises and falls over short-term time periods) and higher than average earnings variability.
The Fund may employ long-short equity strategies pursuant to which it sells securities short. Russell Investment Management, LLC (RIM) provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund. The Funds assets are managed by RIM and multiple money managers unaffiliated with RIM pursuant to a multi-manager approach. RIM manages assets not allocated to money manager strategies and utilizes quantitative and/or rules-based processes and qualitative analysis to assess Fund characteristics and invest in securities and instruments which provide the desired exposures. RIM may use strategies based on indexes. RIM also manages the Fund's cash balances. The Fund usually, but not always, pursues a strategy to be fully invested by exposing all or a portion of its cash to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing equity securities and/or derivatives, which typically include index futures contracts.
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments and may use derivatives to take both long and short positions. The Fund may also invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers by purchasing American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Please refer to the Investment Objective and Investment Strategies section in the Fund's Prospectus for further information.
