IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
This document contains a Joint Proxy Statement and proxy card(s) for an upcoming shareholder meeting of Russell Investment Company and Russell Investment Funds (the “Trusts”). A proxy card is, in essence, a ballot. When you vote using a proxy card, you appoint an individual named on the card to act as your proxy at the actual shareholder meeting and you instruct that individual as to how to vote on your behalf at the shareholder meeting. The proxy card(s) may be completed by checking the appropriate box and voting for or against the proposal. If you simply sign the proxy without specifying a vote with respect to the proposal, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Trustees.
Please read the Joint Proxy Statement and cast your vote through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on your proxy card(s) or cast your vote by signing, voting and returning the proxy card(s) in the envelope provided. Voting your proxy, and doing so promptly, ensures that the Trusts will not need to conduct additional mailings or contact you directly to obtain your vote.
Please exercise your right to vote. Thank you.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To all shareholders of Russell Investment Company and Russell Investment Funds:
Russell Investment Company (“RIC”) and Russell Investment Funds (“RIF”) (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) are holding a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of all shareholders of each of the separate series of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) on September 28, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person; all references herein to attending the meeting or voting “in person” mean in person by means of remote communication.
The Trusts are each Massachusetts business trusts and each operates as a registered management investment company. RIC and RIF currently offer shares of 31 and 9 Funds, respectively. The Proposal relates to all shareholders of the Funds.
The Special Meeting is being held for the purpose of electing six (6) persons (each, a “Trustee Nominee”) to the Board of Trustees of each of RIC and RIF. These matters are discussed in detail in the joint proxy statement enclosed with this notice.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EACH TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL.
The Trusts have fixed the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2021 as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments thereof. Each share of each Fund is entitled to one vote on the Proposal and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held.
Because the Special Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, shareholders will not be able to attend the Shareholder Meeting at a physical location. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting virtually.
The Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on September 28, 2021. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, submit your questions during the Shareholder Meeting and vote your shares electronically at the Special Meeting by going to Meetings.computershare.com/MANLUKU and entering your control number, which is included on the proxy card that you received.
If your shares are held through a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record you will need to request a legal proxy in order to receive access to the virtual Special Meeting. To do so, you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”). Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on September 23, 2021. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email that includes the control number necessary to access and vote at the Special Meeting. Requests for registration should be directed to Computershare at shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.
Regardless of whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card(s), or by signing, voting and returning the proxy card(s) in the postage paid envelope so that a quorum will be present and a maximum number of shares may be voted. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please review the instructions for each of these voting options as detailed on your proxy card(s) and in the Joint Proxy Statement. If you attend the Special Meeting, you may vote by means of remote communication even if you have previously returned your proxy card(s) or have voted through the Internet or by telephone. Proxies may be revoked at any time before they are exercised by submitting a revised proxy, by giving written notice of revocation to the Trusts or by voting by means of remote communication at the Special Meeting. It is very important that you vote your proxy promptly so that a quorum may be ensured and the costs of further solicitations avoided.
As always, we thank you for the trust you have placed in the Trusts.

By Order of the Trusts, |

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Although we recommend that you read the complete Joint Proxy Statement, for your convenience we have provided a brief overview of the proposal (the “Proposal”). The information provided under the “Questions and Answers” section below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Proxy Statement.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Why am I receiving this Joint Proxy Statement?
The Board of Trustees is asking you to vote on the Proposal:
PROPOSAL: To elect as members (each, a “Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) of the Boards of Trustees (collectively, the “Board”) of Russell Investment Company (“RIC”) and Russell Investment Funds (“RIF”) (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) (i) two current Trustees of RIC and RIF – Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux – who have not previously been elected by shareholders and (ii) four additional individuals – Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback – who are not current Trustees of RIC and RIF but who have been nominated by the Board to stand for election by shareholders. The Trusts are currently served by a single set of Trustees, whereby all Trustees serve on the Board of each Trust. The Trusts are sponsored by Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM” or the “Manager”), who serves as the investment adviser of each of the separate series of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The service as Trustee of Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback would commence upon their election to the Board by shareholders.
At their meeting held on May 24, 2021, the Trustees determined to present (i) the election of two current Trustees of RIC and RIF – Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux – who have not been previously elected by the shareholders and (ii) the election of four additional individuals who are not current Trustees of RIC and RIF but who have been nominated by the Board, at the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee, to stand for election by shareholders (each a “Trustee Nominee” and collectively, the “Trustee Nominees”) to hold office until such Trustee Nominee sooner dies, retires, resigns or is removed, as provided for in the Trusts’ organizational documents. Each of RIC and RIF currently has six Trustees. Each of the six current Trustees, except Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux and Ms. Michelle Cahoon, have previously been elected by RIC and RIF shareholders. The Proposal does not relate to those Trustees previously elected by RIC and RIF shareholders. – If either Ms. Michelle Cahoon or Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux does not receive a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting, she will remain on the Board of such Trust as a non-shareholder elected Trustee. If a Trustee Nominee other than Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux does not receive a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting, such Trustee Nominee will not serve on the Board of such
Trust. RIC and RIF also have one Trustee Emeritus. The Trustee Emeritus does not have the power to vote on matters coming before the Board, or to direct the vote of any Trustee, and generally is not responsible or accountable in any way for the performance of the Board’s responsibilities. The service as Trustee of Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback would commence upon their election to the Board by shareholders.
For purposes of the Proposal, you are entitled to vote if you own shares in any one or more Funds as of the close of the Record Date (defined below) and your vote will be counted together with the votes of shareholders of other Funds in the same Trust.
How do the Trustees suggest that I vote?
After careful consideration, the Trustees, which are all Independent Trustees of the Trusts, unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” the Proposal listed on the proxy card.
Why do the Trustees recommend that I vote “FOR” the Proposal?
The Trustees believe that each Trustee Nominee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustee Nominees and the Board, collectively, lead to the conclusion that each Trustee Nominee possesses the requisite experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to serve on the Board. The Trustees believe that each Trustee Nominee’s ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them; to interact effectively with RIM, other service providers, legal counsel and independent public accountants; and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees, support this conclusion. The Trustees have also considered the contributions that each Trustee Nominee can make to the Board and each Trust. Additionally, in considering each Trustee Nominee, the Trustees took into account the concern for the continued efficient conduct of the Trusts’ business. In particular, the Trustees considered the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and any amendments thereto, as they apply to the election of Trustees generally and the Trustee Nominees in particular.
Will my vote make a difference?
Yes. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposal can be acted upon. To avoid the added cost of follow-up solicitations and possible adjournments, please read the Joint Proxy Statement and cast your vote through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on your proxy card(s). You may also vote by signing, voting and returning the proxy card(s) in the envelope provided. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of the Trusts.
What is the deadline for submitting my vote?
We encourage you to vote as soon as possible to make sure that the Trusts receive enough votes to act on the proposal. Unless you attend the meeting to vote by means of remote communication, your vote (cast by Internet, telephone or paper proxy card) must be received by the Trusts prior to the start of the meeting (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on September 28, 2021).
Who is eligible to vote?
Any person who owned shares of a Fund on the “Record Date,” which was June 30, 2021 (even if that person has since sold those shares).
Whom do I call if I have questions?
We will be happy to answer your questions about this proxy solicitation. We have engaged Computershare Fund Services as our proxy solicitation agent. If you have questions, please call Russell Investments toll-free at 1-800-787-7354.
How can I vote my shares?
If you do not plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually, for your convenience, you are encouraged to vote in any of the following three simple ways:
Internet – log on to the website address located on your proxy card(s). You will need the control number found on the proxy card(s) at the time you execute your vote.
Touchtone Phone – dial the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card(s) and follow the automated instructions. Please have the proxy card(s) available at the time of the call.
Mail – sign, date, and complete the reverse side of the proxy card(s) and return the proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope provided.
Please respond. Your vote is important whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting. To assure the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting, and to avoid the added cost of follow-up solicitations and possible adjournments, please take a few minutes to read the joint proxy statement and cast your vote through the internet or by telephone by following the instructions on your proxy card(s), or by signing, voting and returning the proxy card(s) in the envelope provided. Please take advantage of these prompt and efficient voting options.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION AND VOTING INFORMATION
The Board is asking for shareholder approval to elect Ms. Michelle Cahoon, Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux, Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback to the Board.
Who May Vote
All shareholders of the Funds who own shares as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote on the proposal (the “Proposal”). Each share of each Fund will be entitled to one vote on the Proposal at the Special Meeting and each fraction of a share will be entitled to the fraction of a vote equal to the proportion of a full share represented by the fractional share. Appendix A sets forth the number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding and entitled to be voted of each class of each Fund as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2021.
Voting by Proxy
If you do not plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually, you may submit a vote by proxy in any of the following three simple ways:
Internet – log on to the website address located on your proxy card(s). You will need the control number found on the proxy card(s) at the time you execute your vote.
Touchtone Phone – dial the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card(s) and follow the automated instructions. Please have the proxy card(s) available at the time of the call.
Mail – sign, date, and complete the reverse side of the proxy card(s) and return the proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope provided.
For information about attending the Special Meeting by means of live webcast and voting remotely, please see below.
If you need more information on how to vote, or if you have any questions, please call Russell Investments toll-free at 1-800-787-7354. The Trusts urge you to fill out and return your proxy card(s) or vote by telephone or the Internet, even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually. Doing so will not affect your right to attend the Special Meeting and vote.
The Trusts have named Mary Beth Albaneze, Mark Swanson and Kari Seabrands as proxies, and their names appear on your proxy card(s). By signing your proxy card(s) and returning it or, alternatively, by voting through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card(s), you are appointing those persons to
1
vote for you at the Special Meeting. If you properly fill in your proxy card(s) and return it to the Trusts in time to vote, one of the appointed proxies will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign and return your proxy card(s), but do not make a specific choice with respect to the Proposal, one of the appointed proxies will vote your shares on the Proposal as recommended by the Board. You may vote part of your shares in favor of the Proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the Proposal, but if you fail to specify the number of shares in which you are voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that your approving vote is with respect to the total shares that you are entitled to vote on the Proposal.
If an additional matter is properly presented for vote at the Special Meeting, one of the appointed proxies will vote in accordance with his/her best judgment. At the time this Joint Proxy Statement was printed, the Trusts were not aware of any other matter that needed to be acted upon at the Special Meeting other than the Proposal discussed in this Joint Proxy Statement.
If you appoint a proxy by signing and returning your proxy card(s), you can revoke that appointment at any time before it is exercised. You can revoke your proxy by sending in another proxy with a later date, by notifying the Trusts in writing that you have revoked your proxy prior to the Special Meeting, by writing to the Secretary of the Trusts at the following address: 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101, or by attending the Special Meeting and voting remotely. Proxies voted by telephone or through the Internet may be revoked at any time before they are voted in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be revoked.
If you hold shares of a Fund indirectly through your investment in a variable insurance product, the insurance company is the shareholder of the Fund and is entitled to vote those shares. Pursuant to applicable laws, the insurance company votes such shares in accordance with instructions received from owners of the variable insurance products. Accordingly, you are being asked to provide voting instructions to your insurance company by means of a voting instruction card. The enclosed voting instruction card(s) contains details regarding how to provide your voting instructions.
Voting by Means of Remote Communication
The Special Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on September 28, 2021.
Because the Special Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, shareholders will not be able to attend the Shareholder Meeting at a physical location.
You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online, submit your questions during the Shareholder Meeting and vote your shares electronically at the Special Meeting by going to Meetings.computershare.com/MANLUKU and entering your control number, which is included on the proxy card that you received.
2
If your shares are held through a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record you will need to request a legal proxy in order to receive access to the virtual Special Meeting. To do so, you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”). Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on September 23, 2021. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email that includes the control number necessary to access and vote at the Special Meeting. Requests for registration should be directed to Computershare at shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.
Recommendation
The proxy is solicited by the Board on behalf of the Trusts, which unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of all Trustee Nominees.
Requirement of a Quorum and Vote Needed
A quorum is the number of outstanding shares, as of the Record Date, that must be present, in person (including by means of remote communication) or by proxy, in order for a Fund to hold a valid shareholder meeting. A Trust cannot hold a valid shareholder meeting unless there is a quorum of shareholders present in person or by proxy. RIC’s Fourth Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, as amended, and RIF’s Third Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement each provide that the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum.
All shareholders of each Trust as of the Record Date will be entitled to vote on the Proposal. Each Trustee Nominee must receive a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting. For purposes of determining whether a Trustee Nominee receives a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting and, therefore, whether such Trustee Nominee has been elected by shareholders to serve on the Board of such Trust, your vote will be counted together with the votes of shareholders of other Funds in the same Trust. Provided that a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, the six Trustee Nominees receiving the most “FOR” votes will be elected (even if this represents less than a majority of the votes cast). Because each Trustee Nominee is up for election for a distinct seat on the Board (i.e., there is one vacancy corresponding to each Trustee Nominee) and because it is expected that each such election will be uncontested, to the extent that a Trustee Nominee receives any votes, such Trustee Nominee will be elected.
Under rules applicable to broker-dealers, if your broker holds your shares in its name, the broker is allowed to vote your shares on the election of Trustees even if it has not received voting instructions from you. Broker non-votes (i.e., the scenario where a broker-dealer holding shares of a fund on behalf of a beneficial owner does not receive voting instructions from such beneficial owner, and the broker-dealer subsequently
3
declines to vote, or is not permitted to vote, those shares at the Special Meeting) and abstentions with respect to the Proposal count as shares “present” solely for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not count as votes against each nominee.
Shares represented in person or by proxy, including shares that abstain or do not vote with respect to the Proposal, will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum at the Special Meeting.
Where shares of a Fund are held by another fund for which RIM serves as the investment adviser, those shares will be voted for and against the Proposal in the same proportion as the votes of the Fund’s other shareholders on the proposal.
Adjournments
In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. In addition, an adjournment is permitted if a quorum is present, but sufficient votes in favor of the Proposal have not been received. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Special Meeting in person (including by means of remote communication) or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Signed proxies that have been returned to the Trusts without any indication of how the shareholder wished to vote will be voted in favor of the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting.
Solicitation of Proxies
Proxies will be solicited primarily by mailing of the proxy materials, but proxies also may be solicited through further mailings, telephone calls, personal interviews or e-mail by officers of the Funds, employees or agents of RIM, and one or more third-party agents, including other financial intermediaries, particularly as the date of the Special Meeting approaches. The Funds have retained a proxy solicitation agent, Computershare Fund Services, to assist in forwarding and soliciting proxies. Pursuant to this arrangement, the proxy solicitation agent has agreed to contact shareholders, banks, brokers, and proxy intermediaries to secure votes on the Proposal described in the Joint Proxy Statement. Should shareholders require additional information regarding the proxy, they may call Russell Investments toll-free at 1-800-787-7354. The proxy solicitation costs of the Proposal are expected to be approximately $1.6 million.
Costs of the Special Meeting
The Funds will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the Special Meeting, including the cost of soliciting proxies and the cost associated with any adjournments, whether or not the Proposal is approved by shareholders. The cost of the Special Meeting will be allocated to each Trust and borne by the Funds organized under such
4
Trust. Costs that are collectively borne by the Funds of each Trust will be allocated among the Funds of such Trust on the basis of relative net assets, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more specific Funds. Such expenses are infrequent and/or unusual expenses and, therefore, will not be subject to any direct Fund-level expense cap in effect for the Funds.
Additional information about the Funds is available in their respective prospectuses, statements of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. Copies of the Funds’ most recent annual and semi-annual reports are available without charge by calling 1-800-787-7354, by writing to P.O. Box 219430, Kansas City, MO 64121-9430 or by visiting the Funds’ website at https://russellinvestments.com. All of these documents also are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
PLEASE VOTE THROUGH THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY CARD(S) OR BY COMPLETING, SIGNING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD(S) PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2021

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSAL
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES TO THE BOARD
Who are the Trustee Nominees?
Ms. Michelle Cahoon, Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux, Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback are the Trustee Nominees. Mses. Cahoon and Dien Ledoux each currently serve on the Board of each Trust. Ms. Jeannie Shanahan, Mr. Michael Day, Mr. Jeremy May and Mr. Vernon Barback do not currently serve on the Board of either Trust but, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, were nominated by the Board at a meeting held on May 24, 2021, to stand for election by shareholders of the Trusts. Each of Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux were and, if elected by shareholders, each of Messrs. Day and May, Ms. Shanahan and Mr. Barback will be elected as a Trustee by the Board to serve until the Trustee Nominee sooner dies, retires, resigns or is removed, as provided for in the Trusts’ organizational documents pursuant to Article III, Section 3.1(c) of RIC’s Fourth Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, as amended, and Article III, Section 3.1(c) of RIF’s Third Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement. It is now proposed that (i) Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux, each of whom currently serve as a Trustee of RIC and RIF, be elected by shareholders to serve on the Board of the Trusts and (ii) Messrs. Day and May, Ms. Shanahan and Mr. Barback be elected by shareholders to serve on the Board of the Trusts. Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux would each remain on the Board of the Trusts even if not elected as a Trustee by the shareholders.
One of the Trustee Nominees, Mr. Vernon Barback, serves as Chief Administrative Officer of an affiliate of the Fund’s adviser and is considered to be an interested person of the Trusts, as that term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). No Trustee Nominee is a party adverse to the Trusts or any of their affiliates in any material legal proceeding, nor does any Trustee Nominee have a materially adverse interest to the Trusts.

Additional Information about the Trustee Nominees
The Trustees believe that each Trustee Nominee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustee Nominees and the Board, collectively, lead to the conclusion that the Trustee Nominees possess the requisite experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to serve on the Board. The Trustees believe that the Trustee Nominees’ ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them; to interact effectively with RIM, other service providers, legal counsel and independent public accountants; and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees, support this conclusion. The Trustees also evaluated whether each Trustee Nominee is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee and whether each Trustee Nominee is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee. The Trustees have also considered not only the contributions that each Trustee Nominee can make to the Board and the Trust based upon their particular background, business and professional experience, education and skills, among other things, but also whether such background, business and professional experience, education and skills enhance the Board’s diversity. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee considers diversity of background, experience and views among its members a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity.
To date, the Nominating and Governance Committee has been able to identify, and expects to continue to be able to identify an ample number of qualified candidates from the resources at its disposal.
As described in the table above, the Independent Trustee Nominees possess the experience and skills to provide them a basis of acquiring knowledge of the business and operation of the Funds and the Trusts. In addition, the following specific experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills apply as to each Trustee Nominee: Ms. Cahoon has had experience as the senior financial executive of other investment companies and their investment adviser and distributor, as well as a certified public accountant who previously provided audit services in the financial sector at a multi-national accounting
10
firm and has been determined by the Board to be an “audit committee financial expert”; Ms. Dien Ledoux has had investment experience as a portfolio manager and has had experience as a member of the board of trustees of other investment companies; Mr. Day has had experience as an executive-level leader in corporate finance and accounting, as a member of the boards of other companies and non-profit organizations, and as a certified public accountant; Mr. May has had business, financial services, accounting and investment management experience as a senior executive and board member of financial services, investment management and other organizations, as well as experience as a board member of other investment companies and as a certified public accountant; Ms. Shanahan has had financial, risk management, governance and compliance experience in highly regulated industries as a senior executive at large financial institutions, and as a member of the board of a non-profit organization; and Mr. Barback has had experience as a senior executive of other financial services companies with responsibility for investment, financial, and operational matters affecting asset managers and related service providers. As a senior officer of an affiliate of RIM (the Funds’ adviser), Mr. Barback is in a position to provide the Board with such entity’s perspectives on the management, operations and distribution of the RIC and RIF Funds.
Messrs. Day and May and Ms. Cahoon were referred by contacts of the Nominating and Governance Committee; Ms. Shanahan was referred by the former chief operating officer of Russell Investments; Ms. Dien Ledoux was referred by counsel to the Trusts; and Mr. Barback was recommended by the chief executive officer of Russell Investments.
Why are Trustee Nominees Being Elected at the Present Time?
Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act, provides that a board of trustees may fill a board seat vacancy between meetings and without shareholder approval only if immediately after such vacancy is filled, at least two-thirds of the trustees then holding office were previously elected by shareholders. However, if, at any time, less than a majority of trustees have been elected by holders of the outstanding voting securities, the board of trustees would not be permitted to fill a board seat vacancy and would be required to call a special meeting within sixty (60) days for the purpose of electing trustees to fill any existing vacancies.
The RIC and RIF Boards are currently composed of exactly two-thirds shareholder-elected Trustees. Therefore, the existing Trustees cannot appoint any new Trustees to the Board and, therefore, each Trust is required to hold a special meeting of the shareholders to elect a new Trustee. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote to approve the Proposal. Doing so will provide the Board with the flexibility to fill any future vacancy without holding such a special meeting because the RIC and RIF Boards would be composed of more than two-thirds shareholder-elected Trustees. If the Proposal is adopted, the Board of each Trust would be composed in its entirety of shareholder-elected Trustees and, therefore, no Trust would be expected to be required to hold a special shareholder meeting to elect new Trustees in the near term.
11
The Proposal does not apply to the four Trustees previously elected by RIC and RIF shareholders. Each of these Trustees will continue to hold office during the lifetime of the Trusts, except as such Trustee sooner dies, retires, resigns or is removed, as provided for in the Trusts’ organizational documents.
If either Ms. Michelle Cahoon or Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux does not receive a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting, she will remain on the Board of such Trust as a non-shareholder elected Trustee. If a Trustee Nominee other than Ms. Michelle Cahoon and Ms. Julie Dien Ledoux does not receive a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust voting, such Trustee Nominee will not serve on the Board of such Trust.
RIC and RIF also have one Trustee Emeritus. The Trustee Emeritus does not have the power to vote on matters coming before the Board, or to direct the vote of any Trustee, and generally is not responsible or accountable in any way for the performance of the Board’s responsibilities.
How Long Do Trustees Serve on the Board?
Each Trustee shall serve during the continued lifetime of the Trust until he or she retires (or upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75, subject to a Trustee’s ability to request one-year waivers from the application of the mandatory retirement age policy), dies, resigns, or is removed by, in substance, a vote of two-thirds of the number of Trustees or of the Trust’s shares outstanding. Any Trustee may resign at any time by written instrument signed by him or her and delivered to the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary (other than him or herself) of the Trust, or to a meeting of the Trustees. Such resignation shall be effective upon delivery unless specified to be effective at some other time. Except to the extent expressly provided in a written agreement with a Trust or resolution of the Board, no Trustee resigning and no Trustee removed shall have any right to any compensation for any period following his or her resignation or removal, or any right to damages or other payment on account of such removal. Any Trustee may be removed at any time by a vote of at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal. Any Trustee may also be removed at any meeting of shareholders called for that purpose by a vote of two-thirds of the total combined net asset value of all shares of the applicable Trust issued and outstanding. A meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing or removing one or more Trustees may be called (i) by the Trustees upon their own vote, or (ii) upon the demand of shareholders of a Trust owning 10% or more of the shares of the Trust in the aggregate.
What are the Board’s Responsibilities?
The Board is responsible under Massachusetts law for generally overseeing management of the business and affairs of the Trusts and does not manage operations on a day-to-day basis. The officers of each Trust, all of whom are employed by and are
12
officers of RIM or its affiliates, are responsible for the day-to-day management and administration of the Funds’ operations. The Board carries out its general oversight responsibilities in respect of the Funds’ operations by, among other things, meeting with the Trusts’ management at the Board’s regularly scheduled meetings and as otherwise needed and, with the assistance of the Trusts’ management, monitoring or evaluating the performance of the Funds’ service providers, including RIM, the Funds’ custodian and the Funds’ respective transfer agents. As part of this oversight process, the Board consults not only with management and RIM, but with the Trusts’ independent auditors, Fund counsel and separate counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board monitors Fund performance as well as the quality of services provided to the Funds. As part of its monitoring efforts, the Board reviews Fund fees and expenses in light of the nature, scope and overall quality of services provided to the Funds. The Board is required under the 1940 Act to review and approve the Funds’ contracts with RIM and the money managers.
What are the Board’s Standing Committees?
Each Board has a standing Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, and Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee.
Audit Committee
The Board has adopted and approved a formal written charter for the Audit Committee, which sets forth the Audit Committee’s current responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s primary functions are: (1) to assist Board oversight of (a) the integrity of the Funds’ financial statements, (b) RIC and RIF’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to financial reporting, as appropriate, (c) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (d) the performance of RIC and RIF’s independent registered public accounting firm; (2) to oversee the preparation of an Audit Committee report as required by the SEC to be included in RIC and RIF’s Form N-CSR or any proxy statement, as applicable; (3) to oversee RIC and RIF’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls; and (4) to act as a liaison between RIC and RIF’s independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board. The Audit Committee oversees both the audit and non-audit work of RIC and RIF’s independent registered public accounting firm, submits a recommendation to the Board as to the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm, and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services to be rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for RIC and RIF. It is management’s responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control and the auditor’s responsibility to plan and carry out a proper audit. Currently, the Audit Committee members are Mr. Raymond P. Tennison, Jr. and Mses. Kristianne Blake and Michelle L. Cahoon, each of whom is an Independent Trustee. Ms. Michelle L. Cahoon has had experience as a certified public accountant and as a senior financial executive of other investment companies and has been determined by the Board to be an “audit committee financial expert.”
13
Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee
The Board has adopted and approved a formal written charter for the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee, which sets forth the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee’s current responsibilities. The Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee: (1) shall regularly receive, review and consider reports on certain regulatory and investment-related compliance matters regarding the operation of the Funds, separately and as a whole; (2) shall review with RIM and its affiliates the kind, scope, and format of, and the time periods covered by the reports provided to the Committee; (3) may review with RIM and its affiliates such other regulatory and investment-related compliance matters that are related to the operation of the Funds as the Committee may deem to be necessary or appropriate; and (4) may meet with any officer of RIC or RIF, or officer or other representative of RIM, any sub-adviser to a Fund or other service provider to RIC or RIF. Currently, the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee members are Mr. Jack R. Thompson and Mses. Julie Dien Ledoux and Katherine W. Krysty.
Nominating and Governance Committee
The Board has adopted and approved a formal written charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee, which sets forth the Nominating and Governance Committee’s current responsibilities. The primary functions of the Nominating and Governance Committee are to: (1) evaluate and nominate individuals for Trustee membership on the Board, including individuals who are not interested persons of RIC and RIF for Independent Trustee membership; (2) supervise an annual assessment by the Trustees taking into account such factors as the Committee may deem appropriate; (3) review the composition of the Board; (4) review Independent Trustee compensation; and (5) make nominations for membership on all Board committees and review the responsibilities of each committee. In evaluating candidates for membership on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, among other factors that it may deem relevant: whether or not the person is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee; whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee; the contribution which the person may be expected to make to the Board and RIC and RIF, with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, board experience, education, diversity and such other factors as the Committee, in its sole judgment, may consider relevant; and the character and integrity of the person. In evaluating and identifying Independent Trustee candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers factors it deems relevant which include: whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve on the Board; whether or not the person has any relationship that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser of the Funds, principal Fund service providers or their affiliates; whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial services organizations or their funds; and
14
the character and integrity of the person and the contribution which the person can make to the Board. The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee considers diversity of background, experience and views among its members a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy on diversity. The Committee will not consider nominees recommended by shareholders of the Funds. Currently, the Nominating and Governance Committee members are Messrs. Raymond P. Tennison, Jr. and Jack R. Thompson and Ms. Kristianne Blake, each of whom is an Independent Trustee.
How Does the Board of Trustees Oversee Risk?
The Board’s role in risk oversight of the Funds reflects its responsibility under applicable state law to oversee generally, rather than to manage, the operations of the Funds. In line with this oversight responsibility, the Board receives reports and makes inquiry at its regular meetings and as needed regarding the nature and extent of significant Fund risks (including investment, operational, compliance and valuation risks) that potentially could have a material adverse impact on the business operations, investment performance or reputation of the Funds, but relies upon the Funds’ management (including the Funds’ portfolio managers), the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), who reports directly to the Board, and RIM (including RIM’s Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”)) to assist it in identifying and understanding the nature and extent of such risks and determining whether, and to what extent, such risks may be eliminated or mitigated. Under the Funds’ multi-manager structure, RIM is responsible for oversight, including risk management oversight, of the services provided by the Funds’ money managers, and providing reports to the Board with respect to the money managers. In addition to reports and other information received from Fund management and RIM regarding the Funds’ investment program and activities, the Board as part of its risk oversight efforts meets at its regular meetings and as needed with representatives of the Funds’ senior management, including its CCO, to discuss, among other things, risk issues and issues regarding the policies, procedures and controls of the Funds. The Board receives quarterly reports from the CCO and the CRO and other representatives of the Funds’ senior management which include information regarding risk issues. The Board may be assisted in performing aspects of its role in risk oversight by the Audit Committee, the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee and such other standing or special committees as may be established from time to time by the Board. For example, the Audit Committee of the Board regularly meets with the Funds’ independent public accounting firm to review, among other things, the independent public accounting firm’s comments with respect to the Funds’ financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and management’s responses thereto. The Board believes it is not possible to identify all risks that may affect the Funds; it is not practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate all risks; and it is necessary for the Funds to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve their investment objectives. The processes or controls developed to address risks may be limited in their effectiveness and some risks may be beyond the reasonable control of the Board, the Funds, RIM, RIM’s affiliates
15
or other service providers. Because the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of each of the Board’s Audit, Regulatory and Investment Compliance and Nominating and Governance Committees are Independent Trustees, the manner in which the Board administers its risk oversight efforts is not expected to have any significant impact on the Board’s leadership structure. The Board has determined that its leadership structure, including its role in risk oversight, is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Funds, including such factors as the number of Funds, the Funds’ share classes, the Funds’ distribution arrangements, and the Funds’ manager of managers structure. In addition, the Board believes that its leadership structure facilitates the independent and orderly exercise of its oversight responsibilities.
How Often Does the Board Meet?
The Board typically meets approximately eight times per year to review the operations of the Trusts and the Funds, including four quarterly meetings, two meetings to consider the annual renewal of certain Fund contractual arrangements, one meeting to consider certain matters arising in connection with the Board’s obligations under Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, and one meeting to consider applicable insurance coverages. During RIC’s last fiscal year, the Board met eleven times. During RIF’s last fiscal year, the Board met ten times. Generally, most meetings are held in person, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recent meetings have been conducted by means of remote communication and consistent with the conditions of a 2020 order issued by the SEC permitting mutual fund boards to conduct meetings telephonically or by video conference that otherwise would be required to be held in person. The Audit Committee generally meets quarterly. During RIC’s last fiscal year, the Audit Committee met six times, the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee, and its predecessor, the Investment Committee, met four times and the Nominating and Governance Committee met one time. During RIF’s last fiscal year, the Audit Committee met six times, the Regulatory and Investment Compliance Committee met four times and the Nominating and Governance Committee met one time. Ms. Cahoon was appointed by the Trustees to the Board effective April 1, 2021. As a result, Ms. Cahoon did not attend any meeting of the Board during either RIC or RIF’s most recent fiscal year.
Are the Trustees and Officers of the Trusts Paid for Their Services to the Trusts?
Independent Trustees are paid an annual retainer plus meeting attendance and chairperson fees, both at the Board and Committee levels, in addition to any travel and other expenses incurred in attending Board and Committee meetings. The Trusts’ officers and employees are paid by RIM or its affiliates.

Service Providers
Most of the Trusts’ necessary day-to-day operations are performed by separate business organizations under contract to the Trusts. The principal service providers are:
| | |
Investment Adviser | | Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”) |
| |
Administrator and Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent | | Russell Investments Fund Services, LLC (“RIFUS”) |
| |
Money Managers | | Multiple professional discretionary and/or non-discretionary investment management organizations |
| |
Custodian and Portfolio Accountant | | State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) |
| |

Investment Management Services. RIM provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds.
Each of the Funds pays an advisory fee directly to RIM, billed monthly on a pro rata basis and calculated as a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. (See the Prospectuses for the Funds’ annual management percentage rates).
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 Management, L.P. (“TA Associates”) (the “TA Funds”) indirectly have a majority ownership interest through alternative investment vehicles (the “TA Alternative Investment Vehicles”) and the limited partners of certain private equity funds affiliated with Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. (“Reverence Capital”) (the “Reverence Capital Funds”) indirectly have a significant minority controlling ownership interest through certain Reverence Capital Funds and alternative investment vehicles (the “Reverence Capital Entities”) in RIM and its affiliates(“Russell Investments”). The TA Alternative Investment Vehicles are ultimately controlled by TA Associates Cayman, Ltd., and the Reverence Capital Entities are ultimately controlled by Milton Berlinski, Alexander Chulack and Peter Aberg. TA Associates is one of the oldest and most experienced global growth private equity firms. Reverence Capital is a private investment firm, focused on investing in leading financial services companies. Members of Russell Investments’ current and former management and private markets firm Hamilton Lane Incorporated’s parent company also hold minority, non-controlling positions in Russell Investments Group, Ltd. RIM’s mailing address is 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101.
RIM provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds pursuant to separate Advisory Agreements with
23
each of RIC and RIF. For all Funds, other than the RIC Multifactor U.S. Equity Fund, RIC Multifactor International Equity Fund, RIC Multifactor Bond Fund, RIC Conservative Strategy Fund, RIC Moderate Strategy Fund, RIC Balanced Strategy Fund, RIC Growth Strategy Fund, RIC Equity Growth Strategy Fund, RIF Moderate Strategy Fund, RIF Balanced Strategy Fund, RIF Growth Strategy Fund and RIF Equity Growth Strategy Fund, subject to the approval of the Funds’ Board, RIM selects, and RIM also oversees and evaluates the performance results of the Funds’ money managers and allocates a portion of Fund assets among multiple money manager investment strategies. RIM may change a Fund’s asset allocation at any time, including not allocating Fund assets to one or more money manager strategies. A money manager may have (1) a discretionary asset management assignment pursuant to which it is allocated a portion of Fund assets to manage directly and selects the individual portfolio instruments 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 Fund or (3) both a discretionary and non-discretionary assignment. RIM does not evaluate the investment merits of a money manager’s individual security selections or recommendations. Money managers are unaffiliated with RIM. RIM manages Fund assets not allocated to money manager strategies. RIM also manages the portion of Fund assets for which a Fund’s non-discretionary money managers provide model portfolios to RIM and each Fund’s cash balances. RIM may also manage portions of a Fund during transitions between money managers. RIM, as agent for RIC and RIF, pays the money managers’ fees for the Funds, as a fiduciary for the Funds, out of the advisory fee paid by the Funds to RIM. The remainder of the advisory fee is retained by RIM as compensation for the services described above and to pay expenses.
Administrator. RIFUS, with the assistance of RIM and its affiliates, provides the Funds with office space, equipment and the personnel necessary to operate and administer the Funds’ business and to supervise the provision of services by certain third parties such as the custodian. RIFUS, like the Funds’ distributor, RIFIS, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIM (the Funds’ adviser).
Transfer Agent. RIFUS serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for RIC and RIF. For this service, RIFUS is paid a fee for transfer agency and dividend disbursing services provided to RIC and RIF. RIFUS retains a portion of this fee for its services provided to RIC and RIF and pays the balance to unaffiliated agents who assist in providing these services. RIFUS’s mailing address is 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101.
Custodian and Portfolio Accountant. State Street serves as the custodian and fund accountant for RIC and RIF. As custodian, State Street is responsible for the safekeeping of the Funds’ assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. State Street also provides basic portfolio recordkeeping required for the Funds for regulatory and financial reporting purposes. With respect to RIC and RIF, the mailing address for State Street is 1 Heritage Drive, North Quincy, MA 02171.
24
Distributor. RIFIS serves as the distributor of RIC and RIF Shares. Certain classes of RIC Funds pay for distribution-related services and shareholder services pursuant to RIC’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan, respectively. As permitted by RIC’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan, the Distributor has entered into arrangements with Selling Agents and Servicing Agents to perform certain distribution and shareholder services for certain classes of RIC. The distribution fees and shareholder services fees paid by the Funds to the Distributor are then paid by the Distributor to these Selling Agents and Servicing Agents. With the exception of Class C1 Shares, the Distributor does not retain any of the distribution fees or shareholder servicing fees paid to it by the Funds. Any amounts that are unable to be paid to the Selling and Servicing Agents are returned to RIC. The Distributor keeps a portion of the front-end sales charge imposed on Class A Shares. Financial Intermediaries receive the remaining amount of the front-end sales charge imposed on Class A Shares and all of the front-end sales charge imposed on Class T Shares and may be deemed to be underwriters of the relevant Fund as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Financial Intermediaries that sell Class A and Class T Shares may also receive the distribution fee payable under the Funds’ Distribution Plan at an annual rate of up to 0.75% (presently limited to 0.25%) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A and Class T Shares sold by them. The Distributor receives no compensation from RIF for its services.
The Distributor distributes shares of the Funds continuously, but reserves the right to suspend or discontinue distribution on that basis. The Distributor is not obligated to sell any specific amount of Fund shares. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIM and its mailing address is 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) serves as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of RIC and RIF. PwC is responsible for performing annual audits of the financial statements and financial highlights of the Funds in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and providing federal tax return preparation services and other tax compliance services. The mailing address of PwC is 1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2800, Seattle, Washington 98101.

All Other Fees. PwC did not bill the Trusts for other products and services, other than the services reported above, for the Trusts’ two most recently completed fiscal years.
26
Aggregate Non-Audit Fees. There were no non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the registrant, and to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-advisor (i.e., money manager) 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.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures for certain services provided by PwC. These policies and procedures are attached to this Joint Proxy Statement as Exhibit B.
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision by PwC of non-audit services to RIM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with RIM, that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee was compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC as the Funds’ principal auditors.
Principal Holders and Ownership by Officers and Trustees
Beneficial Share Ownership. To the knowledge of the Trusts, no person owned beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of shares of any Fund as of May 28, 2021, except as listed in Appendix B.
Security Ownership of Officers and Trustees. The Trustees, Trustee Nominees and officers of the Trusts, as a group, own less than 1% of any Class of any Fund as of May 28, 2021.
Other Matters to Come before the Special Meeting
The Trusts are not aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the meeting other than the matter set forth herein. Should any other matters requiring a vote of shareholders arise, the proxy in the accompanying form will confer upon the person or persons entitled to vote the shares represented by such proxy the discretionary authority to vote the shares as to any such other matters in accordance with their best judgment in the interest of the Trusts.
Householding
As permitted by law, only one copy of this Joint Proxy Statement may be delivered to shareholders residing at the same address, unless such shareholders have notified the Trusts of their desire to receive multiple copies of the reports and proxy statements the Trusts send. If you would like to receive an additional copy, please contact Russell Investments toll-free at 1-800-787-7354. The Trusts will then promptly deliver a separate copy of the Joint Proxy Statement to any shareholder residing at an address to which only one copy was previously mailed. Shareholders wishing to receive separate copies of the Trusts’ reports and proxy statements in the future, and shareholders sharing an address that wish to receive a single copy if they are receiving multiple copies should contact their financial intermediary.
27
Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees
If a Shareholder wishes to send a communication to the Board, or to a specified Trustee, the communication should be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Trusts at 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101, who will forward such communication to the Trustees.
Shareholder Information
RIC and RIF, as Massachusetts business trusts, are not required to hold annual shareholder meetings, but will hold special meetings as required or deemed desirable. Since the Trusts do not hold regular meetings of shareholders, the anticipated date of the next shareholders meeting cannot be provided. Shareholders who wish to present a proposal for action at a future meeting should submit a written proposal to the Trusts at 1301 Second Avenue, 18th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101 for inclusion in a future proxy statement. Shareholder proposals to be presented at any future meeting of the Trusts must be received by the Trusts in writing within a reasonable amount of time before the Trusts solicit proxies for that meeting, in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for that meeting. Whether a proposal is included in a proxy statement will be determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. Shareholders retain the right to request that a meeting of the shareholders be held for the purpose of considering matters requiring Shareholder approval.
Massachusetts State Law Considerations
Under certain unlikely circumstances, as is the case with any Massachusetts business trust, a shareholder of a Fund may be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. RIC’s Fourth Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, as amended, and RIF’s Third Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement (collectively, the “Master Trust Agreements”) each provide that shareholders shall not be subject to any personal liability for the acts or obligations of a Fund and that every written agreement, obligation or other undertaking of the Funds shall contain a provision to the effect that the shareholders are not personally liable thereunder. The Master Trust Agreements also provide that each Trust shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of a Fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of any shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his investment on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations.

RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
Russell Investment Funds
Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy
Effective Date: August 25, 2020
This Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) has been adopted by the joint Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of Russell Investment Company (“RIC”) and Russell Investment Funds (“RIF”) to apply to any and all engagements of the independent auditor with: (1) RIC and RIF, respectively, for audit and permissible non-audit services and (2) the Funds’ adviser or its control affiliates (collectively, “Adviser Entities”) for permissible non-audit services that relate directly to the Funds’ operations or financial reporting (“fund-related services”).2 The term “Fund” shall collectively refer to each series of RIC and RIF. 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
2 | 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. |
Exhibit B-1
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:
| • | | 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); |
| • | | Results in the auditor acting as management or an employee of the audit client; |
| • | | Places the auditor in the position of auditing its own work; or |
| • | | 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.3 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.
3 | 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. |
Exhibit B-2
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.
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.
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, 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
Exhibit B-3
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.
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.
Exhibit B-4
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.
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:
| • | | Bookkeeping or other services relating to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds |
| • | | Financial information system design and implementation |
| • | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports |
| • | | Internal audit outsourcing services |
| • | | Human resources services |
| • | | Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services |
| • | | Legal services unrelated to the audit |
| • | | 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.
Exhibit B-5
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 by RIC or RIF, as applicable, 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 RIC or RIF, as applicable, 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).
Exhibit B-6
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 “RIC & RIF 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 RIC and RIF 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 RIC or RIF.
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 RIC, RIF, 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.

RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY (“RIC”)
AND
RUSSELL INVESTMENT FUNDS (“RIF”)
NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER
Nominating and Governance Committee Membership
The Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) shall be composed entirely of Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested” persons of Russell Investment Company (“RIC”) or Russell Investment Funds (“RIF”) as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).
Board Nominations and Functions
1. | The Committee shall identify individuals and make nominations to the RIC and RIF Boards of Trustees (the “Board”) for Trustee membership on the Board. The Committee shall evaluate candidates’ qualifications for Board membership and, in the case of Independent Trustee candidates, their independence from Russell Investment Management, LLC (“RIM”), RIC and RIF’s investment manager, and from sub-advisors to RIC and RIF’s portfolios (“money managers��) and other principal service providers. In evaluating all candidates for membership on the Board, the Committee should consider, among other factors that it may deem relevant: |
| • | | whether or not the person is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Trustee; |
| • | | whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee; |
| • | | the contribution which the person may be expected to make to the Board and RIC and RIF, with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, board experience, education, diversity and such other factors as the Committee, in its sole judgment, may consider relevant; and |
| • | | the character and integrity of the person. |
In evaluating Independent Trustee candidates, the Committee should also consider, among other factors that it may deem relevant:
| • | | whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act; |
| • | | whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with RIC and RIF management, RIM, any money manager or any other principal RIC and RIF service providers or their affiliates; |
Exhibit C-1
| • | | whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes; and |
| • | | whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of RIC and RIF’s retirement policies. |
After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as an Independent Trustee, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the Board for its consideration.
2. | The Committee shall supervise an annual assessment by Trustees, which assessment shall take into account such factors as the Committee may deem appropriate. The results of the assessment shall be summarized and presented to the Board for consideration as to any appropriate actions. |
3. | The Committee shall periodically review the composition of the Board to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with different backgrounds or skill sets from those already on the Board. |
4. | The Committee shall periodically review Independent Trustee compensation and shall recommend any appropriate changes to the Independent Trustees as a group. |
Committee Nominations and Functions
1. | The Committee shall make nominations to the Board for membership on all committees of the Board and shall review committee assignments at least annually. |
2. | The Committee shall review as necessary the responsibilities of any committees of the Board, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees of the Board, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized. The Committee shall make recommendations for any such action to the Board. |
Independent Trustee Education
1. | The Committee shall coordinate with Fund management regarding an orientation program for newly-elected Independent Trustees designed to familiarize such Independent Trustees with the business and regulation of registered investment companies generally; the respective roles of RIM, the Board and the Independent Trustees in the business and affairs of RIC and RIF; and such other matters as the Committee, in its sole judgment, shall deem appropriate. |
3. | The Committee shall establish policies and practices with respect to Independent Trustee attendance at industry conferences and events. |
Exhibit C-2
Other Powers and Responsibilities
1. | The Committee shall monitor the performance of legal counsel employed by RIC and RIF and the Independent Trustees, and shall be responsible for the supervision of counsel for the Independent Trustees. |
2. | The Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify Trustee candidates, including the sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms. |
3. | The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the appropriate portfolio(s) of RIC and RIF. |
4. | The Committee may request, and RIC and RIF’s management shall provide, such information and analyses and access to RIC and RIF’s officers, agents, representatives and service providers, including RIM, as shall be reasonably necessary for the Committee to carry out its responsibilities. |
5. | The authority, powers and rights of the Committee as described in this Charter are not intended and shall not operate to reduce, restrict or limit in any manner whatsoever the authority, powers and rights which are granted to the Board and Committees thereof, including the Committee, under RIC’s and RIF’s Master Trust Agreements or Bylaws. In the event of any inconsistency between this Charter and any of such organizational documents, the provisions of the latter shall be given precedence. |
6. | The Committee shall meet at least annually and is empowered to hold special meetings, as circumstances require, and shall conduct its meetings and take any and all actions in accordance with the provisions of the Master Trust Agreement and Bylaws of each Trust. |
7. | The Board initially considered and adopted this Charter on August 20, 2001. The Committee shall review this Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the Board. |
