About RFAAX
Russell Investments Investment Grade Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in investment-grade fixed-income securities. Its primary purpose is to generate current income while preserving capital by investing at least 80% of its assets in high-quality U.S. bonds, including government, corporate, and securitized debt instruments. The fund targets an average weighted maturity that typically aligns with the broader U.S. bond market, making it suitable for investors seeking moderate interest-rate risk and diversification away from equities. Notable features include a broad portfolio of over 800 securities and regular monthly dividend payouts, supporting a steady cash flow for investors. With a focus on intermediate-term bonds, the fund maintains a portfolio duration around six years and reflects exposure to sectors such as U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade corporates. Managed by Russell Investments, this fund is often used as a core fixed-income holding within diversified investment strategies, given its emphasis on credit quality and role as a potential stabilizer during equity market volatility.
