About RLESX
Russell Investments U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund Class S is an actively managed mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small-capitalization U.S. equities. The fund targets companies within or similar in size to those in the Russell 2000 Index, encompassing a blend of value and growth stocks from diversified sectors across the U.S. economy. Employing a multi-manager approach, the fund leverages both fundamental and quantitative strategies through a variety of external asset managers, overseen and dynamically allocated by Russell Investment Management, LLC. This structure aims to capture diverse market perspectives and manage risk through broad diversification, with over 1,100 individual holdings and a relatively low concentration in its top ten positions. The fund’s sector allocation often emphasizes segments like healthcare, consumer cyclical, utilities, and energy, reflecting the inherently dynamic nature of the small-cap universe. With an investment policy of allocating at least 80% of assets to small-cap stocks, the fund serves investors seeking exposure to the growth potential and risk characteristics associated with the lower end of the U.S. equity market capitalization spectrum.
