Understanding Active ETFs

Why investors are putting active ETFs in their toolkit:

Transparency

Active ETFs trade intraday on an exchange providing better liquidity and a clear picture of portfolio holdings.

Tax Efficiency

An Active ETF reduces capital gains taxes and redeems in kind to avoid selling shares on the open market.

Low Cost

Active ETFs, on average, have lower fees than traditional mutual funds, often allowing investors to keep more of their returns.*

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURES

Russell Investments Exchange Traded Fund objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be carefully considered before investing. A summary prospectus, if available, or a prospectus containing this and other important information can be obtained by calling 800-787-7354 or by visiting the prospectus and reports page to download one. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

ETF investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their net asset value (“NAV”) only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only in the secondary market at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The investment styles employed by a Fund’s money managers may not be complementary. This concentration may be beneficial or detrimental to a Fund’s performance depending upon the performance of those securities and the overall economic environment. The multi-manager approach could increase a Fund’s portfolio turnover rates which may result in higher levels of realized capital gains or losses with respect to a Fund’s portfolio securities, higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.

Unlike passively managed ETFs, actively managed ETFs do not attempt to track or replicate an index. The Fund’s investment decisions are made at the discretion of its portfolio managers, and there is no guarantee that the strategies used will be successful. The Fund may underperform other funds with similar investment objectives, including those that track an index.
