      IMPORTANT INFORMATION

      Personalized Managed Accounts (“PMA”) is a program of Russell Investment Management, LLC (RIM) and offers customized portfolio management services.

      Each Personalized Separately Managed Account is a product of Russell Investment Management, LLC (”RIM”) and offered through RIM’s Personalized Managed Accounts (“PMA”) program. It represents a model portfolio provided by RIM. For active SMAs, it reflects a composite of third-party investment advisors selected by RIM. When the model is implemented, PMA is a separately managed account program of individually owned securities that can be tailored to meet investor’s investment objectives. RIM offers diversified, single or multi-asset managed accounts that can be customized to the investor’s investment objectives, circumstances and preferences, such as (but not limited to), market exposure, risk management, tax management, category and theme-based restrictions, and return objectives. Excluding any allocations to pooled investment vehicles, if any, each investor’s account is managed separately from other investor accounts, allowing for a personalized experience to deliver unique investment outcomes.

      Diversification and strategic asset allocation do not assure a profit or guarantee against loss in declining markets.

      Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk. There are no assurances that the objectives stated in this material will be met. Investment in one or more separately managed accounts is not a complete investment program and involves risk; principal loss is possible. The principal value of the account is not guaranteed at any time.

      The decision to use PMA in investors’ portfolios and related investment advice are provided through financial advisors and other financial intermediaries that are independent of RIM and its affiliates. You should consult their financial advisor to determine which services and programs are appropriate to meet their investment objectives.
