Russell Adds Risk Management Diversity to Bond Fund

(Cont...)

Colchester Global Investors Limited also was assigned 7.5% of the fund. Colchester’s top-down macro approach emphasizes going long and short various currency and country bonds, primarily sovereign non-U.S. bonds and currencies. Other assignments in the fund, by contrast, are more focused on U.S. bonds and tend to seek value through issue selection and use of riskier “spread sectors” such as corporate, high yield and mortgage strategies.  

“We believe diversification continues to be the most powerful tool for risk management amid ongoing volatile markets,” said Phill Rogerson, managing director for consulting and product in Russell’s adviser-sold business. “These new fixed-income assignments are a pro-active reaction to current conditions in credit markets and, based on our research, these best-of-breed global investment managers offer additional insights and strategies to uncover value and manage for risk.”
