What is the Trustee Exchange?


Russell Investments Trustee Exchange is a new forum designed to bring trustees together to connect, share insights and learn from peers across the industry.

Through a series of webinars, content, research and exclusive dinners, the Trustee Exchange will offer practical perspectives, thoughtful discussion, and valuable opportunities to engage with fellow trustees on the key challenges and opportunities shaping our work today.

Flexibility: A Strategy Built for Choice

Held under Chatham House rules, the lunches create a trusted environment for open and candid conversation, allowing you to share insights and learn from others’ experiences with confidence.

As UK DB schemes refine their long-term strategy, the ability to adapt has never been more important. Join Russell Investments as we explore how we're building flexible portfolios that can pivot between different endgame options as scheme circumstances evolve — including insurance, consolidation and run-on — helping trustees preserve choice and navigate an increasingly uncertain investment landscape
