Russell Investments Launches Multisector Bond ETF (RINK), Expanding Its Active ETF Lineup

Russell Investments Multisector Bond ETF gives wealth managers a new way to access a broad range of global credit opportunities in one actively managed fund

Seattle, 2026-10-28 – Russell Investments today announced the launch of the Russell Investments Multisector Bond ETF (NYSE Arca and Texas: RINK), an actively managed fund that gives wealth managers access to a broad range of global credit sectors in a single ticker. RINK joins Russell Investments Core Plus Bond ETF (BD) as the second fixed income strategy in Russell Investments’ active ETF lineup, which now includes eight ETFs across equity, real estate and fixed income in the U.S.

For wealth managers, the fixed income conversation is changing. Clients still need income, but they also need portfolios built to navigate shifting markets and a wider range of investment opportunities. RINK brings those opportunities together, investing across debt, high yield, leveraged loans, securitized credit and corporate bonds in a single actively managed ETF.

“Clients want their bond portfolios to provide income today and help them pursue their longer-term goals,” said Emily Steinbarth, Co-Head of North America AIS at Russell Investments. “Multi-sector fixed income can be a compelling way to pursue both, but navigating the range of opportunities and risks takes expertise. RINK gives advisors access to a broader range of fixed income sectors, with active management that can shift across them as opportunities and risks evolve.”

A broader toolkit for changing credit markets

RINK draws on Russell Investments’ manager research, capital markets and portfolio construction capabilities to invest across credit sectors. Its multisector approach is designed to adapt as market conditions and opportunities evolve, giving wealth managers another tool to consider when shaping fixed income allocations for clients.

RINK joins Russell Investments’ growing suite of actively managed ETFs, including BD its core plus bond ETF, bringing complementary security selection strategies and specialist manager expertise together within a single investment. Since launching its active ETF suite in 2025, the firm has expanded the platform across equity, real estate and fixed income strategies.

“Navigating different fixed income markets in today’s environment can be challenging,” said Shweta Narasimhadevara, Chief Solutions Officer at Russell Investments. “RINK gives investors an actively managed solution in a single ticker to access a broad range of global credit sectors from securitized through corporates to emerging market debt, while Russell Investments adjusts the mix as market and credit opportunities change.”

Important Information
Bond investors should carefully consider risks such as interest rate, credit, default and duration risks. Greater risk, such as increased volatility, limited liquidity, prepayment, non-payment and increased default risk, is inherent in portfolios that invest in high yield ("junk") bonds or mortgage-backed securities, especially mortgage-backed securities with exposure to sub-prime mortgages. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall.

Russell Investments Exchange Traded Funds 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. 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.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.

Diversification and multi-asset solutions do not assure a profit and do not protect against loss in declining markets.

Russell Investments Exchange Traded Funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
