An active ETF, or actively managed exchange-traded fund. is a type of investment fund that is managed by a team of professionals who actively select and manage the securities within the fund. Unlike passive ETFs, which track a specific index. active ETFs aim to outperform their benchmarks by making strategic investment decisions based on market conditions and research.

Similar to active mutual fund investing, the risks of active ETF investing may include underperformance or loss of invested capital due to market volatility, economic downturns. or manager decisions. Additionally. investors should consider the follow ng risks when trading ETFs on an exchange:
lntraday Price Volatility: The market prices of shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in a fund's NAV, the intra-day value of a fund's holdings, and supply and demand for shares. Russell Investments cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. An investor may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than a fund's NAV per share during periods when there is a significant premium or discount.
Trading Volume/Liquidity: The market price of shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a "bid-ask spread" charged by the market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. The spread of a fund's shares varies over time based on the fund·s trading volume and market liquidity and may increase if the fund's trading volume, the spread of the fund's underlying securities, or market liquidity decrease.
A multi-manager approach can provide diversification of investment strategies, styles and managers in a single fund, with access to insights from specialist money managers, and ongoing professional oversight.
Russell Investments' approach involves continually researching investment strategies and managers from around the world, seeking to determine the best combination of active managers and investment styles for the portfolio. Each manager strategy is chosen to serve a specific purpose in the portfolio. Over time, adjustments may be made to ensure the portfolio remains aligned with objectives.
