Unconstrained Bond Fund

Flexible bond market exposure with credit risk and drawdown mitigation.

Why unconstrained investing?

Unconstrained bond investing strategies offer investors full-spectrum access to the bond market (without having to rely on a benchmark) and use diversification to mitigate drawdowns. They are well positioned to protect funding levels or to complement existing Multi-Asset Credit and Multi-Asset Growth allocations.

Why Russell Investments?

The Fund invests primarily in short-dated BB-rated 1-5 year credit holdings to generate yield. Our approach diversifies widely across non-correlated assets and strategies, using flexibility to enhance returns by rotating into non-core credit and other markets, as and when opportunities arise.
