Securities are denominated principally in foreign currencies and are typically held outside the U.S. The Fund employs a multi-style (growth, market-oriented and value) and multi-manager approach whereby portions of the fund are allocated to different money managers who employ distinct styles.
[7] | The Russell Fixed Income I Fund is designed to provide current income and capital appreciation through a variety of diversified strategies. The Fund seeks favorable returns comparable to the broad fixed income market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund primarily invests in fixed income securities representing diverse sectors and maturities. Advisors use diversified strategies including sector rotation, modest interest rate timing, security selection and tactical use of high yield and emerging market bonds. It is actively managed with multiple advisors employing distinct yet complementary strategies and different technologies to insure prudent diversification over a broad spectrum of investments.
[8] | The Target Duration LDI Fixed Income Funds seek to outperform their respective Barclays-Russell LDI Indexes over a full market cycle. These Funds invest primarily in investment grade corporate bonds that closely match those found in discount curves used to value U.S. pension liabilities. They seek to provide additional incremental return through modest interest rate timing, security selection and tactical use of non-credit sectors. Generally for use in combination with other bond funds to gain additional credit exposure, with the goal of reducing the mismatch between a plan's assets and liabilities.
[9] | The Russell Long Duration Fixed Income Fund seeks to outperform the Barclays Capital Long Credit Index over a full market cycle. The fund seeks to provide current income, and as a secondary objective, capital appreciation through diversified strategies including sector rotation, modest interest rate timing, security selection and tactical use of high yield and emerging market bonds. The fund will generally be used in combination with other bond funds, with the goal of reducing the mismatch between a plan's assets and liabilities. In January 2015, the Trustee of the plan sold all of the assets of this fund. The proceeds were invested in the LDI Target funds and the STRIPS funds as of the end of 2015.
[10] | The STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) Funds seek to provide duration and Treasury exposure by investing in an optimized subset of the STRIPS universe with a similar duration profile as the Barclays U.S. Treasury STRIPS 10-11 year, 16-16 year or 28-29 year Index. These passively managed funds are generally used with other bond funds to add additional duration to the asset portfolio. This will help reduce the mismatch between a plan's assets and liabilities.
