RUSSELL INVESTMENTS MULTI-FACTOR US EQUITY POOL (CAD) RQUS.CA

Russell Investments Multi-Factor US Equity Pool is an actively managed equity fund whose objective is to deliver long-term capital growth by investing primarily in shares of U.S. companies.

The fund's strategy employs a research-driven multi-factor approach, selecting securities based on factors such as value, momentum, quality, low volatility, growth and small-capitalization. The fund invests principally in equity securities of U.S. issuers across the market capitalization spectrum (large, medium and small caps), diversifying across factors rather than relying on a single style.

It may use derivatives for purposes such as managing currency exposure, and has some flexibility to invest in other mutual funds or ETFs when beneficial. The pool is provided by Russell Investments through its Canadian fund line-up (offered as mutual fund units and ETF series in certain share classes).

It is not designed to replicate a specific benchmark index; instead it is actively managed with the goal of outperforming general U.S. equity markets while controlling risk through diversified factor exposures.
