The common stocks held by the Trust may include the common stocks of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including issuers located in emerging markets countries. As of the date of deposit, the Trust will invest at least 40% of its assets in the securities of non-U.S. companies located in at least three different countries, as defined by Russell Investments. The Trust will invest in securities of companies with small-, mid- and large market capitalization.

As a result of this strategy, the Trust invests significantly in the consumer discretionary sector, financials sector and telecommunications services sector. |
Selection CriteriaThe Trust’s portfolio was constructed and the securities were selected fourteen business days prior to the Trust’s initial date of deposit (the “Security Selection Date”) using the following security selection rules: 1. Initial Universe: Begin with the Index as of the Security Selection Date. 2. Define Sub-Universe: Reduce the initial universe of securities to a sub-universe by excluding securities per the following criteria:
3. Rank and screen on Fundamentals: Rank the remaining universe of securities from highest to lowest by the factors listed below. Each ranking is determined as of the Security Selection Date using the most recently reported information from S&P Compustat. Every company identified in the sub-universe is ranked highest to lowest for each of the following financial metrics:
4. Selection: The remaining companies are then ranked by dividend yield, as defined above. The highest ranked stocks are selected for the portfolio in order of the highest rank to lowest. Select the top 25 securities and apply an equal weight to each security. Due to the fluctuating nature of security prices, the weighting of an individual security or sector in the Trust portfolio may change after the Security Selection Date. The portfolio is not managed and will not be rebalanced to track changes in the Index. INDEX DEFINITION: The S&P Global BMI Index. is a rules-based index designed to measure global stock market performance. The index covers all publicly listed equities with float-adjusted market values of $100 million or more and annual dollar value traded of at least $50 million in all included countries. Indices are statistical composites and their returns do not include payment of any sales charges or fees an investor would pay to purchase the securities they represent. Such costs would lower performance. The S&P Global BMI Index is unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in the S&P Global BMI Index. The historical performance of the S&P Global BMI Index is shown for illustrative purposes only; it is not meant to forecast, imply or guarantee the future performance of any particular investment or the trust, which will vary. Securities in which the trust invests may differ from those in the S&P Global BMI Index. The trust will not try to replicate the performance of these indices and will not necessarily invest any substantial portion of its assets in securities in the S&P Global BMI Index. There is no guarantee that the perceived intrinsic value of a security will be realized. |
