Russell Investment Company

Money Market Funds

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. This Quarterly Report reports on three of these Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds’ portfolio investments are valued using the amortized cost method (other than repurchase agreements which are valued at specific identified cost). Under this method, a portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost and thereafter a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium is assumed. While amortized cost provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods when the value of an instrument is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the instrument.

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis, which in most instances is the same as the settlement date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. The US Government Money Market Fund currently invests primarily in repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an agreement under which the Fund acquires a fixed income security (generally issued by the US government or an agency thereof, a banker’s acceptance or a certificate of deposit) from a commercial bank, broker or dealer and simultaneously agrees to resell such security to the seller at an agreed upon price and date (normally the next business day). The resale price reflects an agreed upon interest rate effective for the period the security is held by the Fund and is unrelated to the interest rate on the security. The securities acquired by the Fund constitute collateral for the repurchase obligation. In these transactions, the securities acquired by the Fund (including accrued interest earned thereon) must have a total value in excess of the value of the repurchase agreement and must be held by a custodian bank until repurchased. In addition, Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”) will monitor the Fund’s repurchase agreement transactions generally and will evaluate the creditworthiness of any bank, broker or dealer party to a repurchase agreement with the Fund. Subject to the overall limitations described in “Restricted Securities”, a Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (taken at current market value) in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. One risk is the seller’s ability to pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the repurchase date. If the seller defaults, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral, which would reduce the amount realized thereon. If the seller seeks relief under bankruptcy laws, the disposition of the collateral may be delayed or limited. For example, if the other party to the agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization under bankruptcy or other laws, a court may determine that the underlying securities are collateral for a loan by the Fund not within its

control and therefore the realization by the Fund on such collateral may be automatically stayed. Finally, it is possible that the Fund may not be able to substantiate its interest in the underlying securities and may be deemed an unsecured creditor of the other party to the agreement.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

3.   Related Parties

The Investment Company Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., cash awaiting investment or cash held to meet redemption requests or to pay expenses) in the Investment Company’s Money Market Fund and US Government Money Market Fund. As of July 31, 2007, $2,727,836,002 and $2,107,000. respectively, represents investment by other Investment Company Funds not presented herein and investments by the Russell Investment Funds in the Funds. The Russell Investment Funds employ the same investment adviser as RIC. In addition, a portion of the collateral received from the Investment Company’s securities lending program in the amount of $1,000,000,000 is invested in the RIC Money Market Fund.

 

4.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 10% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

The following table lists restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid. The following table does not include (1) securities deemed liquid by RIMCo or a money manager pursuant to Board approved policies and procedures or (2) illiquid securities that are not restricted securities as designated on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. This Quarterly Report reports on one of these Funds (the “Fund”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

The Fund has an Offering Period, a Guarantee Period and a Post Guarantee Period. Shares of the Fund were offered during the Offering Period but are not offered during the Guarantee Period, except in connection with reinvestment of distributions and dividends. During the Guarantee Period, the Fund seeks some capital growth, while seeking to preserve principal. As of July 31, 2007, the Fund’s allocation to equity securities was approximately 38% and the Fund’s allocation to fixed income securities was approximately 55% of total net assets. Provided that all dividends and distributions received from the Fund have been reinvested and no shares have been redeemed by a shareholder, the Fund guarantees that the amount distributed, if any, to each shareholder at the end of the Guarantee Period will be no less than the value of that shareholder’s investment as of the inception of the Guarantee Period less certain expenses. Certain expenses which are not covered by the Expense Limitation Agreement, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, will reduce the Guarantee Amount. The Fund’s Guarantee is backed by an unconditional and irrevocable financial guarantee from Ambac Assurance Corporation (“Ambac”), a financial guarantor and an operating subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group, Inc., pursuant to a financial guarantee insurance policy issued by Ambac for the benefit of the shareholders of the Fund. The Fund will pay to Ambac a fee equal to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Fund during the Guarantee Period for providing the financial guarantee insurance policy. If the value of a shareholder’s account is less than the Guaranteed Amount on the Guarantee Maturity Date, the Fund will be unable to meet its obligations under the Guarantee. If the Fund is unable to meet its obligations under the Guarantee on the Guarantee Maturity Date, the insurance policy requires Ambac to pay the Fund an amount sufficient to ensure that all shareholders would be able to redeem their shares on the Guarantee Maturity Date for an amount equal to their respective Guaranteed Amounts on the Guarantee Maturity Date. During the Post Guarantee Period, which will commence immediately following the Guarantee Period, the Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in common stocks and other equity securities. The following table presents the time periods of the Fund’s three phases:

 

Offering Period

   01/21/03 - 02/27/03

Guarantee Period

   03/03/03 - 03/03/08

Post Guarantee Period Commencement

   03/04/08

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Fund values portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations.

Ordinarily, the Fund values each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

   

US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale price;

 

   

US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

Notes to Quarterly Report   7


Table of Contents

Russell Investment Company

Russell Multi-Manager Principal Protected Fund

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

   

Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

   

Municipal bonds, US bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

   

Futures: Settlement price.

 

   

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

   

Short-term investments purchased by the Fund and maturing within 60 days of the date of purchase are valued at “amortized cost” unless the Board of Trustees determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.

 

   

The value of swap agreements is equal to the Fund’s obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Fund will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange in which the security is traded. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market on which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Fund’s Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Fund shares and daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Fund’s net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for the Fund when the Fund deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect the Fund’s net asset value. Investments in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosure.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager within a particular Fund.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.

Derivatives

To the extent permitted by the investment objectives, restrictions and policies set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Fund may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps, forwards, structured notes and stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Fund in meeting its investment strategies.

The Fund typically uses derivatives in three ways: exposing cash reserves to markets, hedging and return enhancement. The Fund may pursue its strategy of being fully invested by exposing cash reserves to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is intended to cause the Fund to perform as though cash reserves were actually invested in those markets. Hedging is also used by the Fund to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, the Fund may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist the Fund in meeting its investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Options

The Fund may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market.

When the Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.

If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.

The Fund’s use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Futures Contracts

The Fund utilizes futures contracts to manage allocations between equity and fixed-income weightings. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Fund’s exposure to market risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.

Swap Agreements

The Fund may enter into index swap agreements as an additional hedging strategy for cash reserves held by the Fund or to effect investment transactions consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments. The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e. a specified dollar amount that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index). Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability basis, depending on whether they are hedging their assets or their liabilities, and will usually enter into interest rate swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. When the Fund engages in an interest rate swap, it exchanges its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

The Fund expects to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of their portfolios or to protect against any increase in the price of securities they anticipate purchasing at a later date. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations over their entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid high-grade debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian. To the extent that the Fund enters into interest rate swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the full amount of the Fund’s obligations, if any, with respect to such interest rate swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

3.   Related Parties

The Fund is permitted to invest its cash reserves (i.e., cash awaiting investment or cash held to meet redemption requests or to pay expenses) in the Investment Company’s Money Market Fund and US Government Money Market Fund (collectively the “Money Market Funds”) (two of the Funds of the Investment Company not presented herein). As of July 31, 2007, $113,000 of the RIC Money Market Fund’s net assets represents investments by this Fund and $2,727,723,002 represents the investment by other RIC Funds not presented herein. As of July 31, 2007, $2,107,000 of the RIC US Government Money Market Fund’s net assets represents investment by this Fund.

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on nine of these Funds (the “Funds”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

Each of the Funds listed in the table below allocates its assets by investing in a combination of Class S shares of other Russell Investment Company Funds (the “Underlying Funds”). Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”), the Funds’ investment adviser, may modify the target asset allocation for any Fund and/or the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. From time to time, each Fund may adjust its investments within set limits based on RIMCo’s outlook for the economy, financial markets generally and relative market valuation of the asset classes represented by each Underlying Fund. Additionally, each Fund may deviate from set limits when, in RIMCo’s opinion, it is necessary to do so to pursue the Fund’s investment objective. In the future, the Funds may also invest in other funds which are not currently Underlying Funds.

Each of the Funds listed in the table below allocates its assets by investing in a combination of Class S shares of the Underlying Funds. The allocation of these Funds’ assets to the Underlying Funds in which it invests will become more conservative over time. Currently, RIMCo will manage each Fund according to its target asset allocation strategy and will not trade actively among Underlying Funds or attempt to capture short-term market opportunities. However, from time to time, RIMCo expects to modify the target asset allocation for the Funds and/or the Underlying Funds in which a Fund invests. In addition, the Funds may in the future invest in other funds which are not currently Underlying Funds.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value their portfolio securities, the shares of the Underlying Funds, at the current net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund.

The Underlying Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Money market fund securities are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, as are debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the Securities Valuation Procedures to RIMCo.

Ordinarily, the Underlying Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Underlying Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

   

US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale;

 

   

US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

Notes to Quarterly Report   13


Table of Contents

LifePoints® Funds

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

   

Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

   

Municipal bonds, US bonds, Eurobonds/foreign bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

   

Futures: Settlement price.

 

   

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

   

The value of swap agreements is equal to the Funds’ obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

 

   

Equity securities traded on a national securities foreign exchange or an over the counter market are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price of the primary exchange on which the security is traded.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Underlying Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Fair Value Procedures may involve subjective judgments as to the fair value of securities. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market on which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Funds’ Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by an Underlying Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Underlying Fund shares and daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Underlying Funds’ net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Underlying Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Underlying Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for each applicable Underlying Fund (and each Fund which invests in such Underlying Fund) when the Underlying Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Underlying Fund’s net asset value. Underlying Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. Underlying Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. Underlying Funds that invest in low rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; foreign market holidays if on a daily basis, Fund exposure exceeds 20% in aggregate (all closed markets combined); a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the net asset value of a Fund’s portfolio that includes an Underlying Fund which invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosure.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost.

Investment Income

Distributions of income and capital gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on one of these Funds (the “Fund”). The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

The Fund allocates its assets by investing in a combination of Class S shares of other of the Investment Company’s Funds (the “Underlying Funds”). Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”), the Fund’s investment adviser, may modify the target asset allocation for the Fund and/or the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. From time to time, the Fund may adjust its investments within set limits based on RIMCo’s outlook for the economy, financial markets generally and relative market valuation of the asset classes represented by each Underlying Fund. Additionally, the Fund may deviate from set limits when, in RIMCo’s opinion, it is necessary to do so to pursue the Fund’s investment objective. In the future, the Fund may also invest in other funds which are not currently Underlying Funds.

The Underlying Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services.

Ordinarily, the Underlying Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Underlying Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on seven of these Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Money market fund securities are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, as are debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the Securities Valuation Procedures to Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”).

Ordinarily, the Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

   

US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale price;

 

   

US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

 

   

Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

   

Municipal bonds, US bonds, Eurobonds/foreign bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

   

Futures: Settlement price.

 

   

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

   

The value of swap agreements are equal to the Funds’ obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

 

   

Equity securities traded on a national securities foreign exchange or an over the counter market are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price of the primary exchange on which the security is traded.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Fair Value Procedures may involve subjective judgments as to the fair value of securities. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Fund’s Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Fund shares and the daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Funds’ net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value. RIC Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. RIC Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. RIC Funds that invest in low rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; foreign market holidays if on a daily basis, Fund exposure exceeds 20% in aggregate (all closed markets combined); a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the net asset value of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosure.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager within a particular Fund.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

 

  (a) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

 

  (b) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates of such transactions.

Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at year-end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.

Derivatives

To the extent permitted by the investment objectives, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps, swaptions, forwards, structured notes and stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash reserves to markets, hedging and return enhancement. The Funds may pursue their strategy to be fully invested by exposing cash reserves in a Fund to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is intended to cause the Funds to perform as though their cash reserves were actually invested in those markets. Hedging is also used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

In connection with investment transactions consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). The International Securities and Global Equity Funds may enter into forward foreign currency overlays on liquidity reserve balances. Additionally, from time to time the International Securities, Global Equity, Multistrategy Bond and Diversified Bond Funds may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at July 31, 2007 are presented on the Schedule of Investments for the applicable Funds.

Forward Commitments

The Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund’s records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction.

Loan Agreements

The Diversified Bond Fund and Multistrategy Bond Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. At the period ended July 31, 2007, there were no unfunded loan commitments in the Diversified Bond Fund. For the Multistrategy Bond Fund, unfunded loan commitments total $3,104,497.

Options

The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve balances.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.

Whether an option which the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Futures Contracts

The Funds presented herein may invest in futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index futures contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. As of July 31, 2007, the International Securities Fund and the Multistrategy Bond Fund had cash collateral balances of $11,236,565 and $3,547,627 respectively in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into several different types of agreements including interest rate, index, credit default and currency swaps.

The Funds may enter into index swap agreements as an additional hedging strategy for cash reserves held by those Funds or to effect investment transactions consistent with these Funds’ investment objectives and strategies. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments. The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e. a specified dollar amount that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index). Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Funds are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, the Funds do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

The Diversified Bond, Multistrategy Bond, Global Equity and International Securities Funds may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether it is hedging its assets or its liabilities, and will usually enter

into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Funds receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. When the Funds engage in a swap, it exchanges its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement and can be customized to meet each party’s needs and involves the exchange of a fixed payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Currency swaps are an agreement where two parties exchange specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by a series of interest payments that are exchanged based on the principal cash flow. At maturity the principal amounts are exchanged back. Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk (the possibility that an issuer will default on their obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party to another. The lender faces the credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments.

The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Funds’ obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid high-grade debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian. To the extent that the Funds enter into swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the full amount of the Funds’ obligations, if any, with respect to such interest rate swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.

Short Sales

The Quantitative Equity Fund may enter into short sale transactions. In a short sale, the seller sells a security that it does not own, typically a security borrowed from a broker or dealer. Because the seller remains liable to return the underlying security that it borrowed from the broker or dealer, the seller must purchase the security prior to the date on which delivery to the broker or dealer is required. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The making of short sales exposes the Fund to the risk of liability for the market value of the security that is sold (the amount of which liability increases as the market value of the underlying security increases), in addition to the costs associated with establishing, maintaining and closing out the short position.

Although the Fund’s potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. When the Fund makes a short sale, the Fund may use all or a portion of the cash proceeds of short sales to purchase additional securities or for any other permissible Fund purpose. To the extent necessary to meet collateral requirements, the Fund is required to pledge assets in a segregated account maintained by the Fund’s custodian for the benefit of the broker. The Fund also may use securities it owns to meet any such collateral obligations. a Fund replaces a borrowed security in connection with a short sale, the Fund will: (a) maintain daily a segregated account, containing cash, cash equivalents, or liquid marketable securities, at such a level that the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current requirement under Regulation T promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the authority of section 7 and 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (b) otherwise cover its short position in accordance with positions taken by the staff of the SEC (e.g., taking an offsetting long position in the security sold short.) As of July 31, 2007, $499,544,207 was held as collateral.

Investments in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations for the International Securities Fund and Global Equity Fund not typically associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Multistrategy Bond and Diversified Bond Funds may invest in mortgage or other asset-backed securities. Theses securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by a payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds

The Multistrategy Bond and Diversified Bond Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending

The Investment Company has a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The Fund receives cash (US currency), US Government or US Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral is invested by the securities lending agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds and other short-term investments that meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Cash collateral invested in money market funds is included in the Schedules of Investments. The collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the securities or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.

As of July 31, 2007, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan in the following funds was:

 

Funds    Non-Cash
Collateral Value
   Non-Cash Collateral Holding

Diversified Equity

   $     33,828,541    Pool of US Government Securities and corporate bonds

4.   Related Parties

The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., cash awaiting investment or cash held to meet redemption requests or to pay expenses) and also may invest a portion of the collateral received from the Investment Company’s securities lending program, in the Investment Company’s Money Market Fund. As of July 31, 2007, $1,451,582,846 of the Money Market Fund’s net assets represents investments by the Funds presented herein and $1,276,253,156 of the Money Market Funds’ net assets represents the investments of other RIC Funds not presented herein.

6.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

The following table lists restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid. The following table does not include (1) securities deemed liquid by RIMCo or a money manager pursuant to Board approved policies and procedures or (2) illiquid securities that are not restricted securities as designated on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Quarterly Report — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on six of these Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Money market fund securities are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, as are debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the Securities Valuation Procedures to Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”).

Ordinarily, the Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

  US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale price;

 

  US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

 

  Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

  Municipal bonds, US bonds, Eurobonds/foreign bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

  Futures: Settlement price.

 

  Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

  The value of swap agreements are equal to the Funds’ obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

 

  Equity securities traded on a national securities foreign exchange or an over the counter market are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price of the primary exchange on which the security is traded.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Fair Value Procedures may involve subjective judgments as to the fair value of securities. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Fund’s Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Fund shares and the daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Funds’ net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value. RIC Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. RIC Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. RIC Funds that invest in low rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; foreign market holidays if on a daily basis, Fund exposure exceeds 20% in aggregate (all closed markets combined); a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the net asset value of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosure.

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager within a particular Fund.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

 

  (a) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

 

  (b) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates of such transactions.

Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at year-end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.

Derivatives

To the extent permitted by the investment objectives, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps, swaptions, forwards, structured notes and stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash reserves to markets, hedging and return enhancement. The Funds may pursue their strategy to be fully invested by exposing cash reserves in a Fund to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is intended to cause the Funds to perform as though their cash reserves were actually invested in those markets. Hedging is also used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

In connection with investment transactions consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). The International Fund may enter into foreign currency forward overlays on liquidity reserve balances. Additionally, from time to time the International, Fixed Income I and Fixed Income III Funds may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at July 31, 2007 are presented on the Schedule of Investments for the applicable Funds.

Forward Commitments

Certain Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund’s records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction.

Loan Agreements

The Fixed Income I Fund and Fixed Income III Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. At the period ended July 31, 2007, there were no unfunded loan commitments in the Fixed Income I Fund. For the Fixed Income III Fund, unfunded loan commitments total $1,020,819.

Investments in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations for the International Fund not typically associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

Options

The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve balances.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.

Whether an option which the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure

to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Futures Contracts

The Funds presented herein may invest in futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index futures contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. As of July 31, 2007, the International Fund and the Fixed Income III Fund had cash collateral balances of $5,563,590 and $617,555 respectively in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into several different types of agreements including interest rate, index, credit default and currency swaps.

The Funds may enter into index swap agreements as an additional hedging strategy for cash reserves held by those Funds or to effect investment transactions consistent with these Funds’ investment objectives and strategies. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments. The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional

amount” (i.e. a specified dollar amount that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index). Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Funds are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, the Funds do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

The Fixed Income I, Fixed Income III and International Funds may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether it is hedging its assets or its liabilities, and will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. When a Fund engages in a swap, it exchanges its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement and can be customized to meet each party’s needs and involves the exchange of a fixed payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Currency swaps are an agreement where two parties exchange specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by a series of interest payments that are exchanged based on the principal cash flow. At maturity the principal amounts are exchanged back. Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk (the possibility that an issuer will default on their obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party to another. The lender faces the credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments.

The Funds expect to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Funds’ obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid high-grade debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian. To the extent that the Funds enter into swaps on other than a net basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the full amount of the Funds’ obligations, if any, with respect to such interest rate swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Funds will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.

Short Sales

The Equity Q Fund may enter into short sale transactions. In a short sale, the seller sells a security that it does not own, typically a security borrowed from a broker or dealer. Because the seller remains liable to return the underlying security that it borrowed from the broker or dealer, the seller must purchase the security prior to the date on which delivery to the broker or dealer is required. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The making of short sales exposes the Fund to the risk of liability for the market value of the security that is sold (the amount of which liability increases as the market value of the underlying security increases), in addition to the costs associated with establishing, maintaining and closing out the short position.

Although the Fund’s potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. When the Fund makes a short sale, the Fund may use all or a portion of the cash proceeds of short sales to purchase additional securities or for any other permissible Fund purpose. To the extent necessary to meet collateral requirements, the Fund is required to pledge assets in a segregated account maintained by the Fund’s custodian for the benefit of the broker. The Fund also may use securities it owns to meet any such collateral obligations. Until a Fund replaces a borrowed security in connection with a short sale, the Fund will: (a) maintain daily a segregated account, containing cash, cash equivalents, or liquid marketable securities, at such a level that the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current requirement under Regulation T promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the authority of section 7 and 8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (b) otherwise cover its short position in accordance with positions taken by the staff of the SEC (e.g., taking an offsetting long position in the security sold short). As of July 31, 2007, $199,656,900 was held as collateral.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Fixed Income I and Fixed Income III Funds may invest in mortgage or other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by a payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds

The Fixed Income I and Fixed Income III Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending

The Investment Company has a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The Fund receives cash (US currency), US Government or US Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral is invested by the securities lending agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds and other short-term investments that meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Cash collateral invested in money market funds is included in the Schedules of Investments. The collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the securities or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.

As of July 31, 2007, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan in the following funds was:

4.   Related Parties

The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., cash awaiting investment or cash held to meet redemption requests or to pay expenses), and also may invest a portion of the collateral received from the Investment Company’s securities lending program in the Investment Company’s Money Market Fund (one of the Funds of the Investment Company not presented herein). As of July 31, 2007, $887,099,402 of the Money Market Fund’s net assets represents investment by the Funds presented herein, and $1,840,736,600 represents investment of other RIC Funds not presented herein.

6.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

The following table lists restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid. The following table does not include (1) securities deemed liquid by RIMCo or a money manager pursuant to Board approved policies and procedures or (2) illiquid securities that are not restricted securities as designated on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

1.   Organization

Russell Investment Company (the “Investment Company” or “RIC”) is a series investment company with 35 different investment portfolios referred to as Funds. These financial statements report on eight of these Funds. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended and restated master trust agreement dated August 19, 2002. The Investment Company’s master trust agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value per share.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of this Quarterly Report. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds value portfolio securities according to Board-approved Securities Valuation Procedures, including Market Value Procedures, Fair Value Procedures and Pricing Services. Money market fund securities are priced using the amortized cost method of valuation, as are debt obligation securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase, unless the Board determines that amortized cost does not represent market value of short-term debt obligations. The Board has delegated the responsibility for administration of the Securities Valuation Procedures to Russell Investment Management Company (“RIMCo”).

Ordinarily, the Funds value each portfolio security based on market quotations provided by Pricing Services or alternative pricing services or dealers (when permitted by the Market Value Procedures). Generally, Fund securities are valued at the close of the market on which they are traded as follows:

 

  US listed equities; equity and fixed income options: Last sale price; last bid price if no last sale price;

 

  US over-the-counter equities: Official closing price; last bid price if no closing price;

 

  Listed ADRs/GDRs: Last sale price; last bid price if no sales;

 

  Municipal bonds, US bonds, Eurobonds/foreign bonds: Evaluated bid price; broker quote if no evaluated bid price;

 

  Futures: Settlement price.

 

  Investments in other mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share, calculated at 4 p.m. Eastern time or as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is earlier.

 

  The value of swap agreements are equal to the Funds’ obligation (or rights) under swap contracts which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the contracts based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the contracts.

 

  Equity securities traded on a national securities foreign exchange or an over the counter market are valued on the basis of the official closing price, or lacking the official closing price, at the last sale price of the primary exchange on which the security is traded.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or if subsequent events suggest that a market quotation is not reliable, the Funds will use the security’s fair value, as determined in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures. This generally means that equity securities and fixed income securities listed and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. The Fair Value Procedures may involve subjective judgments as to the fair value of securities. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Fund’s Board of Trustees believes reflects fair value. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated using normal pricing methods. Fair value pricing could also cause discrepancies between the daily movement of the value of Fund shares and the daily movement of the benchmark index if the index is valued using another pricing method.

This policy is intended to assure that the Funds’ net asset values fairly reflect security values as of the time of pricing. Events or circumstances affecting the values of Fund securities that occur between the closing of the principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of Fund shares is determined may be reflected in the calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Funds deem that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value. RIC Funds that invest primarily in frequently traded exchange listed securities will use fair value pricing in limited circumstances since reliable market quotations will often be readily available. RIC Funds that invest in foreign securities are likely to use fair value pricing more often since significant events may occur between the close of foreign markets and the time of pricing which would trigger fair value pricing of the foreign securities. RIC Funds that invest in low rated debt securities are also likely to use fair value pricing more often since the markets in which such securities are traded are generally thinner, more limited and less active than those for higher rated securities. Examples of events that could trigger fair value pricing of one or more securities are: a material market movement of the US securities market (defined in the Fair Value Procedures as the movement by any two of four major US Indexes greater than a certain percentage) or other significant event; foreign market holidays if on a daily basis, Fund exposure exceeds 20% in aggregate (all closed markets combined); a company development; a natural disaster; or an armed conflict.

Because foreign securities can trade on non-business days, the net asset value of a Fund’s portfolio that includes foreign securities may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem fund shares.

In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Funds financial statement disclosure.

Investment Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager within a particular Fund.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of the Funds are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

 

  (a) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

 

  (b) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates of such transactions.

Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations of the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.

Derivatives

To the extent permitted by the investment objectives, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They include options, futures, swaps, swaptions, forwards, structured notes and stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways: exposing cash reserves to markets, hedging and return enhancement. The Funds may pursue their strategy to be fully invested by exposing cash reserves in a Fund to the performance of appropriate markets by purchasing securities and/or derivatives. This is intended to cause the Funds to perform as though their cash reserves were actually invested in those markets. Hedging is also used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

In connection with investment transactions consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“contracts”). From time to time the Emerging Markets and Short Duration Bond Funds may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at July 31, 2007 are presented on the Schedule of Investments for the applicable Funds.

Forward Commitments

The Funds may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time consistent with a Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund’s records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled. A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction.

Options

The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. The Funds may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve balances.

When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.

Whether an option which the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a put option which

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.

The Funds’ use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may invest in futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index futures contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds’ exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the purchase price indicated in the futures contract. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. As of July 31, 2007, the Emerging Markets Fund had cash collateral balance of $4,700,000 in connection with futures contracts purchased (sold).

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into several different types of agreements including interest rate, index, credit default and currency swaps.

The Funds may enter into index swap agreements as an additional hedging strategy for cash reserves held by those Funds or to effect investment transactions consistent with these Funds’ investment objectives and strategies. Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, the two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments or instruments. The returns to be exchanged between the parties are calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e. a specified dollar amount that is hypothetically invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index). Amounts paid to and received from the swap counterparties representing capital appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities and accrued interest expense and interest income are recorded as net realized gain (loss). The Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

The Short Duration Bond Fund may enter into swap agreements, on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether it is hedging its assets or its liabilities, and will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. When the Fund engages in a swap, it exchanges its obligations to pay or rights to receive payments for the obligations or rights to receive payments of another party (i.e., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments).

Interest rate swaps are a counterparty agreement and can be customized to meet each party’s needs and involves the exchange of a fixed payment per period for a payment that is not fixed. Currency swaps are an agreement where two parties exchange specified amounts of different currencies which are followed by a series of interest payments that are exchanged based on the principal cash flow. At maturity the principal amounts are exchanged back. Credit default swaps are a counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk (the possibility that an issuer will default on their obligation by failing to pay principal or interest in a timely manner) from one party to another. The lender faces the credit risk from a third party and the counterparty in the swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange for regular periodic payments.

The Fund expects to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap will be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid high-grade debt securities having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian. To the extent that the Fund enters into swaps on other than a net

basis, the amount maintained in a segregated account will be the full amount of the Fund’s obligations, if any, with respect to such interest rate swaps, accrued on a daily basis. If there is a default by the other party to such a transaction, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreement related to the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become relatively liquid.

Investments in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations for the Emerging Markets Fund not typically associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

Certain Funds may invest in mortgage or other asset-backed securities. Theses securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by a payable from, mortgage loans on real property. The value of some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

One type of SMBS has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds

Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Securities Lending

The Investment Company has a securities lending program whereby each Fund can loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The Fund receives cash (US currency), US Government or US Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral is invested by the securities lending agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds and other short-term investments that meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Cash collateral invested in money market funds is included in the Schedules of Investments. The collateral received is recorded on a lending Fund’s statement of assets and liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.

Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and State Street and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders’ fees, which are divided between the Fund and State Street and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. All collateral received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund the next day. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the securities or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.

As of July 31, 2007, the non-cash collateral received for the securities on loan in the following funds was:

6.   Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are subject to contractual limitations on resale, are often issued in private placement transactions, and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The most common types of restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Act and commercial paper sold under Section 4(2) of the Act.

A Fund may invest a portion of its net assets not to exceed 15% in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are securities that may not be readily marketable, and that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which the Fund has valued the securities. Restricted securities are generally considered to be illiquid.

The following table lists restricted securities held by a Fund that are illiquid. The following table does not include (1) securities deemed liquid by RIMCo or a money manager pursuant to Board approved policies and procedures or (2) illiquid securities that are not restricted securities as designated on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Shareholder Requests for Additional Information — July 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

 


 

A complete unaudited schedule of investments is made available generally no later than 60 days after the end of the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. These reports are available (i) free of charge, upon request, by calling the Fund at (800) 787-7354, (ii) at www.russell.com, (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov, and (iv) at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s public reference room.

The Board has delegated to RIMCo, as RIC’s investment adviser, the primary responsibility for monitoring, evaluating and voting proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities in which assets of the Funds may be invested. RIMCo has established a proxy voting committee (“Committee”) and has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“P&P”) and proxy voting guidelines (“Guidelines”). The Funds maintain a Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policy that governs the timing and circumstances of disclosure to shareholders and third parties of information regarding the portfolio investments held by the Funds. A description of the P&P, Guidelines, Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policy and additional information about Fund Directors are contained in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). The SAI is available (i) free of charge, upon request, by calling the Funds at (800) 787-7354, (ii) at www.russell.com, and (iii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

To reduce expenses, we may mail only one copy of the Funds’ prospectus and each annual and semi-annual report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. If you wish to receive individual copies of these documents, please call us at (800) 787-7354 or contact your financial institution and we will begin sending you individual copies thirty days after receiving your request.

Some Financial Intermediaries may offer electronic delivery of the Funds’ prospectus and annual and semiannual reports. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for further details.
