Russell Investments Global High Dividend Equity - I USD DIS Fonds

The Fund aims to achieve long-term growth on your investment by investing at least 80% of its assets in the equities of companies worldwide. At least twothirds of the Fund's total assets are issued by or in respect of high dividend companies (companies that pay above-average income to their shareholders in the form of a dividend (a share of profits)). The Fund will also invest in companies that do not currently pay above-average dividends to shareholders but have the potential to do so in the future. The Fund invests in companies and across different industries and countries and may invest more than 20% of its assets in emerging markets (developing countries). The Fund aims to reduce its carbon exposure relative to the Index. Following the selection of the equity securities, a binding decarbonisation overlay strategy will be applied to the portfolio of the Fund to identify securities that will allow the Fund to reduce its carbon exposure compared to the Index and to ensure the Fund will always have no less than a 20 per cent lower aggregate carbon footprint compared to the Index. The Fund will also seek to invest in corporations which follow good governance practices by international standards.
