Russell Investments

Founded in Tacoma, Washington, in 1936 by Frank Russell, Russell Investments developed from a brokerage business into a global investment management and consulting firm. It is headquartered in Seattle and serves institutional investors, financial intermediaries, and individual investors.

The firm combines investment consulting, manager research, asset allocation, multi-asset investing, outsourced CIO services, and portfolio implementation. Its open-architecture approach can combine Russell strategies with selected external managers across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and other asset classes.

Russell Investments is especially strong in complex institutional portfolios where portfolio construction and execution matter as much as manager selection. Its capabilities include OCIO, completion portfolios, transition management, centralized multi-manager implementation, and advisor model portfolios.
