  • Spotlight: Shareholders Are Dispersed and Diverse
    POLICY SPOTLIGHT APRIL 2019 Shareholders Are Dispersed And Diverse Index funds have democratized access to diversified investment for millions of savers, who are investing for long-term goals, like retirement. As index funds are currently growing more quickly than actively managed funds, some critics have expressed concern about increasing concentration of public company ownership in the hands of index fund managers. While it is true that assets under management (or ‘AUM’) in index portfolios have grown, index funds and ETFs represent less than 10% of global equity assets.1 Further, equity investors, and hence public company shareholders, are dispersed across a diverse range of asset owners and asset managers. As of year-end 2017, Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street manage $3.5 trillion, $3.3 trillion, and $1.8 trillion in global equity assets, respectively.2 These investors represent a minority position in the $83 trillion global equity market. As shown in Exhibit 1, the combined AUM of these three managers represents just over 10% of global equity assets. The largest 20 asset managers only account for 22%. Moreover, about two-thirds of all global equity investment is conducted by asset owners choosing to invest in equities directly rather than by employing an asset manager to make investments on their behalf. Exhibit 1: Equity Market Investors3 Total Equity Market Capitalization 100% All Asset Managers 35% Top 20 Managers 22% Top 10 Managers 17% VGD 4% BLK 4% SSgA 2% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Exhibit 1 alone does not paint a complete picture of the diversity of equity market investors, as there is significant variation amongst asset managers and asset owners.

  • Investment Choices for the Wealth Management Plan
    Investment choices for the Wealth Management Plan Investment Choices brochure For the Hong Kong market only. 2 Front cover title goes here Important Information The Wealth Management Plan is an investment-linked assurance scheme (‘ILAS policy’). It is a life assurance policy issued by Quilter International Isle of Man Limited (‘Quilter International’). Your investments are subject to the credit risks of Quilter International. The premiums you pay towards your ILAS policy, any funds that are transferred to Quilter International under the ILAS policy, and any investments made by Quilter International in the underlying funds you select, will become and remain the assets of Quilter International. You do not have any rights or ownership over any of those assets. Your recourse is against Quilter International only. The premiums you pay, after deduction of any applicable fees and charges of your ILAS policy, will be invested by Quilter International in the underlying funds you select. You may also transfer your existing funds, which are funds listed in this Investment Choices brochure, held in your name to Quilter International as a premium payment in kind. Your ILAS policy value will be calculated by Quilter International based on the performance of your selected underlying funds (including the funds that are transferred). Due to the various fees and charges levied by Quilter International on your ILAS policy, the return on your ILAS policy as a whole may be lower than the return of the underlying funds you select (including the funds that are transferred). Early surrender or withdrawal of the policy may result in a significant loss of principal (premiums).

  • Memo Manager Changes Effective: June 8, 2021
    Fund updates The value of active management Effective June 8, 2021, changes to the lineup and weights of money managers have been made to the following Russell Investment Company (RIC) Funds: - U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund - Emerging Markets Fund - Tax-Managed U.S. Mid & Small Cap Fund - Unconstrained Total Return Fund - Short Duration Bond Fund - Multi-Strategy Income Fund - Multi-Asset Growth Strategy Fund U.S. SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND Hired manager - BAMCO, Inc. Manager moved to “funded status” with mandate addition - DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc. Manager moved to a “held but not funded” status - Penn Capital Management Company, Inc. Change rationale Based on a recommendation from Russell Investments Management, LLC (“RIM” or “Russell Investments”), the Fund Board has approved the hire of BAMCO, Inc. (“Baron”). In addition, DePrince, Race & Zollo (“DRZ”) will be moved to “funded” status and will have an additional mandate. In addition, there will be allocation changes to the money managers. Baron will run a specialized mandate focused on stocks within the biotechnology industry. Baron’s addition to the Fund will increase the portion of active risk from stock selection while also mitigating industry risk. Given substantial growth in the opportunity set of public, small cap biotechnology companies over the past decade, Russell Investments believes that the Fund has the potential to benefit from skilled stock selection of a money manager with expertise in the biotechnology industry. Additionally, Russell Investments will reallocate assets to DRZ’s Small Cap Value portfolio (previously “held but not funded”) as well as to its Micro Cap Value strategy (a new mandate) via a blended mandate.
