Russell Investments has long served as a behind-the-scenes index provider for many popular ETFs, but now the company is jumping into the spotlight with its own lineup of proprietary ETFs.
The company's first suite called Russell Investment Discipline ETFs, offer exposure to U.S. large-cap equities across six investment disciplines commonly practiced by professional investment managers.
"Having been involved in the ETF industry since its inception through my career, I recognized an opportunity, perhaps unique to Russell, to provide sophisticated ETF products that expand beyond traditional market offerings," says James Polisson, managing director of Russell's global ETF business.
