Acting on your behalf, we:
  • Work with a network of bank counterparties to execute and settle your exchange transactions efficiently and cost-effectively.


  • Assume operational risk for all operational tasks we perform.


  • Provide transparency and control, with a comprehensive performance report showing when the trade was executed, the market rate at the time of trading, the trade volume by currency, and the cost.
You can integrate our Agency FX services into your international investment program, whether you handle currency needs internally or delegate them to your investment managers.

We also offer:

 
  • Passive currency overlay service to help you design an appropriate hedging program. We will manage your FX exposures according to your preferred strategic hedge ratio.

  • Currency review service to analyze your current foreign exchange trades and report results and suggest solutions to you if we find uncompetitive results.

Russell Investment Group is a Washington, USA corporation, which operates through subsidiaries worldwide, including Russell Investments, and is a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Please remember that all investments carry some level of risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. They do not typically grow at an even rate of return and may experience negative growth. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to reduce risk and increase return could, at certain times, unintentionally reduce returns.
