Introductory Manager’s Report
Russell Investments Limited (the “Advisor”) is a pioneer in the innovative approach of multi-asset, multi-style and multi-manager
diversification. The objective of these Funds is to deliver consistent and superior returns to investors using a multi-manager
approach to reduce performance volatility. The Advisor seeks to achieve this in the Funds which permanently invest in equities,
by building a portfolio where the market bets (sector, size, style and other biases) are controlled using portfolio analytics and
simulation tools to check the “fit” between managers to whom the Fund’s assets are allocated, thereby minimising costly overlap.
The main source of value-added for the equity funds is stock selection. The research of the Advisor indicates that this is the most
reliable and consistent source of outperformance. The Advisor seeks to achieve the investment objective in the Funds which
permanently invest in debt instruments by building a fund structure where the market bets (country, currency, duration, style and
other biases) are controlled, using a team of managers with distinct and complementary investment approaches. The main sources
of value-added for the bond Funds are currency and duration positions.
Russell Investment Company II plc
Directors’ Report
6 Directors’ Report
The Directors submit their report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011.
Directors’ responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable Irish
law and Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland including the accounting standards issued by the Accounting
Standards Board and published by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland.
Irish company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of Russell Investment Company II plc (the “Company”) and of the profit or loss of the Company for that year.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make estimates and judgements that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will
continue in business.
The Directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information relating to the
Company which may be included on Russell Investments Limited’s (the “Distributor”) website. Legislation in the Republic of
Ireland governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
In carrying out the above requirements, the Directors have appointed Russell Investments Ireland Limited as manager (the
“Manager”) and the Manager has appointed State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited to act as administrator (the
“Administrator”) of the Company.
Books of account
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland and comply with the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the European
Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2003, (as amended). They are
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company. In this regard they have entrusted the assets of the Company to State
Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Custodian and Trustee”) who has been appointed as custodian and trustee to the
Company pursuant to the terms of a custodian agreement. The Directors have a general responsibility for taking such steps as are
reasonably open to them to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. The Directors believe that they have complied with
the requirements of section 202 of the Companies Act, 1990, with regard to books of account by employing an experienced
administrator with appropriate expertise and by providing adequate resources to the financial function. The books of account of
the Company are maintained by the Administrator at 78 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Distribution policy
The Company pursues a distribution policy so that it will be able to obtain certification as a “distributing fund” under the United
Kingdom Income and Corporation Taxes Act, 1988 for the purposes of U.K. taxation. Each distribution shall be at least such
minimal amount (if any) as shall be necessary for the Company to achieve “distributable status” for U.K. tax purposes.
With the exception of Roll-Up Class Shares, the distribution policy of each Fund is to distribute out of net income. Roll-Up Share
Classes do not declare or distribute net income and their net asset value reflects the net income position. Accumulation Share
Classes declare a distribution but the net income is reinvested in the capital of the relevant Fund on the distribution date. Income
Share Classes distribute net income from time to time at the Directors’ discretion. Net income includes all interest, dividends and
other amounts deemed by the Manager to be in the nature of income less the estimated expenses of that Fund applicable to that
dividend year.
Review of performance of the business and future developments of the business
A detailed performance review of the business and future developments is included in the Manager’s Report for each Fund.
Principal risks
A detailed analysis of the risks facing each Fund is included in Note 11 to the financial statements.
Results and dividends
The results for the year are set out in the Profit and Loss Account for each Fund. Dividends were declared during the year as
detailed in Note 16 to the financial statements.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
The Directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable Irish

Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland) are set out in the Directors’ Report.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and
International Standards on Auditing (U.K. and Ireland). This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the
Company’s members as a body in accordance with Section 193 of the Companies Act, 1990 and for no other purpose. We do not,
in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland, and are properly prepared in accordance with Irish statute comprising the Companies
Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities)
Regulations 2003 (as amended). We state whether we have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary
for the purposes of our audit, and whether the financial statements are in agreement with the books of account. We also report to
you our opinion as to:
whether the Company has kept proper books of account; and
whether the Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial statements.
We also report to you if, in our opinion, any information specified by law regarding directors’ remuneration and directors’
transactions is not disclosed and where practicable, include such information in our report.
We read the other information contained in the Annual Report, and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial
statements. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.
Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (U.K. and Ireland) issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the
preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Company’s circumstances,
consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order
to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material
misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements
give a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland, of the state of the
Company’s affairs at 31 March 2011 and of its results for the year then ended; and
have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Acts, 1963 to 2009 and the
European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2003 (as

We have obtained all the information and explanations we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our opinion proper
books of account have been kept by the Company. The Company’s financial statements are in agreement with the books of
account.

Investment Objective
The investment objective of The Euro Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide income and capital growth by investing
primarily in Euro denominated transferable debt instruments, which include, but are not limited to, municipal and government
bonds, agency debt (being that issued by local authorities or public international bodies of which one or more states is a member),
mortgage related debt and corporate debt that are listed, traded or dealt in on a regulated market in the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and which may have fixed or floating interest rates.
Fund Performance
The Fund returned 0.3 per cent on a gross of fees basis during the 12 month period under review, versus the benchmark* return of
-1.2 per cent.
Market Comment
The Citigroup EuroBig Index made modest gains over the second quarter of 2010, as risk aversion escalated, to the detriment of
non-government assets. The majority of the period was dominated by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, amid fears that
uncoordinated policy responses could undermine economic recovery. Concerns that the contagion could spread saw Europe‟s
financial institutions grow increasingly wary of lending to each other, restricting liquidity and complicating the European Central
Bank‟s (the “ECB”) withdrawal of its stimulus measures. Credit markets faltered as corporate bond sales fell to the lowest in a
decade and issuance levels plummeted. High yield bonds underperformed government assets markedly as spreads hit their widest
levels in a year and issuance slowed sharply from the record pace of the first quarter. The majority of government bond markets
responded well, notably German bunds, after the sovereign debt crisis boosted demand for the safest of assets. However, bonds of
the troubled peripheral Euro area nations saw yields rise.
European bonds enjoyed a positive third quarter, and with concerns easing over the outlook for the economic recovery, it was
again the higher risk sectors that outperformed. High yield and emerging market debt were the best-performing sectors as
investors were buoyed by the International Monetary Fund‟s (the “IMF”) decision to raise its global growth forecast and by
second-quarter earnings releases from a number of the world‟s biggest companies that were well in excess of expectations. Gains
were reinforced by more upbeat news from Europe, where the results of the stress tests on banks were largely welcomed. The
majority of government bond markets strengthened, after signs of a slowdown in global economic recovery and speculation over
a return to quantitative easing in most major economies boosted demand for safer assets. U.S. Treasuries enjoyed a third
consecutive quarter of gains, but were outperformed by German bunds and U.K. gilts. In contrast, spreads widened on debt issued
by some of the eurozone‟s more troubled peripheral members amid renewed concern that their finances were deteriorating at a
rate that would force them to activate an E.U. led bailout.
European bonds then fell over the fourth quarter after speculation that the global economic recovery was becoming more
sustainable enabled equity markets to build on September‟s risk rally. The generally upbeat sentiment was underpinned by a
burgeoning recovery in the U.S., strong growth in China and speculation that the Federal Reserve‟s decision to sanction a second
round of quantitative easing would help global growth accelerate. A very positive third-quarter earnings season and central bank
intervention in Europe helped firm up the belief that the threat of a double-dip recession was receding and that a “worst case
scenario” had been prevented. High yield debt was the best performing sector over the final quarter, as investors speculated that
the risk of a double-dip recession had receded, allowing the neediest borrowers to access capital more readily. In government
bond markets, U.K. gilts outperformed U.S. Treasuries and German bunds over the quarter, as demand was fuelled by what
investors perceived to be a credible fiscal plan to reduce the country‟s deficit and by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Despite
the sustained efforts of eurozone policymakers, the year drew to a close with considerable questions about the solvency of several
of the region‟s peripheral economies, and even the long-term viability of the single currency area in its current form.
Losses continued into the first quarter of 2011 after risk assets extended their rally as central banks maintained their highly
accommodative monetary policy. This prolonged risk rally saw investors shrug off ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic risk,
with economic data indicating that the global recovery was broadening out. For the most part riskier, higher yielding debt
continued to outperform with investors speculating that default risk had receded given the breadth of the recovery. These bonds
enjoyed their best start to a year since 2003, while emerging market debt rallied very strongly in March after the violence in the
Middle East and fears over inflation, particularly in Latin America and Asia, had initially weighed on sentiment. Most European
government bonds retreated, notably among safer havens including the German bund, as the economic outlook brightened and the
ECB prepared to tighten its ultra-loose policy. On the periphery, Spanish bond yields fell as the economy strengthened, but Irish
debt struggled after the country‟s government was toppled at a general election while the yield on Portuguese ten year debt
touched a succession of Euro-era highs, prompting the ECB to intervene to reassure the markets.

Manager’s Report - continued
16 The Euro Fixed Income Fund
General Comment on Money Manager/Performance
The Fund outperformed, with each of the managers finishing ahead of the benchmark over the period. The Fund outperformed
over the second quarter, driven by a variety of sources including interest rate, country and currency positioning, as the broader
credit market faltered. The overweight to spread sectors had added value earlier in the period, as risk appetite remained elevated
but, as market conditions reversed, the Fund‟s multi-manager structure and inherent diversity proved very beneficial. Fidelity
Investments International Limited outperformed the benchmark and its peers in the Fund, as its exposures to government-
sponsored assets and underweight to peripheral European government debt added good value. The Fund also outperformed over
the third quarter, with each of the underlying managers finishing ahead. The gains were largely driven by successful sector
positioning (overweights to high yield, subordinated financial debt and Asset Backed Securities (the “ABS”) in an environment
which ultimately favoured risk. Western Asset Management was the best-performing manager, having enjoyed a particularly
strong month in September, when its preference for lower quality assets proved beneficial.
The Fund underperformed over the fourth quarter as each of the managers finished behind the benchmark. Sector positioning
proved to be the key detractor for much of the period, as an overweight to subordinated financial debt and general preference for
credit over government issues weighed on returns, particularly earlier in the period. Yield curve and interest rate positioning was
also modestly negative for much of the quarter while the short to the Euro, which had proved beneficial in November, has
weighed on returns more latterly as the currency rallied on speculation the sell-off in Europe had been overdone given the
strength of the German economy. The Fund then outperformed over the first quarter of 2011, maintaining its strong run year-to-
date, as each of the underlying managers continued to deliver returns in excess of the benchmark. The Fund‟s sector positioning
was the key driver, notably through its overweights to subordinated and higher quality financial debt and high yield. The overall
preference for credit assets over government issues also added value as did short duration positioning in Ireland and Portugal.
Outlook
The dominant characteristic of capital markets in 2010 was the tug-of-war between headline grabbing risks and the less
sensational, but far from trivial, global economic expansion and corporate earnings growth story. At Russell Investments, we
think it is reasonable to expect a similar pattern in 2011. Our forecasts continue to suggest a slow, grinding economic recovery
that will be the backdrop for strength in global corporate profits and strong corporate balance sheets. But we also expect periodic
headline risks to cause volatility spikes, and that these are likely to punctuate capital market moves.
For 2011, we have identified a central (highest probability) scenario; the „square root sign-shaped recovery‟ is likely to continue.
We expect equity valuations to support some modest upside, with risky assets having a moderate year. We expect the risk of
inflation in the United States to remain relatively benign, and that quantitative easing in late 2010 will succeed in avoiding
deflation. And with deflation mostly off the table, we also expect that bond markets in the core will experience a mild sell-off.
Past performance is no indication of current or future performance.
