Russell Investments Debuts Multi-Sector Core Plus Bond ETF

Russell Investments has launched the Russell Investments Core Plus Bond ETF (BD), an actively managed fixed-income ETF using the firm’s multi-manager approach. The strategy invests across corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, government debt, mortgage-backed securities, and global fixed-income markets, including high-yield and emerging-market debt. Russell’s target allocation is 40% corporate credit, 35% asset-backed securities, and 25% government bonds, though exposures can shift based on market opportunities and risk assessments. The ETF aims to deliver diversified bond exposure with active sector allocation, security selection, and risk management while maintaining duration broadly aligned with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
