Russell Exchange Traded Funds Trust
Russell Equity ETF
Notes to Quarterly Report June 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
Russell Exchange
Traded Funds Trust (the Investment Company or RET or the Trust) is a series investment company with a single investment portfolio, the Russell Equity ETF (the Fund). The Investment Company is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a Delaware statutory trust. Prior to April 15, 2011, the name of the Trust was U.S. One Trust and the
Fund name was One Fund ETF.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (ETF). ETFs are funds that trade like other
publicly-traded securities and may be designed to track an index or to be actively managed. The Fund is a fund of funds, which means that the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares of other
exchange-traded funds (Underlying ETFs). Russell Investment Management Company (the Adviser or RIMCo) employs an asset allocation strategy that seeks to provide exposure to multiple asset classes in a variety of
domestic and foreign markets. The Advisers asset allocation strategy establishes a target asset allocation for the Fund and the Adviser then implements the strategy by selecting Underlying ETFs that represent each of the desired asset classes,
sectors and strategies. The Adviser employs an active management strategy, meaning that it buys and holds Underlying ETFs based on its asset allocation views, not based on time period dependent rebalancing policies.
Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought from and redeemed by the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net
asset value (NAV), shares of the Fund may be directly purchased from and redeemed by the Fund at NAV solely by certain large institutional investors. Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Fund are listed on a national
securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. The date the shares began trading on the secondary market is the commencement of operations date.
The Fund issues and redeems shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof
(Creation Units). Only certain large institutional investors may purchase or redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund at NAV (Authorized Participants). These transactions are in exchange for certain securities similar to
the Funds portfolio and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable securities. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants may not redeem shares directly from the Fund.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of this Quarterly
Report. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for investment companies. The presentation of these schedules of investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Quarterly Report. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The Fund values its portfolio securities at fair market
value. This generally means that equity securities listed and principally traded on any national securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price or, if there were no sales, at the closing bid price, on the primary exchange
on which the security is traded. Equity securities traded over-the-counter are valued on the basis of official closing price. The fund values the shares of the underlying ETFs at the reported sale or settlement price. The Board of Trustees (the
Board) has delegated the responsibility for administration of the securities valuation procedures to Russell Funds Services Company (RFSC).
Fair value of securities is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the
investment. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurement, the fair value hierarchy was established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of
fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (e.g., the risk inherent in a particular valuation
technique, such as a pricing model or the risks inherent in the inputs to a particular valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value
hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

Notes to Quarterly Report, continued June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, which may include, but are not limited to quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (such as interest rates, yield curves, implied volatilities, credit spreads) or other market
corroborated inputs.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not
available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.
|
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are reflected as of the trade date for
financial reporting purposes. This may cause the NAV stated in the financial statements to be different from the NAV at which transactions may occur. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions, if applicable, are recorded on the basis of
specific identified cost.
Investment Income
Distributions of income and capital gains from Underlying ETFs are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a
variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the
Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk
In the normal course of business, the Underlying ETFs trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of
potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the relevant assets recorded in the Underlying ETFs
financial statements (the Assets). The Assets, which potentially expose the Underlying ETFs to credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The extent of the Underlying ETFs exposure to credit
risks with respect to the Assets approximates their carrying value as recorded in the Underlying ETFs Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Frequency Distribution of Discounts and Premiums June
30, 2013 (Unaudited)
The chart below presents information about differences between the per share
NAV of the Fund and the market trading price of shares of the Fund. For these purposes, the market price is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares
are listed. The term premium is sometimes used to describe a market price in excess of NAV and the term discount is sometimes used to describe a market price below NAV. The chart presents information about the size and
frequency of premiums or discounts. As with other exchange traded funds, the market price of Fund shares is typically slightly higher or lower than the Funds per share NAV. Factors that contribute to the differences between market price and
NAV include the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors assessments of the underlying value of a Funds portfolio securities.
