- Russell Investments International Developed Equity ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in developed markets outside the United States. The fund employs Russell Investments’ open-architecture, multi-manager and multi-style investment process, combining complementary security-selection strategies and specialist external investment managers under Russell Investments’ ongoing portfolio oversight. Its principal offering is diversified exposure to non-U.S. developed-market equities across large-, mid- and, where appropriate, smaller-capitalization companies, sectors and countries, providing investors and financial advisers with a single listed vehicle for international developed-market equity allocation.
The ETF is traded under the ticker RINT and was launched on May 13, 2025. It is part of the Russell Investments Exchange Traded Funds family and is distributed by Foreside Fund Services LLC. Shares are created and redeemed at net asset value in creation units and trade on the secondary market, where they may trade at premiums or discounts to net asset value. The fund is designed for institutional investors, financial intermediaries, advisers and individual investors seeking professionally managed, diversified international equity exposure outside the U.S. market. Russell Investments Exchange Traded Funds is based at 401 Union Street, 18th Floor, Seattle, Washington.
Russell Investments, the fund’s sponsor and investment-management organization, provides investment solutions including actively managed exchange-traded funds; multi-manager funds; portfolio construction and implementation services; manager research; advisory solutions; institutional investment management; and global equity, fixed-income, real estate, infrastructure, emerging-market and small-cap investment strategies. Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Russell Investments serves institutional investors, financial intermediaries and individual investors across 31 countries and operates offices in 17 cities. The firm had approximately $416 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026. Its ownership includes a majority stake held by funds managed by TA Associates Management LP, with significant minority ownership held by funds managed by Reverence Capital Partners LP; certain employees and Hamilton Lane Advisors LLC also hold minority, non-controlling interests.
Recent developments include the October 1, 2025 renaming of the fund from the Russell Investments International Developed Equity Active ETF to the Russell Investments International Developed Equity ETF, while retaining the RINT ticker and active, multi-manager investment approach. In July 2026, Russell Investments expanded its U.S. actively managed ETF platform through the launches of the Russell Investments Global Real Estate ETF and Russell Investments Core Plus Bond ETF, bringing its ETF range to seven funds and positioning RINT within a broader suite spanning global equity, international developed equity, emerging-market equity, U.S. small-cap equity, global infrastructure, global real estate and core-plus fixed income strategies.
