Peter Gunning Email Address

Vice Chairman

At Russell Investments, we stand with you, whether you're an institutional investor, a financial advisor, or an individual guided by an advisor's advice.

There is a paradigm shift underway in the way global investors are thinking. The losses experienced through the global financial crisis, as well as ongoing market volatility, have fundamentally changed the way the industry thinks about investing. The asset management industry has needed to move away from assessing funds based on whether they beat a peer group of managers, or market indices, towards developing outcome oriented portfolios that take into account financial situation and income needs as a starting point. That is why there continues to be a major shift around the world with global institutional and retail investors embracing multi-asset strategies – which combine exposures to a globally diverse mix of asset classes and investment styles in a single portfolio. Over the last 25 years I have had the pleasure of working for Russell Investments and helping to lead our quest to become the best in the world in implementing multi-asset solutions. The integrity of our investment beliefs, the flawless execution of our investment process, our deep respect for clients and our desire to support each other are what define Russell Investments – and why I personally continue to believe this is one of the best places to work. As a firm, Russell Investments continues to be respected the world over, not just for our ability to innovate and deliver the best investment solutions, but also for our value system rooted in non-negotiable integrity and genuine concern for our clients and each other.
