Business Wire

Russell Investments was named Top Service Provider of the Year for Outsourced Solutions. Zach Buchwald and Kate El-Hillow also received awards for top CEO and CIO, respectively.

SEATTLE, October 20, 2026--The Financial Times has named Russell Investments Top Service Provider of the Year for Outsourced Solutions at its Asset Management STAR Awards North America. The Financial Times also named Russell Investments Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Zach Buchwald as Investment Manager CEO of the Year, and President and Chief Investment Officer Kate El-Hillow as Investment Manager CIO of the Year.

Russell Investments is a global investment solutions partner serving institutional investors, financial advisers and individual investors. The firm has been an innovator in asset management and investment consulting since 1936, helping to pioneer multi-manager investing and the outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) model. Over the past three years, the firm's assets under management have grown from $280 billion to $436 billion.

"These awards belong to everyone at Russell Investments. For 90 years, we've innovated portfolios to help more people achieve financial security, and we're proud of what we've built together with our clients. But our ambitions for the future are even bigger. We want to bring the benefits of great investing to those who haven't always had access," said Zach Buchwald, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Russell Investments.

Tailored investment solutions for institutional clients

Russell Investments' outsourced solutions span the full spectrum, from investment consulting and strategic advice to implementation and full-discretion OCIO. The firm tailors the mix of support and discretion to each client's needs, drawing selectively on its open-architecture investment toolkit. Across industries, investment structures and markets, each partnership is built around the client—not a one-size-fits-all program.

"Our clients support a wide range of missions, across retirement, healthcare, higher education and more, and each has distinct investment goals, structures and resources. Our flexible solutions let us shape the outsourcing partnership around what each organization is working to achieve, whether that calls for a full OCIO relationship or focused support in specific areas. By bringing the right mix of investment expertise and execution skills, we help clients make progress on their priorities with confidence," said Lindy Freeman, Global Head of Institutional at Russell Investments.
