TO OUR CLIENTS 

We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 1998 Semiannual
Report. This report covers information on seven of the Funds and represents the
Funds' first six months of our seventeenth year in operation. 

We remain committed to providing our clients with superior investment solutions
through the benefits of multi-manager, multi-style diversification used in
structuring our Funds. The commitment proved worthwhile in the first six months
of 1998, as our Funds, in general, provided solid returns as compared to their
respective benchmarks and attracted many new investors, both creating
significant growth in assets. 

Frank Russell Investment Management Company (FRIMCo) continuously evaluates the
Funds we offer our clients. Each of these Funds is carefully monitored by
Russell investment professionals to ensure that the most appropriate investment
advisors and strategies are utilized within each Fund. The advisors are
monitored by FRIMCo, using the expertise and advice of the Investment Policy and
Research group of Frank Russell Company.   

Since the close of 1997, we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. The former Class
C shares of the Russell Funds have been renamed Russell Fund Class E shares, and
their fee structure now aligns with the Russell LifePoints-Registered Trademark-
Funds' Class E shares. Additionally, the Russell LifePoints-Registered
Trademark- Funds' Class D shares were opened for investment in March 1998. 

We are also pleased to announce FRIMCo has retained Boston Financial Data
Services (BFDS) to assist in the transfer agent process, effective June 1998. We
anticipate this change will enhance the level of services provided to our
clients. 

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to the remainder of 1998 and continuing to
earn your support. 

Sincerely, 


/s/ George F. Russell, Jr.              /s/ Lynn L. Anderson

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY

SPECIALTY FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)


1.  ORGANIZATION

    Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
    mutual fund with 28 different investment portfolios, referred to as "Funds."
    These financial statements report on seven Funds, each of which has distinct
    investment objectives and strategies. The Investment Company is registered
    under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified,
    open-end management investment company. It is organized and operates as a
    Massachusetts business trust under an amended master trust agreement dated
    July 26, 1984. The Investment Company's master trust agreement permits the
    Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares
    of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value.

    Effective May 18, 1998, pursuant to approval of the Investment Company's
    Board of Trustees, Class C shares were renamed Class E shares. As of July 8,
    1996, the Real Estate Securities and Emerging Markets Funds have available
    Class S and Class E shares. Each Class has equal rights as to assets and
    voting privileges. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and
    losses and fund level expenses of a Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis
    to each Class, based on relative net assets of each Class to the total net
    assets of a Fund. Certain expenses may also be charged to an individual
    Class for services or fees that relate specifically to that particular
    Class. Class E shares are charged a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of
    average daily net assets. Class S shares which are reported herein are
    charged no such fees. Prior to May 18, 1998 Class E shares were charged a
    12b-1 distribution fee and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.40% and 0.25% of
    average net assets, respectively.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which require the use of management
    estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
    consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of these financial
    statements.

    SECURITY VALUATION: United States equity and fixed-income securities listed
    and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on the
    basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sale, at the closing bid price,
    on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. United States
    over-the-counter equity and fixed-income securities and options are valued
    on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued on the
    basis of the last sale price. Many fixed-income securities do not trade each
    day and, thus, last sale or bid prices are frequently not available.
    Fixed-income securities, therefore, may be valued using prices provided by a
    pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market
    value of such securities.

    International equity and fixed-income securities traded on a national
    securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price.
    International securities traded over the counter are valued on the basis of
    the mean of bid prices. In the absence of a last sale or mean bid price,
    respectively, such securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided
    by a pricing service if those prices are believed to reflect the fair market
    value of such securities.

    The Money Market, U.S. Government Money Market and the Tax Free Money Market
    Funds' portfolio investments are valued on the basis of "amortized cost," a
    method by which each portfolio instrument is initially valued at cost, and
    thereafter a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any
    discount/premium is assumed. All three Funds utilize the amortized cost
    valuation method in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act
    of 1940, as amended. Short-term investments maturing within 60 days of the
    valuation date held by Funds other than the Money Market, U.S. Government
    Money Market and Tax Free Money Market Funds are also valued at amortized
    cost unless the Board of Trustees determines that amortized cost does not
    represent fair value.

    Municipal investments of the Limited Volatility Tax Free Fund are appraised
    or priced by an independent pricing source, approved by the Board of
    Trustees, which utilizes information with respect to bond transactions,
    quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities,
    and various relationships between securities.

    The Funds may value certain securities for which market quotations are not
    readily available at "fair value," as determined in good faith pursuant to
    procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

    INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade
    date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are
    recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money
    manager within a particular fund. The Funds, except Limited Volatility Tax
    Free, Tax Free Money Market, U.S. Government Money Market, and Money Market
    Funds may lend portfolio securities as approved by the Board of Trustees on
    April 27, 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

    INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
    interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions from Real
    Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") owned by the Real Estate Securities Fund
    may have as their components dividend income, capital gains and/or returns
    of capital. Distributions that are deemed to be capital gains or returns of
    capital by the trusts are treated by the Fund, respectively, as an
    adjustment to its realized capital gains or its cost of the investment. The
    exact amount to be adjusted can be ascertained only at the end of each
    REIT's fiscal year when finally determined and reported by the various
    trusts.

    AMORTIZATION AND ACCRETION: All premiums and discounts, including original
    issue discounts, for the Funds are amortized/accreted for both tax and
    financial reporting purposes.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: As a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a
    separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and
    capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund's
    shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of
    the other Funds.

    It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company and
    distribute all of its taxable income. Therefore, no federal income tax
    provision was required for the Funds. From November 1, 1997 to December 31,
    1997, the Emerging Markets Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax
    Free Money Market Fund incurred net realized capital losses of $8,399,434,
    $1,427 and $200, respectively. As permitted by tax regulations, the Emerging
    Markets Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax Free Money Market
    Fund intend to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the
    year ending December 31, 1998.

    At December 31, 1997, certain Funds had net tax basis capital loss
    carryforwards which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains in
    each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever
    occurs first. Available capital loss carryforwards and expiration dates are
    as follows:

    REDEMPTION FEES: In general, shares of the Equity T Fund may be redeemed at
    net asset value. However, upon the redemption or exchange of shares held by
    shareholders of the Fund, a redemption fee of 1% of the current net asset
    value of the shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the
    benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is included in
    additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Statement of Assets and
    Liabilities.

    DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: For all Funds, income dividends
    and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend
    date. Dividends are generally declared and paid monthly for the Limited
    Volatility Tax Free Fund; quarterly for the Real Estate Securities Fund and
    annually for the Equity T and Emerging Markets Funds. The Money Market, U.S.
    Government Money Market and Tax Free Money Market Funds declare and record
    dividends daily and pay them monthly. Capital gain distributions are
    generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid
    by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining
    undistributed capital gains and net investment income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


    The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain
    distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations
    which may differ from GAAP. As a result, net investment income and net
    realized gain (or loss) on investment and foreign currency-related
    transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
    distributions during such period. The differences between tax regulations
    and GAAP primarily relate to investments in options, futures, forward
    contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign-denominated
    investments, mortgage-backed securities, and certain securities sold at a
    loss. Accordingly, a Fund may periodically make reclassifications among
    certain of its capital accounts without impacting its net asset value.

    EXPENSES: The Funds, and when appropriate each Class, will pay their own
    expenses other than those expressly assumed by Frank Russell Investment
    Management Company ("FRIMCo" or "Manager"). Most expenses can be directly
    attributed to the individual Funds. Expenses which cannot be directly
    attributed are allocated among all Funds principally based on their relative
    net assets. In addition, Class E shares will pay shareholder servicing fees
    along with other expenses that may be attributable to that Class. Prior to
    May 18, 1998, Class E Shares paid a 12b-1 distribution fee.

    DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Organization and initial registration costs
    of the Emerging Markets and Equity T Funds have been deferred and are being
    amortized over 60 months on a straight-line basis.

    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds may engage in repurchase agreements with
    several financial institutions whereby a Fund, through its custodian,
    receives delivery of underlying securities as collateral. Each Fund's Money
    Manager will monitor repurchase agreements daily to determine that the
    market value (including accrued interest) of the underlying securities at
    Fedwire closing time remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price.
    The Money Manager will notify the Seller to immediately increase the
    collateral on the repurchase agreement to 102% of the repurchase price if
    collateral value falls below 102%.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Emerging Markets
    Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and
    transactions of the Fund are translated into U.S. dollars on the following
    basis:

      (a) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at
          the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

      (b) Outstanding purchases and sales of investment securities and income at
          the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade dates
          of such transactions.

    Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related
    transactions arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities; sales
    of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade
    and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the
    amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on
    the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually
    received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign
    currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and
    liabilities, other than investments in securities, at period-end, as a
    result of changes in the exchange rates.

    It is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations of
    the Emerging Markets Fund that arises as a result of changes in exchange
    rates from that portion that arises from changes in market prices of
    investments during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net
    realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal
    income tax purposes the Fund does isolate the effects of changes in foreign
    exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices
    for realized gain (or loss) on debt obligations.

    DERIVATIVES: To the extent permitted by the investment objectives,
    restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement
    of Additional Information, certain Funds may participate in various
    derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or
    agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index. They
    include options, futures, swaps, forwards, structured notes and stripped
    securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and risks that
    assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.


    Funds typically use derivatives in three ways:  cash equitization, hedging,
    and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by
    certain Funds through the use of options and futures to earn "market-like"
    returns with their excess and liquidity reserve cash balances. Hedging is
    used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as adverse movements in
    exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement can be accomplished
    through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing certain instruments,
    Funds may more effectively achieve the desired portfolio characteristics
    that assist them in  meeting their investment objectives. Depending on how
    the derivatives are structured and utilized, the risks associated with them
    may vary widely. These risks are generally categorized as market risk,
    liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: In connection with portfolio purchases
    and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, the Emerging
    Markets Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and
    forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("contracts"). Additionally,
    from time to time the Emerging Markets Fund may enter into contracts to
    hedge certain foreign currency-denominated assets. Contracts are recorded at
    market value. Certain risks may arise upon entering into these contracts
    from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of its
    contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the
    contracts, if any, that are recognized in the Statement of Assets and
    Liabilities. Realized gains or losses arising from such transactions are
    included in net realized gain (or loss) from foreign currency-related
    transactions. Open contracts at June 30, 1998, are presented on the
    Statement of Net Assets for the Fund.

    INVESTMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS: Investing in emerging markets may involve
    special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in
    the United States markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies,
    high rates of inflation, repatriation, restrictions on income and capital,
    and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities
    issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership
    controls, delayed settlements, and their prices more volatile than those of
    comparable securities in the United States.

    FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Equity T Fund utilizes futures to equitize liquidity
    reserve balances. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect
    the extent of the Fund's exposure to off balance sheet risk. The primary
    risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an imperfect
    correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the
    Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid
    market. Changes in the initial settlement values of futures contracts are
    accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts
    are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.

    SECURITIES LENDING: Effective April 27, 1998, the Investment Company resumed
    its securities lending program. This program allows the Real Estate
    Securities Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, and the Equity T Fund to loan
    securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to certain
    brokers.  The Fund receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government or U.S.
    Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities.
    To the extent that a loan is secured by cash collateral, such collateral
    shall be invested by Morgan Stanley Trust Company ("MSTC") in short-term
    instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term
    investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and
    diversification requirements. Under the securities-lending arrangement, the
    collateral received is recorded on the Fund's statement of assets and
    liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.  In
    those situations where the Company has relinquished control of securities
    transferred, it derecognizes the securities and records a receivable from
    the counterparty.

    Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated
    rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided
    between the Fund and MSTC and is included as interest income for the Fund.
    To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the
    Fund negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Fund and MSTC
    and are included as interest income for the Fund.  All collateral received
    will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S. securities)
    or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the loaned
    securities at the inception of each loan.  This collateral must be
    maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
    securities during the period of the loan.  Should the borrower of the
    securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the
    securities or loss of rights in the collateral.  Consequently, loans are
    made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.
    As of June 30, 1998, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the
    value of collateral amounted to as follows:

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the management fee paid to FRIMCo,
    for the Funds listed below, in accordance with the Investment Company's
    Management Agreement with that firm, amounted to $7,210,570 before waivers.
    Such fee is payable monthly and is equal to the annual rate, by Fund, shown

    The management contract also provides that if any Fund's expenses (exclusive
    of interest and taxes) exceed specified limits imposed by the Manager on an
    annual basis, such excess will be paid by FRIMCo.

    The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.75%
    management fee for the Equity T Fund, up to the full amount of that fee,
    equal to the amount by which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed
    1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets on an annual basis. There were
    no waivers by the Manager for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

    The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.10% management fee for the Tax
    Free Money Market Fund. The amount of such waiver for the six months ended
    June 30, 1998 was $78,462.

    Prior to June 15, 1998, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive 0.13% of its
    0.25% management fee for the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Effective
    June 15, 1998, the manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its management
    fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount by which the
    Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net
    assets on an annual basis. The amount of such waiver for the six months
    ended June 30, 1998 was $104,831.

    The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.15% of its 0.25% management
    fee for the Money Market Fund. The amount of such waiver for the six months
    ended June 30, 1998 was $722,207.

    FRIMCo calculates its management fee based on average daily net assets for
    each Fund less any management fee incurred on assets invested in the Money
    Market Fund (see Note 5) thereby eliminating any duplication of fees.

    ANALYTIC SERVICES: Fees for analytic services provided to the Funds are paid
    or accrued to Frank Russell Company, an affiliate of the Investment Company.
    Frank Russell Company provides its TruVP System to the Real Estate
    Securities, Emerging Markets and Equity T Funds, pursuant to a written

    agent services to the Investment Company. Total fees for the six months
    ended June 30, 1998 were $595,971.

    DISTRIBUTOR AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING: Prior to May 18, 1998, the Investment
    Company had a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") under
    the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company was authorized to make
    payments to the Distributor, or any Selling Agents, as defined in the Plan,
    an amount (the "12b-1 Fee") for sales support services provided, and related
    expenses incurred which were primarily intended to result in the sale of the
    Class C Shares subject to the Distribution Plan. Effective May 18, 1998,
    Class C shares were renamed Class E shares and the 12b-1 fee was eliminated.

    The Investment Company has entered into a Distribution Agreement with
    Russell Fund Distributors (the "Distributor") which is a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of FRIMCo to promote and offer shares of Class S and Class E of
    the Investment Company Funds. The Distributor may enter into
    sub-distribution agreements with other non-affiliated parties (the
    "Selling/Servicing Agents"). , The amounts paid to the Distributor prior to
    May 18, 1998 for distribution services relating to Class E are included in
    the accompanying Statements of Operations. Currently, the Distributor
    receives no compensation from the Investment Company for its services
    relating to distributions of the Class S and Class E Shares.

    In addition, the Investment Company has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan
    (the "Services Plan") under which it may make payments to the Distributor or
    any Servicing Agent for any activities or expenses primarily intended to
    assist, support or service  the Servicing Agents' clients who beneficially
    own Class E Shares of the Funds. The amounts paid to the Distributor for
    shareholder services relating to Class E are included in the accompanying
    Statements of Operations.

    The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average
    daily net assets of a Fund's Class E Shares on an annual basis. The
    Investment Company does not pay for unreimbursed expenses of the Distributor
    including amounts expended by the Distributor in excess of amounts received
    by it from the Investment Company interest, carrying or other financing
    charges in connection with excess amounts expended, or the Distributor's
    overhead expenses. However, the Distributor may be able to recover such
    amount or more from future payments made by the Investment Company under the
    Distribution plan.

preceded by a current Frank Russell Investment Company Prospectus containing
complete information concerning the investment objectives and operations of the
Company, charges, and expenses. The Prospectus should be read carefully before
an investment is made. The performance as of April 1, 1995 is reported gross of
investment advisory fees. For periods thereafter, performance and yields are
reported net of investment advisory fees but gross of investment services fees,
descriptions of which can be obtained from the investment advisor. Investment
services fees and other account expenses will reduce performance (e.g., an
investment services fee of 0.2% of average managed assets will reduce a 10.0%
annual return to 9.8%). The performance quoted represents past performance and
the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investments in securities of non-US issuers and foreign currencies involve
investment risks different than those of US issuers; the Prospectus contains
further information and details regarding these risks. Russell Fund
Distributors, Inc., is the distributor of Frank Russell Investment Company.

TO OUR CLIENTS


We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 1998 Semiannual
Report. This report covers information on eight of the Funds and represents the
Funds' first six months of our seventeenth year in operation.

We remain committed to providing our clients with superior investment solutions
through the benefits of multi-manager, multi-style diversification used in
structuring our Funds. The commitment proved worthwhile in the first six months
of 1998, as our Funds, in general, provided solid returns as compared to their
respective benchmarks and attracted many new investors, both creating
significant growth in assets. 

Frank Russell Investment Management Company (FRIMCo) continuously evaluates the
Funds we offer our clients. Each of these Funds is carefully monitored by
Russell investment professionals to ensure that the most appropriate investment
advisors and strategies are utilized within each Fund. The advisors are
monitored by FRIMCo, using the expertise and advice of the Investment Policy and
Research group of Frank Russell Company.  

Since the close of 1997, we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. The former Class
C shares of the Russell Funds have been renamed Russell Fund Class E shares, and
their fee structure now aligns with the Russell LifePoints-Registered Trademark-
Funds' Class E shares. Additionally, the Russell LifePoints-Registered
Trademark- Funds' Class D shares were opened for investment in March 1998. 

We are also pleased to announce FRIMCo has retained Boston Financial Data
Services (BFDS) to assist in the transfer agent process, effective June 1998. We
anticipate this change will enhance the level of services provided to our
clients.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to the remainder of 1998 and continuing to
earn your support.


Sincerely,



/s/ George F. Russell, Jr.               /s/ Lynn L. Anderson

104  Fixed Income III Fund

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION
     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 28 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds."  These financial statements report on eight Funds, each of which
     has distinct investment objectives and strategies. The Investment Company
     is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
     diversified, open-end management investment company. It is organized and
     operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended master trust
     agreement dated July 26, 1984. The Investment Company's master trust
     agreement permits the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
     full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value. 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which require the use of management
     estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
     policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of these
     financial statements.  

     SECURITY VALUATION: United States equity and fixed-income securities listed
     and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on
     the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sale, at the closing bid
     price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. United
     States over-the-counter equity and fixed-income securities and options are
     valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued
     on the basis of the last sale price. Many fixed-income securities do not
     trade each day and, thus, last sale or bid prices are frequently not
     available. Fixed-income securities, therefore, may be valued using prices
     provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the
     fair market value of such securities.

     International equity and fixed-income securities traded on a national
     securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price.
     International securities traded over the counter are valued on the basis of
     the mean of bid prices. In the absence of a last sale or mean bid price,
     respectively, such securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided
     by a pricing service if those prices are believed to reflect the fair
     market value of such securities.

     Short-term investments held by the Funds maturing within 60 days of the
     valuation date are valued at "amortized cost" unless the Board of Trustees
     determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.

     The Funds may value certain securities for which market quotations are not
     readily available at "fair value," as determined in good faith pursuant to
     procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

     INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade
     date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are
     recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money
     manager within a particular fund. The Funds may lend portfolio securities
     as approved by the Board of Trustees on April 27, 1998.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
     interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

     AMORTIZATION AND ACCRETION: All premiums and discounts, including original
     issue discounts, for the Funds are amortized/accreted for both tax and
     financial reporting purposes. 

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: As a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a
     separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and
     capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund's
     shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of
     the other Funds. 

     It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company
     and distribute all of its taxable income. Therefore, no federal income tax
     provision was required for the Funds.

     At December 31, 1997, certain Funds had net tax basis capital loss
     carryforwards which may be applied against any net realized taxable gains
     in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates,
     whichever occurs first. Available capital loss carryforwards and expiration
     dates are as follows:

</TABLE>

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: For all Funds, income
     dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the
     ex-dividend date. Dividends are generally declared and paid quarterly,
     except for the International Fund, which generally declares and pays
     dividends annually. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and
     paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the Funds to avoid
     imposition of federal income tax on any remaining undistributed capital
     gains and net investment income. 

     The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain
     distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations
     which may differ from GAAP. As a result, net investment income and net
     realized gain (or loss) on investment and foreign currency-related
     transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
     distributions during such period. The differences between tax regulations
     and GAAP primarily relate to investments in options, futures, forward
     contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign-denominated
     investments, mortgage-backed securities, and certain securities sold at a
     loss. Accordingly, a Fund may periodically make a reclassification among
     certain of its capital accounts without impacting its net asset value.

     EXPENSES: The Funds will pay their own expenses other than those expressly
     assumed by the Management Company. Most expenses can be directly attributed
     to the individual Funds. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are
     allocated among all Funds principally based on their relative net assets. 

     DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES:  Organization and initial registration
     costs of the Fixed Income III Fund were deferred and were amortized over 60
     months on a straight-line basis.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds may engage in repurchase agreements with
     several financial institutions whereby a Fund, through its custodian,
     receives delivery of underlying securities as collateral. Each Fund's Money
     Manager will monitor repurchase agreements daily to determine that the
     market value (including accrued interest) of the underlying securities at
     Fedwire closing time remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase
     price. The Money Manager will notify the Seller to immediately increase the
     collateral on the repurchase agreement to 102% of the repurchase price if
     collateral value falls below 102%.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Funds are
     maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of
     the Funds are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: 

       (a)   Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities
             at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation date.

       (b)   Outstanding purchases and sales of investment securities and income
             at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the respective trade
             dates of such transactions. 


106  Notes to Financial Statements

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

     Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related
     transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities;
     sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the
     trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference
     between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
     recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
     actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign
     currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and
     liabilities, other than investments in securities, at period-end, as a
     result of changes in the exchange rates.

     It is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations of
     the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that
     portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the
     year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
     gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the
     Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the
     fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or
     loss) on debt obligations.

     DERIVATIVES:  To the extent permitted by the investment objectives,
     restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement
     of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various
     derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or
     agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index.
     They include options, futures, swaps, forwards, structured notes and
     stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and
     risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

     The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways:  cash equitization,
     hedging, and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may
     be used by certain Funds through the use of options and futures to earn
     "market-like" returns with their excess and liquidity reserve cash
     balances. Hedging is used by some funds to limit or control risks, such as
     adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement
     can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing
     certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired
     portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment
     objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized,
     the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally
     categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS:  In connection with portfolio
     purchases and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency,
     certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and
     forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("contracts"). The
     International Fund may enter into foreign currency forward overlays on
     liquidity reserve balances. Additionally, from time to time the
     International, Fixed Income I, Fixed Income II and Fixed Income III Funds
     may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated
     assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise
     upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
     counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally
     limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are
     recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or
     losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or
     loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at June
     30, 1998, are presented on the Statement of Net Assets for the applicable
     Funds.

     FORWARD COMMITMENTS: The Funds may contract to purchase securities for a
     fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time (i.e., a
     "forward commitment," "delayed settlement" or "when issued" transaction,
     e.g., to be announced ("TBA")) consistent with a Fund's ability to manage
     its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the
     underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
     and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds
     may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it
     is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such
     sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt
     obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for
     the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund's
     records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled.
     A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of
     the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the
     other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction. 

     OPTIONS:  The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on
     securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a
     national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. These Funds
     may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The
     domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve
     balances.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

     When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the
     premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets
     and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of
     the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current
     market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale
     of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase
     in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund
     writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the
     underlying security. If an option which the Fund has written either expires
     on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing
     purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a
     closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option
     was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying
     security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a
     call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a
     capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the
     proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received.
     When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the
     premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a
     Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on
     purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from
     investments.

     The Funds' use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of
     market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets
     and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect
     the extent of the Funds' exposure to off balance sheet risk. The risks may
     be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
     instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
     The Funds' activities in written options are conducted through regulated
     exchanges, which do not result in counterparty credit risks. 

     FUTURES: The domestic and international equity Funds utilize futures to
     equitize liquidity reserve balances. Fixed Income III Fund may utilize
     futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index futures
     contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of these
     instruments reflect the extent of the Funds' exposure to off balance sheet
     risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are an
     imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities
     held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility
     of an illiquid market. Changes in the initial settlement values of futures
     contracts are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until
     the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are
     recognized.

     (1) The aggregate face value of contracts is computed on the date each
         contract was opened.

     SECURITIES LENDING: Effective April 27, 1998, the Investment Company
     resumed its securities lending program. The program allows each Fund to
     loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to certain
     brokers.  The Fund receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government or U.S.
     Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities. 
     To the extent that a loan is secured by cash collateral, such collateral
     shall be invested by Morgan Stanley Trust Company ("MSTC") in short-term
     instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term
     investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and
     diversification requirements. Under the securities-lending arrangement, the
     collateral received is recorded on the Fund's statement of assets and
     liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral.  In
     those situations where the Company has relinquished control of securities
     transferred, it derecognizes the securities and records a receivable from
     the counterparty. 

     Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated
     rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided
     between the Fund and MSTC and is included as interest income for the Fund. 
     To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay
     the Fund negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Fund and
     MSTC and are included as interest income for the Fund.  All collateral
     received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S.
     securities) or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the
     loaned securities at the inception of each loan.  This collateral must be
     maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
     securities during the period of the loan.  Should the borrower of the
     securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the
     securities or loss of rights in the collateral.  Consequently, loans are
     made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing. 
     As of June 30, 1998, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the
     value of collateral amounted to as follows:

4.   RELATED PARTIES
     MANAGER: Frank Russell Investment Management Company ("FRIMCo" or
     "Manager") operates and administers all of the Funds which comprise the
     Investment Company, and manages the Money Market and the U.S. Government
     Money Market Funds (the Money Market and the U.S. Government Money Market
     Funds are a series of the Investment Company that are not presented in this
     report). FRIMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company,
     which researches and recommends to FRIMCo, and to the Investment Company,
     one or more investment management organizations to manage the portfolio of
     each Fund.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the management fee paid to FRIMCo,
     for the Funds listed below, in accordance with the Investment Company's
     Management Agreement with that firm, amounted to $16,627,331 before
     waivers. Such fee is payable monthly and is equal to the annual rate, by
     Fund, shown in the table below, of the average daily net assets of the
     applicable Fund.

<TABLE>

                       ANNUAL RATE                        ANNUAL RATE

     <S>               <C>             <C>                <C>
     Equity I             0.60%        International         0.75%
     Equity II            0.75         Fixed Income I        0.30
     Equity III           0.60         Fixed Income II       0.50
     Equity Q             0.60         Fixed Income III      0.55
</TABLE>

     The management contract also provides that if any Fund's expenses
     (exclusive of interest and taxes) exceed specified limits imposed by the
     Manager on an annual basis, such excess will be paid by FRIMCo. The Manager
     of the Fixed Income III Fund voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
     0.55% management fee, to the extent total fund level expenses for the Fund
     exceed 0.75% of its average daily net assets on an annual basis. There were
     no waivers for the Fixed Income III Fund for the period ended June 30,
     1998.

     FRIMCo calculates its management fee based on average daily net assets for
     each Fund less any management fee incurred on assets invested in the Money
     Market Fund (see Note 5) thereby eliminating any duplication of fees.

     ANALYTIC SERVICES: Fees for analytic services provided to the Funds are
     paid or accrued to Frank Russell Company, an affiliate of the Investment
     Company. Frank Russell Company provides its TruVP System to the Funds,
     pursuant to a written Service Agreement. The TruVP System provides
     analytics used by the investment department. 

     TRANSFER AGENT: The Funds have a contract with FRIMCo, to provide transfer
     agent services to the Investment Company. Total fees for the six months
     ended June 30, 1998 were $912,381.

     DISTRIBUTOR: Russell Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a wholly
     owned subsidiary of FRIMCo, is the principal Distributor for Investment
     Company shares. The Distributor receives no compensation from the Funds for
     its services.

     Securities, Inc. will refund up to 70% of the commissions paid by that Fund
     after reimbursement for research services provided to FRIMCo. Amounts

TO OUR CLIENTS 

We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 1998 Semiannual
Report. This report covers information on five of the Funds and represents the
Funds' first six months of our seventeenth year in operation. 

We remain committed to providing our clients with superior investment solutions
through the benefits of multi-manager, multi-style diversification used in
structuring our Funds. The commitment proved worthwhile in the first six months
of 1998, as our Funds, in general, provided solid returns as compared to their
respective benchmarks and attracted many new investors, both creating
significant growth in assets. 

Frank Russell Investment Management Company (FRIMCo) continuously evaluates the
Funds we offer our clients. Each of these Funds is carefully monitored by
Russell investment professionals to ensure that the most appropriate investment
advisors and strategies are utilized within each Fund. The advisors are
monitored by FRIMCo, using the expertise and advice of the Investment Policy and
Research group of Frank Russell Company.   

Since the close of 1997, we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. The former Class
C shares of the Russell Funds have been renamed Russell Fund Class E shares, and
their fee structure now aligns with the Russell LifePoints-Registered Trademark-
Funds' Class E shares. Additionally, the Russell LifePoints-Registered
Trademark- Funds' Class D shares were opened for investment in March 1998. 

We are also pleased to announce FRIMCo has retained Boston Financial Data
Services (BFDS) to assist in the transfer agent process, effective June 1998. We
anticipate this change will enhance the level of services provided to our
clients. 

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to the remainder of 1998 and continuing to
earn your support. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ George F. Russell, Jr.              /s/ Lynn L. Anderson

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY

LIFEPOINTS-Registered Trademark- FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 28 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds." These financial statements report on five LifePoints-Registered
     Trademark- Funds, each of which has distinct investment objectives and
     strategies. The Investment Company is registered under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
     investment company. It is organized and operates as a Massachusetts
     business trust under an amended master trust agreement dated July 26, 1984.
     The Investment Company's master trust agreement permits the Board of
     Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of
     beneficial interest at a $.01 par value.

     Beginning March 24, 1998 the Funds made available Class D shares in
     addition to their Class E shares. Each class has equal rights as to assets
     and voting privileges. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and
     losses and fund level expenses of  a Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis
     to each Class, based on relative net assets of each Class to the total net
     assets of a Fund. Certain expenses may also be charged to an individual
     Class for services or fees that relate specifically to that particular
     Class. Class D shares are charged a 12b-1 distribution fee not to exceed
     0.25% and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%. Class E shares are charged
     a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25%.

     Each of the LifePoints Funds allocates its assets by investing in a
     combination of Class S shares of the Investment Company's portfolios (the
     "Underlying Funds"). Each of the LifePoints Funds will adjust its
     investments within set limits based on Frank Russell Investment Management
     Company's ("FRIMCo" or "Manager") outlook for the economy, financial
     markets and relative market valuation of the asset classes represented by
     each Underlying Fund. However, the LifePoints Funds may deviate from set
     limits when, in FRIMCo's opinion, it is necessary to do so to pursue a
     LifePoints Fund's investment objective. The amounts allocated to each
     Underlying Fund by each LifePoints Fund will generally vary within 10% of
     the percentages specified below:

     OBJECTIVES OF THE UNDERLYING FUNDS:

     DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND: To provide income and capital growth by investing
     principally in equity securities.

     SPECIAL GROWTH FUND: To maximize total return primarily through capital
     appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is
     ordinarily expected from the Diversified Equity Fund, by investing in
     equity securities.

     QUANTITATIVE EQUITY FUND: To provide a total return greater than the total
     return of the US stock market as measured by the Russell 1000-Registered
     Trademark- Index over a market cycle of four to six years, while
     maintaining volatility and diversification similar to the Index by
     investing in equity securities.

     appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is

     Office of Shareholder Inquiries at (800) RUSSEL4, (800) 787-7354.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which require the use of management
     estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
     policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of these
     financial statements.

     SECURITY VALUATION:  Investments in Underlying Funds are valued at the net
     asset value per share of each Underlying Fund as of the close of regular
     trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Short-term investments having a
     maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost.

     INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:  Securities transactions of the Underlying Funds
     are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from
     securities transactions are recorded on the basis of specific identified
     cost.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: Distributions of income and capital gains from the
     Underling Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
     recorded on the accrual basis.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: As a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a
     separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and
     capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund's
     shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of
     the other Funds.

     It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company
     and distribute all of its taxable income. Therefore, no federal income tax
     provision was required for the Funds.

     The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of gross unrealized
     appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income
     tax purposes as of June 30, 1998 were as follows:

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Income dividends are generally
     declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions are generally
     declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be paid by the
     Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any remaining
     undistributed capital gains and net investment income.

     The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain
     distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations
     which may differ from GAAP. As a result, net investment income and net
     realized gain (or loss) from investment transactions for a reporting period
     may differ significantly from distributions during such period. The
     differences between tax regulations and GAAP relate primarily to certain
     securities sold at a loss. Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make
     reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts without impacting
     their net asset value.

     EXPENSES: The Funds incur shareholder servicing fees, management fees, and
     other operating expenses other than those expressly assumed by FRIMCo.
     Certain expenses not directly attributable to any one Fund but applicable
     to all Funds, such as Trustee fees, insurance, legal and other expenses
     will be allocated to each Fund based on each Fund's net assets. In
     addition, Class D and Class E will pay shareholder servicing fees and Class
     D will pay 12b-1 distribution fees. Expenses included in the accompanying
     financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include
     any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

     DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Organization costs of the Equity Balanced
     Strategy Fund, Aggressive Strategy Fund, Balanced Strategy Fund, and
     Moderate Strategy Fund have been deferred and are being amortized over 60
     months on a straight-line basis.

3.   INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     SECURITIES: During the six months ended June 30, 1998, purchases and sales
     of the Underlying Funds were as follows:

     assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Manager voluntarily

TO OUR CLIENTS

We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 1998 Semiannual
Report. This report covers information on eight of the Funds and represents the
Funds' first six months of our seventeenth year in operation.

We remain committed to providing our clients with superior investment solutions
through the benefits of multi-manager, multi-style diversification used in
structuring our Funds. The commitment proved worthwhile in the first six months
of 1998, as our Funds, in general, provided solid returns as compared to their
respective benchmarks and attracted many new investors, both creating
significant growth in assets. 

Frank Russell Investment Management Company (FRIMCo) continuously evaluates the
Funds we offer our clients. Each of these Funds is carefully monitored by
Russell investment professionals to ensure that the most appropriate investment
advisors and strategies are utilized within each Fund. The advisors are
monitored by FRIMCo, using the expertise and advice of the Investment Policy and
Research group of Frank Russell Company.  

Since the close of 1997, we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. The former Class
C shares of the Russell Funds have been renamed Russell Fund Class E shares, and
their fee structure now aligns with the Russell LifePoints-Registered Trademark-
Funds' Class E shares. Additionally, the Russell LifePoints-Registered
Trademark- Funds' Class D shares were opened for investment in March 1998. 

We are also pleased to announce FRIMCo has retained Boston Financial Data
Services (BFDS) to assist in the transfer agent process, effective June 1998. We
anticipate this change will enhance the level of services provided to our
clients.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to the remainder of 1998 and continuing to
earn your support. 

Sincerely,


/s/ George F. Russell, Jr.              /s/ Lynn L. Anderson

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1998 (Unaudited)


1.   ORGANIZATION

     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 28 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds." These financial statements report on eight Funds, each of which
     has distinct investment objectives and strategies. The Investment Company
     is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
     diversified, open-end management investment company. It is organized and
     operates as a Massachusetts business trust under an amended master trust
     agreement dated July 26, 1984. The Investment Company's master trust
     agreement permits the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
     full and fractional shares of beneficial interest at a $.01 par value.

     Effective May 18, 1998, pursuant to approval of the Investment Company's
     Board of Trustees, Class C shares were renamed Class E shares. As of July
     8, 1996, the eight Funds that are reported in these financial statements
     have available Class S and Class E shares. Each Class has equal rights as
     to assets and voting privileges. Investment income, realized and unrealized
     gains and losses and fund level expenses of a Fund are allocated on a pro
     rata basis to each Class, based on relative net assets of each Class to the
     total net assets of a Fund. Certain expenses may also be charged to an
     individual Class for services or fees that relate specifically to that
     particular Class. Class E shares are charged a shareholder servicing fee of
     0.25% of average net assets. Class S shares are charged no such fees.
     Prior to May 18, 1998 Class E shares were charged a 12b-1 distribution fee
     and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.40% and 0.25% of average net assets,
     respectively.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which require the use of management
     estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
     policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of these
     financial statements.

     SECURITY VALUATION: United States equity and fixed-income securities listed
     and traded principally on any national securities exchange are valued on
     the basis of the last sale price or, lacking any sale, at the closing bid
     price, on the primary exchange on which the security is traded. United
     States over-the-counter equity and fixed-income securities and options are
     valued on the basis of the closing bid price. Futures contracts are valued
     on the basis of the last sale price. Many fixed-income securities do not
     trade each day and, thus, last sale or bid prices are frequently not
     available. Fixed-income securities, therefore, may be valued using prices
     provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the
     fair market value of such securities.

     International equity and fixed-income securities traded on a national
     securities exchange are valued on the basis of the last sale price.
     International securities traded over the counter are valued on the basis of
     the mean of bid prices. In the absence of a last sale or mean bid price,
     respectively, such securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided
     by a pricing service if those prices are believed to reflect the fair
     market value of such securities.

     Short-term investments held by the Funds maturing within 60 days of the
     valuation date are valued at "amortized cost" unless the Board of Trustees
     determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.

     The Funds may value certain securities for which market quotations are not
     readily available at "fair value," as determined in good faith pursuant to
     procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

     INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade
     date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are
     recorded on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money
     manager within a particular fund. The Funds may lend portfolio securities
     as approved by the Board of Trustees on April 27, 1998.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
     interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

     AMORTIZATION AND ACCRETION: All premiums and discounts, including original
     issue discounts, for the Funds are amortized/accreted for both tax and
     financial reporting purposes.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: As a Massachusetts business trust, each Fund is a
     separate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and
     capital gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to each Fund's
     shareholders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of
     the other Funds.

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


     It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company
     and distribute all of its taxable income. Therefore, no federal income tax
     provision was required for the Funds.

     At December 31, 1997, the following Fund had net tax basis capital loss
     carryforwards which may be applied against any net realized taxable gains
     in each succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates,
     whichever occurs first. Available capital loss carryforwards and expiration
     dates are as follows:

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: For all Funds, income
     dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the
     ex-dividend date. Dividends are generally declared and paid quarterly for
     the equity Funds, annually for the International Securities Fund and
     monthly for the fixed income Funds. Capital gain distributions are
     generally declared and paid annually. An additional distribution may be
     paid by the Funds to avoid imposition of federal income tax on any
     remaining undistributed capital gains and net investment income.

     The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain
     distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations
     which may differ from GAAP. As a result, net investment income and net
     realized gain (or loss) on investment and foreign currency-related
     transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
     distributions during such period. The differences between tax regulations
     and GAAP primarily relate to investments in options, futures, forward
     contracts, passive foreign investment companies, foreign-denominated
     investments, mortgage-backed securities, and certain securities sold at a
     loss. Accordingly, a Fund may periodically make reclassifications among
     certain of its capital accounts without impacting its net asset value.

     EXPENSES: The Funds, and when appropriate each Class, will pay their own
     expenses other than those expressly assumed by Frank Russell Investment
     Management Company ("FRIMCo" or "Manager). Most expenses can be directly
     attributed to the individual Funds. Expenses which cannot be directly
     attributed are allocated among all Funds principally based on their
     relative net assets. In addition, Class E shares will pay shareholder
     servicing fees along with other expenses that may be attributable to that
     Class. Prior to May 18, 1998, Class E shares were charged a 12b-1
     distribution fee.

     DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Organization costs of the Multistrategy
     Bond Fund were deferred and amortized over 60 months on a straight-line
     basis.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds may engage in repurchase agreements with
     several financial institutions whereby a Fund, through its custodian,
     receives delivery of underlying securities as collateral. Each Fund's Money
     Manager will monitor repurchase agreements daily to determine that the
     market value (including accrued interest) of the underlying securities at
     Fedwire closing time remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase
     price. The Money Manager will notify the Seller to immediately increase the
     collateral on the repurchase agreement to 102% of the repurchase price if
     collateral value falls below 102%.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Funds are
     maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts and transactions of
     the Funds are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

          (a)  Market value of investment securities, other assets and
               liabilities at the closing rate of exchange on the valuation
               date.

          (b)  Outstanding purchases and sales of investment securities and
               income at the closing rate of exchange prevailing on the
               respective trade dates of such transactions.

     Reported net realized gains or losses from foreign currency-related
     transactions arise from: sales and maturities of short-term securities;
     sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the
     trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference
     between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
     recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
     actually received or paid. Net unrealized gains or losses from foreign
     currency-related transactions arise from changes in the value of assets and
     liabilities, other than investments in securities, at period-end, as a
     result of changes in the exchange rates.

     It is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations of
     the Funds that arises as a result of changes in exchange rates from that
     portion that arises from changes in market prices of investments during the
     year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
     gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes the
     Funds do isolate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from the
     fluctuations arising from changes in market prices for realized gain (or
     loss) on debt obligations.

     DERIVATIVES: To the extent permitted by the investment objectives,
     restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement
     of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various
     derivative-based transactions. Derivative securities are instruments or
     agreements whose value is derived from an underlying security or index.
     They include options, futures, swaps, forwards, structured notes and
     stripped securities. These instruments offer unique characteristics and
     risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment strategies.

     The Funds typically use derivatives in three ways:  cash equitization,
     hedging, and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may
     be used by certain Funds through the use of options and futures to earn
     "market-like" returns with their excess and liquidity reserve cash
     balances. Hedging is used by some Funds to limit or control risks, such as
     adverse movements in exchange rates and interest rates. Return enhancement
     can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in a Fund. By purchasing
     certain instruments, Funds may more effectively achieve the desired
     portfolio characteristics that assist them in meeting their investment
     objectives. Depending on how the derivatives are structured and utilized,
     the risks associated with them may vary widely. These risks are generally
     categorized as market risk, liquidity risk and counterparty or credit risk.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: In connection with portfolio purchases
     and sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency, certain Funds
     may enter into foreign currency exchange spot contracts and forward foreign
     currency exchange contracts ("contracts"). The International Securities
     Fund may enter into foreign currency forward overlays on liquidity reserve
     balances. Additionally, from time to time the International Securities,
     Diversified Bond, Volatility Constrained Bond and Multistrategy Bond Funds
     may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency-denominated
     assets. Contracts are recorded at market value. Certain risks may arise
     upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
     counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally
     limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, that are
     recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or
     losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain (or
     loss) from foreign currency-related transactions. Open contracts at June
     30, 1998, are presented on the Statement of Net Assets for the applicable
     Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


     FORWARD COMMITMENTS: The Funds may contract to purchase securities for a
     fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time (i.e., a
     "forward commitment", "delayed settlement" or "when issued" transaction,
     e.g., to be announced ("TBA")) consistent with a Fund's ability to manage
     its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. The price of the
     underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
     and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The Funds
     may dispose of a forward commitment transaction prior to settlement if it
     is appropriate to do so and realize short-term gains (or losses) upon such
     sale. When effecting such transactions, cash or liquid high-grade debt
     obligations of the Fund in a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for
     the portfolio securities to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund's
     records at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled.
     A forward commitment transaction involves a risk of loss if the value of
     the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or the
     other party to the transaction fails to complete the transaction.

     OPTIONS: The Funds may purchase and sell (write) call and put options on
     securities and securities indices, provided such options are traded on a
     national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. These Funds
     may also purchase and sell call and put options on foreign currencies. The
     domestic equity Funds may utilize options to equitize liquidity reserve
     balances.

     When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the
     premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets
     and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of
     the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current
     market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale
     of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase
     in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund
     writes a put option it is exposed to a decline in the price of the
     underlying security. If an option which the Fund has written either expires
     on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing
     purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a
     closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option
     was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying
     security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a
     call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a
     capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the
     proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received.
     When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the
     premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a
     Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on
     purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from
     investments.

     The Funds' use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of
     market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets
     and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect
     the extent of the Funds' exposure to off balance sheet risk. The risks may
     be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
     instrument and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
     The Funds' activities in written options are conducted through regulated
     exchanges, which do not result in counterparty credit risks.

     FUTURES CONTRACTS: The domestic and international equity Funds utilize
     futures to equitize liquidity reserve balances. Multistrategy Bond Fund may
     utilize futures contracts (i.e., interest rate, foreign currency and index
     futures contracts) to a limited extent. The face or contract amounts of
     these instruments reflect the extent of the Funds' exposure to off balance
     sheet risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts
     are an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the
     securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the
     possibility of an illiquid market. Changes in the initial settlement values
     of futures contracts are accounted for as unrealized appreciation
     (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized
     gains and losses are recognized.

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


     SECURITIES LENDING: Effective April 27, 1998, the Investment Company
     resumed its securities lending program. The program allows each Fund to
     loan securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to certain
     brokers. The Fund receives cash (U.S. currency), U.S. Government or U.S.
     Government agency obligations as collateral against the loaned securities.
     To the extent that a loan is secured by cash collateral, such collateral
     shall be invested by Morgan Stanley Trust Company ("MSTC") in short-term
     instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term
     investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and
     diversification requirements. Under the securities-lending arrangement, the
     collateral received is recorded on the Fund's statement of assets and
     liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral. In
     those situations where the Company has relinquished control of securities
     transferred, it derecognizes the securities and records a receivable from
     the counterparty.

     Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated
     rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided
     between the Fund and MSTC and is included as interest income for the Fund.
     To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay
     the Fund negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Fund and
     MSTC and are included as interest income for the Fund. All collateral
     received will be in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of U.S.
     securities) or 105% (for non-U.S. securities) of the market value of the
     loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral must be
     maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
     securities during the period of the loan. Should the borrower of the
     securities fail financially, there is a risk of delay in recovery of the
     securities or loss of rights in the collateral. Consequently, loans are
     made only to borrowers which are deemed to be of good financial standing.
     As of June 30, 1998, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the
     value of collateral amounted to as follows:

4.   RELATED PARTIES

     MANAGER: FRIMCo operates and administers all of the Funds which comprise
     the Investment Company, and manages the Money Market and U.S. Government
     Money Market Funds (two series of the Investment Company not presented in
     this report). FRIMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Frank Russell Company,
     which researches and recommends to FRIMCo, and to the Investment Company,
     one or more investment management organizations to manage the portfolio of
     each Fund.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the management fee paid to FRIMCo,
     for the Funds listed below, in accordance with the Investment Company's
     Management Agreement with that firm, amounted to $21,077,352 before
     waivers. Such fee is payable monthly and is equal to the annual rate, by
     Fund, shown in the table below, of the average daily net assets of the
     applicable Fund.

     Quantitative Equity      0.78      Multistrategy Bond            0.65
</TABLE>


     The management contract also provides that if any Fund's expenses
     (exclusive of interest and taxes) exceed specified limits imposed by the
     Manager on an annual basis, such excess will be paid by FRIMCo.

     FRIMCo calculates its management fee based on average daily net assets for
     each Fund, less any management fee incurred on assets invested in the Money
     Market Fund (see Note 5) thereby eliminating any duplication of fees.

     ANALYTIC SERVICES: Fees for analytic services provided to the Funds are
     paid or accrued to Frank Russell Company, an affiliate of the Investment
     Company. Frank Russell Company provides TruVP System to the Funds, pursuant
     to a written Service Agreement. The TruVP System provides analytics used by
     the investment department.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


     TRANSFER AGENT: The Funds have a contract with FRIMCo to provide transfer
     agent services to the Investment Company. Total fees for the six months
     ended June 30, 1998 were $1,454,790.

     DISTRIBUTOR AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING: Prior to May 18, 1998, the
     Investment Company had a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the
     "Plan") under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company was
     authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any Selling Agents, as
     defined in the Plan, an amount (the "12b-1 Fee") for sales support services
     provided, and related expenses incurred which were primarily intended to
     result in the sale of the Class C shares subject to the Distribution Plan.
     Effective May 18, 1998, Class C shares were renamed Class E shares and the
     12b-1 fee was eliminated.

     The Investment Company has entered into a Distribution Agreement with
     Russell Fund Distributors (the "Distributor") which is a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of FRIMCo to promote and offer shares of Class S and Class E of
     the Investment Company Funds. The Distributor may enter into
     sub-distribution agreements with other non-affiliated parties (the
     "Selling/Servicing Agents"). The amounts paid to the Distributor prior to
     May 18, 1998 for distribution services relating to Class E are included in
     the accompanying Statements of Operations. Currently, the Distributor
     receives no compensation from the Investment Company for its services
     relating to distributing the Class S and Class E Shares.

     In addition, the Investment Company has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan
     (the "Services Plan") under which it may make payments to the Distributor
     or any Servicing Agent for any activities or expenses primarily intended to
     assist, support or service the Servicing Agents' clients who beneficially
     own Class E Shares of the Funds. The amounts paid to the Distributor for
     shareholder services relating to Class E are included in the accompanying
     Statements of Operations.

     The shareholder servicing payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average
     daily net assets of a Fund's Class E Shares on an annual basis. The
     Investment Company does not pay for unreimbursed expenses of the
     Distributor including amounts expended by the Distributor in excess of
     amounts received by it from the Investment Company, interest, carrying or
     other financial charges in connection with excess amounts expended, or the
     Distributor's overhead expenses. However, the Distributor may be able to
     recover such amount or more from future payments made by the Investment
     Company under the Distribution plan.
