TO OUR CLIENTS



We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 2000 Annual
Report. This report covers information on ten of the Funds and represents our
eighteenth 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 2000, 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 1999 we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. Class Y shares of
the Institutional Funds were opened for investment, and the LifePoints(R) Funds
added Class S shares during 2000. Additionally, the Tax-Managed Global Equity
Fund was opened for investment in January 2000, providing a diversified
asset-allocated product to compliment the existing tax-managed Russell funds.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to 2001 and continuing to earn your support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynn L. Anderson

Lynn L. Anderson.
Chairman of the Board

DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Diversified Equity Fund Class S,
Class E and Class C shares lost 4.28%, 4.49% and 5.07%, respectively. This
compared to a gain of 0.28% for the Russell 1000(R) Index.

The Fund's performance reflected the impact of both general stock market
transitions and Fund-specific manager changes implemented during the period.
During the first quarter of the year, active managers faced challenges from a
narrowly focused stock market that emphasized technology stocks at the expense
of most other sectors. During the last six months of the period, the market
trends reversed, ending with a value bias and a decidedly unfavorable climate
for technology. This reversal coupled with the Fund's new manager lineup, helped
produce solid late-period results.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
In a period that was highlighted by significant market volatility and sharp
switches in style and sector leadership, the Fund's structure was enhanced in
keeping with a changing market and index environment. After careful analysis, in
March 2000 the Fund's manager lineup was modified. Strong Capital Management, a
growth-stock manager with a mid-cap bias, and Turner Investment Partners, a
concentrated, large-cap growth manager were added to the Fund. Lincoln Capital
Management Company, a growth manager, and Trinity Investment Management Corp., a
value manager were terminated. At the same time, Barclays' assignment was
modified to focus more narrowly on value and eliminate midcap exposure, which
had become redundant under the new manager lineup. The Fund's manager structure
now includes a broader cap exposure on the growth side and a more diversified
value strategy.

The Fund trailed its benchmark during the first quarter as it felt the impact of
transition costs related to hiring the new managers. This effect on Fund results
also drove down performance through much of the remaining period. The last
several months of the period, however, provided a positive validation of the
changes implemented earlier in the year. Within the volatile Technology sector,
the Fund successfully de-emphasized personal computer and semiconductor stocks
such as Dell, Intel and Microsoft, while emphasizing rapidly growing Internet
infrastructure and fiber optics companies, such as Juniper, I2, and Integrated
Device Technology.

During the last three months of the period, the Fund's new manager lineup also
captured significant opportunity in both growth and value styles during the
stock market's unexpected switch from growth to value stocks. The Fund's
late-period positive performance reflected the potential benefits of broader cap
exposure in growth and a more diversified value strategy.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Diversified Equity Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November 1,
     1990.

**   Russell 1000(R) Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell
     3000(R) Index, the smallest of which is valued at about $1.6 billion. The
     Russell 1000(R) Index represents the universe of stocks from which most
     active money managers typically select. The Russell 1000(R) Index return
     reflects adjustments for income dividends and capital gains distributions
     reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

++   Diversified Equity Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. For the period May 26, 1997 (commencement
     of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service and Rule 12b-1
     distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current period, Class E
     paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would have been lower had
     these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ Diversified Equity Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
     with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

SPECIAL GROWTH FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the total returns for the Special
Growth Fund Class S, Class E and Class C shares were 9.76%, 9.53%, and 8.83%,
respectively. This compares favorably with the Russell 2500(TM) Index, which
gained 5.26% for the same period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
An extremely narrow market characterized the first quarter of the year, with
much of the performance generated by a small universe of stocks across several
sectors. Due to the Fund's broadly diversified investment strategy, this
environment proved to be particularly challenging. However, the Fund's approach
was rewarded during the last six months of the fiscal period, as the markets
finally broadened, although frequently changing favor between value and growth
styles. The volatility associated with this style leadership rotation was, in
part, mitigated by the Fund's strategic diversification.

A 50 basis point interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed)
in May increased investor concerns, and dealt a particularly harsh blow to
technology and telecommunications stocks. While the interest rate hike was the
Fed's final increase for the period, technology and telecommunications issues
maintained their high volatility and generally performed poorly through the end
of October. The Fund's diversification, which included an overweight allocation
to the Energy sector during that period, helped offset some of the disappointing
Technology stock returns.

The Fund's managers, particularly those with a growth-style mandate, showed a
strong mid-cap bias during the last three months of the period. This made a
positive contribution to returns, as most of this period's earnings strength
occurred within mid-cap equities. The mid-cap bias was based on stock
fundamentals rather than a long-term, tactical bias toward mid cap issues, and
the Fund's managers ended the fiscal period with what appeared to be a shift
toward smaller cap issues.

During the ten months of the period, the Fund's investment managers were
realigned. In March, CapitalWorks, a manager with a focus on higher growth and
higher valuations was retained. This move helped eliminate any inadvertent bets
against the higher growth segment of the market. Subsequently, during the second
quarter, the Fund's returns were boosted as CapitalWorks outperformed. At the
same time, the Fund terminated Wellington, as their portfolio fell below the
market cap of the Russell 2500(TM) Index.

During the final two months of the period, David J. Greene and Co., a small-cap
value manager, was added to the Fund's lineup.

Greene's concentrated stock picking strategy is complimentary to the other two
value managers, Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc. and Delphi Management, Inc.
Within the growth segment of the Fund, Fiduciary Trust International was
replaced with TimesSquare Capital Management, Inc. subsequent to Fiduciary's
investment team transitioning to TimesSquare.

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Special Growth Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November 1, 1990.

**   Russell 2500(TM) Index is composed of the bottom 500 stocks in the Russell
     1000(R) Index and all the stocks in the Russell 2000(R) Index. The largest
     security in this index has a market capitalization of about $4.0 billion.
     The Russell 2500(TM) Index return reflects adjustments for income dividends
     and capital gains distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

++   Special Growth Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. For the period November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service
     and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current
     period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would have
     been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ Special Growth Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
     Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

EQUITY INCOME FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Equity Income Fund Class S, Class
E and Class C shares returned 0.66%, 0.46%, and (0.17)% respectively, as
compared to the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, which gained 5.84%.

The Fund faced a difficult first quarter, as growth issues, particularly
technology stocks, vastly outperformed value stocks. However, the climate
abruptly changed in March 2000 and the Fund's value managers began to enjoy a
much more favorable, although highly volatile, climate.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
A high level of confidence and a more speculative investment philosophy marked
the beginning of the fiscal period. This provided significant challenges for
value investors, as valuation models performed poorly in a world driven almost
exclusively by price momentum. Further complicating matters for diversified
investors, sector concentration, notably in the Technology arena, provided an
exceptionally narrow window for investment opportunities.

However, by the end of the first quarter, value managers began to feel
vindicated. Beginning in March, investors experienced an abrupt turnaround from
growth to value investing and the long-favored Technology sector fell
dramatically, as market opportunities broadened. During the remainder of the
period, market breadth increased substantially, and the Fund's diversification
was again a benefit. Strong stock selection in the Utilities, Consumer
Discretionary, and Health Care sectors contributed to the Fund's late-period
rally. During this time, overweight positions in JP Morgan and St. Paul (both
issues within the Financials sector), Reliant Energy (Utilities), and Boeing
(Producer Durables), as well as an underweight position in Worldcom (Utilities),
added to the Fund's overall returns.

The Fund's performance was also affected by a second quarter modification to the
investment manager lineup. After careful consideration, the Fund terminated
Trinity Investment Management Corp. and retained Barclays Global Fund Advisors
in April 2000. This provided an additional level of diversification for the
Fund, and helped align the portfolio with the changing nature of the value
indexes. Barclays utilizes a process that incorporates earnings momentum into
its portfolio building approach. This helps give the Fund broader coverage of
the former growth-oriented stocks that have become part of the value segment of
the Russell 1000(R) Index since the June reconstitution of the Index. That
annual evaluation revealed that some slower-growth companies had become value
stocks as extremely high-growth issues, such as technology stocks, crowded them
out of the growth segment of the Russell 1000(R) Index.

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Equity Income Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November 1, 1990.

**   Russell 1000(R) Value Index includes stocks from the Russell 1000(R) Index
     with a less than average growth orientation. The Index represents the
     universe of stocks from which most price-driven managers typically select.
     The Russell 1000 Value Index return reflects adjustments for income
     dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend
     dates.

++   Equity Income Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. For the period November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service
     and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current
     period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would have
     been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ Equity Income Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
     Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

QUANTITATIVE EQUITY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Quantitative Equity Fund Class S,
Class E and Class C shares returned 0.47%, 0.11% and (0.16)%, respectively, as
compared to the Russell 1000(R) Index, which gained 0.28%.

The Fund's performance was influenced by the market's first quarter shift from
an emphasis on growth stocks to an environment that favored value issues. This
factor, coupled with the market's extreme volatility, provided continual
challenges for both diversified investors and active managers. However, through
maintaining full exposure to all economic sectors, the Fund's managers were able
to mitigate some of the market's unpredictability.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Investor enthusiasm and speculation dominated the market during the first
quarter, with growth stocks, particularly the technology and Internet-related
shares, posting extraordinary returns. Further complicating matters for
diversified investors, sector concentration, notably in the Technology arena,
provided an exceptionally narrow window for investment opportunities.

The Fund's market-oriented managers faced this challenging environment by
capitalizing on their risk-controlled sector constraints. Early in the period,
the managers' benchmark-mandated sector exposures in Producer Durables (e.g.
Nokia), Technology (Cisco, Oracle, Texas Instruments), and Financial Services
(Morgan Stanley) boosted returns.

During the final months of the period, the managers generally maintained caution
by assuming a more conservative investment discipline with regard to valuation.
Given concerns over earnings estimates and the uncertainty surrounding the
presidential election, the Fund's managers retained more positions in order to
control risk levels versus their strategy during more stable market conditions.
Some solid late-period stock decisions included benchmark-relative underweight
positions in Lucent (Technology) and Sprint (Utilities), and overweights in Sun
Microsystems (Technology), Alza (Health Care), Citigroup (Financials), and
Lehman (Financials).

*      Quantitative Equity Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November
       1, 1990.

**     Russell 1000(R) Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell
       3000(R) Index, the smallest of which is valued at about $1,124.8 million.
       The Russell 1000(R) Index represents the universe of stocks from which
       most active money managers typically select. The Russell 1000(R) Index
       return reflects adjustments for income dividends and capital gains
       distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

++     Quantitative Equity Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E
       to provide historical perspective. For the period November 4, 1996
       (commencement of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service
       and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current
       period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would
       have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
       periods.

++++   Quantitative Equity Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
       with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
       (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
       shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would
       have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
       periods.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the International Securities Fund
Class S, Class E and Class C shares lost 12.40%, 12.58%, and 13.13%,
respectively. This compared to the Salomon Smith Barney BMI World ex-US, which
lost 11.57%, and the MSCI EAFE Index which lost 13.71% during the same period.

The Fund's performance was mixed, and was a result of the international markets'
sector rotations. This was similar to the US markets' behavior during the year,
as both growth managers and value managers enjoyed periods during which their
style was favored.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Similar to the US markets, the performance of international Technology and
Telecommunications sectors exceeded all others during the first quarter. This
benefited the Fund's growth managers, but penalized those managers trying to
adhere to strict valuation disciplines.

During the first quarter, currency movements had a significant impact on
returns. The decline in the Euro muted European gains, while the gain in the Yen
boosted returns from Japan. However, while Japan's outlook remained strong
during the first half of the year, investors became impatient with the pace of
the country's restructuring effort later in the period and returns suffered as a
result.

Second quarter was a difficult time internationally, just as it was in the US.
During this period, growth managers faced a steep decline in technology and
telecommunications issues, while value managers gained some ground in this
environment. The Fund managers' stock selection, particularly in Germany where
holdings of Jenoptik (Technology), Systematics (Information Technology), Consors
Discount (Banking) contributed positive results to performance.

By mid-year, international markets lost ground amidst extreme sector rotation,
heightened volatility and the "tech wreck", which dramatically cut valuations
for technology issues.

The Fund's manager lineup was broadened during the second quarter with the
addition of Driehaus Capital Management, Inc. and Marvin & Palmer Associates,
Inc. Driehaus and Marvin & Palmer were both retained to expand the Fund's
aggressive growth exposure, and as a result, existing growth managers' asset
allocation was rebalanced.

*    International Securities Fund Class S assumes initial investment on
     November 1, 1990.

**   Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East (MSCI
     EAFE) Index is an index composed of an arithmetic, market value-weighted
     average of the performance of approximately 1,600 securities listed on the
     stock exchange of the countries of Europe, Australia, and the Far East. The
     index is calculated on a total-return basis, which includes reinvestment of
     gross dividends before deduction of withholding taxes.

++   International Securities Fund Class S performance has been linked with
     Class E to provide historical perspective. For the period November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service
     and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current
     period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would have
     been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ International Securities Fund Class S and Class E performance has been
     linked with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27,
     1999 (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
     shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would
     have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
     periods.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.

EMERGING MARKETS FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


Objective: To provide maximum total return, primarily through capital
appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily
expected from developed market international portfolios, by investing
principally in equity securities.

Invests in: Primarily emerging market equity securities.

Strategy: The Fund uses a multi-manager strategy intended to achieve higher
returns with moderate risk when compared to either single country or region
emerging markets investments. The Fund employed the investment management
services of five managers with four separate approaches to global emerging
markets investment.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Emerging Markets Fund Class S,
Class E, and Class C shares lost 25.79%, 25.90%, and 26.51%, respectively, as
compared to a 27.28% loss for the IFC Investable Composite Index.

Global weakness in the Technology sector plagued both the markets and the Fund
for most of the ten months, resulting in lower absolute returns. However,
benchmark-relative performance was favorable for the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Like their counterparts in developed countries, emerging markets technology and
telecommunications issues made a strong showing during the first part of the
year, but were also responsible for a sizable portion of the downturn that
followed. Weakness in the Technology sector began to appear as early as March,
and the difficulties continued through the remainder of the year. By the final
three months of the period, overall market weaknesses were attributed to fears
of a global economic slowdown, high oil prices and a downturn in both sentiment
and prospects for technology companies. Investors also registered their
impatience with the progress of economic reforms and political instability in
some countries, including Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, and Taiwan. This resulted in
a bias towards 'safe' markets that didn't experience these inherent problems.

During a difficult environment for emerging markets, the Fund generally paced,
and sometimes outperformed, its benchmark. This economic climate also helped
illustrate the benefits of diversification. As the investing climate changed
during the year, so did manager successes. The Fund's growth managers held their
edge during the first part of the year, but their performance declined with the
overall downturn in the technology and telecommunications sectors. Late-period
strong performance from the Fund's managers employing valuation as part of their
investment selection process, notably Sanford Bernstein, helped offset the
technology bets made previously by the more aggressive market-oriented managers.

**        International Finance Corporation (IFC) Investable Composite Index is
          a market capitalization-weighted index of the performance of
          securities listed on the stock exchange(s) of the countries included

          reflects the accessibility of markets and individual stocks to foreign
          investors.
++        Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
          investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995,
          Fund performance results are reported net of investment management
          fees but gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning
          these fees can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.
++++      Extended Barings Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-
          weighted index of companies' performance within 20 countries in
          Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
(S)       Annualized.
(S)(S)    Emerging Markets Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E
          to provide historical perspective. For the period September 22, 1998
          (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class E paid
          shareholder servicing and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return
          would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
          reporting periods.
(S)(S)(S) Emerging Markets Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
          with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
          (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
          shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return
          would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
          reporting periods.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Investments in emerging market countries involve exposure to economic structures
that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems which can
be expected to have less stability than those of more developed countries.
Securities may be less liquid and more volatile than US or longer established
international markets. Please see the Prospectus for further details.

REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Real Estate Securities Fund's
Class S, Class E and Class C shares gained 18.53%, 18.24%, and 17.54%,
respectively. This compared favorably to the 16.55% return for the NAREIT Equity
REIT Index. The stock selection strategies employed by the Fund's managers
proved highly effective in capturing opportunities over the period.

The Fund's performance for the ten month period reinforced the reasons for
including real estate in a diversified portfolio. As the equities market faced
increasing challenges, particularly from the Technology sector, real estate
showed improving strength as investors looked for an asset class to hedge
against the volatility in the stock market.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the period, fundamentals improved and REIT prices generally rose,
however, sector leadership roles changed from quarter to quarter. The Fund and
the Index enjoyed a particularly strong first quarter, with Lodging/Resorts
posting the strongest sector gains. Lagging the group during that period was
Health Care, Manufactured Housing, and free-standing Retail. However, during the
second quarter the Office and Multi-Family sectors took the lead, while Health
Care, along with the Office and Residential sectors turned in strong results in
the final months of the period.

Notably, cash flows into REITS have reversed course this year. Although still
tepid, approximately $400 million in new capital flowed into REITS during 2000,
after approximately $900 million exited REITS during 1999, a particularly poor
performing year for real estate investors.

The Real Estate Securities Fund's manager lineup was expanded in March with the
addition of Security Capital Global Capital Management Group. This manager
focuses on companies with the ability to generate strong net cash flows, with
effective underlying management strategies, financial flexibility, and sources
of growth. The addition of Security Capital resulted in a change in the
allocation of the Fund's assets. Security Capital's target allocation is 25%
while Cohen and Steers Capital Management's new target allocation is 45%, down
from 70%. AEW Capital Management's 30% allocation remained unchanged.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Real Estate Securities Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November
     1, 1990.

**   NAREIT Equity REIT Index is an index composed of all the data based on the
     last closing price of the month for all tax-qualified REITs listed on the
     New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and the NASDAQ National
     Market System. The data is market value-weighted. The total-return
     calculation is based upon whether it is 1-month, 3-months or 12-months.
     Only those REITs listed for the entire period are used in the total return
     calculation.

++   Real Estate Securities Fund Class S performance has been linked with
     Class E to provide historical perspective. For the period, November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) through May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the
     current period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return
     would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
     periods.

++++ Real Estate Securities Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
     with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

SHORT-TERM BOND FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Short-Term Bond Fund Class S,
Class E, and Class C shares gained 5.64%, 5.36%, and 4.67%, respectively. This
compared to a 5.72% return for the Merrill Lynch 1-2.99 Years Treasury Index.

The Fund's performance reflected the advantage that US Treasuries held over
corporate securities for most of the fiscal period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
 After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

The Fund's fiscal period performance results generally benefited from the
portfolio's yield advantage.  However, Fund returns did experience some setbacks
due to its exposure in the poor performing corporate sector.

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*      Short-Term Bond Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November 1,
       1990.
**     Merrill Lynch 1-2.99 Years Treasury Index is an index composed of
       approximately 160 issues in the form of publicly placed, coupon-bearing
       US Treasury debt. Issues must carry a term to maturity of at least one
       year, and par amounts outstanding must be no less than $10 million at the
       start and at the close of the performance measurement periods.
++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.
++++   Short-Term Bond Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
       provide historical perspective. From February 18, 1999 (commencement of
       sale) through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees.
       Total return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during
       prior reporting periods.
++++++ Short-Term Bond Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
       Class C to provide historical perspective. From March 3, 1999
       (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
       shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would
       have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
       periods.
(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Diversified Bond Fund Class S,
Class E and Class C shares gained 7.40%, 7.25%, and 6.44%, respectively. This
compared to a 7.83% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund's performance reflected its diversified strategy, with managers
following somewhat divergent paths regarding spreads. While all of the Fund's
managers took a careful approach because of the volatility of current market
conditions, a few saw the year's spread widening as an opportunity to add excess
yield to their portfolios. Other Fund managers interpreted the widening as a
cautionary sign. All of the managers focused on adding high quality issues to
their portfolio during the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

The Fund's managers placed emphasis on intermediate maturities during the final
three months of the period, which proved advantageous as the yield curve
steepened. The Fund's managers favored high quality corporate issues, mortgages
and asset-backed issues throughout the period.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Diversified Bond Fund Class S assumes initial investment on
     November 1, 1990.

**   Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from Lehman
     Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index,
     and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return comprises price
     appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original
     investment. Indexes are rebalanced monthly by market capitalization.

++   Diversified Bond Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. For the period November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) to May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder service
     and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the current
     period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return would have
     been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ Diversified Bond Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
     Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

MULTISTRATEGY BOND FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


OBJECTIVE: To provide maximum total return, primarily through capital
appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily
expected from broad fixed-income market portfolios.

INVESTS IN: Fixed-income securities.

STRATEGY: The Fund uses a multi-style, multi-manager strategy intended to
achieve higher returns by assuming the additional risk of investment in
non-investment grade US fixed income securities, and foreign bonds including
emerging markets debt in addition to US investment grade fixed income
instruments. The Fund employed the investment management services of four
managers, each employing a distinct approach to the Broad Market-Sector Rotation
style.

MULTISTRATEGY BOND FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Multistrategy Bond Fund Class S, Class
E and Class C shares gained 6.56%, 6.46%, and 5.77%, respectively. This compared
to a 7.83% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund's wide variety of non-Treasury issues across many fixed-income sectors
left it exposed to the general underperformance of corporate bonds, particularly
high-yield issues. However, emerging markets issues were strong, particularly
during much of the first and second quarters, and performance from mortgages
also helped offset the lackluster performance of corporate issues.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Multistrategy Bond Fund Class S assumes initial investment on January 29,
     1993. Lehman Brothers Index comparison for the initial investment began
     February 1, 1993.

**   Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from Lehman
     Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index,
     and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return comprises price
     appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original
     investment. Indexes are rebalanced monthly by market capitalization.

++   Multistrategy Bond Fund S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. For the period September 11, 1998
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class E paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

++++ Multistrategy Bond Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
     with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Tax Exempt Bond Fund Class S,
Class E, and Class C shares gained 5.37%, 5.17%, and 4.53%, respectively. This
compared to a 5.90% return for the Lehman Brothers Municipal 1-10 Year Index.

The Fund generally maintained a longer benchmark-relative duration, which during
the periods of rising interest rates resulted in underperformance versus the
Index. However, by the final three months of the fiscal period, this slightly
longer duration provided a boost to Fund returns.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds. During the
same period, the municipal curve also flattened, however, it did not invert.

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Tax Exempt Bond Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November 1,
     1990.

**   Salomon Smith Barney 3-Month Treasury Bill Index consists of equal dollar
     amounts of three-month Treasury bills purchased at the beginning of each of
     three consecutive months. As each bill matures, all proceeds are rolled
     over or reinvested in a new three-month bill. The income used to calculate
     the monthly return is derived by subtracting the original amount invested
     from the maturity value.

++   Tax Exempt Bond Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E to
     provide historical perspective. From February 18, 1999 (commencement of
     sale) through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees.
     Total return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during
     prior reporting periods.

++++ Tax Exempt Bond Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
     Class C to provide historical perspective. From March 29, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been

TAX-MANAGED LARGE CAP FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Tax-Managed Large Cap Fund Class
S and Class C shares lost 1.39%, and 2.30%, respectively. This compared to a
loss of 1.87% for the S&P 500/(R)/ Index during the same period.

The Fund's performance as a highly tax efficient investment vehicle generally
kept pace with the benchmark, however, overall returns were impacted by
difficult market conditions and a dramatically changing investment environment.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter of the year, active managers faced challenges from a
narrowly focused stock market that emphasized Technology stocks at the expense
of most other sectors. During the remainder of the period, the market broadened,
although its favor continued to fluctuate between growth and value. It ended
with a value bias and a decidedly unfavorable climate for technology.

The Fund began the period with solid stock selections in the Health Care sector
(Human Genome Sciences), as well as beneficial overweighted positions in Sun
Microsystems (Technology), Global Crossing (Telecom Services), and Exodus
Communications (Communications). However, weaker stock selections in the
Financials sector (US Bancorp) and benchmark-relative underweight positions in
Qualcomm and Nortel Networks (both Technology) pulled down the previously
stellar performers.

Improving the returns of large-cap stocks proved to be challenging for the Fund,
particularly during the final months of the fiscal period. During the quarter
ending in September, the performance differential between style and
capitalization was extreme, with the largest capitalization stocks lagging their
smaller counterparts significantly. Within the Russell 1000/(R)/ Growth Index,
the largest capitalization stocks lost 10.40% for the quarter, while the
medium/large-cap tier gained 6.20%. Within the Russell 1000/(R)/ Value Index,
the largest capitalization tier benefited from the switch to value stocks,
returning 6.10%, but it still trailed the value index's medium/large-cap tier,
which returned 11.20%. As the Fund is structured similar to the S&P 500/(R)/
Index in terms of market capitalization, its performance results were also, in
part, affected by these style biases.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*   The Fund commenced operations on October 7, 1996. Index comparison began
    October 1, 1996.

**  The Standard & Poor's/(R)/ 500 Composite Stock Price Index is composed of
    500 common stocks which are chosen by Standard & Poor's Corporation to best
    capture the price performance of a large cross-section of the US publicly
    traded stock market. The Index is structured to approximate the general
    distribution of industries in the US economy.

++  Tax-Managed Large Cap Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class C
    to provide historical perspective. For the period December 6, 1999
    (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
    service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been lower
    had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S) Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

TAX-MANAGED SMALL CAP FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Tax-Managed Small Cap Fund Class
S and Class C shares gained 4.08%, and 3.52%, respectively. This compared to the
return of 1.63% for the Russell Small Cap Completeness(TM) Index.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Geewax, Terker & Co., assumes responsibility for managing the Fund's growth and
value assignments through two distinct portfolios of investments. Geewax, Terker
faced significant challenges during the beginning of the year. Geewax missed the
opportunities presented by the extreme upward advance of Internet and
Internet-related technology stocks. The Manager's emphasis on financial quality,
and actual earnings with reasonable valuations prevented them from participating
in the market's narrow advance dominated by these speculative stocks. In the
growth arena, Geewax chose to limit exposure to aggressively valued technology
stocks, particularly Internet issues in what turned out to be a price
momentum-dominated market. However, this cautious investment strategy was
rewarded during the last six months of the period, as the markets finally
broadened, sharply cutting technology stock valuations, and rapidly rotating
performance among sectors.

The markets' volatility was illustrated through its frequently changing bias
between value and growth styles. The Fund's allocation to value stocks resulted
in a slightly lower exposure to this investment style when, in March, value
investing gained an edge and generally overshadowed growth performance for the
rest of the period.

A 50 basis point interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed)
in May marked the beginning of a market slide that dealt a particularly harsh
blow to technology, media and telecommunications stocks. While this interest
rate hike was the Fed's final increase for the period, these securities remained
highly volatile and generally performed poorly through the end of October.

The Fund's diversification, which included strong stock selection across various
sectors such as Financial Services, Retail, and Utilities, helped boost returns
despite the drop in Technology. Throughout the period, the manager's stock
selection within the Health Care sector, however, detracted from performance.
The Fund did not fully participate in the spectacular, but highly speculative,
returns from the biotechnology companies and remained underweight in this
sector.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*  The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 1999. Index comparison began
   December 1, 1999.

** The Russell Small Cap Completeness(TM) Index measures the performance of the
   companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index excluding the companies in the
   standard & Poor's(R) 500 Index.

++ Tax-Managed Small Cap Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class C
   to provide historical perspective. For the period December 2, 1999
   (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
   service fees. Total return would have been lower had these fees been in
   effect during prior reporting periods.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2000

1.  ORGANIZATION
    Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
    mutual fund with 29 different investment portfolios, referred to as "Funds."
    These financial statements report on thirteen 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.

    The Investment Company's Board of Trustees approved a change in the Funds'
    fiscal year end from December 31 to October 31. As a result, this financial
    report reflects the ten-month period commencing on January 1, 2000 through
    October 31, 2000.

    On February 26, 1999, the Fixed Income II Fund acquired all the net assets
    of the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization
    approved by the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund shareholders. The
    acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 8,934,738 shares of
    the Fixed Income II Fund (valued at $163,684,403) for the 8,932,673 shares
    of the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund on February 26, 1999. The Volatility
    Constrained Bond Fund's net assets of $163,684,403, including $495,215 of
    unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fixed Income II
    Fund which changed its name to the Short Term Bond Fund. The aggregate net
    assets of the Fixed Income II Fund and the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund
    immediately before the acquisition were $320,538,146 and $163,684,403,
    respectively.

    In addition, the Short Term Bond Fund made a reclassification among certain
    of its capital accounts to reflect the acquisition of the Volatility
    Constrained Bond Fund, without impacting its net asset value. The following
    reclassification was made for the year ended December 31, 1999:

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.

    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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

October 31, 2000

    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 and capital gains. Therefore, no
    federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.

    At October 31, 2000, the following 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:

    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, certain securities sold at a loss
    and by recording gains and losses from securities transactions on the basis
    of specific identified cost incurred by each money manager for financial
    reporting purposes and on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by
    each Fund for tax purposes.

    The following reclassifications have been made to reflect activity for the
ten months ended October 31, 2000:

    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)  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.

    The Funds do not 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 forward foreign currency overlays on liquidity reserve
    balances. Additionally, from time to time the International Securities,
    Emerging Markets, Diversified 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 October 31, 2000 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 (not to exceed
    120 days) (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.

    INVESTMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS: Investing in emerging markets may involve
    special risks and considerations for the Emerging Markets Fund not typically
    associated with investing in the United States markets. These risks include
    revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation 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.

    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.

    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.

 3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
    SECURITIES: During the ten months ended October 31, 2000 and the year ended
    December 31, 1999, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding
    U.S. Government and Agency obligations, short-term investments, options,
    futures and repurchase agreements) were as follows:

    shares of the Investment Company's portfolios) and the Funds listed below,
    with the exception of the Equity Income Fund and the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund,
    the "Underlying Funds" in which the Fund of Funds invest, expenses from the
    operation of the Fund of Funds are borne by the Underlying Funds based on
    each Underlying Fund's proportionate share of assets owned by the Fund of
    Funds. No Underlying Funds will be charged expenses that exceed the
    estimated savings to each respective Underlying Fund. These estimated
    savings result from the elimination of separate shareholder accounts which
    either currently are or have potential to be invested in the Underlying
    Funds. In the event that the financial benefits to the Underlying Funds do
    not exceed aggregate expenses of any Fund of Fund, the Advisor will
    reimburse the respective Underlying Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Frank Russell Investment Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of net assets, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the series of Frank Russell
Investment Company (in this report comprised of Diversified Equity, Special
Growth, Equity Income, Quantitative Equity, International Securities, Emerging
Markets, Real Estate Securities, Short Term Bond, Diversified Bond,
Multistrategy Bond, Tax Exempt Bond, Tax-Managed Large Cap, and Tax-Managed
Small Cap (the "Funds")) at October 31, 2000, the results of each of their
operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

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% off average managed assets will reduce a 10.0%
Semiannual 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 2000 Annual
Report. This report covers information on ten of the Funds and represents our
nineteenth 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 2000, 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 1999 we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. Class Y shares of
the Institutional Funds were opened for investment, and the LifePoints/(R)/
Funds added Class S shares during 2000. Additionally, the Tax-Managed Global
Equity Fund was opened for investment in January 2000, providing a diversified
asset-allocated product to compliment the existing tax-managed Russell funds.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to 2001 and continuing to earn your support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynn L. Anderson

Lynn L. Anderson.
Chairman of the Board
Frank Russell Investment Company

EQUITY I FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Equity I Fund Class I, Class E
and Class Y shares lost 3.80%, 4.02% and 3.75%, respectively. This compared to a
gain of 0.28% for the Russell 1000/(R)/ Index.

The Fund's performance reflected the impact of both general stock market
transitions and Fund-specific manager changes implemented during the period.
During the first quarter of the year, active managers faced challenges from a
narrowly focused stock market that emphasized technology stocks at the expense
of most other sectors. During the last six months of the period, the market
trends reversed, ending with a value bias and a decidedly unfavorable climate
for technology. This reversal coupled with the Fund's new manager lineup, helped
produce solid late-period results.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
In a period that was highlighted by significant market volatility and sharp
switches in style and sector leadership, the Fund's structure was enhanced in
keeping with a changing market and index environment. After careful analysis, in
March 2000 the Fund's manager lineup was modified. Strong Capital Management, a
growth-stock manager with a mid-cap bias, and Turner Investment Partners, a
concentrated, large-cap growth manager were added to the Fund. Lincoln Capital
Management Company, a growth manager, and Trinity Investment Management Corp., a
value manager were terminated. At the same time, Barclays' assignment was
modified to focus more narrowly on value and eliminate midcap exposure, which
had become redundant under the new manager lineup. The Fund's manager structure
now includes a broader cap exposure on the growth side and a more diversified
value strategy.

The Fund trailed its benchmark during the first quarter as it felt the impact of
transition costs related to hiring the new managers. This effect on Fund results
also drove down performance through much of the remaining period. The last
several months of the period, however, provided a positive validation of the
changes implemented earlier in the year. Within the volatile Technology sector,
the Fund successfully de-emphasized personal computer and semiconductor stocks
such as Dell, Intel and Microsoft, while emphasizing rapidly growing Internet
infrastructure and fiber optics companies, such as Juniper, I2, and Integrated
Device Technology.

During the last three months of the period, the Fund's new manager lineup also
captured significant opportunity in both growth and value styles during the
stock market's unexpected switch from growth to value stocks. The Fund's late-
period positive performance reflected the potential benefits of broader cap
exposure in growth and a more diversified value strategy.

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*      Equity I Fund Class I assumes initial investment on November 1, 1990.

**     Russell 1000/(R)/ Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the
       Russell 3000/(R)/ Index, the smallest of which is valued at about $1.6
       billion. The Russell 1000/(R)/ Index represents the universe of stocks
       from which most active money managers typically select. The Russell
       1000/(R)/ Index return reflects adjustments for income dividends and
       capital gains distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.

++++   Equity I Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class E to provide
       historical perspective. From May 14, 1999 (commencement of sale) through
       the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees. Total return
       would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

++++++ Equity I Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class Y to provide
       historical perspective.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)



OBJECTIVE: To maximize total return primarily through capital appreciation and
by assuming a higher level of volatility than the Equity I Fund.

INVESTS IN: Primarily small capitalization and "emerging growth-type" US equity
securities.

STRATEGY: The Fund uses a multi-style, multi-manager strategy intended to
achieve higher returns with moderate risk. The Fund employed the investment
management services of eight small capitalization stock fund managers with three
separate and distinct investment styles.

EQUITY II FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the total returns for the Equity II
Fund Class I, Class E and Class Y shares were 9.73%, 9.49%, and 9.73%,
respectively. This compares favorably with the Russell 2500/(TM)/ Index, which
gained 5.26% for the same period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
An extremely narrow market characterized the first quarter of the year, with
much of the performance generated by a small universe of stocks across several
sectors. Due to the Fund's broadly diversified investment strategy, this
environment proved to be particularly challenging. However, the Fund's approach
was rewarded during the last six months of the fiscal period, as the markets
finally broadened, although frequently changing favor between value and growth
styles. The volatility associated with this style leadership rotation was, in
part, mitigated by the Fund's strategic diversification.

A 50 basis point interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed)
in May increased investor concerns, and dealt a particularly harsh blow to
technology and telecommunications stocks. While the interest rate hike was the
Fed's final increase for the period, technology and telecommunications issues
maintained their high volatility and generally performed poorly through the end
of October. The Fund's diversification, which included an overweight allocation
to the Energy sector during that period, helped offset some of the disappointing
Technology stock returns.

The Fund's managers, particularly those with a growth-style mandate, showed a
strong mid-cap bias during the last three months of the period. This made a
positive contribution to returns, as most of this period's earnings strength
occurred within mid-cap equities. The mid-cap bias was based on stock
fundamentals rather than a long-term, tactical bias toward mid cap issues, and
the Fund's managers ended the fiscal period with what appeared to be a shift
toward smaller cap issues.

During the ten months of the period, the Fund's investment managers were
realigned. In March, CapitalWorks, a manager with a focus on higher growth and
higher valuations was retained. This move helped eliminate any inadvertent bets
against the higher growth segment of the market. Subsequently, during the second
quarter, the Fund's returns were boosted as CapitalWorks outperformed. At the
same time, the Fund terminated Wellington, as their portfolio fell below the
market cap of the Russell 2500/(TM)/ Index.

During the final two months of the period, David J. Greene and Co., a small-cap
value manager, was added to the Fund's lineup. Greene's concentrated stock
picking strategy is complimentary to the other two value managers, Jacobs Levy
Equity Management, Inc. and Delphi Management, Inc. Within the growth segment of
the Fund, Fiduciary Trust International was replaced with TimesSquare Capital
Management, Inc. subsequent to Fiduciary's investment team transitioning to
TimesSquare.

*      Equity II Fund Class I assumes initial investment on November 1, 1990.

**     Russell 2500/(TM)/ Index is composed of the bottom 500 stocks the Russell
       1000/(R)/ Index and all the stocks in the Russell 2000/(R)/ Index. The
       largest security in this Index has a market capitalization of about $4.0

       income dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested as of the
       ex-dividend dates.

++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.

++++   Equity II Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class E to
       provide historical perspective. From May 14, 1999 (commencement of sale)
       through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees. Total
       return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

EQUITY III FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Equity III Fund Class I and Class
E shares gained 1.59% and 1.40%, respectively, as compared to the Russell
1000/(R)/ Value Index, which gained 5.84%.

The Fund faced a difficult first quarter, as growth issues, particularly
technology stocks, vastly outperformed value stocks. However, the climate
abruptly changed in March 2000 and the Fund's value managers began to enjoy a
much more favorable, although highly volatile, climate.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
A high level of confidence and a more speculative investment philosophy marked
the beginning of the fiscal period. This provided significant challenges for
value investors, as valuation models performed poorly in a world driven almost
exclusively by price momentum. Further complicating matters for diversified
investors, sector concentration, notably in the Technology arena, provided an
exceptionally narrow window for investment opportunities.

However, by the end of the first quarter, value managers began to feel
vindicated. Beginning in March, investors experienced an abrupt turnaround from
growth to value investing and the long-favored Technology sector fell
dramatically, as market opportunities broadened. During the remainder of the
period, market breadth increased substantially, and the Fund's diversification
was again a benefit. Strong stock selection in the Utilities, Consumer
Discretionary, and Health Care sectors contributed to the Fund's late-period
rally. During this time, overweight positions in JP Morgan and St. Paul (both
issues within the Financials sector), Reliant Energy (Utilities), and Boeing
(Producer Durables), as well as an underweight position in Worldcom (Utilities),
added to the Fund's overall returns.

The Fund's performance was also affected by a second quarter modification to the
investment manager lineup. After careful consideration, the Fund terminated
Trinity Investment Management Corp. and retained Barclays Global Fund Advisors
in April 2000. This provided an additional level of diversification for the
Fund, and helped align the portfolio with the changing nature of the value
indexes. Barclays utilizes a process that incorporates earnings momentum into
its portfolio building approach. This helps give the Fund broader coverage of
the former growth-oriented stocks that have become part of the value segment of
the Russell 1000/(R)/ Index since the June reconstitution of the Index. That
annual evaluation revealed that some slower-growth companies had become value
stocks as extremely high-growth issues, such as technology stocks, crowded them
out of the growth segment of the Russell 1000/(R)/ Index.

     would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
     periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

EQUITY Q FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Equity Q Fund Class I, Class E
and Class Y shares gained 0.40%, 0.17% and 0.42%, respectively, as compared to
the Russell 1000/(R)/ Index, which gained 0.28%.

The Fund's performance was influenced by the market's first quarter shift from
an emphasis on growth stocks to an environment that favored value issues. This
factor, coupled with the market's extreme volatility, provided continual
challenges for both diversified investors and active managers. However, through
maintaining full exposure to all economic sectors, the Fund's managers were able
to mitigate some of the market's unpredictability.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Investor enthusiasm and speculation dominated the market during the first
quarter, with growth stocks, particularly the technology and Internet-related
shares, posting extraordinary returns. Further complicating matters for
diversified investors, sector concentration, notably in the Technology arena,
provided an exceptionally narrow window for investment opportunities.

The Fund's market-oriented managers faced this challenging environment by
capitalizing on their risk-controlled sector constraints. Early in the period,
the managers' benchmark-mandated sector exposures in Producer Durables (e.g.
Nokia), Technology (Cisco, Oracle, Texas Instruments), and Financial Services
(Morgan Stanley) boosted returns.

During the final months of the period, the managers generally maintained caution
by assuming a more conservative investment discipline with regard to valuation.
Given concerns over earnings estimates and the uncertainty surrounding the
presidential election, the Fund's managers retained more positions in order to
control risk levels versus their strategy during more stable market conditions.
Some solid late-period stock decisions included benchmark-relative underweight
positions in Lucent (Technology) and Sprint (Utilities), and overweights in Sun
Microsystems (Technology), Alza (Health Care), Citigroup (Financials), and
Lehman (Financials).

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*      Equity Q Fund Class I assumes initial investment on November 1, 1990.

**     Russell 1000/(R)/ Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the
       Russell 3000/(R)/ Index, the smallest of which is valued at about
       $1,124.8 million. The Russell 1000/(R)/ Index represents the universe of
       stocks from which most active money managers typically select. The
       Russell 1000/(R)/ Index return reflects adjustments for income dividends
       and capital gains distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.

++++   Equity Q Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class E to provide
       historical perspective. From May 14, 1999 (commencement of sale) through
       the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees. Total return
       would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

++++++ Equity Q Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class Y to provide
       historical perspective.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

OBJECTIVE: To provide favorable total return and additional diversification for
US investors.

INVESTS IN: Primarily the equity securities of non-US companies in developed
foreign markets.

STRATEGY: The Fund uses a multi-manager strategy intended to achieve higher
returns than its benchmark index with moderate risk by employing the investment
management services of ten managers with separate and distinct investment
approaches. The Fund's primary source of added value is intended to be stock
selection with only moderate country allocations relative to the index to
capture the diversification benefits of international investment in an asset
allocation context.

INTERNATIONAL FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the International Fund Class I, Class
E and Class Y shares lost 12.38%, 12.59%, and 12.33%, respectively. This
compared to the Salomon Smith Barney BMI World ex-US, which lost 11.57%, and the
MSCI EAFE Index which lost 13.71% during the same period.

The Fund's performance was mixed, and was a result of the international markets'
sector rotations. This was similar to the US markets' behavior during the year,
as both growth managers and value managers enjoyed periods during which their
style was favored.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Similar to the US markets, the performance of international Technology and
Telecommunications sectors exceeded all others during the first quarter. This
benefited the Fund's growth managers, but penalized those managers trying to
adhere to strict valuation disciplines.

During the first quarter, currency movements had a significant impact on
returns. The decline in the Euro muted European gains, while the gain in the Yen
boosted returns from Japan. However, while Japan's outlook remained strong
during the first half of the year, investors became impatient with the pace of
the country's restructuring effort later in the period and returns suffered as a
result.

Second quarter was a difficult time internationally, just as it was in the US.
During this period, growth managers faced a steep decline in technology and
telecommunications issues, while value managers gained some ground in this
environment. The Fund managers' stock selection, particularly in Germany where
holdings of Jenoptik (Technology), Systematics (Information Technology), Consors
Discount (Banking) contributed positive results to performance.

By mid-year, international markets lost ground amidst extreme sector rotation,
heightened volatility and the "tech wreck", which dramatically cut valuations
for technology issues.

The Fund's manager lineup was broadened during the second quarter with the
addition of Driehaus Capital Management, Inc. and Marvin & Palmer Associates,
Inc. Driehaus and Marvin & Palmer were both retained to expand the Fund's
aggressive growth exposure, and as a result, existing growth managers' asset
allocation was rebalanced.

       return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

++++++ International Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class Y to
       provide historical perspective.

+      Salomon Smith Barney BMI Index ex-US is a comprehensive float-weighted
       equity index consisting of every company with an investable market
       capitalization of over $100 million in 22 countries.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Investments in securities of non-US issuers and foreign currencies involve
investment risks different from those of US issuers. The Prospectus contains
further information and details regarding these risks.

FIXED INCOME I FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Fixed Income I Fund Class I,
Class E and Class Y shares gained 7.63%, 7.36%, and 7.66%, respectively. This
compared to a 7.83% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund's performance reflected its diversified strategy, with managers
following somewhat divergent paths regarding spreads. While all of the Fund's
managers took a careful approach because of the volatility of current market
conditions, a few saw the year's spread widening as an opportunity to add excess
yield to their portfolios. Other Fund managers interpreted the widening as a
cautionary sign. All of the managers focused on adding high quality issues to
their portfolio during the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

The Fund's managers placed emphasis on intermediate maturities during the final
three months of the period, which proved advantageous as the yield curve
steepened. The Fund's managers favored high quality corporate issues, mortgages
and asset-backed issues throughout the period.

Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*      Fixed Income I Fund Class I assumes initial investment on November 1,
       1990.

**     Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from
       Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed
       Securities Index, and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return
       comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of
       the original investment. Indexes are rebalanced monthly by market
       capitalization.

++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.

++++   Fixed Income I Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class E to
       provide historical perspective. From May 14, 1999 (commencement of sale)
       through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees. Total
       return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

++++++ Fixed Income I Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class Y to
       provide historical perspective.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)



OBJECTIVE: To provide maximum total return, primarily through capital
appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily
expected from broad fixed-income market portfolios.

INVESTS IN: Fixed-income securities.

STRATEGY: The Fund uses a multi-style, multi-manager strategy intended to
achieve higher returns by assuming the additional risk of investment in
non-investment grade US fixed income securities, and foreign bonds including
emerging markets debt in addition to US investment grade fixed income
instruments. The Fund employed the investment management services of four
managers, each employing a distinct approach to the Broad Market-Sector Rotation
style.

FIXED INCOME III FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Fixed Income III Fund Class I,
Class E and Class Y shares gained 6.75%, 6.55%, and 6.79%, respectively. This
compared to a 7.83% return for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund's wide variety of non-Treasury issues across many fixed-income sectors
left it exposed to the general underperformance of corporate bonds, particularly
high-yield issues. However, emerging markets issues were strong, particularly
during much of the first and second quarters, and performance from mortgages
also helped offset the lackluster performance of corporate issues.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*      Fixed Income III Fund Class I assumes initial investment on January 29,
       1993. Lehman Brothers Index comparison for the initial investment began
       February 1, 1993.

**     Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from
       Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed
       Securities Index, and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return
       comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of
       the original investment. Indexes are rebalanced monthly by market
       capitalization.

++     Prior to April 1, 1995, Fund performance results are reported gross of
       investment management fees. For the period following April 1, 1995, Fund
       performance results are reported net of investment management fees but
       gross of any investment services fees. Information concerning these fees
       can be obtained from the Fund's Advisor upon request.

++++   Fixed Income III Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class E to
       provide historical perspective. From May 14, 1999 (commencement of sale)
       through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees. Total
       return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
       reporting periods.

++++++ Fixed Income III Fund Class I performance has been linked with Class Y to
       provide historical perspective.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

EMERGING MARKETS FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


OBJECTIVE: To provide maximum total return, primarily through capital
appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is ordinarily
expected from developed market international portfolios, by investing
principally in equity securities.

INVESTS IN: Primarily emerging market equity securities.

STRATEGY: The Fund uses a multi-manager strategy intended to achieve higher
returns with moderate risk when compared to either single country or region
emerging markets investments. The Fund employed the investment management
services of five managers with four separate approaches to global emerging
markets investment.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Emerging Markets Fund Class S,
Class E, and Class C shares lost 25.79%, 25.90%, and 26.51%, respectively, as
compared to a 27.28% loss for the IFC Investable Composite Index.

Global weakness in the Technology sector plagued both the markets and the Fund
for most of the ten months, resulting in lower absolute returns. However,
benchmark-relative performance was favorable for the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Like their counterparts in developed countries, emerging markets technology and
telecommunications issues made a strong showing during the first part of the
year, but were also responsible for a sizable portion of the downturn that
followed. Weakness in the Technology sector began to appear as early as March,
and the difficulties continued through the remainder of the year. By the final
three months of the period, overall market weaknesses were attributed to fears
of a global economic slowdown, high oil prices and a downturn in both sentiment
and prospects for technology companies. Investors also registered their
impatience with the progress of economic reforms and political instability in
some countries, including Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, and Taiwan. This resulted in
a bias towards 'safe' markets that didn't experience these inherent problems.

During a difficult environment for emerging markets, the Fund generally paced,
and sometimes outperformed, its benchmark. This economic climate also helped
illustrate the benefits of diversification. As the investing climate changed
during the year, so did manager successes. The Fund's growth managers held their
edge during the first part of the year, but their performance declined with the
overall downturn in the technology and telecommunications sectors. Late-period
strong performance from the Fund's managers employing valuation as part of their
investment selection process, notably Sanford Bernstein, helped offset the
technology bets made previously by the more aggressive market-oriented managers.

++++      Extended Barings Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-
          weighted index of companies' performance within 20 countries in
          Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.

(S)       Annualized.

(S)(S)    Emerging Markets Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class E
          to provide historical perspective. For the period September 22, 1998
          (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class E paid
          shareholder servicing and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return
          would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
          reporting periods.

(S)(S)(S) Emerging Markets Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
          with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
          (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
          shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return
          would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior
          reporting periods.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Investments in emerging market countries involve exposure to economic structures
that are generally less diverse and mature, and to political systems which can
be expected to have less stability than those of more developed countries.
Securities may be less liquid and more volatile than US or longer established
international markets. Please see the Prospectus for further details.

REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Real Estate Securities Fund's
Class S, Class E and Class C shares gained 18.53%, 18.24%, and 17.54%,
respectively. This compared favorably to the 16.55% return for the NAREIT Equity
REIT Index. The stock selection strategies employed by the Fund's managers
proved highly effective in capturing opportunities over the period.

The Fund's performance for the ten month period reinforced the reasons for
including real estate in a diversified portfolio. As the equities market faced
increasing challenges, particularly from the Technology sector, real estate
showed improving strength as investors looked for an asset class to hedge
against the volatility in the stock market.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the period, fundamentals improved and REIT prices generally rose,
however, sector leadership roles changed from quarter to quarter. The Fund and
the Index enjoyed a particularly strong first quarter, with Lodging/Resorts
posting the strongest sector gains. Lagging the group during that period was
Health Care, Manufactured Housing, and free-standing Retail. However, during the
second quarter the Office and Multi-Family sectors took the lead, while Health
Care, along with the Office and Residential sectors turned in strong results in
the final months of the period.

Notably, cash flows into REITS have reversed course this year. Although still
tepid, approximately $400 million in new capital flowed into REITS during 2000,
after approximately $900 million exited REITS during 1999, a particularly poor
performing year for real estate investors.

The Real Estate Securities Fund's manager lineup was expanded in March with the
addition of Security Capital Global Capital Management Group. This manager
focuses on companies with the ability to generate strong net cash flows, with
effective underlying management strategies, financial flexibility, and sources
of growth. The addition of Security Capital resulted in a change in the
allocation of the Fund's assets. Security Capital's target allocation is 25%
while Cohen and Steers Capital Management's new target allocation is 45%, down
from 70%. AEW Capital Management's 30% allocation remained unchanged.

The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*    Real Estate Securities Fund Class S assumes initial investment on November
     1, 1990.

**   NAREIT Equity REIT Index is an index composed of all the data based on the
     last closing price of the month for all tax-qualified REITs listed on the
     New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, and the NASDAQ National
     Market System. The data is market value-weighted. The total-return
     calculation is based upon whether it is 1-month, 3-months or 12-months.
     Only those REITs listed for the entire period are used in the total return
     calculation.

++   Real Estate Securities Fund Class S performance has been linked with Class
     E to provide historical perspective. For the period, November 4, 1996
     (commencement of sale) through May 15, 1998, Class E paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. From May 16, 1998 through the
     current period, Class E paid only shareholder service fees. Total return
     would have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
     periods.

++++ Real Estate Securities Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked
     with Class C to provide historical perspective. From January 27, 1999
     (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid shareholder
     service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would have been
     lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting periods.

(S)  Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

SHORT-TERM BOND FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


PERFORMANCE REVIEW
For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the Short-Term Bond Fund Class S,
Class E, and Class C shares gained 5.64%, 5.36%, and 4.67%, respectively. This
compared to a 5.72% return for the Merrill Lynch 1-2.99 Years Treasury Index.

The Fund's performance reflected the advantage that US Treasuries held over
corporate securities for most of the fiscal period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, bond markets were focused on the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed), as they waited for a definitive response regarding interest rates.
After the Fed imposed a 50 basis point interest rate hike on May 16, however,
bond investors generally reached a consensus that the Fed would hold rates
steady, and bonds enjoyed a rally. Subsequently, in June economic data provided
bond investors with the first major indications that the US economy could be
slowing, which continued to fuel the rally.

The big story was the inversion of the US Treasury yield curve which occurred
during first quarter 2000. While the 3-month and 2-year rates rose 57 and 25
basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year rates declined 42 and 64
basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven by the US Treasury's debt
buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term Treasury bonds.

Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period, with high-yield
issues being the worst performers during the first quarter, and the
investment-grade corporate sector closely following their pattern. While
corporate issues lagged for most of the year, they did stage a late-period rally
that helped drive further debate regarding the direction of the equities markets
and future growth outlooks.

The Fund's fiscal period performance results generally benefited from the
portfolio's yield advantage. However, Fund returns did experience some setbacks
due to its exposure in the poor performing corporate sector.

       provide historical perspective. From February 18, 1999 (commencement of
       sale) through the current period, Class E paid shareholder service fees.
       Total return would have been lower had these fees been in effect during
       prior reporting periods.

++++++ Short-Term Bond Fund Class S and Class E performance has been linked with
       Class C to provide historical perspective. From March 3, 1999
       (commencement of sale) through the current period, Class C paid
       shareholder service and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. Total return would
       have been lower had these fees been in effect during prior reporting
       periods.

(S)    Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2000

1. ORGANIZATION
   Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
   mutual fund with 29 different investment portfolios referred to as "Funds."
   These financial statements report on ten 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.

   The Investment Company's Board of Trustees approved a change in the Funds'
   fiscal year end from December 31 to October 31. As a result, this financial
   report reflects the ten-month period commencing on January 1, 2000 through
   October 31, 2000.

   On February 26, 1999, the Fixed Income II Fund acquired all the net assets of
   the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization
   approved by the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund shareholders. The
   acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 8,934,738 shares of
   the Fixed Income II Fund (valued at $163,684,403) for the 8,932,673 shares of
   the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund on February 26, 1999. The Volatility
   Constrained Bond Fund's net assets of $163,684,403, including $495,215 of
   unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fixed Income II Fund
   which changed its name to Short Term Bond Fund. The aggregate net assets of
   the Fixed Income II Fund and the Volatility Constrained Bond Fund immediately
   before the acquisition were $320,538,146 and $163,684,403, respectively.

   In addition, the Short Term Bond Fund made a reclassification among certain
   of its capital accounts to reflect the acquisition of the Volatility
   Constrained Bond Fund, without impacting its net asset value. The following
   reclassification has been made for the year ended December 31, 1999:

    </TABLE>

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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

October 31, 2000

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 and capital gains. Therefore, no federal
income or excise tax provision was required for the Funds.

At October 31, 2000, the following 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:

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 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, certain
securities sold at a loss and by recording gains and losses from securities
transactions on the basis of specific identified cost incurred by each money
manager for financial reporting purposes and on the basis of specific
identified cost incurred by each Fund for tax purposes.

The following reclassifications have been made to reflect activity for the ten
months ended October 31, 2000:

</TABLE>

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 "Advisor"). Most expenses can be directly
attributed to the individual Funds. Expenses which cannot be directly
attributed to a specific Fund or Class are allocated among all Funds and/or
Classes based on their relative net assets.

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) 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 year-end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

The Funds do not 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.

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

October 31, 2000

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, Emerging Markets, Fixed Income I 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 October 31, 2000, 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 (not to exceed 120
days)(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.

INVESTMENT IN EMERGING MARKETS: Investing in emerging markets may involve
special risks and considerations for the Emerging Markets Fund 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.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

October 31, 2000

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 market 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.

FUTURES CONTRACTS: 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 market 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.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
SECURITIES: During the ten months ended October 31, 2000 and the year ended
December 31, 1999, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding US
Government and Agency obligations, short-term investments, options, futures and
repurchase agreements) were as follows:

   Frank Russell Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual
   Life Insurance Company. Frank Russell Company researches and recommends to
   FRIMCo, and to the Investment Company, one or more investment management
   organizations to manage the portfolio of each Fund.

   Effective September 29, 2000 the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive up
   to the full amount of its 0.50% combined advisory and administrative fees for
   the Short Term Bond Fund, and to reimburse the Fund to the extent that fund
   level expenses exceed 0.52% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the
   month of October and thereafter on an annual basis. The total amount of the
   waiver for the month ending October 31, 2000 was $51,875.

   In accordance with the special servicing agreement entered into in February
   1999 by the Advisor, the Fund of Funds (a group of five Fund of Funds and the
   Tax-Managed Global Equity Fund which invest in a combination of Class S
   shares of the Investment Company's portfolios) and the Funds listed below,
   the "Underlying Funds" in which the Fund of Funds invest, expenses from the
   operation of the Fund of Funds are borne by the Underlying Funds based on
   each Underlying Fund's proportionate share of assets owned by the Fund of
   Funds. No Underlying Funds will be charged expenses that exceed the estimated
   savings to each respective Underlying Fund. These estimated savings result
   from the elimination of separate shareholder accounts which either currently
   are or have potential to be invested in the Underlying Funds. In the event
   that the financial benefits to the Underlying Funds do not exceed aggregate
   expenses of any Fund of Fund, the Advisor will reimburse the respective
   Underlying Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Frank Russell Investment Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of net assets, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the series of Frank Russell
Investment Company (in this report comprised of Equity I, Equity II, Equity III,
Equity Q, International, Fixed Income I, Fixed Income III, Emerging Markets,
Real Estate Securities, and Short Term Bond (the "Funds")) at October 31, 2000,
the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 2000 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TO OUR CLIENTS



We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 2000 Annual
Report. This report covers information on three of the Funds and represents our
nineteenth 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 2000, 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 1999 we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. Class Y shares of
the Institutional Funds were opened for investment, and the LifePoints/(R)/
Funds added Class S shares during 2000. Additionally, the Tax-Managed Global
Equity Fund was opened for investment in January 2000, providing a diversified
asset-allocated product to compliment the existing tax-managed Russell funds.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to 2001 and continuing to earn your support.

Sincerely,



/s/ Lynn L. Anderson

Lynn L. Anderson.
Chairman of the Board
Frank Russell Investment Company

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
MONEY MARKET FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2000

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 29 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds." These financial statements report on three 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.

     The Investment Company's Board of Trustees approved a change in the Fund's
     fiscal year end from December 31 to October 31. As a result, this financial
     report reflects the ten month period commencing on January 1, 2000 through
     October 31, 2000.

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: The Money Market, US Government Money Market and the
     Tax Free Money Market Funds' portfolio investments are valued in accordance
     with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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. 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.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: 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 and capital gains. Therefore, no
     federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.

     At October 31, 2000, 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:

</TABLE>

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Money Market, US
     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 and excise 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 for a reporting period may differ
     significantly from distributions during such period. The differences
     between tax regulations and GAAP primarily relate to investments in 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 will pay their own expenses other than those expressly
     assumed by Frank Russell Investment Management Company ("FRIMCo" or
     "Advisor"). 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.

     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%.

3.   RELATED PARTIES

     ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR: FRIMCo advises and administers all of the Funds
     which comprise the Investment Company. FRIMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary
     of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. Frank Russell Company
     researches and recommends to FRIMCo, and to the Investment Company, one or
     more investment management organizations to manage the portfolio of each
     Fund.

     The Investment Company Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves
     (i.e., monies awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the
     Funds' objectives) in the Money Market Fund. As of October 31, 2000,
     approximately $737,161,000 represents the investments of other affiliated
     Funds not presented herein.

     The advisory and administrative fees, which are based upon the average
     daily net assets of each Fund and the rates specified in the table below,
     are payable monthly and total $3,456,427 and $864,107, respectively, for
     the ten months ended October 31, 2000 and $4,794,218 and $1,198,555,
     respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999. FRIMCo reduces its
     advisory fees for each Fund by advisory fees incurred on assets invested in
     the Money Market Fund or the Tax Free Money Market Fund thereby eliminating
     any duplication of fees.

     The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of its 0.25% combined
     advisory and administrative fees for the Money Market Fund. The amount of
     such waiver for the ten months ended October 31, 2000 and the year ended
     December 31, 1999 was $2,199,252 and $3,065,144, respectively.

     The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its combined
     advisory and administrative fees for the US Government Money Market Fund,
     up to the full amount of those fees, 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 ten months
     ended October 31, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999 was $238,044
     and $379,754, respectively.

     The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its 0.25% combined

     year ended December 31, 1999 was $166,828 and $196,504, respectively.

     CUSTODIAN: The Funds have entered into arrangements with their Custodian
     whereby custody credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances
     were used to reduce a portion of the Fund's expenses. During the ten months
     ended October 31, 2000, the Fund's custodian fees were reduced by the
     following amounts under these arrangements:

     Money Market                       $   33,793
     US Government Money Market             11,356
     Tax Free Money Market                  13,085


     ANALYTIC SERVICES: Fees for analytic services provided to the Funds are
     paid or accrued to Russell/Mellon Analytical Services, an affiliate of the
     Investment Company. Russell/Mellon Analytical Services provides TruVP
     System to the Funds, pursuant to a written Service Agreement. The TruVP
     System provides analytics used by the investment department. There were no
     fees attributed to the Funds contained herein for the ten months ended
     October 31, 2000 or year ended December 31, 1999.

     assets under the agreement. The agreement will expire December 30, 2000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Frank Russell Investment Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of net assets, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the series of Frank Russell
Investment Company (in this report comprised of Money Market, US Government
Money Market, and Tax Free Money Market (the "Funds")) at October 31, 2000, the
results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at October 31, 2000 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TO OUR CLIENTS

We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 2000 Annual
Report. This report covers information on five of the Funds and represents our
nineteenth 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 2000, 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 1999 we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. Class Y shares of
the Institutional Funds were opened for investment, and the LifePoints/(R)/
Funds added Class S shares during 2000. Additionally, the Tax-Managed Global
Equity Fund was opened for investment in January 2000, providing a diversified
asset-allocated product to compliment the existing tax-managed Russell funds.

Thank you for your continued confidence and investment with Frank Russell
Investment Company. We look forward to 2001 and continuing to earn your support.

Sincerely,


/S/ Lynn L. Anderson

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

For the ten months ended October 31, 2000, the LifePoints/(R)/ Funds met the
challenges presented by a volatile period that began with a narrow focus on the
Technology sector and ended with a value bias and a decidedly unfavorable
climate for technology.

The LifePoints/(R)/ Funds returns for the ten months ended October 31, 2000 are
as follows:

MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

Investor enthusiasm and speculation dominated the US market during the first
quarter of the year, resulting in spectacular returns from growth stocks,
particularly the technology and Internet-related shares. However, on May 16, a
50 basis point interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) increased
investor concerns and dealt a particularly harsh blow to technology and
telecommunications stocks. While the interest rate hike was the Fed's final
increase during the period, technology and telecommunications stocks remained
highly volatile and generally performed poorly through the end October.

Mirroring the US markets, both international and emerging markets' Technology,
Media and Telecommunications sectors exceeded all others throughout most of the
first quarter. However, weakness in these sectors began to appear as early as
March and the difficulties continued through the remainder of the period. During
the last three months of the period, overall market weaknesses were attributed
to fears of a global economic slowdown, high oil prices and a downturn in both
sentiment and prospects for technology companies. Investors also registered
their impatience with the progress of economic reforms and political instability
in some countries, including Japan, Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, and Taiwan. This
resulted in a bias towards 'safe' markets that didn't experience these inherent
problems.

As one of the best performing assets classes during the ten month period, the
performance generated by real estate helped stabilize some of the equity market
volatility. The favorable climate for REITS can be attributed to solid earnings
and the relatively defensive nature of the asset, which was perceived as
offering some protection from the technology correction.

The big story for the bond market was the inversion of the US Treasury yield
curve that occurred during the first quarter of the year. While the 3-month and
2-year rates rose 57 and 25 basis points, respectively, the 10-year and 30-year
rates declined 42 and 64 basis points, respectively. This inversion was driven
by the US Treasury's debt buyback program and a declining supply of longer-term
Treasury bonds. Corporate debt generally underperformed during the period,
however, it did stage a late-period rally that helped fuel further debate about
the direction of the equities markets and future growth outlooks.

Generally, asset diversification offered LifePoints/(R)/ investors some
protection from the unpredictability that dominated the financial markets both
domestically and globally. Within the first quarter of the year, US equities
were the top performers, while fixed income markets fared better during the
remaining months of the period. Emerging markets and international issues were
low performers during the ten month period, however, their results were, in
part, mitigated by the performance of the other asset classes. For the ten month
ended October 31, 2000, LifePoints'/(R)/ underlying fund (Class S shares)
returns are as follows: Diversified Equity Fund lost 4.28%, Special Growth Fund
had a total return of 9.76%, Quantitative Equity Fund posted a return of 0.47%,
International Securities Fund posted a loss of 12.40%, Emerging Markets Fund
lost 25.79%, Real Estate Securities Fund gained 18.53%, Multistrategy Bond Fund
had a return of 6.56%, Short Term Bond Fund gained 5.64%, and Diversified Bond
Fund returned 7.40%.

EQUITY AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)

OBJECTIVE: Equity Aggressive Strategy Fund seeks to achieve high, long-term
capital appreciation, while recognizing the possibility of high fluctuations in
year to year market values.

STRATEGY: Each LifePoints/(R)/ Fund allocates its assets by investing in a
diversified group of Underlying Funds. By investing in the multi-managed
Underlying Funds, the LifePoints/(R)/ Funds seek to maintain different
allocations between classes of domestic equity, international equity, and fixed
income, depending on the LifePoints/(R)/ Fund's investment objective and risk
profile.

AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)

OBJECTIVE: Aggressive Strategy Fund seeks to achieve high, long-term capital
appreciation, with low current income while recognizing the possibility of
substantial fluctuations in year to year market values.

STRATEGY: Each LifePoints/(R)/ Fund allocates its assets by investing in a
diversified group of Underlying Funds. By investing in the multi-managed
Underlying Funds, the LifePoints/(R)/ Funds seek to maintain different
allocations between classes of domestic equity, international equity, and fixed
income, depending on the LifePoints/(R)/ Fund's investment objective and risk
profile.

OBJECTIVE: Conservative Strategy Fund seeks to achieve a moderate rate of return
through low capital appreciation and reinvestment of a high level of current
income.

STRATEGY: Each LifePoints/(R)/ Fund allocates its assets by investing in a
diversified group of Underlying Funds. By investing in the multi-managed
Underlying Funds, the LifePoints/(R)/ Funds seek to maintain different
allocations between classes of domestic equity, international equity, and fixed
income, depending on the LifePoints/(R)/ Fund's investment objective and risk
profile.

3000/(R)/ Index, the smallest of which is valued at about $1.6 billion. The
Russell 1000/(R)/ Index represents the universe of stocks from which most active
money managers typically select. The Russell 1000/(R)/ Index return reflects
adjustments for income dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested as
of the ex-dividend dates.

The Salomon Smith Barney Broad Market Index (BMI) ex-US is a comprehensive
float-weighted equity index consisting of every company with an investable
market capitalization of over $100 million in 22 countries.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, and
the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return comprises price
appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original investment.
Indexes are rebalanced monthly by market capitalization.

The Merrill Lynch 1-2.99 Years Treasury Index is an index composed of
approximately 160 issues in the form of publicly placed, coupon-bearing US
Treasury debt. Issues must carry a term to maturity of at least one year, and
par amounts outstanding must be no less than $10 million at the start and at the
close of the performance measurement periods.

narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2000

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 29 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds." These financial statements report on five LifePoints/(R)/ 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.

     The Investment Company's Board of Trustees approved a change in the Funds'
     fiscal year-end from December 31 to October 31. As a result, this financial
     report reflects the ten-month period commencing on January 1, 2000 through
     October 31, 2000.

     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 "Advisor") 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

     over a market cycle of four to six years), while maintaining volatility and
     diversification similar to the Index.

     REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND: To generate a high level of total return
     through above average current income while maintaining the potential for
     capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of
     companies in the real estate industry.

     additional diversification for US investors by investing primarily in

     ordinarily expected from developed market international portfolios by
     investing primarily in equity securities.

     DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND: To provide effective diversification against
     equities and a stable level of cash flow by investing in fixed-income
     securities.

     MULTISTRATEGY BOND FUND: To provide maximum total return, primarily through
     capital appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is
     ordinarily expected from broad fixed-income market portfolios, by investing
     in fixed-income securities.

     SHORT TERM BOND FUND: The preservation of capital and the generation of
     current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing
     primarily in fixed-income securities with low-volatility characteristics.

     Financial statements of the Underlying Funds can be obtained by calling the
     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 4:00 p.m. or the close
     of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier. Short-term
     investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized
     cost.

     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.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: Distributions of income and capital gains from the
     Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     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 and capital gains. Therefore, no
     federal income tax provision was required for the Funds.

     At October 31, 2000, the Conservative Strategy Fund had a net tax basis
     capital loss carryforward in the amount of $34,693, expiring on October 31,
     2008, which may be applied against any net realized taxable gains in each
     succeeding year or until their respective expiration dates, whichever
     occurs first.

     The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of gross unrealized
     appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income
     tax purposes as of October 31, 2000 were as follows:

</TABLE>

     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 and excise tax on any remaining
     undistributed capital gains and net investment income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

October 31, 2000

     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.

     The following reclassifications have been made to reflect activity for the
     ten months ended October 31, 2000:

4.   RELATED PARTIES

     ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR: FRIMCo advises and administers all of the Funds
     which comprise the Investment Company. FRIMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary
     of Frank Russell Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Northwestern
     Mutual Life Insurance Company.

     The Funds are permitted to invest their cash reserves (i.e., monies
     awaiting investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Funds'
     objectives) in the Frank Russell Investment Company Money Market Fund. As
     of October 31, 2000, approximately $6,565,000 of the Money Market Fund's
     net assets represents investments by these Funds and $730,596,000
     represents the investments of other affiliated Funds not presented herein.

     The Funds are charged an advisory fee equal to 0.20% of average daily net
     assets and an administrative fee equal to 0.05% of average daily net
     assets. For the ten months ended October 31, 2000 and year ended December
     31, 1999, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive both the advisory fee
     and the administrative fee.

     No LifePoints Fund will bear any operating expenses. Operating expenses
     include those expenses arising from accounting, custody, auditing, legal
     and transfer agent services. They do not include expenses attributable to
     advisory and administrative fees (which are currently waived by FRIMCo),
     any Rule 12b-1 distribution fee, any shareholder service fees, or any
     nonrecurring extraordinary expenses. A LifePoints Fund's operating expenses
     are borne either by the Underlying Funds in which the LifePoints Fund
     invests or by FRIMCo. This arrangement is governed by Special Servicing
     Agreements among each of the affected Funds and FRIMCo. Those agreements
     are entered into on a yearly basis and must be re-approved annually by the
     Investment Company's Board of Trustees.


     TRANSFER AGENT: The Funds have a contract with FRIMCo to provide transfer
     agent services to the Investment Company. The Underlying Funds have borne
     this expense.

6.   LINE OF CREDIT

     The Investment Company and several affiliated Funds (the "Participants")
     share in a $75 million revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency

     charged an annual commitment fee of .10% on the average daily unused amount

     Participants. Interest, at the Federal Fund Rate plus .50% annually
     (Federal Fund Rate plus 1.75% prior to and including February 27, 2000), is
     calculated based on the market rates at the time of the borrowing. The
     Funds may borrow up to a maximum of 10 percent of the value of their net
     assets under the agreement. The agreement will expire December 30, 2000.
     The Investment Company did not have any drawdowns during the ten months
     ended October 31, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Frank Russell Investment Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of net assets, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the series of Frank Russell
Investment Company (in this report comprised of Equity Aggressive Strategy,
Aggressive Strategy, Balanced Strategy, Moderate Strategy, and Conservative
Strategy (the "Funds")) at October 31, 2000, the results of each of their
operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October
31, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

TO OUR CLIENTS



We are pleased to present the Frank Russell Investment Company 2000 Annual
Report. This report covers information on the Tax-Managed Global Equity Fund and
represents our nineteenth 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 2000, 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 1999 we have implemented changes in our Funds' structure
which we believe will benefit current and potential investors. Class Y shares of
the Institutional Funds were opened for investment, and the LifePoints(R) Funds

TAX-MANAGED GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

October 31, 2000 (Unaudited)



PERFORMANCE REVIEW
From its January 31, 2000 inception through October 31, 2000, the Tax-Managed
Global Equity Fund Class S and Class C shares lost 2.12% and 2.55%,
respectively. This compared to a gain of 4.34% for the Russell 3000/(R)/ Index
and a loss of 5.79% return for the Salomon Smith Barney BMI World ex-US Index.
The S&P/(R)/ 500 Index gained 3.33% for the same period.

The Fund's fiscal period performance was impacted by volatile world markets that
offered significant challenges, including the tendency toward changing favor
between the growth and value styles. While the underlying Funds' managers
attempted to capitalize where possible on these style switches, there was a
degree of limitation related to this approach. Given the tax efficient nature of
their investment strategies, certain managers generally held their positions
through the volatility in order to better manage tax impacts.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
In the US, as well as in international and emerging markets, performance of the
Technology, Media and Telecommunications sectors exceeded all others during the
first five months of the fiscal year. However, these sectors faced steep
corrections during the second half of the year, when value investing was
generally favored.

In the US market, small-cap and mid-cap issues emerged as stronger alternatives
as compared to their large-cap counterparts during the final months of the
fiscal year. This point was illustrated during the calendar quarter ending in
September, as the performance differential between style and capitalization was
extreme, with the largest capitalization stocks lagging their smaller
counterparts significantly. Within the Russell 1000/(R)/ Growth Index, the
largest capitalization stocks lost 10.40% for the quarter, while the
medium/large-cap tier gained 6.20%.

Within the Russell 1000/(R)/ Value Index, the largest capitalization tier
benefited from the switch to value stocks, returning 6.10%, but still trailed
the value index's medium/large-cap tier, which returned 11.20%.

From an international perspective, currency movements also had a significant
impact on returns. During the first quarter of the fiscal year, a 14% decline in
the Euro muted European gains, while the 11% gain in the Yen boosted returns
from Japan. While Japan's outlook was strong during the first part of the fiscal
period, investors became impatient with the pace of that country's restructuring
effort later in the year and returns suffered as a result.

International markets generally lost ground amidst extreme sector rotation,
heightened volatility and the "tech wreck", which dramatically cut valuations
for technology issues. While Europe held up better than Japan, investors focused
on industries worldwide rather than countries, which caused further sell-off
among Technology, Media and Telecommunications stocks.

Like their counterparts in developed countries, emerging markets' issues in the
Technology, Media and Telecommunications sectors made a strong showing during
the first half of the fiscal year, but were responsible for a sizable portion of
the downturn that followed. Investors also registered their impatience with the
progress of economic reforms and political instability in some countries,
including Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, and Taiwan.

The 2000 fiscal year returns for the Tax-Managed Global Equity underlying funds
(Class S shares) are as follows: Tax-Managed Large Cap Fund gained 5.00%,
International Securities Fund gained 1.38%, Tax-Managed Small Cap Fund returned
11.68%, Diversified Equity Fund gained 3.51%, and Emerging Markets Fund lost
6.38%.


The Fund's fiscal year-end was changed from December 31 to October 31.
Information disclosed in the Performance Review and Portfolio Highlights
narratives reflects Fund performance results for the 10 month period ended
October 31, 2000. The performance results presented on the line graph and the
accompanying tables reflect Fund results for 12 month periods ended October 31.

*        The Fund commenced operations on January 31, 2000. Index comparisons
         began on January 31, 2000.

++       The Tax-Managed Global Equity Composite Benchmark is comprised of the
         following indices: 50% S&P 500/(R)/ Index, 20% Salomon Smith Barney BMI
         Ex-US, 15% Russell Small Cap Completeness/(TM)/ Index, 10% Russell
         1000/(R)/ Index, and 5% IFC Investable Composite Index.

++++     The Standard & Poor's/(R)/ 500 Composite Stock Price Index is composed
         of 500 common stocks which are chosen by Standard & Poor's Corporation
         to best capture the price performance of a large cross-section of the
         US publicly traded stock market. The Index is structured to approximate
         the general distribution of industries in the US economy.

++++++   Salomon Smith Barney BMI Index Ex-US is a comprehensive float-weighted
         equity index consisting of every company with an investable market
         capitalization of over $100 million in 22 countries. This Index has
         broader representation than the MSCI EAFE Index.

         The Russell Small Cap Completeness(TM) Index measures the performance
         of the companies in the Russell 3000/(R)/ Index excluding the companies
         in the standard & Poor's/(R)/ 500 Index.

         Russell 1000/(R)/ Index includes the 1,000 largest companies in the
         Russell 3000/(R)/ Index, the smallest of which is valued at about $1.6
         billion. The Russell 1000/(R)/ Index represents the universe of stocks
         from which most active money managers typically select. The Russell
         1000/(R)/ Index return reflects adjustments for income dividends and
         capital gains distributions reinvested as of the ex-dividend dates.

         International Finance Corporation (IFC) Investable Composite Index is a
         market capitalization-weighted index of the performance of securities
         listed on the stock exchange(s) of the countries included in the index,
         calculated on a total-return basis. The investable index reflects the
         accessibility of markets and individual stocks to foreign investors.

(S)      Annualized.

Performance is historical and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

FRANK RUSSELL INVESTMENT COMPANY
TAX-MANAGED GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2000

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Frank Russell Investment Company (the "Investment Company") is a series
     mutual fund with 29 different investment portfolios, referred to as
     "Funds." These financial statements report on one Fund, which has a
     distinct investment objective and strategy. 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.

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

     OBJECTIVES OF THE UNDERLYING FUNDS:

     TAX-MANAGED LARGE CAP FUND: To provide capital growth on an after-tax basis
     by investing principally in equity securities.

     TAX-MANAGED SMALL CAP FUND: To provide capital growth on an after-tax basis
     by investing principally in equity securities of small capitalization
     companies.

     QUANTITATIVE EQUITY FUND: To provide a total return greater than the total
     return of the US stock market (as measured by the Russell 1000(R) Index
     over a market cycle of four to six years), while maintaining volatility and
     diversification similar to the Index.

     INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES FUND: To provide favorable total return and
     additional diversification for US investors by investing primarily in
     equity securities of non-US companies.

     EMERGING MARKETS FUND: To provide maximum total return, primarily through
     capital appreciation and by assuming a higher level of volatility than is
     ordinarily expected from developed market international portfolios by
     investing primarily in equity securities.

     Financial statements of the Underlying Funds can be obtained by calling the
     Office of Shareholder Inquiries at (800) RUSSEL4, (800) 787-7354.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Fund's 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 Fund 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 4:00 p.m., or the close
     of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier. Short-term
     investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized
     cost.

     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.

     INVESTMENT INCOME: Distributions of income and capital gains from the
     Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

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

     The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of gross unrealized
     appreciation and depreciation of investment securities for federal income
     tax purposes as of October 31, 2000 were as follows:

</TABLE>

     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
     Fund to avoid imposition of federal income and excise 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 Fund may periodically make
     reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting
     its net asset value.

     The following classifications have been made to reflect activity for the
     ten months ended October 31, 2000:

</TABLE>

     EXPENSES: Expenses, other than Class specific expenses, are allocated to
     each Class of shares based upon their relative net assets. Expenses
     included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of
     the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying
     Funds.

3.   INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     SECURITIES: During the nine months ended October 31, 2000, purchases and
     sales of the Underlying Funds (excluding Money Market Fund investments)
     were as follows:

4.   RELATED PARTIES

     ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATOR: FRIMCo advises and administers all of the Funds
     which comprise the Investment Company. FRIMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary
     of Frank Russell Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Northwestern
     Mutual Life Insurance Company.

     The Fund is permitted to invest its cash reserves (i.e., monies awaiting
     investment in portfolio securities suitable for the Fund's objectives) in
     the Frank Russell Investment Company Money Market Fund. As of October 31,
     2000, the Fund had no amount invested in the Money Market Fund and
     $737,161,000 represents the investments of other affiliated Funds not
     presented herein.

     The Fund is charged an advisory fee equal to 0.20% of average daily net
     assets. For the nine months ended October 31, 2000, the Advisor
     contractually agreed to waive the advisory fee. The amount of such waiver
     for the nine months ended October 31, 2000 was $29,830.

     The Fund will not bear any operating expenses. Operating expenses include
     those expenses arising from accounting, administrative custody, auditing,
     legal and transfer agent services. They do not include expenses
     attributable to advisory fees (which are currently waived by FRIMCo), any
     Rule 12b-1 distribution fee, any shareholder service fees, or any
     nonrecurring extraordinary expenses. The Fund's operating expenses are
     borne either by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests or by
     FRIMCo. This arrangement is governed by Special Servicing Agreements among
     each of the affected Funds and FRIMCo. Those agreements are entered into on
     a yearly basis and must be re-approved annually by the Investment Company's
     Board of Trustees.

     TRANSFER AGENT: The Fund has a contract with FRIMCo to provide transfer
     agent services to the Investment Company. The Underlying Funds have borne
     this expense.

     DISTRIBUTOR AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING: Pursuant to the Distribution
     Agreement with the Investment Company, Russell Fund Distributors, Inc.
     ("Distributor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FRIMCo, serves as distributor
     for all Investment Company portfolio shares, including Class C and Class S
     shares of the Fund.

     The Investment Company has a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the
     "Plan") under the 1940 Act. Under this Plan, the Investment Company is
     authorized to make payments to the Distributor or any Selling Agents, as
     defined in the Plan (the "12b-1 Fee") for sales support services provided,
     and related expenses incurred which are primarily intended to result in the
     sale of Class C shares subject to the Distribution Plan. The 12b-1
     distribution payments shall not exceed 0.75% of the average daily net
     assets of the Fund's Class C shares on an annual basis.

     In addition, the Investment Company has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan
     (the "Services Plan") under which the Fund 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 C shares of the Fund. The shareholder servicing
     payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund's
     Class C shares on an annual basis.

     Accrued shareholders servicing and distribution fees payable to affiliates
     as of October 31, 2000 were $5,644.

     BOARD OF TRUSTEES: The Investment Company pays each of its Trustees not
     affiliated with FRIMCo a retainer of $55,000 per year plus out-of-pocket
     expenses. Total Trustee expense for the ten months ended October 31, 2000
     and the year ended December 31, 1999 was paid by the Underlying Funds of
     FRIMCo under the aforementioned Special Servicing Agreements.

6.   LINE OF CREDIT

     The Investment Company and several affiliated Funds (the "Participants")
     share in a $75 million revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency
     purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might
     require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are
     charged an annual commitment fee of .10% on the average daily unused amount
     of the aggregate commitment, which is allocated among each of the
     Participants. Interest, at the Federal Fund Rate plus .50% annually
     (Federal Fund Rate plus 1.75% prior to and including February 27, 2000), is
     calculated based on the market rates at the time of the borrowing. The Fund
     may borrow up to a maximum of 10 percent of the value of its net assets
     under the agreement. The agreement will expire December 30, 2000. The Funds
     did not have any drawdowns during the ten months ended October 31, 2000.

7.   BENEFICIAL INTEREST

     As of October 31, 2000, the Fund has one or more shareholders with shares
     of beneficial interest of greater than 10% of the total outstanding shares
     of each respective Fund or Class:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of Frank Russell Investment Company:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of net assets, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Frank Russell Investment
Company Tax-Managed Global Equity Fund (the "Fund")) at October 31, 2000, the
results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights for the period January 31, 2000 (commencement of operations) through
October 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31,
2000 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
