Investment Strategy

   What's this?
The investment seeks total return. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities issued by listed infrastructure companies that are subject to the sub-advisor's sustainable investing strategy. It invests primarily in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium, or large) and invests in both value and growth securities. The fund also invests in REITs but only those REITs that are engaged in the development, operation, or management of infrastructure assets. It is non-diversified.

Total Returns



In situations where the net and gross fund expense figures are different, the investment manager has contractually agreed to limit the investment option's expense. Differences may also be shown due to the investment manager choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. The gross fund expense figure does not reflect any waivers or caps on the mutual fund. Performance shown reflects the application of net expenses of the fund.

In situations where the net and gross total investment expense figures are different, the mutual fund or the underlying fund in which a Separate Account invests has waived/capped a portion of its management fees through the date displayed in the waiver expiration date or contractual cap expiration date column. Differences may also be shown due to the fund family choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. Returns displayed are based on net total investment expense.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) - A deferred sales charge, which is paid at the time of redemption and generally decreases with the amount of time that fund shares are held before sale, ultimately declining to 0%.

Various mutual funds may have different types of fees disclosed in their prospectus, including sales loads (sales charge), exchange fees, account fees and purchase fees. The mutual funds made available by Principal Life Insurance Company for retirement plans through the Mutual Fund Network typically have many of these fees waived.

Be sure to pay attention to the specific share class made available under the retirement plan because different share classes may have vastly different fee structures and schedules.
