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.

Before directing retirement funds to a separate account, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the separate account as well as their individual risk tolerance, time horizon and goals. For additional information contact us at 1-800-547-7754 or by visiting principal.com.

Separate Accounts are available through a group annuity contract with Principal Life Insurance Co. Insurance products and plan administrative services provided through Principal Life Insurance Company, a member of the Principal Financial Group, Des Moines, Iowa 50392. See the group annuity contract for the full name of the Separate Account. Certain investment options and contract riders may not be available in all states or U.S. commonwealths. Principal Life Insurance Company reserves the right to defer payments or transfers from Principal Life Separate Accounts as permitted by the group annuity contracts providing access to the Separate Accounts or as required by applicable law. Such deferment will be based on factors that may include situations such as: unstable or disorderly financial markets; investment conditions which do not allow for orderly investment transactions; or investment, liquidity, and other risks inherent in real estate (such as those associated with general and local economic conditions). If you elect to allocate funds to a Separate Account, you may not be able to immediately withdraw them.

Returns shown for periods of less than one year are not annualized. All returns displayed here are after Total Investment Expense of the investment option.

Affiliates of Principal Life may receive fees as the Investment Provider and/or the Investment Sub-Advisor for certain investment options. These fees are reflected in this column. The term Investment Provider refers to the providers (i.e. manufacturers) of the investment options we make available to employer-sponsored retirement and savings plans. The Investment Provider may or may not be the same entity as the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisor. Please see prospectus for the Investment Provider for mutual fund investment options. Principal Life is the Investment Provider for all Separate Accounts and pays fees for sub-advisory services to the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisor. When affiliates of Principal Life are both Investment Provider and Recordkeeper, amounts in this column and the Revenue Sharing to Recordkeeper column are determined based on internal allocation assumptions.

These are amounts Principal Life as Recordkeeper or an affiliate expects to receive in connection with the services provided to your plan. In the case of mutual funds, these amounts, which include 12b-1 fees, are paid from the mutual funds, including mutual funds provided by an affiliate of Principal Life. Any 12b-1 fees are paid to Principal Securities, Inc. an affiliate of Principal Life. For investment options other than Separate Accounts, these amounts are paid pursuant to contracts between the investment options and Principal Life or its affiliates for services Principal Life or its affiliates provide to retirement plans on behalf of the investment options. In the case of Separate Accounts, these are amounts that are retained by Principal Life, the Investment Provider of the Separate Accounts, and are allocated to recordkeeping based on internal allocation assumptions. Depending on the rate level or share class selected and the agreements in place, a fee credit may be applied to have the effect of reducing the amount of Revenue Sharing Principal Life attributes to the providing of services to the plan. Amounts shown in this column are taken into consideration in setting the price for the investment and service package and do not offset our fees on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For plans that have not entered into a service agreement with Principal Life to provide recordkeeping services, these amounts are for additional administrative and/or reporting services. The Principal LifeTime investment options, Principal TrustSM Target Date Funds and Principal Strategic Asset Management (SAM) Portfolios invest in underlying investment options. As a result, Total Investment Expense and revenue figures include expenses incurred by the underlying investment options proportionate to their allocations. These underlying expenses and revenue fluctuate throughout the year and are typically updated on an annual basis. We expect the range of fluctuation in disclosed revenue will be no more than an increase or decrease of 0.03%. If the disclosed revenue changes by more than 0.03%, we will notify the plan fiduciary.

Investment and Insurance products are:
* Not insured by the FDIC or Any Federal Government Agency
* Not a Deposit or Other Obligation of, or Guaranteed by Credit Union or Bank
* Subject to Investment Risks, Including Possible Loss of the Principal Amount Invested

For a Separate Account investment option, Total Investment Expense gross equals the sum of these expenses: (a)the amount of money, expressed as a percentage, deducted for the costs of managing a separate account where applicable, fees for plan administrative services and agent compensation, plus (b) if the separate account invests in an underlying mutual fund, the total fund operating expenses of the underlying mutual fund, plus (c) if an underlying mutual funds invests in other mutual funds, the weighted-average management fee of those other mutual funds, as listed in the most recent prospectus. The actual Total Investment Expense may change if an underlying mutual fund's allocation of assets to other mutual funds changes.

Investment Options may charge a short-term trading or redemption fee to protect the interests of long-term Contractholders.

Fees and expenses are only one of several factors that participants and beneficiaries should consider when making investment decisions. The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of a participant's or beneficiary's retirement account. Participants and beneficiaries can visit the Employee Benefit Security Administration's website for an example demonstrating the long-term effect of fees and expenses.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change and companies referenced in this report may not currently be held. Information is current as of the creation of this piece. Keep in mind that portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

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%. It is referred to as a contingent sales charge because of such declining schedule. The CDSC is also commonly called a back-end load. Performance displayed reflects the application of these charges.

Several investment companies have decided to impose redemption fees and/or transfer restrictions on certain plan and/or participant transactions. One or more of the investment options in your employer's retirement plan may be impacted. For more information, log into your account and visit us at at principal.com.

These calculated returns reflect the historical performance of the oldest share class of the fund, adjusted to reflect a portion of the fees and expenses of this share class. For time periods prior to inception date of the fund, predecessor performance is reflected. Please see the fund's prospectus for more information on specific expenses, and the fund's most recent shareholder report for actual date of first sale. Expenses are deducted from income earned by the fund. As a result, dividends and investment results will differ for each share class.

Investment manager/sub-advisor means either the Investment Advisor or Sub-Advisor to the investment option or the underlying asset(s). Principal Life Insurance Company is the Investment Manager as defined by ERISA, with regard to the assets of some Separate Accounts. Refer to the factsheet for more information.

The risks associated with derivative investments include that the underlying security, interest rate, market index, or other financial asset will not move in the direction the Investment Adviser and/or Sub-Advisor anticipated, the possibility that there may be no liquid secondary market, the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than a fund's initial investment, the possibility that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations; and the inability to close out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.

Fixed-income and asset allocation investment options that invest in mortgage securities are subject to increased risk due to real estate exposure.

Fixed-income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Neither the principal of bond investment options nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

This Bloomberg Credit 1-3 Years Index measures the performance of the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable corporate and government related bond markets with the maturities of 1 to 3 years. It is composed of the US Corporate Index and a non-corporate component that includes foreign agencies, sovereigns, supra nationals and local authorities. For each index, Barclays maintains two universes of securities: the Returns (Backward) and Statistics (Forward) Universes. The composition of the Returns Universe is rebalanced at each month-end and represents the fixed set of bonds on which index returns are calculated for the next month. The Statistics Universe is a forward-looking projection that changes daily to reflect issues dropping out of and entering the index but is not used for return calculations. On the last business day of the month (the rebalancing date), the composition of the latest Statistics Universe becomes the Returns Universe for the following month.
