For a Mutual Fund investment option, Total Investment Expense gross equals the sum of (a) the total fund operating expenses plus (b) if the mutual fund 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 the mutual fund investment option's allocation of assets to other mutual funds changes.

Any operating expenses of a mutual fund or underlying mutual fund that are part of net Total Investment Expense are obtained from the mutual fund's most recent prospectus. The operating expenses shown as part of net Total Investment Expense include voluntary expense limits and fee credit.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

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.
|
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. Please review the Prospectus of the particular mutual fund, including the Statement of Additional Information, for a full understanding of the fees imposed by that mutual fund. 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.
|
Investment option limits transfer activity. Once the number of allowed transfers is met, participants are not allowed to transfer back into an investment option which they have transferred out of until the holding period elapses. All participant investment transfers and non-scheduled rebalancing activity are counted toward the number of transfers allowed. Contributions into the investment option are not impacted. Participants may still transfer out to different investment options or to money market or Guaranteed options.
|
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.
|
This Fund uses alternative strategies such as arbitrage, leverage, derivatives and shorting securities. Long/short investing does not guarantee lower risk associated with equity markets, capitalization, sector swings or other factors and may have higher turnover with additional tax consequences. Short selling risks include investment loss and added costs to cover short positions. International investing involves greater risks such as currency fluctuations, political/social instability and differing accounting standards. Use of alternative strategies may magnify risk. Securities such as bonds, equities, international and emerging market securities, and currencies are subject to risks associated with market and interest rate movements. The Fund is non-diversified and may be more susceptible to price volatility if the Fund does not meet its objective. Investors should not expect significant outperformance during market rallies. Additional risks are included in the Fund's prospectus.
