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.

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.

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.
