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.

See the Principal Funds, Inc. prospectus for the full name of each Fund.

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.

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.

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.
