Total Returns



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.

The Year-to-Date Change represents an unannualized rate of return (change in value) since the start of the year. All returns shown here are after the Total Investment Expense of the investment option.

Investment results shown represent historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal values fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so the value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown.

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.

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Share price, principal value, and return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For more performance information, including the most recent month-end performance, visit principal.com.

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.

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

Principal® charges the investment provider an annual Principal® Platform Connectivity Program (Program) fee of $1,000 for those investment option(s) with this designation. This Program fee helps to pay for a number of expenses incurred in connection with maintaining and adding investments to its platform, including but not limited to, expenses for IT systems, IT employees and required legal and compliance services. The investment provider will pay the Program fee for these investment options.

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.

International and global investing involves greater risks such as currency fluctuations, political/social instability and differing accounting standards.

Equity investment options involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed-income investment options. Fixed-income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise.

The Investment Advisor will display "Multiple Sub-Advisors" for certain target-date, target-risk and specialty investment options where the assets are directed by the Investment Manager to multiple underlying investment options. These underlying investment options may use multiple sub-advisors who are responsible for the day-to-day management responsibilities.

Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Additionally there is no guarantee this investment option will provide adequate income at or through retirement.

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.

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