StarRating

Morningstar's Star Ratings reflect risk adjusted performance and are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three, five, and ten-year (if applicable) time periods.


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.

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 fund. Performance when shown reflects the application of net expenses of the fund.

Where gross and net expense ratios differ, the investment adviser has contractually agreed to limit the investment option's expenses. Differences also may be due to the investment adviser's decision to pay (through the same dates) certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund.

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.

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

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.

This investment option is considered non-diversified, which means it, or the underlying mutual fund, can invest a higher percentage of its assets in fewer individual issuers than a diversified investment. As a result, changes in the value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations, gain or loss, in the net asset value than would occur if it was more diversified.

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.

The manager of the Fund, Principal Global Investors, invests between 10% and 40% of the Fund's assets in common stocks in an attempt to match or exceed the performance of the Fund's benchmark index for performance.
