Standard & Poor's 600 Stock Index is a small cap index that consists of 600 domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. Small-cap and mid-cap investment options are subject to more fluctuation in value and may have additional risks than other investment options with stocks of larger, more stable companies. Each index based investment option is invested in the stocks or bonds of the index it tracks. Performance of indexes reflects the unmanaged results for the market segment the selected stocks or bonds represent. There is no assurance an index based investment option will match the performance of the index tracked. Investment manager/sub-advisor means either the Investment Advisor or Sub-Advisor to the investment option or the underlying asset(s). Principal Life Insurance Company is the Investment Manager as defined by ERISA, with regard to the assets of the Separate Accounts. Principal Global Investors is a member of the Principal Financial Group. 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. For the NE Rate level, Principal Life Insurance Company (Principal Life) 1. pays the Sub-Adviser the management fee and compensation for services provided to the separate account, and 2. pays the separate account the expected operating expenses proportionally attributable to the NE Rate level in the maintenance of the Separate Account. Operating expenses may be greater or less than expected in any given period. The NE Rate level is only available to Contract holders who meet certain requirements and select certain additional products and services made available by Principal Life or an affiliate.
