2014 Financial Highlights


The Principal had a record-setting 2014. In a macroeconomic environment that remains volatile, that’s an outstanding accomplishment.

Not only were total company operating earnings a record in 2014, at $1.3 billion, but all four of our operating segments achieved record operating earnings for the year.

In 2014, assets under management surpassed the half a trillion dollar mark and ended the year at a record $519 billion.

Record results. Ongoing momentum. Strong financial position. The Principal is poised for continued long-term growth.
