Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in value companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, value companies with large market capitalizations are those (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index (as of January 30, 2026, this range was between approximately $1.2 billion and $4.7 trillion), and (ii) included within at least one of the following value indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Value Index, the S&P 1500 Value Index, or the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)).
The Fund is primarily actively managed by the sub-advisors. In addition, Principal Global Investors, LLC may invest up to 30% of the Fund’s assets using an index sampling strategy designed to match the performance of the Russell 1000® Value Index.
