Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The fund is a fund of funds that invests in a diversified portfolio of Principal mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, allocating assets among fixed-income, equity, and specialty funds based on the portfolio manager's outlook for economic conditions and market valuations. The fund typically holds 60% to 100% in equity funds, up to 40% in fixed-income funds, and less than 20% in specialty funds that may employ alternative strategies or hold infrastructure, commodities, and natural resources. Because the fund's returns depend on the performance of the underlying funds it selects and holds, divergence from the fund's stated allocation targets may occur if the underlying funds perform differently than anticipated.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
