The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
The fund is primarily actively managed by sub-advisors, which invest at least 80% of assets in growth equity securities of small-capitalization companies within the Russell 2000 Index range and included in at least one of the MSCI All Country World IMI Growth Index, S&P 1500 Growth Index, or Russell 3000 Growth Index. Principal Global Investors may also invest up to 30% of assets using an index sampling strategy to match the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Because the fund uses index sampling for a portion of its holdings, performance may diverge from the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

How it has done
PPNMX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 17.60%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
