Investor shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply.
Carefully consider a fund’s objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Visit www.PrincipalAM.com for a prospectus, or summary prospectus if available, containing this and other information. Please read it carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Equity investments involve greater risk, including heightened volatility, than fixed income investments. International and global investment options are subject to additional risk due to fluctuating exchange rates, foreign accounting and financial policies, and other economic and political environments.
