Investment results shown represent historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Your mutual fund's returns and principal values will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so the value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance shown.
Principal Funds Class B shares closed to new investors and new assets effective March 1, 2010.
In situations where the net and gross fund expense figures are different, the investment manager has contractually agreed to limit the investment option's expense. Differences may also be shown due to the investment manager choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. The gross fund expense figure does not reflect any waivers or caps on the mutual fund. Performance shown reflects the application of net expenses of the fund.
The Annual Fund Operating Expenses tables in the prospectus reflect fees and expenses based on average net assets as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, and do not reflect any change in expense ratios resulting from a change in assets under management since October 31, 2008. A decline in a Fund’s average net assets during the current fiscal year, as a result of market volatility or other factors, could cause the Fund’s expense ratio to be higher than the fees and expenses shown. Significant declines in a Fund’s net assets will increase your Fund’s total expense ratio, likely significantly. A Fund with a higher expense ratio means you could pay more if you buy or hold shares of the Fund. Expense ratios, as of October 31, 2009, are available in the Fund’s annual report, which is available on this website.

Price The price, or net asset value is the value of mutual fund shares determined by deducting the fund's liabilities from the total assets of the portfolio and dividing this amount by the number of shares outstanding. This cannot be relied upon as today's offering price.
YTD at NAV % - Measured from January 1, to the most recent established NAV date. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions at NAV.
Average Annual Total Return at Maximum Offering Price (MOP) - The highest price that may be charged for purchases of fund shares, including the maximum contingent deferred sales charge or the maximum front end sales charge, whichever is applicable. Returns include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions at NAV as of August 31, 2010.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) - A deferred sales charge, which is paid at the time of redemption and generally decreases with the amount of time that fund shares are held before sale, ultimately declining to 0%. It is referred to as a contingent sales charge because of such declining schedule. The CDSC is also commonly called a back-end load. Performance displayed reflects the application of these charges.
