Dow Jones Newswires Covers Principal Global Diversified Income Fund
The Principal Global Diversified Income Fund (PGBAX) was the subject of a recent article by Dow Jones Newswires, Principal Fund Seeks High Income, Low Principal Risk, in an interview with Co-Portfolio Advisor Michael Finnegan.
The multi-discipline, multi-manager Fund combines six "non-core" fixed-income and equity investment strategies that have historically offered high income. It has had strong total return since its 12/15/08 inception.
Used to complement a traditional fixed-income portfolio, the Principal Global Diversified Income Fund is designed to:
- Help meet income objectives, providing monthly dividends.
- Add capital appreciation potential.
- Leverage global market opportunities.
- Support broad diversification in today’s economic environment.

Before investing, you should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact your financial professional, visit principalfunds.com, or call 800-222-5852 to obtain a prospectus containing this and other information. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Fixed-income investment options are subject to interest rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Lower-rated securities are subject to additional credit and default risks. Risks associated with preferred securities differ from risks inherent with other investments. In particular, in the event of bankruptcy, a company’s preferred securities are senior to common stock but subordinated to all other types of corporate debt.
International investing involves increased risks due to currency fluctuations, political or social instability, and differences in accounting standard; these risks are magnified in emerging markets. REIT securities are subject to risk factors associated with the real estate industry and tax factors of REIT registration.
