| Investment Objective: |
A semi-transparent ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations at the time of purchase that, in the opinion of Principal Global Investors, LLC ("PGI"), the Fund's investment advisor, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. For this Fund, companies with large market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index (as of April 30, 2023, this was between approximately $659.2 million and $2.7 trillion). Blue chip companies are firms that, in PGI's view, are well established in their industries and have the potential for growth of capital and an expectation for above-average earnings. In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, PGI uses a bottom-up, fundamental process, focusing on, among other things, competitive position, company management and culture, free cash flow, and risk. The Fund invests in securities of foreign companies. The Fund also invests in the securities of companies that are in the financial services and information technology sectors. |
