About PCAQX

Principal Capital Appreciation Fund R-5 Class is a mutual fund focused on providing long-term capital growth. Classified as a large blend fund, it primarily invests in equity securities across companies of various market capitalizations but maintains a notable bias toward large-cap stocks. The fund’s strategy emphasizes selecting businesses perceived to be trading below their private market value, with a preference for firms that possess enduring competitive advantages or significant barriers to entry. Key sectors represented include technology, financial services, and consumer goods, with top holdings typically featuring industry leaders such as Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Managed by an experienced team, the fund seeks to mirror the performance characteristics of the broader U.S. equity market and utilizes a diversified approach, making it a common choice in retirement-oriented portfolios. Its broad exposure and actively managed investment process underscore its role as a core holding within diversified long-term growth strategies, aiming to capture the potential of well-established U.S. companies while maintaining risk controls typical of a large blend mandate.
