About PIIOX

Principal International Equity Index Fund R-3 Class is a mutual fund that seeks to provide long-term capital growth by passively tracking the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, a widely recognized benchmark for developed equity markets outside the United States and Canada. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common stocks of companies included in this index, offering investors exposure to large- and mid-cap equities from regions such as Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. This approach allows the fund to capture broad international diversification across multiple economic sectors and industries, reflecting the performance of established markets globally, excluding North America. Managed by a team with significant industry experience, the fund employs a low-cost, passive investment strategy, aiming to closely replicate the returns of its benchmark rather than outperform through active security selection. With a focus on annual dividend distributions and a broad international portfolio, the Principal International Equity Index Fund R-3 Class serves as a core holding for investors seeking to complement U.S. equity exposure and participate in the growth potential of developed markets overseas.
