About PLARX
Principal SmallCap Value Fund II R5 is a mutual fund focused on long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. Adhering to a value-oriented strategy, the fund targets equities that the investment team believes are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth, aiming to capture opportunities often overlooked in the small-cap segment. At least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, are allocated to small-cap value stocks, making it a distinctive vehicle for gaining diversified exposure to this market niche. The fund is actively managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers who emphasize disciplined research and risk management. Tracking its performance against the Russell 2000 Value Index, the fund serves investors seeking potential growth from smaller U.S. companies while maintaining a value bias. Its role in the broader financial market is to provide access to smaller, potentially underappreciated firms, offering diversification benefits within an equity allocation and appealing to those aiming to participate in the long-term growth of the small-cap value sector.
