About PLGAX

Principal LargeCap Growth Fund I Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by primarily investing in equity securities of large-cap companies that exhibit strong growth characteristics. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowings for investment purposes, to growth-oriented stocks of companies with large market capitalizations, and may also include select mid-cap equities. Its portfolio is heavily weighted toward sectors with robust growth potential, particularly information technology, but also covers industries such as consumer cyclical, healthcare, and communication services. The fund is managed by a seasoned team that employs a bottom-up investment approach, favoring companies demonstrating positive momentum and the capacity to outperform market expectations. With a benchmark tied to the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the fund serves investors seeking exposure to leading U.S. and, to a limited extent, international growth companies. Its diversified portfolio and focus on sustainable earnings growth make it a significant vehicle for capturing the performance of the large-cap growth segment within the broader equity market.
