About PMDDX

The Principal Small-MidCap Dividend Income Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on providing investors with current income as well as long-term growth of income and capital.

The fund employs a quality-first investment approach, aiming to avoid value traps and mitigate risk by carefully selecting resilient, dividend-growing firms while maintaining sector neutrality.
