About PPSFX

Principal LargeCap Value Fund III R-3 Class is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital growth by investing predominantly in large-cap companies that exhibit value characteristics. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio, allocating at least 80% of its assets to stocks of well-established companies with substantial market capitalizations, primarily those considered undervalued relative to their fundamentals. While its main focus is on large-cap equities, the fund also invests in select medium-cap companies and, occasionally, other investment vehicles such as exchange-traded funds. Managed by an experienced team at Principal Asset Management, the fund is benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Value Index, aligning its strategy with established value-oriented benchmarks. It features an expense ratio that reflects its R-3 share class and distributes dividends on a semi-annual basis. With a broad sector exposure including financial services, healthcare, technology, and real estate, the fund aims to provide investors access to mature, typically lower-volatility equities that can serve as a core component in a diversified portfolio focused on value investing.
