About PTERX

The Principal LifeTime 2050 Fund R-3 Class is a target date mutual fund designed to serve investors planning to retire around the year 2050. Its primary purpose is to provide a total return comprised of long-term capital growth and current income, achieved through a diversified investment strategy that automatically adjusts over time. As a “fund of funds,” it allocates assets across a wide mix of underlying Principal Funds, which represent domestic and international equities, fixed income, and real asset categories. This structure offers broad diversification and aims to balance risk and reward throughout varying market conditions. One of the fund’s defining characteristics is its glide path: as the target year approaches, the allocation gradually becomes more conservative, reducing equity exposure in favor of fixed income and other lower-risk investments. This approach is intended to help protect accumulated savings as investors near retirement, while still pursuing growth in earlier years. The Principal LifeTime 2050 Fund R-3 Class plays a significant role in employer-sponsored retirement plans by offering an efficient, all-in-one solution that automatically evolves to meet the needs of investors throughout their working years and into retirement.
