About Principal Global Emerging Markets Fund R-5 Class

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of emerging market companies. The fund's manager considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). It invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value).
