  ___________, 2010 
Dear Shareholder:   
       A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. (“PVC”) will be held at 680 8th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 
50392-2080, on July 8, 2010 at 10:30 a.m., Central Time. 
       At the meeting, the shareholders of each of the series of PVC listed in the first column below ( each, an “Acquired Fund”) will be asked 
to consider and approve a Plan of Acquisition (a “Plan”) providing for its reorganization into the corresponding PVC series listed in the 
second column below (each, an “Acquiring Fund”).   
                                                       ACQUIRED FUND                                                                               ACQUIRING FUND 
           Short-Term Bond Account                                           Short-Term Income Account 
           Government & High Quality Bond Account                                           Mortgage Securities Account 
           MidCap Value Account II                                           MidCap Blend Account 
           MidCap Growth Account I                                           MidCap Blend Account 
           International SmallCap Account                                           Diversified International Account 
 
       As an investor through a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy issued through an Insurance Company, you can 
instruct your Insurance Company as to how to vote on the proposed reorganizations. At the special meeting of shareholders, your Insurance 
Company will vote on as instructed by you and other investors holding contracts or policies through your Insurance Company. 
       Under the Plan: (i) each Acquiring Fund will acquire all the assets, subject to all the liabilities, of the corresponding Acquired Fund in 
exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds; (ii) the Acquiring Fund shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund; and 
(iii) the Acquired Fund will liquidate and terminate (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of an 
Acquired Fund will become a shareholder of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The total value of all shares of each Acquiring Fund issued 
in the Reorganization will equal the total value of the net assets of each corresponding Acquired Fund. The number of full and fractional 
shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a shareholder of the Acquired Fund will be equal in value to the value of that shareholder’s shares 
of the Acquired Fund as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the closing date of the 
Reorganization. Holders of Class 1 (and Class 2 shares where applicable) of the Acquired Fund will receive, respectively, Class 1 (and 
Class 2 shares where applicable) of the Acquiring Funds. The Reorganization is expected to occur as of the close of regularly scheduled 
trading on the NYSE on July 16, 2010. All share classes of the Acquired Funds will vote in the aggregate and not by class with respect to the 
Reorganization.   
       The value of your investment will not be affected by the Reorganization. Furthermore, in the opinion of legal counsel, no gain or loss 
will be recognized by any shareholder for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization. 
*****
       Enclosed you will find a Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, a Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and a voting instruction card for the 
shares of the Acquired Funds attributable to your variable contract or policy as of May 3, 2010, the record date for the Meeting. The Proxy 
Statement/Prospectus provides background information and describes in detail the matters to be voted on at the Meeting. 
       The Board of Directors has unanimously voted in favor of the proposed Reorganization and recommends that you vote FOR the 
Proposal.   
       In order for shares to be voted at the Meeting, we urge you to read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and then complete and mail

INTRODUCTION
       This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is being furnished to shareholders of the Acquired Funds to provide information regarding the Plans 
and the Reorganization. 
       Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. PVC is a Maryland corporation and an open-end management investment company 
registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. PVC currently offers 40 separate series or funds (the “PVC Accounts”), including the Acquired 
and Acquiring Funds. The sponsor of PVC is Principal Life Insurance Company (“Principal Life”), and the investment advisor to the PVC 
Funds is Principal Management Corporation (“PMC”). Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “PFD”) is the distributor for all 
share classes. Principal Life, an insurance company organized in 1879 under the laws of Iowa, PMC and PFD are indirect, wholly-owned 
subsidiaries of Principal Financial Group, Inc. (“PFG”). Their address is the Principal Financial Group, Des Moines, Iowa 50392-2080. 
         Investment Management. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with PVC with respect to each of the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds, PMC provides investment advisory services and certain corporate administrative services to the Funds. As permitted by 
the investment advisory agreement, PMC has entered into sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisors with respect to each of the Acquired 
and Acquiring Funds. Under its sub-advisory agreement, each sub-advisor assumes the obligations of PMC to provide investment advisory 
services for a specific Fund. PMC and the sub-advisors to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds are registered with the SEC as investment 
advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. 
THE REORGANIZATION
       At its meeting held on March 8, 2010, the Board, including all the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 
Act) of PVC (the “Independent Directors”), approved the Reorganization pursuant to the Plans providing for the combination of each 
Acquired Fund into the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The Board concluded with respect to each combination that the Reorganization is in 
the best interests of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of each Fund will not be diluted as 
a result of the Reorganization. The factors that the Board considered in deciding to approve the Reorganization are discussed below under 
“Board Consideration of the Reorganization.” 
       The Reorganization contemplates: (i) the transfer of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of each Acquired Fund to the 
corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) the distribution to Acquired Fund shareholders of the 
corresponding Acquiring Fund shares; and (iii) the liquidation and termination of each Acquired Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, 
each shareholder of an Acquired Fund will become a shareholder of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. In the Reorganization, each 
Acquiring Fund (as applicable) will issue a number of shares with a total value equal to the total value of the net assets of the corresponding 
Acquired Fund, and each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding 
Acquiring Fund with a value equal to the value of that shareholder’s shares of the Acquired Fund, as of the close of regularly scheduled 
trading on the NYSE on the closing date of the Reorganization (the “Effective Time”). The closing date of the Reorganization is expected to 
be July 23, 2010. Holders of Class 1 shares (as applicable) of each Acquired Fund will receive, respectively, Class 1 shares of the Acquiring 
Fund. The terms and conditions of the Reorganization are more fully described below in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and in the Form of 
Plans of Acquisition, which are attached hereto as Appendix A. 
         The consummation of the Reorganization as to each Acquired Fund may occur regardless of whether the consummation of the other 
Reorganization as to any other Acquired Fund occurs. 
         The Board has unanimously approved the Reorganization and believes that it is in the best interest of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
and will not result in the dilution of the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. The factors that the Board considered in deciding to 
approve the Reorganization are discussed below under “Board Consideration of the Reorganization.” 
       In the opinion of legal counsel, the Reorganization as to each Acquired and Acquiring Fund will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and, 
for federal income tax purposes, no gain or loss will be recognized as a result of the Reorganization by the Acquired or Acquiring Fund 
shareholders. See “Information About the Reorganization – Federal Income Tax Consequences.” 
       The Reorganization will not result in any material change in the purchase and redemption procedures followed with respect to the 
distribution of shares. See “Additional Information About the Funds – Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Shares.” 
       With respect to the Short-Term Bond Account into the Short-Term Income Account, it is proposed that PMC pay all expenses and out- 
of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, including printing, mailing, and legal fees. It is proposed that the Acquired 
Fund pay any trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund that would not be compatible with the 
investment objectives and strategies of the Acquiring Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be compatible. 36% of the 
portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund are expected to be disposed of. The estimated loss, including trading costs, would be $8,362,000 on 
a U.S. GAAP basis. The estimated per share capital loss would be $0.57. 
       With respect to the Government & High Quality Bond Account into the Mortgage Securities Account, it is proposed that PMC pay all 
expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, including printing, mailing, and legal fees. It is proposed 
that the Acquired Fund pay any trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund that would not be 
compatible with the investment objectives and strategies of the Acquiring Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be 
compatible. 7% of the portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund are expected to be disposed of. The estimated loss, including trading costs, 
would be $8,534,000 on a U.S. GAAP basis. The estimated per share capital loss would be $0.58. 
       With respect to the MidCap Value Account II into the MidCap Blend Account, the Acquired Fund is expected to achieve the greatest 
benefit from the Reorganization and, therefore, will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, 
including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $40,000. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences 
the expense ratios shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund 
to recover the estimated expenses of the Reorganization in one year. Further, the Acquired Fund will also pay any trading costs associated 

4



with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and strategies of 
the Acquiring Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be compatible. These costs are estimated to be $206,000. 96% of the 
portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund are expected to be disposed of. The estimated gain would be $9,896,000 on a U.S. GAAP basis. The 
estimated per share capital gain would be $1.07.   
 
       With respect to the MidCap Growth Account I into the MidCap Blend Account, the Acquired Fund is expected to achieve the greatest 
benefit from the Reorganization and, therefore, will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, 
including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $32,000. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences 
the expense ratios shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund 
to recover the estimated expenses of the Reorganization in one year. Further, the Acquired Fund will also pay any trading costs associated 
with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and strategies of 
the Acquiring Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be compatible. These costs are estimated to be $74,000. 93% of the 
portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund are expected to be disposed of. The estimated gain would be $2,398,000 on a U.S. GAAP basis. The 
estimated per share capital gain would be $0.38.   
 
       With respect to the International SmallCap Account into the Diversified International Account, the Acquired Fund is expected to achieve 
the greatest benefit from the Reorganization and, therefore, will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the 
Reorganization, including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $40,000. Assuming the Acquiring 
Fund experiences the expense ratios shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the 
Acquiring Fund to recover the estimated expenses of the Reorganization in one year. Further, the Acquired Fund will also pay any trading 
costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund that would not be compatible with the investment objectives 
and strategies of the Acquiring Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be compatible. These costs are estimated to be 
$305,000. 80% of the portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund are expected to be disposed of. The estimated gain would be $7,298,000 on a 
U.S. GAAP basis. The estimated per share capital gain would be $0.85. 
 
PROPOSAL 1:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
SHORT-TERM BOND ACCOUNT INTO THE SHORT-TERM INCOME ACCOUNT.
 
       Shareholders of the Short-Term Bond Account (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of the Acquired 
Fund into the Short-Term Income Account (the “Acquiring Fund.) 
 
Comparison of Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
 
       The following table provides comparative information with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. As indicated in the table, the 
Funds have similar investment objectives in that the Acquired Fund seeks to provide current income while the Acquiring Fund seeks to 
provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with prudent investment management and stability of principal. The Funds also 
have substantially similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in short-term fixed-income securities within the same credit 
quality range and both may invest in foreign fixed-income securities. The Funds differ principally in that the Acquired Fund generally holds 
securities with an average maturity of four years or less and dollar–weighted effective maturity of not more than three years while the 
Acquiring Fund generally holds securities with an average maturity of five years or less and a dollar-weighted average duration of not more 
than three years. In addition, the Acquired Fund may invest in high yield securities.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions: 
   The Funds are subject to identical fundamental investment restrictions. These fundamental restrictions deal with such matters as the 
   issuance of senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate or commodities, borrowing money, making loans, underwriting securities of 
   other issuers, diversification or concentration of investments, and short sales of securities. The fundamental investment restrictions of the 
   Funds are described in the Statement of Additional Information. 
 
       The investment objective of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Directors of PVC without shareholder approval. 
 
          Additional information about the investment strategies and the types of securities in which the Funds may invest is discussed below 
under “Certain Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Funds” as well as in the Statement of Additional Information.

Fees and Expenses of the Funds
 
Fees and Expenses as a % of average daily net assets 
 
       The following table shows: (a) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
2009; (b) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; and (c) the pro 
forma expense ratios of the Acquiring Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 assuming that the Reorganization had taken place at 
the commencement of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

       Commencing on the date of the Reorganization, Principal has contractually agreed to limit the Acquiring Fund’s expenses attributable to 
Class 1 shares and, if necessary, pay expenses normally payable by the Fund, excluding interest expense, through the period ending April 30, 
2012. The expense limits will maintain a total level of operating expenses, not including acquired fund fees and expenses or interest expense, 
(expressed as a percent of average net assets on an annualized basis) not to exceed 0.50% for Class 1 shares. 
 
         Examples: The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in shares of the Acquired and Acquiring 
Funds. The examples assume that fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above, that you invest $10,000 in the particular fund 
for the time periods indicated and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The examples also assume that your investment has a 
5% return each year. The examples also take into account the relevant contractual expense limit until the date of expiration. The examples 
should not be considered a representation of future expense of the Acquired or Acquiring fund. Actual expense may be greater or 
less than those shown.

           (Pro forma assuming Reorganization)           

Portfolio Turnover 
              Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher 
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. 
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most 
recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 69.3% of the average value of its portfolio while the portfolio 
turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 24.6%. 

Investment Management Fees/Sub-Advisory Arrangements   
 
       The Funds each pay their investment advisor, PMC, an advisory fee which for each Fund is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s 
average daily net assets pursuant to the following fee schedule:     
 
Short-Term Bond Account    Short-Term Income Account   
(Acquired Fund)    (Acquiring Fund)   
 
First $100 million  0.50%     
Next $100 million  0.45%  First $200 million  0.50% 
Next $100 million  0.40%  Next $300 million  0.45% 
Next $100 million  0.35%  Over $500 million  0.40% 
Over $400 million  0.30%

       As sub-advisors to the Funds, Edge and PGI are paid sub-advisory fees for their services. These sub-advisory fees are paid by PMC, not 
by the Funds. 
 
       A discussion of the basis of the Board’s approval of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds is available in PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. 
 
Comparison of Principal Investment Risks 
 
       In deciding whether to approve the Reorganization, shareholders should consider the amount and character of investment risk involved 
in the respective investment objectives and strategies of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. Because the Funds have similar investment 
objectives and substantially similar principal policies, the Funds’ risks are substantially similar. As described below, the Funds also have 
some different risks. 
 
Risks Applicable to both Funds: 
 
         Derivatives Risk. Transactions in derivatives (such as options, futures, and swaps) may increase volatility, cause the liquidation of 
portfolio positions when not advantageous to do so and produce disproportionate losses. Certain Fund transactions, such as reverse 
repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or 
derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. 
 
         Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit quality risk. The market value of 
fixed-income securities generally declines when interest rates rise, and an issuer of fixed-income securities could default on its payment 
obligations. 
 
         Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of foreign securities include loss of value as a result of: political or economic instability; 
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; changes in foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange restrictions; settlement 
delays; and limited government regulation (including less stringent reporting, accounting, and disclosure standards than are required of U.S. 
companies). 
 
         Portfolio Duration Risk. Portfolio duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed-income security and its sensitivity to changes in 
interest rates. The longer a fund's average portfolio duration, the more sensitive the fund will be to changes in interest rates. 
 
         Prepayment Risk. Unscheduled prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may have to be reinvested at lower rates. 
A reduction in prepayments may increase the effective maturities of these securities, exposing them to the risk of decline in market value 
over time (extension risk). 
 
         Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities (including real estate investment trusts ("REITs")) are subject to the risks associated 
with direct ownership of real estate, including declines in value, adverse economic conditions, increases in expenses, regulatory changes and 
environmental problems. A REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free passthrough of income under the Internal Revenue Code, and Fund 
shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests. 
 
         U.S. Government Securities Risk. Yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than yields from many other 
fixed-income securities. 
 
         U.S. Government Sponsored Securities Risk. Securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored or –chartered enterprises such as the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not issued or 
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. 
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquired Fund: 
 
         High Yield Securities Risk. High yield fixed-income securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") are subject to greater credit 
quality risk than higher rated fixed-income securities and should be considered speculative. 
 
Risk Applicable to the Acquiring Fund: 
 
         Underlying Fund Risk. An underlying fund to a fund of funds may experience relatively large redemptions or investments as the fund 
of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the underlying fund to sell portfolio securities to meet 
such redemptions, or to invest cash from such investments, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a result increase transaction 
costs and adversely affect underlying fund performance.

Performance
 
       The following information provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The bar chart shows the 
investment returns of the Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s Class 1 shares for each full calendar year of operations for 10 years (or, if shorter, 
the life of the Fund). The table shows, for each share class of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds and for the last one, five, and ten calendar 
year periods (or, if shorter, the life of the Fund), how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to the returns of one or more broad- 
based market indices. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. 
 
       Lifetime results for the Acquired Fund, are measured from the date the Account was first sold (May 1, 2003). 
 
       Performance for the Acquiring Fund reflects the performance of the predecessor fund. Class 1 shares began operations on January 12, 
1994, and Class 2 shares began operations on November 6, 2001. The returns for Class 2 shares for the periods prior to November 6, 2001 are 
based on the performance of Class 1 shares adjusted tor reflect the fees and expenses of Class 2 shares. The adjustments result in 
performance for such periods that is no higher than the historical performance of the Class 1 shares. 
 
       Performance figures for the Funds do not include any separate account expenses, cost of insurance, or other contract-level expenses. 
Total returns for the Funds would be lower if such expenses were included.

Board Consideration of the Reorganization
  The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan at its meeting on March 8, 2010. 
The Board considered information presented by PMC, and the Independent Directors were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Board 
requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to consider the Reorganization. At the meeting, the Board unanimously 
approved the Reorganization after concluding that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. 
  In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board made inquiry into a number of matters and considered, among others, 
the following factors, in no order of priority: 
(1)  similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies shared by the Funds; 
(2)  the absence of any differences in the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions; 
(3)  estimated trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in 
  connection with the Reorganization; 
(4)  expense ratios and available information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds; 
(5)  comparative investment performance of and other information pertaining to the Funds; 
(6)  the prospects for growth of and for achieving economies of scale by the Acquired Fund in combination with the Acquiring Fund; 
(7)  the absence of any material differences in the rights of shareholders of the Funds; 
(8)  the financial strength, investment experience and resources of Edge, which currently serves as sub-advisor to the Acquiring Fund 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 
(10) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the expected tax-free nature of the 
  Reorganization and the impact of any federal income tax loss carry forwards and the estimated capital gain or loss expected to be 
  incurred in connection with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
  strategies of the Acquiring Fund; 
(11) the fact that the Reorganization will not result in any dilution of Acquired or Acquiring Fund shareholder values; 
(12) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and 
(13) possible alternatives to the Reorganization. 
  The Board’s decision to recommend approval of the Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following: 
(1)  it should be reasonable for shareholders of the Acquired Fund to have similar investment expectations after the Reorganization because 
  the Funds have similar investment objectives and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks; 
(2)  Edge as sub-advisor responsible for managing the assets of the Acquiring Fund may be expected to provide high quality investment 
  advisory services and personnel for the foreseeable future; 
(3)  although the Acquiring Fund has higher advisory fee rates than the Acquired Fund, the combined Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund is 
  expected to have substantially the same overall expense ratios as the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization; and 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired Fund may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis greater 
  prospects for growth and efficient management.

PROPOSAL 2:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING
FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
GOVERNMENT & HIGH QUALITY BOND ACCOUNT
INTO THE MORTGAGE SECURITIES ACCOUNT.
 
       Shareholders of the Government & High Quality Bond Account (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of 
the Acquired Fund into the Mortgage Securities Account (the “Acquiring Fund.) Effective____________, simultaneously with the closing of 
the proposed Reorganization, the Mortgage Securities Fund will change its name to Government & High Quality Bond Account. The 
description below of the Acquiring Fund reflects the slight change in investment strategies that will accompany the name change. 
 
Comparison of Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
 
       The following table provides comparative information with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. As indicated in the table, the 
Funds have similar investment objectives in that the Acquired Fund seeks a high level of current income, liquidity, and safety of principal 
while the Acquiring Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with safety and liquidity. The Funds also have similar principal 
policies and risks in that both invest in U.S. government securities and mortgage-backed securities.

   Each of the Funds may invest in floating rate and variable rate obligations, including participation interests therein. 
Temporary Defensive Investing: 
   For temporary defensive purposes in times of unusual or adverse market, economic, or political conditions, each Fund may invest up to 
   100% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. In taking such defensive measures, either Fund may fail to achieve its investment 
   objective. 
Fundamental Investment Restrictions: 
   The Funds are subject to identical fundamental investment restrictions. These fundamental restrictions deal with such matters as the 
   issuance of senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate or commodities, borrowing money, making loans, underwriting securities of 
   other issuers, diversification or concentration of investments, and short sales of securities. The fundamental investment restrictions of the 
   Funds are described in the Statement of Additional Information. 
       The investment objective of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Directors of PVC without shareholder approval. 
       Additional information about the investment strategies and the types of securities in which the Funds may invest is discussed below 
under “Certain Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Funds” as well as in the Statement of Additional Information. 
       The Statement of Additional Information provides further information about the portfolio manager(s) for each Fund, including 
information about compensation, other accounts managed and ownership of Fund shares. 
 
Fees and Expenses of the Funds
 
Fees and Expenses as a % of average daily net assets 
 
       The following table shows: (a) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
2009; (b) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; and (c) the pro 
forma expense ratios of the Acquiring Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 assuming that the Reorganization had taken place at

Examples: The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in shares of the Acquired and Acquiring 
Funds. The examples assume that fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above, that you invest $10,000 in the particular fund 
for the time periods indicated and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The examples also assume that your investment has a 
5% return each year. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expense of the Acquired or Acquiring fund. 
Actual expense may be greater or less than those shown.

Mortgage Securities Account ( Acquiring Fund)  Class 1  52  164  285  640 
(Pro forma assuming Reorganization)           

Portfolio Turnover       
 
       Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher 
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. 
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most 
recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 120.7% of the average value of its portfolio while the portfolio 
turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 22.4%.       
 
Investment Management Fees/Sub-Advisory Arrangements
 
       The Funds each pay their investment advisor, PMC, an advisory fee which for each Fund is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s 
average daily net assets pursuant to the following fee schedule:     
 
Government & High Quality Bond Account  Mortgage Securities Account 
(Acquired Fund) (Acquiring Fund) 
 
First $100 million  0.50%  First $2 billion  0.50% 
Next $100 million  0.45%  Over $2 billion  0.45% 
Next $100 million  0.40%     
Next $100 million  0.35%     
Over $400 million  0.30%     
 
       As sub-advisors to the Funds, Edge and PGI are paid sub-advisory fees for their services. These sub-advisory fees are paid by PMC, not 
by the Funds.       
 
       A discussion of the basis of the Board’s approval of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds is available in PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. 
 
  Comparison of Principal Investment Risks 
 
       In deciding whether to approve the Reorganization, shareholders should consider the amount and character of investment risk involved 
in the respective investment objectives and strategies of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. Because the Funds have similar investment 
objectives and principal policies, the Funds’ risks are similar. As described below, the Funds also have some different risks. 
 
Risks Applicable to both Funds:       
 
         Derivatives Risk. Transactions in derivatives (such as options, futures, and swaps) may increase volatility, cause the liquidation of 
portfolio positions when not advantageous to do so and produce disproportionate losses. Certain Fund transactions, such as reverse 
repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or 
derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. 
 
         Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit quality risk. The market value of 
fixed-income securities generally declines when interest rates rise, and an issuer of fixed-income securities could default on its payment 
obligations.       
 
         Portfolio Duration Risk. Portfolio duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed-income security and its sensitivity to changes in 
interest rates. The longer a fund's average portfolio duration, the more sensitive the fund will be to changes in interest rates. 
 
         Prepayment Risk. Unscheduled prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may have to be reinvested at lower rates. 
A reduction in prepayments may increase the effective maturities of these securities, exposing them to the risk of decline in market value 
over time (extension risk).       
 
         Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities (including real estate investment trusts ("REITs")) are subject to the risks associated 
with direct ownership of real estate, including declines in value, adverse economic conditions, increases in expenses, regulatory changes and 
environmental problems. A REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free passthrough of income under the Internal Revenue Code, and Fund 
shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests. 

13



         U.S. Government Securities Risk. Yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than yields from many other 
fixed-income securities. 
 
         U.S. Government Sponsored Securities Risk. Securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored or –chartered enterprises such as the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not issued or 
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. 
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquired Fund: 
 
         Active Trading Risk. Actively trading portfolio securities may result in high portfolio turnover rates and increase brokerage costs, 
accelerate realization of taxable gains and adversely impact fund performance. 
 
Risk Applicable to the Acquiring Fund: 
 
         Industry Concentration (Sector) Risk. A fund that concentrates investments in a particular industry or group of industries (e.g., real 
estate, technology, financial services) has greater exposure than other funds to market, economic and other factors affecting that industry or 
sector. 
 
         Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities (including real estate investment trusts ("REITs")) are subject to the risks associated 
with direct ownership of real estate, including declines in value, adverse economic conditions, increases in expenses, regulatory changes and 
environmental problems. A REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free passthrough of income under the Internal Revenue Code, and Fund 
shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests. 
 
Performance
 
       The following information provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The bar chart shows the 
investment returns of the Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s Class 1 shares for each full calendar year of operations for 10 years (or, if shorter, 
the life of the Fund). The table shows, for each share class of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds and for the last one, five, and ten calendar 
year periods (or, if shorter, the life of the Fund), how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to the returns of one or more broad- 
based market indices. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. 
 
       Performance for the Acquiring Fund reflects the performance of the predecessor fund. On March 1, 2004, the investment policies of the 
predecessor Fund were modified. As a result, the predecessor Fund’s performance for periods prior to that date may not be representative of 
the performance it would have achieved had its current investment policies been in place. 
 
       Class 1 shares of the Acquiring Fund began operations on May 6, 1993, and Class 2 shares began operations on November 6, 2001. The 
returns for Class 2 shares for the periods prior to November 6, 2001 are based on the performance of Class 1 shares adjusted to reflect the 
fees and expenses of Class 2 shares. The adjustment results in performance for such periods that is no higher than the historical performance 
of the Class 1 shares. 
 
       Performance figures for the Funds do not include any separate account expenses, cost of insurance, or other contract-level expenses. 
Total returns for the Funds would be lower if such expenses were included.

Board Consideration of the Reorganization
  The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan at its meeting on March 8, 2010. 
The Board considered information presented by PMC, and the Independent Directors were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Board 
requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to consider the Reorganization. At the meeting, the Board unanimously 
approved the Reorganization after concluding that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. 
  In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board made inquiry into a number of matters and considered, among others, 
the following factors, in no order of priority: 
(1)  similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies shared by the Funds; 
(2)  the absence of any differences in the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions; 
(3)  estimated trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in 
  connection with the Reorganization; 
(4)  expense ratios and available information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds; 
(5)  comparative investment performance of and other information pertaining to the Funds; 
(6)  the prospects for growth of and for achieving economies of scale by the Acquired Fund in combination with the Acquiring Fund; 
(7)  the absence of any material differences in the rights of shareholders of the Funds; 
(8)  the financial strength, investment experience and resources of Edge, which currently serves as sub-advisor to the Acquiring Fund 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 
(10) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the expected tax-free nature of the 
  Reorganization and the impact of any federal income tax loss carry forwards and the estimated capital gain or loss expected to be 
  incurred in connection with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
  strategies of the Acquiring Fund; 
(11) the fact that the Reorganization will not result in any dilution of Acquired or Acquiring Fund shareholder values; 

15



(12) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and 
(13) possible alternatives to the Reorganization. 
  The Board’s decision to recommend approval of the Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following: 
(1)  it should be reasonable for shareholders of the Acquired Fund to have similar investment expectations after the Reorganization because 
  the Funds have similar investment objectives and principal investment strategies and risks; 
(2)  Edge as sub-advisor responsible for managing the assets of the Acquiring Fund may be expected to provide high quality investment 
  advisory services and personnel for the foreseeable future; 
(3)  although the Acquiring Fund has higher advisory fee rates and overall expense ratios than the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund has 
  outperformed the Acquired Fund for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2009; and 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired Fund may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis greater 
  prospects for growth and efficient management. 

PROPOSAL 3:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING
FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
MIDCAP VALUE ACCOUNT II
INTO THE MIDCAP BLEND ACCOUNT.
 
 
       Shareholders of the Midcap Value Account II (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of the Acquired Fund 
into the MidCap Blend Account (the “Acquiring Fund). As is more fully described under Proposal 4 below, the MidCap Value Account II, 
another PVC Fund, is also proposed to be reorganized into the Acquiring Fund. The implementation of each such reorganization is not 
contingent upon shareholder approval and implementation of other reorganizations. 
 
                                             Comparison of Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
       The following table provides comparative information with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. As indicated in the table, the 
Funds have identical investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The Funds also have substantially 
similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in equity securities of medium capitalization companies. The Funds differ 
principally in that the Acquired Fund uses a value oriented approach to stock selection while the Acquiring Fund invests in stocks with value 
and/or growth characteristics. In addition, the Acquired Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.

       Principal has contractually agreed to limit the Acquired Fund’s expenses attributable to Class 1 shares and, if necessary, pay expenses 
normally payable by the Fund, excluding interest expense and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, through the period ending April 30, 2011. 
The expense limits will maintain a total level of operating expenses, not including acquired fund fees and expenses or interest expense, 
(expressed as a percent of average net assets on an annualized basis) not to exceed 1.01% for Class 1 shares. 
 
       The costs associated with the Reorganization are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. The Acquired Fund will 
 
pay the costs associated with the Reorganization which are estimated to be $40,000. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences the expense 
ratios in the above table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund to recover the estimated expenses of the 
Reorganization in less than one year. 
 
       Examples: The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in shares of the Acquired and Acquiring 
Funds. The examples assume that fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above, that you invest $10,000 in the particular fund 
for the time periods indicated and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The examples also assume that your investment has a 
5% return each year. The examples also take into account the relevant contractual expense limit until the date of expiration. The examples 
should not be considered a representation of future expense of the Acquired or Acquiring fund. Actual expense may be greater or 
less than those shown.

Portfolio Turnover 
 
          Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher 
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. 
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most 
recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 164.4% of the average value of its portfolio while the portfolio 
turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 25.4%.

Investment Management Fees/Sub-Advisory Arrangements
 
       The Funds each pay their investment advisor, PMC, an advisory fee which for each Fund is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s 
average daily net assets pursuant to the following fee schedule:

       A discussion of the basis of the Board’s approval of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds is available in PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. 
 
  Comparison of Principal Investment Risks 
 
       In deciding whether to approve the Reorganization, shareholders should consider the amount and character of investment risk involved 
in the respective investment objectives and strategies of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. Because the Funds have the same investment 
objectives and substantially the same principal policies, the Funds’ risks are similar. As described below, the Funds also have some different 
risks.       
 
Risks Applicable to both Funds:       
 
         Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities (common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks and securities whose values are tied to 
the price of stocks, such as rights, warrants and convertible debt securities) could decline in value if the issuer's financial condition declines 
or in response to overall market and economic conditions. A fund's principal market segment(s), such as large cap, mid cap or small cap 
stocks, or growth or value stocks, may underperform other market segments or the equity markets as a whole. Investments in smaller 
companies and mid-size companies may involve greater risk and price volatility than investments in larger, more mature companies. 
 
         Value Stock Risk. The market may not recognize the intrinsic value of value stocks for a long time, or they may be appropriately priced 
at the time of purchase.       
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquired Fund:       
 
         Active Trading Risk. Actively trading portfolio securities may result in high portfolio turnover rates and increase brokerage costs, 
accelerate realization of taxable gains and adversely impact fund performance.   
 
         Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") Risk. An ETF is subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of the securities comprising 
the index on which the ETF is based. Fund shareholders indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETFs in which the 
fund invests.       
 
         Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of foreign securities include loss of value as a result of: political or economic instability; 
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; changes in foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange restrictions; settlement 
delays; and limited government regulation (including less stringent reporting, accounting, and disclosure standards than are required of U.S. 
companies).       
 
         Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities (including real estate investment trusts ("REITs")) are subject to the risks associated 
with direct ownership of real estate, including declines in value, adverse economic conditions, increases in expenses, regulatory changes and 
environmental problems. A REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free passthrough of income under the Internal Revenue Code, and Fund 
shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests. 
 
Risk Applicable to the Acquiring Fund:       
 
         Growth Stock Risk. Market prices of growth stocks are often more sensitive than other securities to earnings expectations. 
 
         Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs") Risk. The market for IPO shares may be volatile, continued access to IPO offerings cannot be 
assured, and a fund may dispose of IPO shares shortly after their acquisition.   
 
         Risks of Being an Underlying Fund. An underlying fund to a fund of funds may experience relatively large redemptions or 
investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the underlying fund to sell 
portfolio securities to meet such redemptions, or to invest cash from such investments, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a 
result increase transaction costs and adversely affect underlying fund performance.

Performance
 
       The following information provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The bar chart shows the 
investment returns of the Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s Class 1 shares for each full calendar year of operations for 10 years (or, if shorter, 
the life of the Fund). The table shows, for each share class of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds and for the last one, five, and ten calendar 
year periods (or, if shorter, the life of the Fund), how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to the returns of one or more broad- 
based market indices. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. 
 
       Class 1 shares of the Acquiring Fund began operations on December 18, 1987, and Class 2 began operations on September 9, 2009. The 
returns for Class 2 shares for the periods prior to September 9, 2009, are based on the performance of Class 1 shares adjusted to reflect the 
fees and expenses of Class 2 shares. The adjustment results in performance for such periods that is no higher than the historical performance 
of the Class 1 shares. 
 
          Performance figures for the Funds do not include any separate account expenses, cost of insurance, or other contract-level expenses. 
Total returns for the Funds would be lower if such expenses were included.

Board Consideration of the Reorganization
  The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan at its meeting on March 8, 2010. 
The Board considered information presented by PMC, and the Independent Directors were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Board 
requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to consider the Reorganization. At the meeting, the Board unanimously 
approved the Reorganization after concluding that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. 
  In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board made inquiry into a number of matters and considered, among others, 
the following factors, in no order of priority: 
(1)  identical investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies shared by the Funds; 
(2)  the absence of any differences in the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions; 
(3)  estimated trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in 
  connection with the Reorganization; 
(4)  expense ratios and available information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds; 
(5)  comparative investment performance of and other information pertaining to the Funds; 
(6)  the prospects for growth of and for achieving economies of scale by the Acquired Fund in combination with the Acquiring Fund; 
(7)  the absence of any material differences in the rights of shareholders of the Funds; 
(8)  the financial strength, investment experience and resources of PGI, which currently serves as sub-advisor to the Acquiring Fund 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 
(10) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the expected tax-free nature of the 
  Reorganization and the impact of any federal income tax loss carry forwards and the estimated capital gain or loss expected to be 
  incurred in connection with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
  strategies of the Acquiring Fund; 
(11) the fact that the Reorganization will not result in any dilution of Acquired or Acquiring Fund shareholder values; 
(12) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and 
(13) possible alternatives to the Reorganization. 
  The Board’s decision to recommend approval of the Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following: 
(1)  it should be reasonable for shareholders of the Acquired Fund to have similar investment expectations after the Reorganization because 
  the Funds have identical investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies and risks; 
(2)  PGI as sub-advisor responsible for managing the assets of the Acquiring Fund may be expected to provide high quality investment 
  advisory services and personnel for the foreseeable future; 
(3)  the Acquiring Fund has lower advisory fee rates and overall expense ratios than the Acquired Fund; and 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired Fund may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis greater 
  prospects for growth and efficient management. 
(5)  the Acquiring Fund has outperformed the Acquired Fund for the five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2009.

PROPOSAL 4:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING
FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
MIDCAP GROWTH ACCOUNT I
INTO THE MIDCAP BLEND ACCOUNT
 
       Shareholders of the MidCap Growth Account I (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of the Acquired 
Fund into the MidCap Blend Account (the “Acquiring Fund). As is more fully described under Proposal 3 above, the MidCap Value Account 
II, another PVC Fund, is also proposed to be reorganized into the Acquiring Fund. The implementation of each such reorganization is not 
contingent upon shareholder approval and implementation of other reorganizations. 
 
                                                                                                 Comparison of Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
 
       The following table provides comparative information with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. As indicated in the table, the 
Funds have identical investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The Funds also have substantially 
similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in equity securities of medium capitalization companies. The Funds differ 
principally in that the Acquired Fund focuses on investment of companies with growth characteristics while the Acquiring Fund is more 
actively managed, while the Acquiring Fund seeks more closely to track its benchmark index. In addition, the Acquired Fund may invest up 
to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.

Temporary Defensive Investing: 
   For temporary defensive purposes in times of unusual or adverse market, economic, or political conditions, each Fund may invest up to 
   100% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. In taking such defensive measures, either Fund may fail to achieve its investment 
   objective. 
 
Fundamental Investment Restrictions: 
   The Funds are subject to identical fundamental investment restrictions. These fundamental restrictions deal with such matters as the 
   issuance of senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate or commodities, borrowing money, making loans, underwriting securities of 
   other issuers, diversification or concentration of investments, and short sales of securities. The fundamental investment restrictions of the 
   Funds are described in the Statement of Additional Information. 
 
       The investment objective of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Directors of PVC without shareholder approval. 
 
           Additional information about the investment strategies and the types of securities in which the Funds may invest is discussed below 
under “Certain Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Funds” as well as in the Statement of Additional Information.

information about compensation, other accounts managed and ownership of Fund shares. . 
Fees and Expenses of the Funds
Fees and Expenses as a % of average daily net assets 
       The following table shows: (a) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
2009; (b) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; and (c) the pro 
forma expense ratios of the Acquiring Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 assuming that the Reorganization had taken place at 
the commencement of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

         The costs associated with the Reorganization are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. The Acquired Fund will 
pay the costs associated with the Reorganization which are estimated to be $32,000. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences the expense 
ratios in the above table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund to recover the estimated expenses of the 
Reorganization in less than one year. 
 
       Examples: The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in shares of the Acquired and Acquiring 
Funds. The examples assume that fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above, that you invest $10,000 in the particular fund 
for the time periods indicated and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The examples also assume that your investment has a 
5% return each year. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expense of the Acquired or Acquiring fund. 
Actual expense may be greater or less than those shown.

Portfolio Turnover 
 
             Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher 
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. 
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most 
recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 79.8% of the average value of its portfolio while the portfolio 
turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 25.4%.

Investment Management Fees/Sub-Advisory Arrangements
 
       The Funds each pay their investment advisor, PMC, an advisory fee which for each Fund is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s 
average daily net assets pursuant to the following fee schedule:

       As sub-advisors to the Funds, Mellon Capital and PGI are paid sub-advisory fees for their services. These sub-advisory fees are paid by 
PMC, not by the Funds.       
 
       A discussion of the basis of the Board’s approval of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds is available in PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. 
 
  Comparison of Principal Investment Risks 
 
       In deciding whether to approve the Reorganization, shareholders should consider the amount and character of investment risk involved 
in the respective investment objectives and strategies of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. Because the Funds have the same investment 
objectives and similar principal policies, the Funds’ risks are similar. As described below, the Funds also have some different risks. 
 
Risks Applicable to both Funds:       
 
         Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities (common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks and securities whose values are tied to 
the price of stocks, such as rights, warrants and convertible debt securities) could decline in value if the issuer's financial condition declines 
or in response to overall market and economic conditions. A fund's principal market segment(s), such as large cap, mid cap or small cap 
stocks, or growth or value stocks, may underperform other market segments or the equity markets as a whole. Investments in smaller 
companies and mid-size companies may involve greater risk and price volatility than investments in larger, more mature companies. 
 
         Growth Stock Risk. Market prices of growth stocks are often more sensitive than other securities to earnings expectations. 
 
         Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs") Risk. The market for IPO shares may be volatile, continued access to IPO offerings cannot be 
assured, and a fund may dispose of IPO shares shortly after their acquisition.   
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquired Fund:       
 
         Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of foreign securities include loss of value as a result of: political or economic instability; 
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; changes in foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange restrictions; settlement 
delays; and limited government regulation (including less stringent reporting, accounting, and disclosure standards than are required of U.S. 
companies).       
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquiring Fund:       
 
         Value Stock Risk. The market may not recognize the intrinsic value of value stocks for a long time, or they may be appropriately priced 
at the time of purchase.       
 
         Risks of Being an Underlying Fund. An underlying fund to a fund of funds may experience relatively large redemptions or 
investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the underlying fund to sell 
portfolio securities to meet such redemptions, or to invest cash from such investments, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a 
result increase transaction costs and adversely affect underlying fund performance.   
 
Performance
 
       The following information provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The bar chart shows the 
investment returns of the Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s Class 1 shares for each full calendar year of operations for 10 years (or, if shorter, 
the life of the Fund). The table shows, for each share class of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds and for the last one, five, and ten calendar 
year periods (or, if shorter, the life of the Fund), how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to the returns of one or more broad- 
based market indices. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. 
 
       Class 1 shares of the Acquiring Fund began operations on December 18, 1987, and Class 2 began operations on September 9, 2009. The 
returns for Class 2 shares for the periods prior to September 9, 2009, are based on the performance of Class 1 shares adjusted to reflect the 
fees and expenses of Class 2 shares. The adjustment results in performance for such periods that is no higher than the historical performance 
of the Class 1 shares.       
 
       Performance figures for the Funds do not include any separate account expenses, cost of insurance, or other contract-level expenses. 
Total returns for the Funds would be lower if such expenses were included.

Board Consideration of the Reorganization
  The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan at its meeting on March 8, 2010. 
The Board considered information presented by PMC, and the Independent Directors were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Board 
requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to consider the Reorganization. At the meeting, the Board unanimously 
approved the Reorganization after concluding that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. 
  In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board made inquiry into a number of matters and considered, among others, 
the following factors, in no order of priority: 
(1)  identical investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies shared by the Funds; 
(2)  the absence of any differences in the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions; 
(3)  estimated trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in 
  connection with the Reorganization; 
(4)  expense ratios and available information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds; 
(5)  comparative investment performance of and other information pertaining to the Funds; 
(6)  the prospects for growth of and for achieving economies of scale by the Acquired Fund in combination with the Acquiring Fund; 
(7)  the absence of any material differences in the rights of shareholders of the Funds; 
(8)  the financial strength, investment experience and resources of PGI, which currently serves as sub-advisor to the Acquiring Fund 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 
(10) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the expected tax-free nature of the 
  Reorganization and the impact of any federal income tax loss carry forwards and the estimated capital gain or loss expected to be 
  incurred in connection with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
  strategies of the Acquiring Fund; 
(11) the fact that the Reorganization will not result in any dilution of Acquired or Acquiring Fund shareholder values; 
(12) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and 
(13) possible alternatives to the Reorganization. 
  The Board’s decision to recommend approval of the Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following: 
(1)  it should be reasonable for shareholders of the Acquired Fund to have similar investment expectations after the Reorganization because 
  the Funds have the same investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies and risks; 
(2)  PGI as sub-advisor responsible for managing the assets of the Acquiring Fund may be expected to provide high quality investment 
  advisory services and personnel for the foreseeable future; 
(3)  the Acquiring Fund has lower advisory fee rates and lower overall expense ratios than the Acquired Fund; and 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired Fund may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis greater 
  prospects for growth and efficient management. 
(5)  the Acquiring Fund has outperformed the Acquired Fund for the five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2009.

PROPOSAL 5:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING
FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP ACCOUNT
INTO THE DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNT.
 
 
       Shareholders of the International SmallCap Account (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of the 
Acquired Fund into the Diversified International Account (the “Acquiring Fund.) 
 
                     Comparison of Acquired and Acquiring Funds 
       The following table provides comparative information with respect to the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. As indicated in the table, the 
Funds have similar investment objectives in that the Acquiring Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of equity 
securities of companies established outside the U.S. while the Acquired Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Funds also have 
substantially similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies. The Funds differ in 
that the Acquired Fund generally holds principally securities of non-U.S. companies with relatively smaller market capitalizations while the 
Acquiring Fund invests in equity securities of small, medium, and large capitalization companies. Further, the Acquiring Fund, under normal 
circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets in companies located in at least three different countries, one of which may be the U.S.

Temporary Defensive Investing:     
   For temporary defensive purposes in times of unusual or adverse market, economic, or political conditions, each Fund may invest up to 
   100% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. In taking such defensive measures, either Fund may fail to achieve its investment 
   objective.     
Fundamental Investment Restrictions:     
   The Funds are subject to identical fundamental investment restrictions. These fundamental restrictions deal with such matters as the 
   issuance of senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate or commodities, borrowing money, making loans, underwriting securities of 
   other issuers, diversification or concentration of investments, and short sales of securities. The fundamental investment restrictions of the 
   Funds are described in the Statement of Additional Information.     

29



       The investment objective of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Directors of PVC without shareholder approval. 
 
       Additional information about the investment strategies and the types of securities in which the Funds may invest is discussed below 
under “Certain Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Funds” as well as in the Statement of Additional Information. 
 
       The Statement of Additional Information provides further information about the portfolio manager(s) for each Fund, including 
information about compensation, other accounts managed and ownership of Fund shares. 
 
Fees and Expenses of the Funds
 
Fees and Expenses as a % of average daily net assets 
 
       The following table shows: (a) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
2009; (b) the ratios of expenses to average net assets of the Acquired Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; and (c) the pro 
forma expense ratios of the Acquiring Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 assuming that the Reorganization had taken place at 
the commencement of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

       Principal has contractually agreed to limit the Acquired Fund’s expenses attributable to Class 1 shares and, if necessary, pay expenses 
normally payable by the Fund, excluding interest expense, through the period ending April 30, 2011. The expense limits will maintain a total 
level of operating expenses, not including acquired fund fees and expenses or interest expense, (expressed as a percent of average net assets 
on an annualized basis) not to exceed 1.16% for Class 1 shares. 
 
         The costs associated with the Reorganization are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. The Acquired Fund will 
pay the costs associated with the Reorganization which are estimated to be $40,000. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences the expense 
ratios in the above table, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund to recover the estimated expenses of the 
Reorganization in less than one year. 
 
         Examples: The following examples are intended to help you compare the costs of investing in shares of the Acquired and Acquiring 
Funds. The examples assume that fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above, that you invest $10,000 in the particular fund 
for the time periods indicated and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. The examples also assume that your investment has a 
5% return each year. The examples also take into account the relevant contractual expense limit until the date of expiration. The examples 
should not be considered a representation of future expense of the Acquired or Acquiring fund. Actual expense may be greater or 
less than those shown.

     (Pro forma assuming Reorganization)           

Portfolio Turnover 
 
           Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher 
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. 
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most 
recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 124.6% of the average value of its portfolio while the portfolio 
turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 105.5%. 

30



Investment Management Fees/Sub-Advisory Arrangements
 
       The Funds each pay their investment advisor, PMC, an advisory fee which for each Fund is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s 
average daily net assets pursuant to the following fee schedule:     
 
International SmallCap Account    Diversified International Account   
(Acquired Fund)    (Acquiring Fund)   
 
First $100 million  1.20%     First $250 million  0.85% 
Next $100 million  1.15%     Next $250 million  0.80% 
Next $100 million  1.10%     Next $250 million  0.75% 
Next $100 million  1.05%     Next $250 million  0.70% 
Over $400 million  1.00%     Over $1 billion  0.65% 
 
       As sub-advisor to the Funds, PGI is paid sub-advisory fees for their services. These sub-advisory fees are paid by PMC, not by the 
Funds.       
 
       A discussion of the basis of the Board’s approval of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements with respect to the Acquired and 
Acquiring Funds is available in PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.   
 
  Comparison of Principal Investment Risks   
 
       In deciding whether to approve the Reorganization, shareholders should consider the amount and character of investment risk involved 
in the respective investment objectives and strategies of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. Because the Funds have similar investment 
objectives and substantially similar principal policies, the Funds’ risks are substantially similar. As described below, the Funds also have 
some different risks.       
 
Risks Applicable to both Funds:       
 
         Active Trading Risk. Actively trading portfolio securities may result in high portfolio turnover rates and increase brokerage costs, 
accelerate realization of taxable gains and adversely impact fund performance.   
 
         Derivatives Risk. Transactions in derivatives (such as options, futures, and swaps) may increase volatility, cause the liquidation of 
portfolio positions when not advantageous to do so and produce disproportionate losses. Certain Fund transactions, such as reverse 
repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or 
derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. 
 
         Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities (common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks and securities whose values are tied to 
the price of stocks, such as rights, warrants and convertible debt securities) could decline in value if the issuer's financial condition declines 
or in response to overall market and economic conditions. A fund's principal market segment(s), such as large cap, mid cap or small cap 
stocks, or growth or value stocks, may underperform other market segments or the equity markets as a whole. Investments in smaller 
companies and mid-size companies may involve greater risk and price volatility than investments in larger, more mature companies. 
 
         Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of foreign securities include loss of value as a result of: political or economic instability; 
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation; changes in foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange restrictions; settlement 
delays; and limited government regulation (including less stringent reporting, accounting, and disclosure standards than are required of U.S. 
companies).       
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquired Fund:       
 
         Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs") Risk. An ETF is subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of the securities comprising 
the index on which the ETF is based. Fund shareholders indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETFs in which the 
fund invests.       
 
Risks Applicable to the Acquiring Fund:       
 
         Risks of Being an Underlying Fund. An underlying fund to a fund of funds may experience relatively large redemptions or 
investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the underlying fund to sell 
portfolio securities to meet such redemptions, or to invest cash from such investments, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a 
result increase transaction costs and adversely affect underlying fund performance.   
 
Performance
 
       The following information provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Acquired and Acquiring Funds. The bar chart shows the 
investment returns of the Acquired and Acquiring Fund’s Class 1 shares for each full calendar year of operations for 10 years (or, if shorter, 
the life of the Fund). The table shows, for each share class of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds and for the last one, five, and ten calendar 
year periods (or, if shorter, the life of the Fund), how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to the returns of one or more broad- 
based market indices. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.   
 
       Class 1 shares began operations on May 2, 1994, and Class 2 shares began operations on January 8, 2007. the returns for Class 2 shares 
for the periods prior to January 8, 2007 are based on the performance of Class 1 shares adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class 2 
shares. The adjustment results in performance for such periods that is no higher than the historical performance of the Class 1 shares.

Performance figures for the Funds do not include any separate account expenses, cost of insurance, or other contract-level expenses.

Total returns for the Funds would be lower if such expenses were included.

Board Consideration of the Reorganization
  The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan at its meeting on March 8, 2010. 
The Board considered information presented by PMC, and the Independent Directors were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Board 
requested and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary to consider the Reorganization. At the meeting, the Board unanimously 
approved the Reorganization after concluding that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. 
  In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board made inquiry into a number of matters and considered, among others, 
the following factors, in no order of priority: 
(1)  similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies shared by the Funds; 
(2)  the absence of any differences in the Funds’ fundamental investment restrictions; 
(3)  estimated trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund and reinvesting the proceeds in 
  connection with the Reorganization; 
(4)  expense ratios and available information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds; 
(5)  comparative investment performance of and other information pertaining to the Funds; 
(6)  the prospects for growth of and for achieving economies of scale by the Acquired Fund in combination with the Acquiring Fund; 
(7)  the absence of any material differences in the rights of shareholders of the Funds; 
(8)  the financial strength, investment experience and resources of PGI, which currently serves as sub-advisor to the Acquiring Fund. 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 
(10) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the expected tax-free nature of the 
  Reorganization and the impact of any federal income tax loss carry forwards and the estimated capital gain or loss expected to be 
  incurred in connection with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
  strategies of the Acquiring Fund; 
(11) the fact that the Reorganization will not result in any dilution of Acquired or Acquiring Fund shareholder values; 
(12) the terms and conditions of the Plan; and 
(13) possible alternatives to the Reorganization. 
  The Board’s decision to recommend approval of the Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following: 
(1)  it should be reasonable for shareholders of the Acquired Fund to have similar investment expectations after the Reorganization because 
  the Funds have similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies and risks; 
(2)  PGI as sub-advisor responsible for managing the assets of the Acquiring Fund may be expected to provide high quality investment 
  advisory services and personnel for the foreseeable future; 
(3)  the Acquiring Fund has lower advisory fee rates and lower overall expense ratios than the Acquired Fund; and 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired Fund may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis greater 
  prospects for growth and efficient management. 
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION
Plans of Acquisition
  The terms of the Plans are summarized below. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of the Plans which is 
attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. 
  Under each Plan, the Acquiring Fund will acquire all the assets and assume all the liabilities of the corresponding Acquired Funds. We 
expect that the closing date will be July 16, 2010, or such earlier or later date as PMC may determine, and that the Effective Time of the 
Reorganization will be as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the NYSE (normally 3:00 p.m., Central Time) on that date. Each 
Fund will determine its net asset values as of the close of trading on the NYSE using the procedures described in its then current prospectus 
(the procedures applicable to each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund is identical). Each Acquiring Fund will issue to the corresponding 
Acquired Fund a number of shares of each share class with a total value equal to the total value of the net assets of the corresponding share 
class of the Acquired Fund outstanding at the Effective Time. 
  Immediately after the Effective Time, each Acquired Fund will distribute to its shareholders Acquiring Fund shares of the same class as 
the Acquired Fund shares each shareholder owns in exchange for all Acquired Fund shares of that class. Acquired Fund shareholders will 
receive a number of full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to the value of the shares of the Acquired Fund 
that are surrendered in the exchange. In connection with the exchange, each Acquiring Fund will credit on its books an appropriate number of 
its shares to the account of each Acquired Fund shareholder, and the Acquired Fund will cancel on its books all its shares registered to the 
account of that shareholder. After the Effective Time, the Acquired Fund will be dissolved in accordance with applicable law. 

33



       The Plans may be amended, but no amendment may be made which in the opinion of the Board would materially adversely affect the 
interests of the shareholders of the Acquired Funds. The Board may abandon and terminate either or both of the Plans at any time before the 
Effective Time if it believes that consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan(s) would not be in the best interests of the 
shareholders of either of the Funds. 
 
       Under the Plan, the Acquired Fund will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with Proposals 3, 4, and 5. PMC 
will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees in connection with Proposals 1 and 2. 
 
       If the Plans are not consummated for any reason, the Board will consider other possible courses of action. 
 
Description of the Securities to Be Issued
 
       PVC is a Maryland corporation that is authorized to issue its shares of common stock in separate series and separate classes of series. 
Each of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds is a separate series of PVC, and the Class 1 and Class 2 shares of common stock of the Acquiring 
Fund to be issued in connection with the Reorganization represent interests in the assets belonging to that series and have identical dividend, 
liquidation and other rights, except that expenses allocated to a particular series or class are borne solely by that series or class and may cause 
differences in rights as described herein. Expenses related to the distribution of, and other identified expenses properly allocated to, the shares 
of a particular series or class are charged to, and borne solely by, that series or class, and the bearing of expenses by a particular series or 
class may be appropriately reflected in the net asset value attributable to, and the dividend and liquidation rights of, that series or class. 
 
       All shares of PVC have equal voting rights and are voted in the aggregate and not by separate series or class of shares except that shares 
are voted by series or class: (i) when expressly required by Maryland law or the 1940 Act and (ii) on any matter submitted to shareholders 
which the Board has determined affects the interests of only a particular series or class. 
 
       The share classes of the Acquired Fund have the same rights with respect to the Acquired Fund that the share classes of the Acquiring 
Fund have with respect to the Acquiring Fund. 
 
       Shares of all Funds, when issued, have no cumulative voting rights, are fully paid and non-assessable, have no preemptive or conversion 
rights and are freely transferable. Each fractional share has proportionately the same rights as are provided for a full share. 
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
       To be considered a tax-free “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a 
reorganization must exhibit a continuity of business enterprise. Because the Acquiring Fund will use a portion of the Acquired Fund’s assets 
in its business and will continue the Acquired Fund’s historic business, the combination of the Acquired Fund into the Acquiring Fund will 
exhibit a continuity of business enterprise. Therefore, the combination will be considered a tax-free “reorganization” under applicable 
provisions of the Code. In the opinion of tax counsel to PVC, no gain or loss will be recognized by either of the Funds or their shareholders in 
connection with the combination, the tax cost basis of the Acquiring Fund shares received by shareholders of the Acquired Fund will equal 
the tax cost basis of their shares in the Acquired Fund, and their holding periods for the Acquiring Fund shares will include their holding 
periods for the Acquired Fund shares. 
 
       Capital Loss Carryforward. As of December 31, 2009, the Acquired Funds had approximate accumulated capital loss carryforwards of 
$14,335,000 for Short-Term Bond Account, $23,747,000 for Government & High Quality Bond Account, $48,617,000 for MidCap Value 
Account II, $13,065,000 for MidCap Growth Account I, and $64,958,000 for International SmallCap Account. After the Reorganization, 
these losses will be available to the Acquiring Funds to offset their capital gains, although the amount of offsetting losses in any given year 
may be limited. As a result of this limitation, it is possible that an Acquiring Fund may not be able to use these losses as rapidly as its 
corresponding Acquired Fund might have, and part of these losses may not be useable at all. The ability of an Acquiring Fund to utilize the 
accumulated capital loss carryforward in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, including the 
existence of capital gains against which these losses may be offset. In addition, the benefits of any capital loss carryforward currently are 
available only to shareholders of the Acquired Fund. After the Reorganization, however, these benefits will inure to the benefit of all 
shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. 
 
       Distribution of Income and Gains. Prior to the Reorganization, each Acquired Fund, whose taxable year will end as a result of the 
Reorganization, will declare to its shareholders of record one or more distributions of all of its previously undistributed net investment 
income and net realized capital gain, including capital gains on any securities disposed of in connection with the Reorganization. Such 
distributions will be made to shareholders before the Reorganization. An Acquired Fund shareholder will be required to include any such 
distributions in such shareholder’s taxable income. This may result in the recognition of income that could have been deferred or might never 
have been realized had the Reorganization not occurred. 
 
       The foregoing is only a summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization and should not be considered 
to be tax advice. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will concur on all or any of the issues discussed above. You 
may wish to consult with your own tax advisors regarding the federal, state, and local tax consequences with respect to the foregoing matters 
and any other considerations which may apply in your particular circumstances.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
 
Certain Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Funds
 
       This section provides information about certain investment strategies and related risks of the Funds. The Statement of Additional 
Information contains additional information about investment strategies and their related risks. 
 
       Some of the principal investment risks vary between the Funds and the variations are described above. The value of each Fund’s 
securities may fluctuate on a daily basis. As with all mutual funds, as the values of each Fund’s assets rise or fall, the Fund’s share price 
changes. If an investor sells Fund shares when their value is less than the price the investor paid, the investor will lose money. As with any 
security, the securities in which the Funds invest have associated risk. 
 
       Market Volatility. The value of a fund’s portfolio securities may go down in response to overall stock or bond market movements. 
Markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up and down in value more than 
bonds. If the fund’s investments are concentrated in certain sectors, its performance could be worse than the overall market. The value of an 
individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value 
of the market as a whole. It is possible to lose money when investing in the fund. 
 
       Equity Securities. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts, rights (a right 
is an offering of common stock to investors who currently own shares which entitle them to buy subsequent issues at a discount from the 
offering price), and warrants (a warrant is a certificate granting its owner the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specified price, 
normally higher than the current market price). Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a 
corporation. The value of a company’s stock may fall as a result of factors directly relating to that company, such as decisions made by its 
management or lower demand for the company’s products or services. A stock’s value may also fall because of factors affecting not just the 
company, but also companies in the same industry or in a number of different industries, such as increases in production costs. The value of a 
company’s stock may also be affected by changes in financial markets that are relatively unrelated to the company or its industry, such as 
changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates. In addition, a company’s stock generally pays dividends only after the company invests 
in its own business and makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of a company’s stock will 
usually react more strongly than its bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. 
Stocks of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than those of larger companies. 

37



       Fixed-Income Securities. Fixed-income securities include bonds and other debt instruments that are used by issuers to borrow money 
from investors (some examples include investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government securities and asset- 
backed securities). The issuer generally pays the investor a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest. The amount borrowed must be repaid at 
maturity. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest, but are sold at a discount from their face values. 
 
       Interest Rate Changes. Fixed-income securities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In general, fixed-income security prices rise 
when interest rates fall and fall when interest rates rise. Longer term bonds and zero coupon bonds are generally more sensitive to interest 
rate changes. If interest rates fall, issuers of callable bonds may call (repay) securities with high interest rates before their maturity dates; this 
is known as call risk. In this case, a fund would likely reinvest the proceeds from these securities at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline 
in the fund's income. 
 
       Credit Risk. Fixed-income security prices are also affected by the credit quality of the issuer. Investment grade debt securities are 
medium and high quality securities. Some bonds, such as lower grade or “junk” bonds, may have speculative characteristics and may be 
particularly sensitive to economic conditions and the financial condition of the issuers. 
 
       Counterparty Risk. Each of the Funds is subject to the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security or other obligation, 
the counterparty to a derivatives contract or repurchase agreement, or the borrower of a portfolio’s securities will be unable or unwilling to 
make timely principal, interest, or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations. 
 
       Management Risk. The Funds are actively managed and prepared to invest in securities, sectors, or industries differently from the 
benchmark. For all Funds, if a sub-advisor's investment strategies do not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform other funds with 
similar investment objectives or lose money. 
 
       Liquidity Risk. A Fund is exposed to liquidity risk when trading volume, lack of a market maker, or legal restrictions impair the fund’s 
ability to sell particular securities or close derivative positions at an advantageous price. Funds with principal investment strategies that 
involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, foreign securities, derivatives, or securities with substantial market 
and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. 
 
       Repurchase Agreements. Although not a principal investment strategy, some Funds may invest a portion of its assets in repurchase 
agreements. Repurchase agreements typically involve the purchase of debt securities from a financial institution such as a bank, savings and 
loan association, or broker-dealer. A repurchase agreement provides that the Fund sells back to the seller and that the seller repurchases the 
underlying securities at a specified price on a specific date. Repurchase agreements may be viewed as loans by a Fund collateralized by the 
underlying securities. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuation while the Fund holds the 
security. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the affected Fund bears a risk of loss. To minimize such 
risks, the Fund enters into repurchase agreements only with parties a Sub-Advisor deems creditworthy (those that are large, well-capitalized 
and well-established financial institutions). In addition, the value of the securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement is, and during the 
entire term of the repurchase agreement remains, at least equal to the repurchase price, including accrued interest. 
 
       Bank Loans (also known as Senior Floating Rate Interests). Some of the Funds invest in bank loans. Bank loans hold the most senior 
position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the 
assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Bank loans are 
typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the bank loan. Bank loans 
are rated below-investment-grade, which means they are more likely to default than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non- 
payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the fund and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any 
collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such 
collateral could be readily liquidated. 
 
       Bank loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates 
are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the prime rate offered by 
one or more major United States banks. 
 
       Bank loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and 
because there may be significant economic incentives for the borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. 
 
       High Yield Securities. The Short-Term Bond Account may invest in debt securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings 
Services or Ba or lower by Moody’s or, if not rated, determined to be of equivalent quality by the Manager or the Sub- Advisor. Such 
securities are sometimes referred to as high yield or “junk bonds” and are considered speculative. 
 
       Investment in high yield bonds involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with investment in highly rated debt securities. 
High yield bonds may be regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest 
payments. Moreover, such securities may, under certain circumstances, be less liquid than higher rated debt securities. 
 
       Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high yield securities may be more complex than for issuers of higher quality debt 
securities. The ability of an Fund to achieve its investment objective may, to the extent of its investment in high yield bonds, be more 
dependent on such credit analysis than would be the case if the Fund were investing in higher quality bonds. 
 
       High yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher-grade 
bonds. The prices of high yield bonds have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than more highly rated investments, but 
more sensitive to adverse economic downturns or individual corporate developments. If the issuer of high yield bonds defaults, an Fund may 
incur additional expenses to seek recovery. 

38



       The secondary market on which high yield bonds are traded may be less liquid than the market for higher-grade bonds. Less liquidity in 
the secondary trading market could adversely affect the price at which an Fund could sell a high yield bond and could adversely affect and 
cause large fluctuations in the daily price of the Fund’s shares. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on 
fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of high yield bonds, especially in a thinly traded market. 
 
       The use of credit ratings for evaluating high yield bonds also involves certain risks. For example, credit ratings evaluate the safety of 
principal and interest payments, not the market value risk of high yield bonds. Also, credit rating agencies may fail to change credit ratings in 
a timely manner to reflect subsequent events. If a credit rating agency changes the rating of a portfolio security held by a Fund, the Fund may 
retain the security if the Manager or Sub-Advisor thinks it is in the best interest of shareholders. 
 
       Real Estate Investment Trusts. The Funds may invest in real estate investment trust securities, herein referred to as “REITs.” REITs 
involve certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general (such as possible declines 
in the value of real estate, lack of availability of mortgage funds, or extended vacancies of property). Equity REITs may be affected by 
changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit 
extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, risks of default 
by borrowers, and self-liquidation. As an investor in a REIT, the Fund will be subject to the REIT’s expenses, including management fees, 
and will remain subject to the Fund’s advisory fees with respect to the assets so invested. REITs are also subject to the possibilities of failing 
to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded REITs under the Internal Revenue Code, and failing to maintain their exemptions from 
registration under the 1940 Act. Investment in REITs involves risks similar to those associated with investing in small capitalization 
companies. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in a limited volume, and may be subject to more 
abrupt or erratic price movements than larger company securities. 
 
       Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”). Certain of the Funds may invest in IPOs. An IPO is a company’s first offering of stock to the 
public. IPO risk is that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, 
unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares 
may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. In addition, the market for IPO shares can be 
speculative and/or inactive for extended periods of time. The limited number of shares available for trading in some IPOs may make it more 
difficult for an Fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. Investors in IPO shares 
can be affected by substantial dilution in the value of their shares by sales of additional shares and by concentration of control in existing 
management and principal shareholders. 
 
       When the Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs 
because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in 
IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance. Because of the price volatility of IPO 
shares, an Fund may choose to hold IPO shares for a very short period of time. This may increase the turnover of the Fund’s portfolio and 
lead to increased expenses to the Fund, such as commissions and transaction costs. By selling IPO shares, the Fund may realize taxable gains 
it will subsequently distribute to shareholders. 
 
       Municipal Obligations and AMT-Subject Bonds. The two principal classifications of municipal bonds are “general obligation” and 
“revenue” bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith and credit, with either limited or unlimited 
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are not supported by the issuer’s full taxing authority. Generally, they 
are payable only from the revenues of a particular facility, a class of facilities, or the proceeds of another specific revenue source. 
 
       “AMT-subject bonds” are municipal obligations issued to finance certain “private activities,” such as bonds used to finance airports, 
housing projects, student loan programs, and water and sewer projects. Interest on AMT-subject bonds is an item of tax preference for 
purposes of the federal individual alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and will also give rise to corporate alternative minimum taxes. See “Tax 
Considerations” for a discussion of the tax consequences of investing in the Funds. 
 
       Current federal income tax laws limit the types and volume of bonds qualifying for the federal income tax exemption of interest, which 
may have an effect upon the ability of the Fund to purchase sufficient amounts of tax-exempt securities. 
 
       Derivatives. To the extent permitted by its investment objectives and policies, each of the Funds may invest in securities that are 
commonly referred to as derivative securities. Generally, a derivative is a financial arrangement, the value of which is derived from, or based 
on, a traditional security, asset, or market index. Certain derivative securities are described more accurately as index/structured securities. 
Index/structured securities are derivative securities whose value or performance is linked to other equity securities (such as depositary 
receipts), currencies, interest rates, indices, or other financial indicators (reference indices). 
 
       Some derivatives, such as mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, are in many respects like any other investment, although 
they may be more volatile or less liquid than more traditional debt securities. 
 
       There are many different types of derivatives and many different ways to use them. Futures, forward contracts, and options are 
commonly used for traditional hedging purposes to attempt to protect a Fund from exposure to changing interest rates, securities prices, or 
currency exchange rates and for cash management purposes as a low-cost method of gaining exposure to a particular securities market 
without investing directly in those securities. The Funds may enter into put or call options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, 
over-the-counter swap contracts (e.g., interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps), currency futures contracts and options, 
options on currencies, and forward currency contracts for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. A forward currency contract involves a 
privately negotiated obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set in the contract. A Fund will not hedge 
currency exposure to an extent greater than the approximate aggregate market value of the securities held or to be purchased by the Fund 

39



(denominated or generally quoted or currently convertible into the currency). The Funds may enter into forward commitment agreements (not 
as a principal investment strategy), which call for the Fund to purchase or sell a security on a future date at a fixed price. Each of the Funds 
may also enter into contracts to sell its investments either on demand or at a specific interval. 
 
  Generally, no Fund may invest in a derivative security unless the reference index or the instrument to which it relates is an eligible 
investment for the Fund or the reference currency relates to an eligible investment for the Fund. 
 
  The return on a derivative security may increase or decrease, depending upon changes in the reference index or instrument to which it 
relates. If a Fund’s Sub-Advisor hedges market conditions incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the Fund’s 
investment, these techniques could result in a loss. These techniques may increase the volatility of an Fund and may involve a small 
investment of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. The risks associated with derivative investments include: 
  the risk that the underlying security, interest rate, market index, or other financial asset will not move in the direction the Manager or 
  Sub-Advisor anticipated; 
  the possibility that there may be no liquid secondary market which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when 
  desired; 
  the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than an Fund’s initial investment; and 
  the possibility that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations. 
 
  For currency contracts, there is also a risk of government action through exchange controls that would restrict the ability of the Fund to 
deliver or receive currency. 
 
  Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). These are a type of index or actively managed fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An 
ETF trades like common stock. Shares in an index ETF represent an interest in a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track a particular 
market index. An Fund could purchase shares issued by an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market 
while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities 
they are designed to track, although ETFs have management fees that increase their costs. Fund shareholders indirectly bear their 
proportionate share of the expenses of the ETFs in which the fund invests. 
 
  Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are fixed-income securities that an Fund has the right to exchange for equity securities at 
a specified conversion price. The option allows the Fund to realize additional returns if the market price of the equity securities exceeds the 
conversion price. For example, the Fund may hold fixed-income securities that are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion 
price of $10 per share. If the market value of the shares of common stock reached $12, the Fund could realize an additional $2 per share by 
converting its fixed-income securities. 
 
  Convertible securities have lower yields than comparable fixed-income securities. In addition, at the time a convertible security is 
issued, the conversion price exceeds the market value of the underlying equity securities. Thus, convertible securities may provide lower 
returns than non-convertible fixed-income securities or equity securities depending upon changes in the price of the underlying equity 
securities. However, convertible securities permit the Fund to realize some of the potential appreciation of the underlying equity securities 
with less risk of losing its initial investment. 
 
  A Fund treats convertible securities as both fixed-income and equity securities for purposes of investment policies and limitations 
because of their unique characteristics. An Fund may invest in convertible securities without regard to their ratings. 
 
  Foreign Investing. As a principal investment strategy, the Diversified International Account and the International SmallCap Accounts 
may invest in securities of foreign companies. The other Funds (except the Mortgage Securities Account) may invest in securities of foreign 
companies but not as a principal investment strategy. For the purpose of this restriction, foreign companies are: 
  companies with their principal place of business or principal office outside the U.S. or 
  companies for which the principal securities trading market is outside the U.S. 
 
  Foreign companies may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices as are required of U.S. 
companies. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company. Securities of 
many foreign companies are less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Commissions on foreign securities 
exchanges may be generally higher than those on U.S. exchanges. 
 
  Foreign markets also have different clearance and settlement procedures than those in U.S. markets. In certain markets there have been 
times when settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions, making it difficult to conduct these 
transactions. Delays in settlement could result in temporary periods when a portion of Fund assets is not invested and earning no return. If an 
Fund is unable to make intended security purchases due to settlement problems, the Fund may miss attractive investment opportunities. In 
addition, an Fund may incur a loss as a result of a decline in the value of its portfolio if it is unable to sell a security. 
 
  With respect to certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, 
or diplomatic developments that could affect an Fund’s investments in those countries. In addition, an Fund may also suffer losses due to 
nationalization, expropriation or differing accounting practices and treatments. Investments in foreign securities are subject to laws of the 
foreign country that may limit the amount and types of foreign investments. Changes of governments or of economic or monetary policies, in 
the U.S. or abroad, changes in dealings between nations, currency convertibility or exchange rates could result in investment losses for a 
Fund. Finally, even though certain currencies may be convertible into U.S. dollars, the conversion rates may be artificial relative to the actual 
market values and may be unfavorable to Fund investors. To protect against future uncertainties in foreign currency exchange rates, the 
Funds are authorized to enter into certain foreign currency exchange transactions. 

40



  Foreign securities are often traded with less frequency and volume, and therefore may have greater price volatility, than is the case with 
many U.S. securities. Brokerage commissions, custodial services, and other costs relating to investment in foreign countries are generally 
more expensive than in the U.S. Though the Funds intend to acquire the securities of foreign issuers where there are public trading markets, 
economic or political turmoil in a country in which a Fund has a significant portion of its assets or deterioration of the relationship between 
the U.S. and a foreign country may negatively impact the liquidity of an Fund’s portfolio. An Fund may have difficulty meeting a large 
number of redemption requests. Furthermore, there may be difficulties in obtaining or enforcing judgments against foreign issuers. 
 
  A Fund may choose to invest in a foreign company by purchasing depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are certificates of ownership 
of shares in a foreign-based issuer held by a bank or other financial institution. They are alternatives to purchasing the underlying security but 
are subject to the foreign securities to which they relate. Investments in companies of developing (also called “emerging”) countries are 
subject to higher risks than investments in companies in more developed countries. These risks include: 
  increased social, political, and economic instability; 
  a smaller market for these securities and low or nonexistent volume of trading that results in a lack of liquidity and in greater price 
  volatility; 
  lack of publicly available information, including reports of payments of dividends or interest on outstanding securities; 
  foreign government policies that may restrict opportunities, including restrictions on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive 
  to national interests; 
  relatively new capital market structure or market-oriented economy; 
  the possibility that recent favorable economic developments may be slowed or reversed by unanticipated political or social events in 
  these countries; 
  restrictions that may make it difficult or impossible for the Fund to vote proxies, exercise shareholder rights, pursue legal remedies, and 
  obtain judgments in foreign courts; and 
  possible losses through the holding of securities in domestic and foreign custodial banks and depositories. 
 
  In addition, many developing countries have experienced substantial and, in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many 
years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities 
markets of those countries. 
 
  Repatriation of investment income, capital and proceeds of sales by foreign investors may require governmental registration and/or 
approval in some developing countries. An Fund could be adversely affected by delays in or a refusal to grant any required governmental 
registration or approval for repatriation. 
 
  Further, the economies of developing countries generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been 
and may continue to be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other 
protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. 
 
  Small and Medium Capitalization Companies. The Funds (except the Short-Term Bond Account) may invest in securities of 
companies with small- or mid-sized market capitalizations. Market capitalization is defined as total current market value of a company’s 
outstanding common stock. Investments in companies with smaller market capitalizations may involve greater risks and price volatility 
(wide, rapid fluctuations) than investments in larger, more mature companies. Small companies may be less significant within their industries 
and may be at a competitive disadvantage relative to their larger competitors. While smaller companies may be subject to these additional 
risks, they may also realize more substantial growth than larger or more established companies. 
 
  Smaller companies may be less mature than larger companies. At this earlier stage of development, the companies may have limited 
product lines, reduced market liquidity for their shares, limited financial resources, or less depth in management than larger or more 
established companies. Unseasoned issuers are companies with a record of less than three years of continuous operation, including the 
operation of predecessors and parents. Unseasoned issuers by their nature have only a limited operating history that can be used for 
evaluating the company’s growth prospects. As a result, these securities may place a greater emphasis on current or planned product lines and 
the reputation and experience of the company’s management and less emphasis on fundamental valuation factors than would be the case for 
more mature growth companies. 
 
  Temporary Defensive Measures. From time to time, as part of its investment strategy, each Fund may invest without limit in cash and 
cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic, or political conditions. To the extent that the 
Fund is in a defensive position, it may lose the benefit of upswings and limit its ability to meet its investment objective. For this purpose, 
cash equivalents include: bank notes, bank certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and 
commercial paper master notes which are floating rate debt instruments without a fixed maturity. In addition, an Fund may purchase U.S. 
government securities, preferred stocks and debt securities, whether or not convertible into or carrying rights for common stock. 
 
  Risk of Being an Underlying Fund. Some of the Funds are underlying funds to certain fund of funds. An underlying fund may 
experience relatively large redemptions or investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These 
transactions may accelerate the realization of taxable income if sales of portfolio securities result in gains, and could increase transaction 
costs. In addition, when a fund of funds reallocates or redeems significant assets away from an underlying fund, the loss of assets to the 
underlying fund could result in increased expense ratios for that fund. Principal and the Sub-Advisors for the funds of funds are committed to 
minimizing the potential impact of underlying fund risk on underlying funds to the extent consistent with pursuing the investment objectives 
of the fund of funds which it manages.

       The following tables show the percentage of the outstanding shares of the Acquiring Funds owned by the Strategic Asset Management 
Portfolios as of December 31, 2009:           
    Conservative  Conservative  Flexible  Strategic 
  Balanced  Balanced  Growth  Income  Growth 
  Portfolio  Portfolio  Portfolio  Portfolio  Portfolio 
Diversified International Account  14.55%  1.99%  5.07%  1.36%  3.47% 
MidCap Blend Account  7.48%  1.15%  2.99%  1.06%  2.01% 
Mortgage Securities Account  48.10%  15.77%  4.95%  19.54%  -- 
Short-Term Income Account  21.42%  11.98%  1.52%  20.85%  0.51% 
 
         Securities Lending Risk. To earn additional income, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to approved financial institutions. Risks of 
such a practice include the possibility that a financial institution becomes insolvent, increasing the likelihood that the Fund will be unable to 
recover the loaned security or its value. Further, the cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with such a loan may be invested in a 
security that subsequently loses value.           
         Portfolio Turnover. “Portfolio Turnover” is the term used in the industry for measuring the amount of trading that occurs in an Fund’s 
portfolio during the year. For example, a 100% turnover rate means that on average every security in the portfolio has been replaced once 
during the year. Funds that engage in active trading may have high portfolio turnover rates.     
       Funds with high turnover rates (more than 100%) often have higher transaction costs (which are paid by the Fund) and may lower the 
Fund’s performance. Turnover rates for each of the other Funds may be found in the Fund’s Financial Highlights table.   
       Please consider all the factors when you compare the turnover rates of different funds. A Fund with consistently higher total returns and 
higher turnover rates than another fund may actually be achieving better performance precisely because the managers are active traders. You 
should also be aware that the “total return” line in the Financial Highlights section reflects portfolio turnover costs.   
Multiple Classes of Shares
       The Board of Directors of PVC has adopted an 18f-3 Plan for each of the Funds. Under these plans, the Short-Term Bond Account, 
Government & High Quality Bond Account, MidCap Value Account II, and MidCap Growth Account currently offer Class 1 shares. The 
Short-Term Income Account, Mortgage Securities Account, and the MidCap Blend Account currently offer Class 1 and Class 2 shares. The 
shares are the same except for differences in class expenses, including any Rule 12b-1 fees and any applicable sales charges, excessive 
trading and other fees. Additional share classes may be offered in the future by the Acquiring Fund.     
                                                       Distribution Plan and Additional Information Regarding Intermediary Compensation   
       The Fund has adopted a 12b-1 Plan for the Accounts. Under the 12b-1 Plan, each Account may make payments from its assets 
attributable to the Class 2 shares to the Fund’s Distributor for distribution-related expenses and for providing services to shareholders of that 
share class. Payments under the 12b- 1 plans will not automatically terminate for the Accounts that are closed to new investors or to 
additional purchases by existing shareholders. The Fund Board will determine whether to terminate, modify, or leave unchanged the 12b-1 
plan at the time the Board directs the implementation of the closure of the Account. Because Rule 12b-1 fees are ongoing fees, over time they 
will increase the cost of an investment in the Accounts and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges. The maximum 
annualized Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fee (as a percentage of average daily net assets) for the Class 2 shares of each of the 
Accounts is 0.25%.           
         Payments to Financial Professionals and Their Firms. Financial intermediaries receive compensation from the Distributor and its 
affiliates for marketing, selling, and/or providing services to variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts that invest in the 
Accounts. Financial intermediaries also receive compensation for marketing, selling, and/or providing services to certain retirement plans that 
offer the Accounts as investment options. Financial intermediaries may include, among others, broker/dealers, registered investment advisors, 
banks, trust companies, pension plan consultants, retirement plan administrators, and insurance companies. Financial Professionals who deal 
with investors on an individual basis are typically associated with a financial intermediary. The Distributor and its affiliates may fund this 
compensation from various sources, including any Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that the Accounts pay to the Distributor. Individual Financial 
Professionals may receive some or all of the amounts paid to the financial intermediary with which he or she is associated.   
         Ongoing Payments. In the case of Class 2 shares, and pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Plan applicable to the Class 2 shares, the Distributor 
generally makes ongoing payments to your financial intermediary for services provided to you at an annual rate of 0.25% of average net 
assets attributable to your indirect investment in the Accounts. In addition, the Distributor or the Advisor may make from its own resources 
ongoing payments to an insurance company of up to 0.25% of the average net assets of the Accounts held by the insurance company in its 
separate accounts. The payments are for administrative services and may be made with respect to either or both classes of shares of the 
Accounts.           
         Other Payments to Intermediaries. In addition to any commissions that may be paid at the time of sale, ongoing payments and the 
reimbursement of costs associated with education, training, and marketing efforts, conferences, seminars, due diligence trip expenses, ticket 
charges, and other general marketing expenses, some or all of which may be paid to financial intermediaries (and, in turn, to your Financial 
Professional), the Distributor and its affiliates, at their expense, currently provide additional payments to financial intermediaries that sell 
variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts that may be funded by shares of the Accounts, or may sell shares of the Accounts to 
retirement plans for distribution services. Although payments made to each qualifying financial intermediary in any given year may vary, 
such payments will generally not exceed 0.25% of the current year’s sales of applicable variable annuities and variable life insurance 
contracts that may be funded by account shares, or 0.25% of the current year’s sales of Account shares to retirement plans by that financial 
intermediary.           

42



         A number of factors are considered in determining the amount of these additional payments, including each financial intermediary’s 
Fund sales, assets, and redemption rates of applicable variable annuities, variable life insurance contracts, and retirement plans as well as the 
willingness and ability of the financial intermediary to give the Distributor access to its Financial Professionals for educational and marketing 
purposes. In some cases, financial intermediaries will include applicable variable annuities, variable life insurance contracts, and Account 
shares in retirement plans on a “preferred list.” The Distributor’s goals include making the Financial Professionals who interact with current 
and prospective investors and shareholders more knowledgeable about the Accounts so that they can provide suitable information and advice 
about the Accounts and related investor services. Additionally, the Distributor may provide payments to reimburse directly or indirectly the 
costs incurred by these financial intermediaries and their associated Financial Professionals in connection with educational seminars and 
training and marketing efforts related to Accounts for the firms’ employees and/or their clients and potential clients. The costs and expenses 
associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. The Distributor may also provide payment or 
reimbursement for expenses associated with qualifying dealers’ conferences, ticket charges, and general marketing expenses. 
 
         In December 2006, Principal purchased Edge Asset Management, Inc. (formerly known as WM Advisors, Inc.) and its two subsidiaries, 
Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. (formerly known as WM Funds Distributor, Inc.) and Principal Shareholder Services, Inc. (formerly known 
as WM Shareholder Services, Inc.) from New American Capital, Inc. (“New American”) and its parent company Washington Mutual, Inc. 
(“WaMu”) (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, New American agreed to make payments to Principal with respect to 
each of the first four years following the closing of the Transaction. New American must make such payments to Principal if the aggregate 
fees Principal and its affiliates earn from Principal-sponsored mutual funds and other financial instruments such as annuities (the “Principal 
Products”) that WaMu and its affiliates (including WaMu Investments, a broker-dealer subsidiary of WaMu) sell fall below certain specified 
amounts during any of the four years following the closing of the Transaction. The agreement between Principal and New American could 
result in New American paying Principal a maximum of $30 million with respect to each year in the four-year period. As a result, WaMu 
Investments (and/or its affiliates) will have an additional incentive to sell Principal Products following the closing of the Transaction. 
 
         If one mutual fund sponsor makes greater distribution assistance payments than another, your Financial Professional and his or her 
financial intermediary may have an incentive to recommend one variable annuity, variable life insurance policy or mutual fund over another. 
 
         Please speak with your Financial Professional to learn more about the total amounts paid to your Financial Professional and his or her 
financial intermediary by the Accounts, the Distributor and its affiliates, and by sponsors of other mutual funds he or she may recommend to 
you. You should also carefully review disclosures made by your Financial Professional at the time of purchase. 
 
         Although an Account’s sub-advisor may use brokers who sell shares of the Accounts to effect portfolio transactions, the sale of Account 
shares is not considered as a factor when selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions. The Fund has adopted procedures to ensure that the 
sale of account shares is not considered when selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions. Your Contract or retirement plan may impose 
other charges and expenses, some of which may also be used in connection with the sale of such contracts in addition to those described in 
this Prospectus. The amount and applicability of any such fee are determined and disclosed separately within the prospectus for your 
insurance contract. Your financial intermediary may charge fees and commissions, including processing fees, in addition to those described 
in this prospectus. The amount and applicability of any such fee are determined and disclosed separately by the financial intermediary. You 
should ask your Financial Professional for information about any fees and/or commissions that are charged. 
 
         The Accounts earn dividends, interest, and other income from investments and distribute this income (less expenses) as dividends. The 
Accounts also realize capital gains from investments and distribute these gains (less any losses) as capital gain distributions. The Accounts 
normally make dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in June. Dividends and capital gain distributions are automatically 
reinvested in additional shares of the Account making the distribution. 
 
  Dividends and Distributions 
 
         The Accounts earn dividends, interest, and other income from investments and distribute this income (less expenses) as dividends. The 
Accounts also realize capital gains from investments and distribute these gains (less any losses) as capital gain distributions. The Accounts 
normally make dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in June. Dividends and capital gain distributions are automatically 
reinvested in additional shares of the Account making the distribution. 
 
  Pricing of Fund Shares 
 
         Each Fund’s shares are bought and sold at the current net asset value (“NAV”) per share. Each Fund’s NAV is calculated each day the 
New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open (shares are not priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading). The NYSE is 
closed on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday/Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, 
Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas. The NAV is determined at the close of business of the 
NYSE (normally 3:00 p.m. Central Time). When an order to buy or sell shares is received, the share price used to fill the order is the next 
price calculated after the order is received in proper form. 
 
         For these Funds, the NAV is calculated by: 
           taking the current market value of the total assets of the Fund 
           subtracting liabilities of the Fund 
           dividing the remainder proportionately into the classes of the Fund 
           subtracting the liabilities of each class 
           dividing the remainder by the total number of shares owned in that class. 

43



NOTES:   
           If market quotations are not readily available for a security owned by an Fund, its fair value is determined using a policy adopted 
  by the Directors. 
           An Fund’s securities may be traded on foreign securities markets that generally complete trading at various times during the day 
  prior to the close of the NYSE. Generally, the values of foreign securities used in computing an Fund’s NAV are the market 
  quotations as of the close of the foreign market. Foreign securities and currencies are also converted to U.S. dollars using the 
  exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign securities occur when the 
  foreign market is closed and the NYSE is open. The Fund has adopted policies and procedures to “fair value” some or all securities 
  held by an Fund if significant events occur after the close of the market on which the foreign securities are traded but before the 
  Fund’s NAV is calculated. Significant events can be specific to a single security or can include events that affect a particular 
  foreign market or markets. A significant event can also include a general market movement in the U.S. securities markets. If 
  Principal believes that the market value of any or all of the foreign securities is materially affected by such an event, the securities 
  will be valued, and the Fund’s NAV will be calculated, using the policy adopted by the Fund. These fair valuation procedures are 
  intended to discourage shareholders from investing in the Fund for the purpose of engaging in market timing or arbitrage 
  transactions. The trading of foreign securities generally or in a particular country or countries may not take place on all days the 
  NYSE is open, or may trade on days the NYSE is closed. Thus, the value of the foreign securities held by the Fund may change on 
  days when shareholders are unable to purchase or redeem shares. 
           Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any point in time. 
  These may be referred to as local price and premium price. The premium price is often a negotiated price that may not consistently 
  represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. The Fund has a policy to value such securities at a price at which 
  the Sub-Advisor expects the securities may be sold. 
 
Frequent Trading and Market Timing (Abusive Trading Practices) 
         The Funds are not designed for, and do not knowingly accommodate, frequent purchases and redemptions (“excessive trading”) of Fund 
shares by investors. If you intend to trade frequently and/or use market timing investment strategies, do not purchase shares of these Funds. 
 
         Frequent purchases and redemptions pose a risk to the Funds because they may: 
           disrupt the management of the Funds by: 
           forcing the Fund to hold short-term (liquid) assets rather than investing for long-term growth, which results in lost investment 
  opportunities for the Fund and 
           causing unplanned portfolio turnover; 
           hurt the portfolio performance of the Fund; and 
           increase expenses of the Fund due to: 
           increased broker-dealer commissions and 
           increased recordkeeping and related costs. 
 
         If we are not able to identify such excessive trading practices, the Funds may be negatively impacted and may cause investors to suffer 
the harms described. The potential negative impact and harms of undetected excessive trading in shares of the underlying Funds in which the 
Principal LifeTime Accounts or Strategic Asset Management Portfolios invest could flow through to the Principal LifeTime Accounts and 
Strategic Asset Management Portfolios as they would for any fund shareholder. 
 
         Certain Funds may be at greater risk of harm due to frequent purchase and redemptions. For example, those Funds that invest in foreign 
securities may appeal to investors attempting to take advantage of time-zone arbitrage. This risk is particularly relevant to the Diversified 
International and International SmallCap Accounts. The Fund has adopted fair valuation procedures to be used in the case of significant 
events, including broad market movements, occurring after the close of a foreign market in which securities are traded. The procedures will 
be followed if the Manager believes the events will impact the value of the foreign securities. These procedures are intended to discourage 
market timing transactions in shares of the Funds. 
 
         As the Funds are only available through variable annuity or variable life contracts or to qualified retirement plans, the Fund must rely on 
the insurance company that issues the contract, or the trustees or administrators of qualified retirement plans, (“intermediary”) to monitor 
customer trading activity to identify and take action against excessive trading. There can be no certainty that the intermediary will identify 
and prevent excessive trading in all instances. When an intermediary identifies excessive trading, it will act to curtail such trading in a fair 
and uniform manner. If an intermediary is unable to identify such abusive trading practices, the abuses described above may negatively 
impact the Funds. 
 
         If an intermediary, or the Fund, deems excessive trading practices to be occurring, it will take action that may include, but is not limited 
to:   
           Rejecting exchange instructions from a shareholder or other person authorized by the shareholder to direct exchanges; 
           Restricting submission of exchange requests by, for example, allowing exchange requests to be submitted by 1st class U.S. mail 
  only and disallowing requests made via the internet, by facsimile, by overnight courier, or by telephone; 
           Limiting the dollar amount of an exchange and/or the number of exchanges during a year; 
           Requiring a holding period of a minimum of 30 days before permitting exchanges among the Funds where there is evidence of at 
  least one round-trip exchange (exchange or redemption of shares that were purchased within 30 days of the exchange/redemption); 
  and 
           Taking such other action as directed by the Fund. 

44



         The Fund Board of Directors has found the imposition of a redemption fee with respect to redemptions from Class 1 and Class 2 shares 
of the Funds is neither necessary nor appropriate in light of measures taken by intermediaries through which such shares are currently 
available. Each intermediary’s excessive trading policies and procedures will be reviewed by Fund management prior to making shares of the 
Fund available through such intermediary to determine whether, in management’s opinion, such procedures are reasonably designed to 
prevent excessive trading in Fund shares. 
 
         The Fund has reserved the right to accept or reject, without prior written notice, any exchange requests. In some instances, an exchange 
may be completed prior to a determination of abusive trading. In those instances, the intermediary will reverse an exchange (within one 
business day of the exchange) and return the account holdings to the positions held prior to the exchange. The intermediary will give you 
notice in writing in this instance. 
 
Eligible Purchasers 
 
         Only certain eligible purchasers may buy shares of the Funds. Eligible purchasers are limited to 1) separate accounts of Principal Life or 
of other insurance companies, 2) Principal Life or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, 3) trustees of other managers of any qualified profit 
sharing, incentive, or bonus plan established by Principal Life or Washington Mutual Life Insurance Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate 
of such company, for employees of such company, subsidiary, or affiliate. Such trustees or managers may buy Fund shares only in their 
capacities as trustees or managers and not for their personal accounts. The Board of Directors of the Fund reserves the right to broaden or 
limit the designation of eligible purchaser. 
 
         Each Fund serves as the underlying investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies that are funded 
through separate accounts established by Principal Life and by other insurance companies as well as for certain qualified plans. It is possible 
that in the future, it may not be advantageous for variable life insurance separate accounts, variable annuity separate accounts, and qualified 
plan investors to invest in the Funds at the same time. Although neither Principal Life nor the Fund currently foresees any such disadvantage, 
the Fund’s Board of Directors monitors events in order to identify any material conflicts between such policy owners, contract holders, and 
qualified plan investors. Material conflict could result from, for example, 1) changes in state insurance laws, 2) changes in Federal income 
tax law, 3) changes in the investment management of an Fund, or 4) differences in voting instructions between those given by policy owners, 
those given by contract holders, and those given by qualified plan investors. Should it be necessary, the Board would determine what action, 
if any, should be taken. Such action could include the sale of Fund shares by one or more of the separate accounts or qualified plans, which 
could have adverse consequences. 
 
         Principal may recommend to the Board, and the Board may elect, to close certain accounts to new investors or close certain accounts to 
new and existing investors. 
 
Shareholder Rights 
 
         Each shareholder of an Fund is eligible to vote, either in person or by proxy, at all shareholder meetings for that Fund. This includes the 
right to vote on the election of directors, selection of independent auditors, and other matters submitted to meetings of shareholders of the 
Fund. Each share has equal rights with every other share of the Fund as to dividends, earnings, voting, assets, and redemption. Shares are 
fully paid, non-assessable, and have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares of an Fund are issued as full or fractional shares. Each 
fractional share has proportionately the same rights including voting as are provided for a full share. Shareholders of the Fund may remove 
any director with or without cause by the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of all Fund shareholders. 
 
         The bylaws of the Fund also provide that the Fund does not need to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless one of the following 
is required to be acted upon by shareholders under the 1940 Act: election of directors, approval of an investment advisory agreement, 
ratification of the selection of independent auditors, and approval of the distribution agreement. The Fund intends to hold shareholder 
meetings only when required by law and at such other times when the Board of Directors deems it to be appropriate. 
 
         Shareholder inquiries should be directed to: Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., Principal Financial Group, Des Moines, IA 50392. 
 
         Principal Life votes each Fund’s shares allocated to each of its separate accounts registered under the 1940 Act and attributable to 
variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies participating in the separate accounts. The shares are voted in accordance with 
instructions received from contract holders, policy owners, participants, and annuitants. Other shares of each Fund held by each separate 
account, including shares for which no timely voting instructions are received, are voted in proportion to the instructions that are received 
with respect to contracts or policies participating in that separate account. Principal Life will vote the shares based upon the instructions 
received from contract owners regardless of the number of contract owners who provide such instructions. A potential effect of this 
proportional voting is that a small number of contract owners may determine the outcome of a shareholder vote if only a small number of 
contract owners provide voting instructions. Shares of each of the Funds held in the general account of Principal Life or in the unregistered 
separate accounts are voted in proportion to the instructions that are received with respect to contracts and policies participating in its 
registered and unregistered separate accounts. If Principal Life determines, under applicable law, that an Fund’s shares held in one or more 
separate accounts or in its general account need not be voted according to the instructions that are received, it may vote those Fund shares in 
its own right. Shares held by retirement plans are voted in accordance with the governing documents of the plans.

Purchase of Fund Shares 
 
         Shares are purchased from the Distributor, the Fund’s principal underwriter (“Distributor”). There are no sales charges on shares of the 
Funds, however, your variable contract may impose a charge. There are no restrictions on amounts to be invested in shares of the Funds. 
 
         The Funds may, at their discretion and under certain limited circumstances, accept securities as payment for Fund shares at the 
applicable NAV. Each Fund will value securities used to purchase its shares using the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio 
securities as described in this prospectus. 
 
         Shareholder accounts for each Fund are maintained under an open account system. Under this system, an account is opened and 
maintained for each investor. Each investment is confirmed by sending the investor a statement of account showing the current purchase and 
the total number of shares owned. The statement of account is treated by each Fund as evidence of ownership of Fund shares. Share 
certificates are not issued. 
 
Sale of Fund Shares 
 
         This section applies to eligible purchasers other than the separate accounts of Principal Life and its subsidiaries. 
 
         Each Fund sells its shares upon request. There is no charge for the sale. A shareholder sends a written request to the Fund requesting the 
sale of any part or all of the shares. The letter must be signed exactly as the account is registered. If payment is to be made to the registered 
shareholder or joint shareholder, the Fund does not require a signature guarantee. If payment is to be made to another party, the shareholder’s 
signature(s) must be guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company, credit union, savings and loan association, national securities 
exchange member, or brokerage firm. Shares are redeemed at the net asset value per share next computed after the request is received by the 
Fund in proper and complete form. 
 
         Sale proceeds are generally sent within three business days after the request is received in proper form. However, the right to sell shares 
may be suspended during any period when 1) trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or when the NYSE is closed for 
reasons other than weekends and holidays or 2) an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which a) disposal by a fund of 
securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, b) it is not reasonably practicable for a fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets, 
or c) the SEC permits suspension for the protection of security holders. 
 
         If payments are delayed and the instruction is not canceled by the shareholder’s written instruction, the amount of the transaction is 
determined as of the first valuation date following the expiration of the permitted delay. The transaction occurs within five days thereafter. 
 
         In addition, payments on surrenders attributable to a premium payment made by check may be delayed up to 15 days. This permits 
payment to be collected on the check. 
 
         Distributions in Kind. The Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the remaining shareholders of an Fund to make 
payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. Under certain circumstances, therefore, each of the accounts may pay the redemption 
proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution “in kind” of securities from the Fund’s portfolio in lieu of cash provided the shareholder to 
whom such distribution is made was invested in such securities. If an Fund pays the redemption proceeds in kind, the redeeming shareholder 
might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash. Each Fund will value securities used to pay redemptions in kind using 
the same method the Fund uses to value its portfolio securities as described in this prospectus. 
 
Restricted Transfers 
 
         Shares of each of the Funds may be transferred to an eligible purchaser. However, if an Fund is requested to transfer shares to other than 
an eligible purchaser, the Fund has the right, at its election, to purchase the shares at the net asset value next calculated after the receipt of the 
transfer request. However, the Fund must give written notification to the transferee(s) of the shares of the election to buy the shares within 
seven days of the request. Settlement for the shares shall be made within the seven-day period. 
 
Financial Statements 
 
         You will receive an annual financial statement for the Fund, audited by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst 
& Young LLP. You will also receive a semiannual financial statement that is unaudited. 
 
Tax Considerations
 
         The Fund intends to comply with applicable variable asset diversification regulations. If the Fund fails to comply with such regulations, 
contracts invested in the Fund will not be treated as annuity, endowment, or life insurance contracts under the Internal Revenue Code. 
 
         Contract owners should review the applicable contract prospectus for information concerning the federal income tax treatment of their 
contracts and distributions from the Fund to the separate accounts. 
 
         Contract owners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the status of their contracts under state and local tax laws. 
 
Portfolio Holdings Information
 
       A description of the PVC’s policies and procedures with respect to disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the 
Statement of Additional Information.

VOTING INFORMATION
 
         Voting procedures. PVC is furnishing this Proxy Statement/Prospectus to you in connection with the solicitation on behalf of the Board 
of proxies to be used at the Meeting. The Board is asking permission to vote for you. If you complete and return the enclosed proxy ballot, 
the persons named as proxies will vote your shares as you indicate or for approval of each matter for which there is no indication. You may 
revoke your proxy at any time prior to the proxy's exercise by: (i) sending written notice to the Secretary of Principal Variable Contracts 
Funds, Inc. at Principal Financial Group, Des Moines, Iowa 50392-2080, prior to the Meeting; (ii) subsequent execution and return of another 
proxy prior to the Meeting; or (iii) being present and voting in person at the Meeting after giving oral notice of the revocation to the 
Chairman of the Meeting. 
 
       Voting rights. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 2010 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote. You are 
entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders of an Acquired Fund for each share of that Acquired Fund that you hold, 
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Each Proposal requires for approval the affirmative vote of a "Majority of the Outstanding 
Voting Securities," which is a term defined in the 1940 Act to mean, with respect to an Acquired Fund, the affirmative vote of the lesser of 
(1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Acquired Fund present at the meeting of the Fund, if the holders of more than 50% of the 
outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the 
Acquired Fund. 
 
       The number of votes eligible to be cast at the Meeting as of the Record Date and other share ownership information are set forth below 
under the heading "Outstanding Shares and Share Ownership" in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. 
 
       Quorum requirements. A quorum must be present at the Meeting for the transaction of business. The presence in person or by proxy of 
one-third of the shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date constitutes a quorum for a Meeting, and 
shares subject to Mirror Voting (as defined below) are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions are counted toward a 
quorum but do not represent votes cast for any issue. Under the 1940 Act, the affirmative vote necessary to approve a proposal may be 
determined with reference to a percentage of votes present at the Meeting, which would have the effect of counting abstentions as if they 
were votes against a Proposal. 
 
       In the event the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained at the Meeting, the 
persons named as proxies or any shareholder present at the Meeting may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting in accordance 
with applicable law to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment as to a proposal or any other matter will require the 
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the affected Acquired Fund cast at the Meeting. The persons named as proxies 
and any shareholder present at the Meeting will vote for or against any adjournment in their discretion. 
 
       Contract Owner Voting Instructions. Shares of PVC Funds are sold to Separate Accounts of Insurance Companies and are used to 
fund Contracts. Each Contract Owner whose Contract is funded by a registered Separate Account is entitled to instruct your Insurance 
Company as to how to vote the shares attributable to his or her Contract and can do so by marking voting instructions on the voting 
instruction card enclosed with this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and then signing, dating and mailing the voting instruction card in the 
envelope provided. If a card is not marked to indicate voting instructions, but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction 
to vote the shares in favor of the Proposal. Your Insurance Company will vote the shares for which it receives timely voting instructions from 
Contract Owners in accordance with those instructions and will vote those shares for which it receives no timely voting instructions for and 
against approval of a proposal, and as an abstention, in the same proportion as the shares for which it receives voting instructions. Shares 
attributable to amounts invested by your Insurance Company will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast by Contract Owners ("Mirror 
Voting"). Accordingly, there are not expected to be any "broker non-votes."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 
       The financial highlights table for each of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds is intended to help investors understand the financial 
performance of each Fund for the past five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a Fund. The total 
returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a particular Fund (assuming 
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Information for the fiscal years ended 2004 through 2009 has been audited by Ernst & 
Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, whose report, along with each Fund’s financial statements, is included in 
PVC’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Copies of this report are available on request as 
described above.

Appendix A 
 
FORM OF PLANS OF ACQUISITION
 
 
FORM OF PLAN OF ACQUISITION
 
 
Short-Term Bond Account and
Short-Term Income Account
 
The Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), deems it 
advisable that Short-Term Income Account series of the Fund (“Short-Term Income”) acquire all of the assets of Short-Term 
Bond Account series of the Fund (“Short-Term Bond”) in exchange for the assumption by Short-Term Income of all of the 
liabilities of Short-Term Bond and shares issued by Short-Term Income which are thereafter to be distributed by Short-Term 
Bond pro rata to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of Short-Term Bond and in exchange for all of 
Short-Term Bond ’s outstanding shares. 
 
Short-Term Bond will transfer to Short-Term Income, and Short-Term Income will acquire from Short-Term Bond , 
all of the assets of Short-Term Bond on the Closing Date and will assume from Short-Term Bond all of the liabilities of Short- 
Term Bond in exchange for the issuance of the number of shares of Short-Term Income determined as provided in the 
following paragraphs, which shares will be subsequently distributed pro rata to the shareholders of Short-Term Bond in 
complete liquidation and termination of Short-Term Bond and in exchange for all of Short-Term Bond ’s outstanding shares. 
Short-Term Bond will not issue, sell or transfer any of its shares after the Closing Date, and only redemption requests received 
by Short-Term Bond in proper form prior to the Closing Date shall be fulfilled by Short-Term Bond. Redemption requests 
received by Short-Term Bond thereafter will be treated as requests for redemption of those shares of Short-Term Income 
allocable to the shareholder in question. 
 
Short-Term Bond will declare, and Short-Term Income may declare, to its shareholders of record on or prior to the 
Closing Date a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous such dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to 
its shareholders all of its income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of its net realized 
capital gains, if any, as of the Closing Date. 
 
On the Closing Date, Short-Term Income will issue to Short-Term Bond a number of full and fractional shares of 
Short-Term Income, taken at their then net asset value, having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of the 
net assets of Short-Term Bond. The aggregate value of the net assets of Short-Term Bond and Short-Term Income shall be 
determined in accordance with the then current Prospectus of the Fund as of close of regularly scheduled trading on the New 
York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date. 
 
The closing of the transactions contemplated in this Plan (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Principal 
Management Corporation, 680 8th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time on ________, 2010, or on such 
earlier or later date as fund management may determine. The date on which the Closing is to be held as provided in this Plan 
shall be known as the “Closing Date.” 
 
In the event that on the Closing Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekend 
and holiday closings or (b) trading on said Exchange is restricted or (c) an emergency exists as a result of which it is not 
reasonably practicable for Short-Term Income or Short-Term Bond to fairly determine the value of its assets, the Closing Date 
shall be postponed until the first business day after the day on which trading shall have been fully resumed. 
 
As soon as practicable after the Closing, Short-Term Bond shall (a) distribute on a pro rata basis to the shareholders of 
record of Short-Term Bond at the close of business on the Closing Date the shares of Short-Term Income received by Short- 
Term Bond at the Closing in exchange for all of Short-Term Bond’s outstanding shares, and (b) be liquidated in accordance 
with applicable law and the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation. 

A-1



For purposes of the distribution of shares of Short-Term Income to shareholders of Short-Term Bond , Short-Term 
Income shall credit its books an appropriate number of its shares to the account of each shareholder of Short-Term Bond . No 
certificates will be issued for shares of Short-Term Income. After the Closing Date and until surrendered, each outstanding 
certificate, if any, which, prior to the Closing Date, represented shares of Short-Term Bond, shall be deemed for all purposes of 
the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to evidence the appropriate number of shares of Short-Term Income to be 
credited on the books of Short-Term Income in respect of such shares of Short-Term Bond as provided above. 
 
Prior to the Closing Date, Short-Term Bond shall deliver to Short-Term Income a list setting forth the assets to be 
assigned, delivered and transferred to Short-Term Income, including the securities then owned by Short-Term Bond and the 
respective federal income tax bases (on an identified cost basis) thereof, and the liabilities to be assumed by Short-Term 
Income pursuant to this Plan.

1. Description of the Funds 
Short-Term Bond Account and Short-Term Income Account are series of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”). The 
Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. 
 
2. Basis of Combination 
On March 15, 2010, the Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., Short-Term Bond Account approved an 
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, Short-Term Income Account will acquire all the assets of 
Short-Term Bond Account subject to the liabilities of such fund, in exchange for a number of shares equal to the pro rata net assets of 
Short-Term Income Account. 
 
The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The pro forma combined financial 
statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined 
financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma schedules of 
investments and statements of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of Short-Term Bond Account and Short-Term Income 
Account at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of operations of Short-Term Bond 
Account and Short-Term Income Account for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The statements have been derived from 
the Funds’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for Short-Term Bond 
Account and Short-Term Income Account under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The historical cost of investment 
securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of Short-Term Income Account for pre-combination 
periods will not be restated. 
 
Principal Management Corporation will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, 
including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $32,000. 
 
The pro forma schedules of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the 
historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statements of Additional Information. 
 
3. Significant Accounting Policies 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 
 
4. Security Valuation 
Short-Term Bond Account and Short-Term Income Account value securities for which market quotations are readily available at 
market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities 
traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price provided by a pricing service. 
Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and dealer-supplied 
valuations to determine an evaluated bid price. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available, which may 
be the case, for example, with respect to restricted securities, certain debt securities, preferred stocks, and foreign securities, the 
investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”) under 
procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. 
 
The value of foreign securities used in computing the net asset value per share is generally determined as of the close of the foreign 
exchange where the security is principally traded. Events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but 
prior to the calculation of the account’s net asset value are ordinarily not reflected in the account’s net asset value. If the Manager 
reasonably believes events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but prior to the calculation of the 
account’s net asset value will materially affect the value of a foreign security, then the security is valued at its fair value as determined 
in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Many factors 
are reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value, including, but not limited to, price 
movements in ADRs, futures contracts, industry indices, general indices and foreign currencies. 
 
To the extent each account invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the account does not 
determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each account’s net asset value could 
be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem shares.

4. Security Valuation (Continued) 
Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any given point in 
time, sometimes referred to as a "local" price and a "premium" price. The premium price is often a negotiated price, which may not 
consistently represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. It is the policy of the Accounts to value such securities at 
prices at which it is expected those shares may be sold, and the Manager or any sub-advisor is authorized to make such determinations 
subject to such oversight by the Fund’s Board of Directors as may occasionally be necessary. 
 
Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days until maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Under 
the amortized cost method, a security is valued by applying a constant yield to maturity of the difference between the principal amount 
due at maturity and the cost of the security to the account. 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Accounts would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent 
buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the security at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Accounts 
use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair 
value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable 
inputs be used when available. 
 
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Accounts. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Accounts 
own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best 
information available in the circumstances. 
 
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below. 
 
-- Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date. The type of securities 
included in Level 1 includes listed equities and listed derivatives. 
 
-- Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments speeds, 
credit risk, etc.). Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds, senior floating rate interests, and 
municipal bonds. 
 
-- Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Accounts’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 
Investments which are generally included in this category include certain corporate bonds and certain mortgage backed securities. 
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for 
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the market place, and other characteristics 
particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the 
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Accounts in 
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. 
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for 
disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined 
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 
 
Fair value is a market based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset rather than an entity 
specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Account’s own assumptions are set to reflect 
those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Accounts use prices and inputs 
that are current as of the measurement date. 
 
Investments which are generally included in the Level 3 category are primarily valued using quoted prices from brokers and dealers 
participating in the market for these investments. These investments are classified as Level 3 investments due to the lack of market 
transparency and market corroboration to support these quoted prices. Valuation models may be used as the pricing source for other 
investments classified as Level 3. Valuation models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs. Frequently, fair value of 
these investments is determined in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s 
Board of Directors. 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those 
instruments.

5. Repurchase Agreements                         
The Accounts may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government   
agency securities. It is the Accounts’ policy that its custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities. The fair value of 
the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of default on the obligation to 
repurchase, the Accounts have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event 
the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the Accounts could experience delays in the realization of the collateral.     
 
6. Futures Contracts                         
The Accounts are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of   
pursuing their investment objectives. The Accounts may enter into futures contracts to hedge against changes in or to gain exposure to, 
change in the value of equities, interest rates and foreign currencies. Initial margin deposits are made by cash deposits or segregation 
of specific securities as may be required by the exchange on which the transaction was conducted. Pursuant to the contracts, an   
account agrees to receive from or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such 
receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the account as a variation margin receivable or payable on 
futures contracts. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as   
unrealized gains or losses. These unrealized gains or losses are included as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 
of investments on the statements of assets and liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the Account recognizes a realized gain or loss 
equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the account’s cost basis in the contract. There 
is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Accounts because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as

December 31, 2009
(unaudited)
 
7. Capital Shares 
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes issuance of shares of Short-Term Income Account that would have been issued at 
December 31, 2009, in connection with the Reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net assets of 
Short-Term Bond Account, as of December 31, 2009, divided by the net asset value per share of the Short-Term Income Account as of 
December 31, 2009. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined fund can be found on the statement of 
assets and liabilities. 
 
8. Pro Forma Adjustments 
The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect changes in fund shares as if the Reorganization had taken place on 
December 31, 2009. The expenses of the Short-Term Bond Account were adjusted assuming the fee structure of the Short-Term 
Income Account was in effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. 
 
9. Distributions 
No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a “regulated investment company” 
under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital 
gains to shareholders.

1. Description of the Funds 
Government & High Quality Bond Account and Mortgage Securities Account are series of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. 
(the “Fund”). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management 
investment company. 
 
2. Basis of Combination 
On March 15, 2010, the Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., Government & High Quality Bond Account 
approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, Mortgage Securities Account will acquire all the 
assets of Government & High Quality Bond Account subject to the liabilities of such fund, in exchange for a number of shares equal 
to the pro rata net assets of Mortgage Securities Account. 
 
The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The pro forma combined financial 
statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined 
financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma schedules of 
investments and statements of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of Government & High Quality Bond Account and 
Mortgage Securities Account at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of operations 
of Government & High Quality Bond Account and Mortgage Securities Account for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. 
The statements have been derived from the Funds’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the 
dates indicated above for Government & High Quality Bond Account and Mortgage Securities Account under U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of 
operations of Mortgage Securities Account for pre-combination periods will not be restated. 
 
Principal Management Corporation will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, 
including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $42,000. 
 
The pro forma schedules of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the 
historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statements of Additional Information. 
 
3. Significant Accounting Policies 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 
 
4. Security Valuation 
Government & High Quality Bond Account and Mortgage Securities Account value securities for which market quotations are readily 
available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for 
some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price provided by a 
pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and 
dealer-supplied valuations to determine an evaluated bid price. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily 
available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to restricted securities, certain debt securities, preferred stocks, and 
foreign securities, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the 
“Manager”) under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. 
 
The value of foreign securities used in computing the net asset value per share is generally determined as of the close of the foreign 
exchange where the security is principally traded. Events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but 
prior to the calculation of the account’s net asset value are ordinarily not reflected in the account’s net asset value. If the Manager 
reasonably believes events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but prior to the calculation of the 
account’s net asset value will materially affect the value of a foreign security, then the security is valued at its fair value as determined 
in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Many factors 
are reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value, including, but not limited to, price 
movements in ADRs, futures contracts, industry indices, general indices and foreign currencies. 
 
To the extent each account invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the account does not 
determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each account’s net asset value could 
be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem shares.

4. Security Valuation (Continued) 
Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any given point in 
time, sometimes referred to as a "local" price and a "premium" price. The premium price is often a negotiated price, which may not 
consistently represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. It is the policy of the Accounts to value such securities at 
prices at which it is expected those shares may be sold, and the Manager or any sub-advisor is authorized to make such determinations 
subject to such oversight by the Fund’s Board of Directors as may occasionally be necessary. 
 
Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days until maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Under 
the amortized cost method, a security is valued by applying a constant yield to maturity of the difference between the principal amount 
due at maturity and the cost of the security to the account. 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Accounts would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent 
buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the security at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Accounts 
use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair 
value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable 
inputs be used when available. 
 
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Accounts. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Accounts 
own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best 
information available in the circumstances. 
 
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below. 
 
-- Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date. The type of securities 
included in Level 1 includes listed equities and listed derivatives. 
 
-- Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments speeds, 
credit risk, etc.). Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds, senior floating rate interests, and 
municipal bonds. 
 
-- Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Accounts’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 
Investments which are generally included in this category include certain corporate bonds and certain mortgage backed securities. 
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for 
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the market place, and other characteristics 
particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the 
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Accounts in 
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. 
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for 
disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined 
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 
 
Fair value is a market based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset rather than an entity 
specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Account’s own assumptions are set to reflect 
those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Accounts use prices and inputs 
that are current as of the measurement date. 
 
Investments which are generally included in the Level 3 category are primarily valued using quoted prices from brokers and dealers 
participating in the market for these investments. These investments are classified as Level 3 investments due to the lack of market 
transparency and market corroboration to support these quoted prices. Valuation models may be used as the pricing source for other 
investments classified as Level 3. Valuation models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs. Frequently, fair value of 
these investments is determined in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s 
Board of Directors. 
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those 
instruments.

5. Futures Contracts                         
The Accounts are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of   
pursuing their investment objectives. The Accounts may enter into futures contracts to hedge against changes in or to gain exposure to, 
change in the value of equities, interest rates and foreign currencies. Initial margin deposits are made by cash deposits or segregation 
of specific securities as may be required by the exchange on which the transaction was conducted. Pursuant to the contracts, an   
account agrees to receive from or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such 
receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the account as a variation margin receivable or payable on 
futures contracts. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as   
unrealized gains or losses. These unrealized gains or losses are included as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 
of investments on the statements of assets and liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the Account recognizes a realized gain or loss 
equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the account’s cost basis in the contract. There 
is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Accounts because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as   
counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.             
 
6. Repurchase Agreements                         
The Accounts may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government   
agency securities. It is the Accounts’ policy that its custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities. The fair value of 
the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of default on the obligation to 
repurchase, the Accounts have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event 
the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the Accounts could experience delays in the realization of the collateral.     
 
7. Capital Shares                         
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes issuance of shares of Mortgage Securities Account that would have been issued at 
December 31, 2009, in connection with the Reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net assets of 
Government & High Quality Bond Account, as of December 31, 2009, divided by the net asset value per share of the Mortgage   
Securities Account as of December 31, 2009. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined fund can be   
found on the statement of assets and liabilities.

8. Pro Forma Adjustments 
The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect changes in fund shares as if the Reorganization had taken place on 
December 31, 2009. The expenses of the Government & High Quality Bond Account were adjusted assuming the fee structure of the 
Mortgage Securities Account was in effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. 
 
9. Distributions 
No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a “regulated investment company” 
under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital 
gains to shareholders.

1. Description of the Funds 
MidCap Growth Account I, MidCap Value Account II and MidCap Blend Account are series of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, 
Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management 
investment company. 
 
2. Basis of Combination 
On March 15, 2010, the Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., MidCap Growth Account I and MidCap Value 
Account II approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, MidCap Blend Account will acquire 
all the assets of MidCap Growth Account I and MidCap Value Account II subject to the liabilities of such funds, in exchange for a 
number of shares equal to the pro rata net assets of MidCap Blend Account. 
 
The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The pro forma combined financial 
statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined 
financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma schedules of 
investments and statements of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of MidCap Growth Account I, MidCap Value Account 
II and MidCap Blend Account at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of 
operations of MidCap Growth Account I, MidCap Value Account II and MidCap Blend Account for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2009. The statements have been derived from the Funds’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net 
asset value at the dates indicated above for MidCap Growth Account I, MidCap Value Account II and MidCap Blend Account under 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving 
entity and results of operations of MidCap Blend Account for pre-combination periods will not be restated. 
 
MidCap Growth Account I and MidCap Value Account II will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the 
Reorganization, including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $40,000 for MidCap Value 
Account II and $32,000 for MidCap Growth Account I. 
 
The pro forma schedules of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the 
historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statements of Additional Information. 
 
3. Significant Accounting Policies 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 
 
Currency Translation. Foreign holdings are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the daily close of the New York 
Stock Exchange. The identified cost of the account holdings is translated at approximate rates prevailing when acquired. Income and 
expense amounts are translated at approximate rates prevailing when received or paid, with daily accruals of such amounts reported at 
approximate rates prevailing at the date of valuation. Since the carrying amount of the foreign securities is determined based on the 
exchange rate and market values at the close of the period, it is not practicable to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising 
as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during 
the period. 
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade 
and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends and foreign withholding taxes 
recorded on the books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation 
(depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the exchange rate relating to assets and 
liabilities, other than investments in securities, purchased and held in non-U.S. denominated currencies.

4. Security Valuation 
MidCap Growth Account I, MidCap Value Account II and MidCap Blend Account value securities for which market quotations are 
readily available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the 
case for some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price 
provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market 
conditions and dealer-supplied valuations to determine an evaluated bid price. When reliable market quotations are not considered to 
be readily available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to restricted securities, certain debt securities, preferred stocks, 
and foreign securities, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation 
(the “Manager”) under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. 
 
The value of foreign securities used in computing the net asset value per share is generally determined as of the close of the foreign 
exchange where the security is principally traded. Events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but 
prior to the calculation of the account’s net asset value are ordinarily not reflected in the account’s net asset value. If the Manager 
reasonably believes events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but prior to the calculation of the 
account’s net asset value will materially affect the value of a foreign security, then the security is valued at its fair value as determined 
in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Many factors 
are reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value, including, but not limited to, price 
movements in ADRs, futures contracts, industry indices, general indices and foreign currencies. 
 
To the extent each account invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the account does not 
determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each account’s net asset value could 
be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem shares. 
 
Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any given point in 
time, sometimes referred to as a "local" price and a "premium" price. The premium price is often a negotiated price, which may not 
consistently represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. It is the policy of the Accounts to value such securities at 
prices at which it is expected those shares may be sold, and the Manager or any sub-advisor is authorized to make such determinations 
subject to such oversight by the Fund’s Board of Directors as may occasionally be necessary. 
 
Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days until maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Under 
the amortized cost method, a security is valued by applying a constant yield to maturity of the difference between the principal amount 
due at maturity and the cost of the security to the account. 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Accounts would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent 
buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the security at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Accounts 
use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair 
value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable 
inputs be used when available. 
 
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Accounts. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Accounts 
own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best 
information available in the circumstances. 
 
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below. 
 
-- Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date. The type of securities 
included in Level 1 includes listed equities and listed derivatives. 
 
-- Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments speeds, 
credit risk, etc.). Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds, senior floating rate interests, and 
municipal bonds. 
 
-- Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Accounts’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 
Investments which are generally included in this category include certain corporate bonds and certain mortgage backed securities.

4. Security Valuation (continued)           
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for 
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the market place, and other characteristics 
particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the 
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Accounts in 
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.         
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for 
disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined 
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.     
 
Fair value is a market based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset rather than an entity 
specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Account’s own assumptions are set to reflect 
those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Accounts use prices and inputs 
that are current as of the measurement date.           
 
Investments which are generally included in the Level 3 category are primarily valued using quoted prices from brokers and dealers 
participating in the market for these investments. These investments are classified as Level 3 investments due to the lack of market 
transparency and market corroboration to support these quoted prices. Valuation models may be used as the pricing source for other 
investments classified as Level 3. Valuation models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs. Frequently, fair value of 
these investments is determined in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s 
Board of Directors.             
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those 
instruments.             
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Accounts’ securities carried at value (amounts 
shown in thousands):

Pro Forma Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)
 
5. Repurchase Agreements 
The Accounts may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government 
agency securities. It is the Accounts’ policy that its custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities. The fair value of 
the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of default on the obligation to 
repurchase, the Accounts have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event 
the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the Accounts could experience delays in the realization of the collateral. 
 
6. Capital Shares 
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes issuance of shares of MidCap Blend Account and MidCap Value Account II that 
would have been issued at December 31, 2009, in connection with the Reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is 
equal to the net assets of MidCap Growth Account I and MidCap Value Account II, as of December 31, 2009, divided by the net asset 
value per share of the MidCap Blend Account as of December 31, 2009. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the 
combined fund can be found on the statement of assets and liabilities. 
 
7. Pro Forma Adjustments 
The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect changes in fund shares as if the Reorganization had taken place on 
December 31, 2009. The expenses of the MidCap Growth Account I and MidCap Value Account II were adjusted assuming the fee 
structure of the MidCap Blend Account was in effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. 
 
8. Distributions 
No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a “regulated investment company” 
under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital 
gains to shareholders.

Pro Forma Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of the Funds 
International SmallCap Account and Diversified International Account are series of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. (the 
“Fund”). The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment 
company. 
 
2. Basis of Combination 
On March 15, 2010, the Board of Directors of Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., International SmallCap Account approved an 
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, Diversified International Account will acquire all the assets 
of International SmallCap Account subject to the liabilities of such fund, in exchange for a number of shares equal to the pro rata net 
assets of Diversified International Account. 
 
The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies. The pro forma combined financial 
statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined 
financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma schedules of 
investments and statements of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of International SmallCap Account and Diversified 
International Account at December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of operations of 
International SmallCap Account and Diversified International Account for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The 
statements have been derived from the Funds’ respective books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates 
indicated above for International SmallCap Account and Diversified International Account under U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of 
Diversified International Account for pre-combination periods will not be restated. 
 
International SmallCap Account will pay all expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization, 
including printing, mailing, and legal fees. These expenses and fees are expected to total $40,000. 
 
The pro forma schedules of investments and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the 
historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statements of Additional Information. 
 
3. Significant Accounting Policies 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. 
 
4. Currency Translation 
Foreign holdings are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the daily close of the New York Stock Exchange. The 
identified cost of the account holdings is translated at approximate rates prevailing when acquired. Income and expense amounts are 
translated at approximate rates prevailing when received or paid, with daily accruals of such amounts reported at approximate rates 
prevailing at the date of valuation. Since the carrying amount of the foreign securities is determined based on the exchange rate and 
market values at the close of the period, it is not practicable to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of 
changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the period. 
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade 
and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends and foreign withholding taxes 
recorded on the books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation 
(depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the exchange rate relating to assets and 
liabilities, other than investments in securities, purchased and held in non-U.S. denominated currencies.

5. Security Valuation 
International SmallCap Account and Diversified International Account value securities for which market quotations are readily 
available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for 
some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price provided by a 
pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and 
dealer-supplied valuations to determine an evaluated bid price. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily 
available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to restricted securities, certain debt securities, preferred stocks, and 
foreign securities, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the 
“Manager”) under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. 
 
The value of foreign securities used in computing the net asset value per share is generally determined as of the close of the foreign 
exchange where the security is principally traded. Events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but 
prior to the calculation of the account’s net asset value are ordinarily not reflected in the account’s net asset value. If the Manager 
reasonably believes events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but prior to the calculation of the 
account’s net asset value will materially affect the value of a foreign security, then the security is valued at its fair value as determined 
in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Many factors 
are reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value, including, but not limited to, price 
movements in ADRs, futures contracts, industry indices, general indices and foreign currencies. 
 
To the extent each account invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the account does not 
determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each account’s net asset value could 
be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem shares. 
 
Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any given point in 
time, sometimes referred to as a "local" price and a "premium" price. The premium price is often a negotiated price, which may not 
consistently represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. It is the policy of the Accounts to value such securities at 
prices at which it is expected those shares may be sold, and the Manager or any sub-advisor is authorized to make such determinations 
subject to such oversight by the Fund’s Board of Directors as may occasionally be necessary. 
 
Fair value is defined as the price that the Accounts would receive upon selling a security in a timely transaction to an independent 
buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the security at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Accounts 
use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair 
value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable 
inputs be used when available. 
 
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Accounts. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Accounts 
own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best 
information available in the circumstances. 
 
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below. 
 
ÏLevel 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date. The type of securities 
included in Level 1 includes listed equities and listed derivatives. 
 
ÏLevel 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayments speeds, 
credit risk, etc.). Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds, senior floating rate interests, and 
municipal bonds. 
 
ÏLevel 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Accounts’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 
Investments which are generally included in this category include certain corporate bonds and certain mortgage backed securities. 
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for 
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the market place, and other characteristics 
particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the 
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Accounts in 
determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

4. Security Valuation (Continued)             
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for 
disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined 
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.     
 
Fair value is a market based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset rather than an entity 
specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Account’s own assumptions are set to reflect 
those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Accounts use prices and inputs 
that are current as of the measurement date.             
 
Investments which are generally included in the Level 3 category are primarily valued using quoted prices from brokers and dealers 
participating in the market for these investments. These investments are classified as Level 3 investments due to the lack of market 
transparency and market corroboration to support these quoted prices. Valuation models may be used as the pricing source for other 
investments classified as Level 3. Valuation models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs. Frequently, fair value of 
these investments is determined in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s 
Board of Directors.               
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those 
instruments.

5. Repurchase Agreements                         
The Accounts may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government   
agency securities. It is the Accounts’ policy that its custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities. The fair value of 
the collateral is at all times at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation. In the event of default on the obligation to   
repurchase, the Accounts have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event 
the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the Accounts could experience delays in the realization of the collateral.     
 
6. Capital Shares                         
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes issuance of shares of Diversified International Account that would have been issued   
at December 31, 2009, in connection with the Reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net assets of 
International SmallCap Account, as of December 31, 2009, divided by the net asset value per share of the Diversified International   
Account as of December 31, 2009. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined fund can be found on the 
statement of assets and liabilities.                         



Pro Forma Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)
 
7. Pro Forma Adjustments 
The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect changes in fund shares as if the Reorganization had taken place on 
December 31, 2009. The expenses of the International SmallCap Account were adjusted assuming the fee structure of the Diversified 
International Account was in effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. 
 
8. Distributions 
No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a “regulated investment company” 
under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital 
gains to shareholders. 



PART C
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 15. Indemnification 
 
Under Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, with respect to any 
proceedings against a present or former director, officer, agent or employee (a "corporate 
representative") of the Registrant, the Registrant may indemnify the corporate representative 
against judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement, and against expenses, 
including attorneys' fees, if such expenses were actually incurred by the corporate representative 
in connection with the proceeding, unless it is established that: 
 
                   (i)  The act or omission of the corporate representative was material to the matter 
giving rise to the proceeding; and 
 
  1.  Was committed in bad faith; or 
 
  2.  Was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or 
 
                   (ii)  The corporate representative actually received an improper personal benefit in 
money, property, or services; or 
 
                   (iii)  In the case of any criminal proceeding, the corporate representative had 
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. 
 
If a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the Registrant, however, the Registrant may 
not indemnify a corporate representative who has been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant. 
Under the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, directors and officers of the 
Registrant are entitled to indemnification by the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted under 
Maryland law and the Investment Company Act of 1940. Reference is made to Article VI, 
Section 7 of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, Article 12 of the Registrant's Bylaws and 
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law. 
 
The Registrant has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold the Distributor, its officers and 
directors, and any person who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 
Securities Act of 1933, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, 
liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands or 
liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which the Distributor, its officers, 
directors or any such controlling person may incur under the Securities Act of 1933, or under 
common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact 
contained in the Registrant's registration statement or prospectus or arising out of or based upon 
any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in either thereof or necessary 
to make the statements in either thereof not misleading, except insofar as such claims, demands, 
liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission 
made in conformity with information furnished in writing by the Distributor to the Registrant for use 
in the Registrant's registration statement or prospectus: provided, however, that this indemnity 
agreement, to the extent that it might require indemnity of any person who is also an officer or 
director of the Registrant or who controls the Registrant within the meaning of Section 15 of the 
Securities Act of 1933, shall not inure to the benefit of such officer, director or controlling person 
unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, or it shall have been determined by 
controlling precedent that such result would not be against public policy as expressed in the 
Securities Act of 1933, and further provided, that in no event shall anything contained herein be 
so construed as to protect the Distributor against any liability to the Registrant or to its security 
holders to which the Distributor would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad 
faith, or gross negligence, in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard 



of its obligations under this Agreement. The Registrant's agreement to indemnify the Distributor, 
its officers and directors and any such controlling person as aforesaid is expressly conditioned 
upon the Registrant being promptly notified of any action brought against the Distributor, its 
officers or directors, or any such controlling person, such notification to be given by letter or 
telegram addressed to the Registrant. 
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be 
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing 
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and 
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities 
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or 
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is 
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being 
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by 
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such 
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the 
final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings     
 
  (1) The undersigned Registrant agrees that prior to any public reoffering of the securities 
registered through the use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement by any 
person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c) of the 
Securities Act of 1933, the reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the 
applicable registration form for re-offerings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in 
addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.   
 
  (2) The undersigned Registrant agrees that every prospectus that is filed under 
paragraph (1) above will be filed as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will 
not be used until the amendment is effective, and that, in determining any liability under the 



Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration 
statement for the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be 
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering of them. 
 
              (3) The undersigned Registrant agrees to file a post-effective amendment to this 
Registration Statement which will include an opinion of counsel regarding the tax consequences 
of the proposed reorganization. 



                                                                                                                             SIGNATURES
