VOTING INFORMATION

Please vote your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or by following the instructions on the proxy card(s) for voting by telephone or Internet. Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting in person may call 1-800-222-5852 to obtain instructions on how to attend the Meeting and vote their shares in person.

If you properly complete and return the enclosed proxy card(s) (or if you give your proxy by telephone or Internet), the persons named on the card(s) as proxies will vote your shares as you indicate on the proxy card(s) (or as you instruct by telephone or Internet) or "For" approval of the proposal if you do not give an indication. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Meeting in any of the following ways:

Voting Rights. Only Fund shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 14, 2023 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. The shareholders of the Fund and all share classes will vote together as a single class on the proposal. You are entitled to one vote on the proposal for each share of the Fund you hold, and fractional votes for fractional shares held.

For approval, the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund, which is defined in the 1940 Act to mean, with respect to the Fund, the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, 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 Fund (such lesser amount being a “Majority of the Outstanding Voting Securities”). Under this definition, the proposal could be approved by as little as approximately one-third of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

The number of votes eligible to be cast at the Meeting with respect to the Fund as of the Record Date and other share ownership information are set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Quorum Requirements; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. A quorum must be present at the Meeting for the transaction of business. For the proposal, the presence in person or by proxy of one-third of the shares of the Fund outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date constitutes a quorum.

Abstentions, if any, will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but will be disregarded in determining the votes cast on the proposal. As a result, because the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a Majority of the Outstanding Voting Securities, as defined above, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Fund in "street name" for the benefit of their customers and clients are generally required to request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares before the Fund's Meeting. The Fund understands that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), such broker-dealer firms may, for certain "routine" matters, vote without instructions from their customers and clients if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm's request for voting instructions. "Broker non-votes" are shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in "street name," for which the broker or nominee properly submits a proxy but that are not voted because instructions have not been received from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote such shares on a particular matter. Broker non-votes typically occur when both routine and non-routine proposals are being considered at a meeting. The proposal is considered a "non-routine" matter for which, under the rules of the NYSE, uninstructed shares may not be voted by broker-dealers. As a result, it is not expected that broker non-votes will be received with respect to the proposal at the Fund's Meeting.

If the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve the 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 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy 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.

Solicitation Procedures. The Fund intends to solicit proxies by mail. Officers or employees of the Fund, PGI, or their affiliates may make additional solicitations by telephone, Internet, or personal contact. They will not be specially compensated for these services. Brokerage houses, banks, and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward soliciting materials to their customers and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. For those services, the Fund will reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses. The Fund has retained the services of a professional proxy soliciting firm, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., to assist in soliciting proxies and provide other services in connection therewith and estimates that the aggregate cost of such services will be approximately $3,000.

Expenses of the Meeting. PGI, the Fund's investment advisor, will pay the expenses of the Meeting, including those associated with the preparation and distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies.

PROPOSAL

APPROVAL TO

CHANGE THE FUND'S SUB-CLASSIFICATION UNDER THE

INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, FROM "DIVERSIFIED" TO "NON-DIVERSIFIED" AND

TO CHANGE THE RELATED FUNDAMENTAL POLICY

The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide long-term total return (after Fund fees and expenses) in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in real assets and real asset companies. Real assets include, without limitation, investments related to real estate, agriculture, infrastructure, energy, natural resources, and timber. Real asset companies include companies that primarily own, explore, mine, process, or otherwise develop real assets. The Fund invests in real assets and real asset companies directly, and indirectly through other entities, including private institutional investment funds that pursue these strategies. Indirect private investments may represent a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets. The Fund is advised by PGI and sub-advised by two sub-advisors, ClearBridge Investments (North America) Pty Limited and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC.

Currently, the Fund is sub-classified as a “diversified” fund for purposes of Section 5(b) of the 1940 Act and has adopted a related fundamental policy. The Fund, therefore, is limited as to the amount it may invest in any single issuer, including interests in individual private funds. Specifically, with respect to 75% of its total assets, the Fund may not invest in a security if, as a result of such investment, more than 5% of its total assets (calculated at the time of purchase) would be invested in securities of any one issuer. Additionally, with respect to 75% of its total assets, the Fund may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. These restrictions do not apply to U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, or cash and cash items (including receivables).

Subject to approval of the Fund's shareholders, the Board has approved a change to the Fund's sub-classification under the 1940 Act to a “non-diversified” company and a change to the Fund's related fundamental policy. This fundamental policy, which may only be changed with shareholder approval, currently provides that the Fund, as a fundamental policy, "has elected to be treated as a 'diversified' investment company, as that term is used in the 1940 Act, as amended, and as interpreted, modified or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time." If approved by Fund shareholders, the Fund will change this fundamental policy so it provides that the Fund, as a fundamental policy, "has elected to be non-diversified." If Fund shareholders approve these changes, the Fund's name will change to "Principal Real Asset Fund," consistent with the non-diversified sub-classification. In determining to approve the change to a "non-diversified" fund, the Board considered information from PGI regarding the potential impact of the change on the Fund and its shareholders, as well as the following.

The Board and PGI believe that PGI and the Fund’s sub-advisors can more effectively execute the Fund’s investment strategy if the Fund is non-diversified because being non-diversified would give the Fund additional flexibility to invest a greater portion of the Fund’s assets in individual private funds. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in interests in individual private funds, which are deemed single investments for purposes of the 1940 Act Section 5(b) diversification test. The underwriting process for these individual private funds can be lengthy, which can hinder the Fund’s ability to invest in enough issuers to meet diversification testing. Further, the lead time to add new interests in new private funds can be extensive, given the queues in place to committed capital from existing investors. It is, therefore, more efficient to have greater flexibility with respect to position sizing (which non-diversified status would give) in order to achieve the Fund's target exposure to private assets. No material changes to the Fund's investment strategy are expected if shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal.

If Fund shareholders approve this proposal, the Fund may be subject to additional investment risks. As a "non‑diversified" fund, the Fund would be permitted to invest a greater percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments. Accordingly, if Fund shareholders approve this proposal, the Fund could be subject to greater risk than it currently is subject to as a "diversified" fund. No other material changes to the Fund's risks are expected if shareholders of the Fund approve this proposal.

5

Even if Fund shareholders approve this proposal, the Fund intends to continue to comply with federal tax diversification restrictions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). For purposes of the IRC, the Fund operates as a “regulated investment company.” As a regulated investment company under the IRC, the Fund must diversify its holdings so that, in general, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the fair market value of the Fund's total (gross) assets is comprised of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its total (gross) assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies), two or more issuers controlled by the Fund and engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or businesses, or certain publicly traded partnerships. These federal tax diversification requirements, or the Fund's determination to comply with them, may change in the future without shareholder approval.

If Fund shareholders do not approve this proposal, the Fund will remain “diversified” and subject to the related fundamental policy, and the Fund's name will not change.

The 1940 Act rules permit a fund that is sub-classified as "non-diversified" to operate temporarily as "diversified" without a formal, shareholder-approved sub-classification change as long as the fund was diversified for less than three consecutive years. As a result, if Fund shareholders approve the proposal, the Fund may from time to time operate as "diversified" based upon prevailing market conditions and investment opportunities. If the Fund operates as "diversified" for more than three consecutive years, the Fund's formal sub-classification would automatically revert back to "diversified" from "non-diversified," without shareholder approval.

OTHER MATTERS

The Fund does not know of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than the proposal described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies.

The Fund is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and, therefore, cannot determine when the next meeting of shareholders will be held. Shareholder proposals to be presented at any future meeting of shareholders of the Fund must be received by the Fund a reasonable time before the Fund commences soliciting proxies for that meeting in order for such proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to that meeting. The Fund has adopted procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Fund's Board. A copy of the procedures can be found in the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter at https://secure02.principal.com/publicvsupply/GetFile?fm=MM13013&ty=VOP&EXT=.VOP.

Only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household is a Fund shareholder of record, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. If you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement, or if you do not want the mailing of a Proxy Statement to be combined with those for other members of your household in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would rather receive just one copy for the household, please contact the Shareholder Services Department toll free at 1-800-222-5852 or by writing to the Fund at Principal Diversified Select Real Asset Fund, P.O. Box 219971, Kansas City, MO 64121-9971. The Fund will promptly deliver, upon request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement to any shareholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed.
