Dear Shareholder: 
 
A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Principal Funds, Inc. (“PFI”) will be held at 680 8th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392-2080, on 
November 4, 2010 at 10 a.m., Central Time. 
 
At the meeting, shareholders of the SmallCap Value Fund I (the “Acquired Fund”) will be asked to consider and approve a Plan of 
Acquisition (the “Plan”) providing for the reorganization of the SmallCap Value Fund I into the SmallCap Value Fund II (the “Acquiring 
Fund”). Each of these Funds is a separate series or fund of PFI. 
 
Under the Plan: (i) the Acquiring Fund will acquire all the assets, subject to all the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for 
shares of the Acquiring Fund; (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 the Acquired Fund 
will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. The total value of all shares of the Acquiring Fund issued in the Reorganization will equal 
the total value of the net assets of the 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 R-1, 
Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class shares of the Acquired Fund will receive, respectively, Class R-1, Class R- 
2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization is expected to occur as of the 
close of regularly scheduled trading on the NYSE on November 12, 2010. All share classes of the Acquired Fund will vote in the aggregate 
and not by class with respect to the Reorganization. 
 
The Board of Directors of PFI believes that the Reorganization will serve the best interests of shareholders of both the Acquired Fund 
and the Acquiring Fund. The Funds have the same investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The 
Funds also have similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in securities of small-capitalization companies while 
pursuing a value orientation to investing. Both Funds have the same fee rate schedule, however the Acquiring Fund has a lower advisory fee 
rate at current asset levels and is expected to have lower direct expense ratios following the Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund has 
outperformed the Acquired Fund over the one, three, and five year periods ended March 31, 2010. Moreover, the Reorganization may be 
expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund, on an ongoing basis, greater prospects for growth and efficient management. 
Combining the Funds will not result in any dilution of the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. 
 
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 proxy card for shares of the 
Acquired Fund you owned as of August 30, 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

THE REORGANIZATION
 
At its meeting held on June 14, 2010, the Board, including all the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of 
PFI (the “Independent Directors”), approved the Reorganization pursuant to the Plan providing for the combination of the Acquired Fund into the 
Acquiring Fund. The Board concluded that 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. The factors that the Board considered in deciding 
to approve the Reorganization are discussed below under “Information About the Reorganization – Board Consideration of the Reorganization.” 
 
The Reorganization contemplates: (i) the transfer of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in 
exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund; (ii) the distribution to Acquired Fund shareholders of the Acquiring Fund shares; and (iii) the 
liquidation and termination of the Acquired Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will become a 
shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. In the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund will issue a number of shares with a total value equal to the total 
value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund, and each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional shares of the 
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 November 12, 
2010. Holders of Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class shares of the Acquired Fund will receive, 
respectively, Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class 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 Plan of Acquisition, which is attached 
hereto as Appendix A. 
 
The Board of Directors of PFI believes that the Reorganization will serve the best interests of shareholders of both the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund. The Funds have the same investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The Funds also 
have similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in securities of small-capitalization companies while pursuing a value 
orientation to investing. Both Funds have the same fee rate schedule, however the Acquiring Fund has a lower advisory fee rate at current asset 
levels and is expected to have lower direct expense ratios following the Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund has outperformed the Acquired Fund 
over the one, three, and five year periods ended March 31, 2010. Moreover, the Reorganization may be expected to afford shareholders of the 
Acquired Fund, on an ongoing basis, greater prospects for growth and efficient management. Combining the Funds will not result in any dilution of 
the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. 
 
In the opinion of legal counsel, the Reorganization 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, which are the same for both funds. See “Additional Information About the Funds – Purchase of Fund shares, Exchange of Fund Shares 
and Redemption of Fund shares.” 
 
The Acquired Fund will pay a portion of the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization, including 
printing, mailing, and legal fees. This portion of the fees and expenses and fees is expected to total $22,455. PMC will cover any remanding 
expenses which are estimated to be $12,601. The Acquired Fund, who is expected to achieve the greatest benefit from the Reorganization, will 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. It is expected that 41% of the 
portfolio securities of the Acquired Fund will be disposed of. The estimated trading costs would be $188,000. The estimated per share capital gain 
would be $10,102,000 ($0.86 per share) on a U.S. GAAP basis. 
 
PROPOSAL:
APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF ACQUISITION PROVIDING
FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE
SMALLCAP VALUE FUND I
INTO THE SMALLCAP VALUE FUND II
Shareholders of the SmallCap Value Fund I (the “Acquired Fund”) are being asked to approve the reorganization of the Acquired Fund into the 
SmallCap Fund II (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 the same investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The Funds also have similar principal policies 
and risks in that both invest primarily in securities of small-capitalization companies while pursuing a value orientation to investing. The Funds 
differ principally in that the Acquired Fund may hold foreign securities and may invest in initial public offerings. Further, the Acquiring Fund is 
currently being used as part of a fund of funds strategy. Each of the Funds has multiple sub-advisors, and PMC actively manages a portion of the 
assets of each Fund.

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 PFI 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

The costs associated with the Reorganization are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. The Acquired Fund will pay a 
portion of the costs associated with the Reorganization which are estimated to be $22,455. Assuming the Acquiring Fund experiences the expense 
ratios in the table above, shareholders of the Acquired Fund may expect the Acquiring Fund to recover the estimated expenses of the 
Reorganization in eighteen months. 
 
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.

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 PFI’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 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 similar principal policies, the Funds’ risks are substantially 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. 
 
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. 
 
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. 

 

8



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). 
 
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. 
 
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 indicator of the risks of investing in the Funds. The bar chart below shows how the Acquired Fund’s 
total return has varied year-by-year, while the table below shows each Fund’s performance over time (along with the returns of a broad-based 
market index for reference). Annual returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges and would be lower if they did. A Fund's past performance 
(before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. You may get updated performance information

The R-1 Class shares of the Acquiring Fund were first sold on November 1, 2004. The other classes were first sold on June 1, 2004. For 
periods prior to the date on which the R-1 Class began operations, its returns are based on the performance of the Acquiring Fund’s Institutional 
Class shares adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of the R-1 Class. The adjustments result in performance (for the periods prior to the date the 
R-1 began operations) that is no higher than the historical performance of the Institutional Class shares. 
 
The R-1 Class shares of the Acquired Fund were first sold on November 1, 2004. The other classes were first sold on December 30, 2002. For 
periods prior to the date on which the R-1 Class began operations, its returns are based on the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Institutional

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION
 
Plan of Acquisition
 
The terms of the Plan are summarized below. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of the Plan which is attached as 
Appendix A to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. 
 
Under the Plan, the Acquiring Fund will acquire all the assets, subject to all the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund. We expect that the closing 
date will be November 12, 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 the Acquired 
Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical). The Acquiring Fund will issue to the 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, the 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, the 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. 
 
The Plan 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 Fund. The Board may abandon and terminate the Plan at any time before the Effective Time if it believes that 
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan would not be in the best interests of the shareholders of either of the Funds. 
 
Under the Plan, the expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization will be allocated between the Acquired 
Fund and PMC as described above. 
 
If the Plan is not consummated for any reason, the Board will consider other possible courses of action, including the liquidation (and 
termination) of the Acquired Fund. 
 
Reasons for the Reorganization
 
The Board of Directors of PFI believes that the Reorganization will serve the best interests of shareholders of both the Acquired Fund and the 
Acquiring Fund. The Funds have the same investment objectives in that both Funds seek to provide long-term growth of capital. The Funds also 
have similar principal policies and risks in that both invest primarily in securities of small-capitalization companies while pursuing a value 
orientation to investing. Both Funds have the same fee rate schedule, however the Acquiring Fund has a lower advisory fee rate at current asset 
levels and is expected to have lower direct expense ratios following the Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund has outperformed the Acquired Fund 
over the one, three, and five year periods ended March 31, 2010. Moreover, the Reorganization may be expected to afford shareholders of the 
Acquired Fund, on an ongoing basis, greater prospects for growth and efficient management. Combining the Funds will not result in any dilution of 
the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds. 
 
Board Consideration of the Reorganization
 
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)  the investment objectives and principal investment strategies and risks of the Funds; 
 
(2)  identical 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 of the Funds, including indirect expenses and pro forma expense ratios calculated on the basis of the direct expenses PMC 
  anticipates the Acquiring Fund will incur post-merger; 
 
(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 Dimensional, Vaughan Nelson and LA Capital who currently serve as sub- 
  advisors to the Acquiring Fund; 
 
(9)  any direct or indirect benefits expected to be derived by PMC and its affiliates from the Reorganization; 

 

11



(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 substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks; 
 
(2)  Dimensional, Vaughan Nelson and LA Capital as sub-advisors 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 Board’s expectation, based on calculations of the direct expenses PMC anticipates the Acquiring Fund will incur post-merger, that the 
  Acquiring Fund will incur lower direct expenses post-merger than the Acquired Fund incurred pre-merger; and 
 
(4)  the combination of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds may be expected to afford shareholders of the Acquired Fund on an ongoing basis 
  greater prospects for growth and efficient management. 
 
Description of the Securities to Be Issued
 
PFI 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 PFI, and the Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class 
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 PFI 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 both 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 PFI, 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 October 31, 2009, the Acquired Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward of approximately 
$121,230,000 expiring between 2016 and 2017. After the Reorganization, these losses will be available to the Acquiring Fund to offset its 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 the Acquiring Fund 
may not be able to use these losses as rapidly as the Acquired Fund might have, and part of these losses may not be useable at all. The ability of the 
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 Acquiring Fund. 

 

12



Distribution of Income and Gains. Prior to the Reorganization, the 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. 
 
CAPITALIZATION
 
The following tables show as of April 30, 2010: (i) the capitalization of the Acquired Fund; (ii) the capitalization of the Acquiring Fund; and 
(iii) the pro forma combined capitalization of the Acquiring Fund as if the Reorganization has occurred as of that date. As of April 30, 2010, the 
Acquired Fund had outstanding six classes of shares; Institutional, Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, and Class R-5. As of April 30, 2010, 
the Acquiring Fund had outstanding seven classes of shares; Class J, Institutional, Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, and Class R-5. 
 
The Acquired Fund will pay a portion of the expenses and out-of-pocket fees incurred in connection with the Reorganization including 
printing, mailing, and legal fees. The expenses and fees the Acquired Fund will pay are expected to total $22,455. 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. The trading costs 
are estimated to be $188,000 with an approximate gain of $10,102,000 ($0.86 per shares) on a U.S. GAAP basis.

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. 
 
Management Risk. The Acquired Fund is actively managed and prepared to invest in securities, sectors, or industries differently from the 
benchmark. For the Fund, 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, the 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. 
 
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 

 

14



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”) 
The Acquired Fund 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 a 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 a 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, a 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. 
 
Derivatives. To the extent permitted by its investment objectives and policies, the Acquiring Fund 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 (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 a 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 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 a 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. 
 
Foreign Investing. The Funds 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. 

 

15



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 a Fund is unable to make 
intended security purchases due to settlement problems, the Fund may miss attractive investment opportunities. In addition, a 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 a Fund’s investments in those countries. In addition, a 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. 
 
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 a Fund’s portfolio. A 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 
risks of 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. A 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 Capitalization Companies. The Funds may invest in securities of companies with small market capitalizations as a principal investment 
strategy. 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 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. 
 
Underlying Funds. The Acquired and Acquiring Funds are underlying funds to certain PFI and Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. (“PVC”) 
fund of funds. An underlying fund may experience relatively large redemptions or investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or 

 

16



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 table shows the percentage of the outstanding shares of the Acquiring Fund owned by the Principal LifeTime Funds as of 
October 31, 2009. 

 

  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal  Principal 
  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime  LifeTime 
  2010  2015  2020  2025  2030  2035  2040  2045  2050  2055 
  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund  Fund 
SmallCap Value Fund I  1.17%  0.62%  4.58%  0.94%  13.38%  0.76%  8.80%  0.33%  4.23%  0.05% 

 

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. 
 
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 a 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, a Fund may purchase U.S. government securities, preferred 
stocks, and debt securities, whether or not convertible into or carrying rights for common stock. 
 
There is no limit on the extent to which the Funds may take temporary defensive measures. In taking such measures, a Fund may fail to achieve its 
investment objective. 
 
Portfolio Turnover. “Portfolio Turnover” is the term used in the industry for measuring the amount of trading that occurs in a 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 (that are paid by the Fund) which may lower the Fund’s performance and may generate short-term capital gains (on which taxes 
may be imposed even if no shares of the Fund are sold during the year). 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 PFI has adopted an 18f-3 Plan for each of the Funds. Under these plans, the Funds offer the following shares: Class 
R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3, Class R-4, Class R-5 and Institutional Class. The Acquiring Fund also offers Class J shares, however such shares are not 
offered through this prospectus. 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. 
 
Costs of Investing in the Funds
 
Fees and Expenses of the Funds 
 
The fees and expenses of the Funds are described below. Depending on the class of your shares, you may incur one-time or ongoing fees or 
both. One-time fees include sales or redemption fees. Ongoing fees are the operating expenses of a Fund and include fees paid to the Fund’s 
manager, underwriter and others who provide ongoing services to the Fund. The Class R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and Class R-5 shares are collectively 
referred to herein as the "Retirement Class shares." 
 
Ongoing fees 
 
Ongoing Fees reduce the value of each share. Because they are ongoing, they increase the cost of investing in the Funds. 
 
Each Fund pays ongoing fees to PMC and others who provide services to the Fund. These fees include: 
 
  Management Fee – Through the Management Agreement with the Fund, PMC has agreed to provide investment advisory services and 
  administrative services to the Fund. 
  Other Expenses – A portion of expenses that are allocated to all classes of the Fund. 
  Distribution Fee – Each of the Funds has adopted a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for its Retirement Class shares. 
  Each Fund pays a distribution fee based on the average daily net asset value (NAV) of the Fund. These fees pay distribution and other 
  expenses for the sale of Fund shares and for services provided to shareholders. Over time, these fees may exceed other types of sales 
  charges. 

 

17



  Transfer Agent Fee. Principal Shareholder Services, Inc. (“PSS”) has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement with the Fund under 
  which PSS provides transfer agent services to the Funds at cost. 
 
Retirement Class Shares Only 
 
  Service Fee – PMC has entered into a Services Agreement with PFI under which PMC performs personal services for shareholders. 
  Administrative Service Fee – PMC has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with PFI under which PMC provides transfer 
  agent and corporate administrative services to the Fund. In addition, PMC has assumed the responsibility for communications with and 
  recordkeeping services for beneficial owners of Fund shares. 
 
Institutional Class shares of the Funds also pay expenses of registering and qualifying shares for sale, the cost of producing and distributing 
reports and prospectuses to shareholders, and the cost of shareholder meetings held solely for Institutional Class shares respectively. 
 
Distribution Plans and Intermediary Compensation
 
Institutional Class Shares 
Neither Fund has adopted a 12b-1 Plan for Institutional Class shares. 
 
Retirement Class Shares 
PFI has adopted Distribution and Service Plans under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (a “12b-1 plan”) for the Class R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 
shares of each Fund. Under the 12b-1 plan, the Funds will make payments from their assets attributable to the particular share class to PFD .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 funds that are closed to new investors or to additional purchases by existing shareholders. The Board will determine whether to 
terminate, modify, or leave unchanged the 12b-1 plan for any fund at the time the Board directs the implementation of the closure of the fund. 
Because Rule 12b-1 fees are ongoing fees, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in the Funds and may cost more than paying other 
types of sales charges. 
 
The maximum annual Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fee (as a percentage of average daily net assets) for each of the above classes of 
the Funds are set forth below: 

 

Share Class  12b-1 Fee 
R-1  0.35% 
R-2  0.30% 
R-3  0.25% 
R-4  0.10% 

 

Retirement Plan Services. Each Fund pays a Service Fee and Administrative Services Fee to PMC for providing services to retirement plan 
shareholders. PMC typically pays some or all of these fees to Principal Life Insurance Company, which has entered into an agreement to provide 
these services to the retirement plan shareholders. PMC may also enter into agreements with other intermediaries to provide these services, and pay 
some or all of the Fees to such intermediaries. 
 
Plan recordkeepers, who may have affiliated financial intermediaries that sell shares of the funds, may be paid additional amounts. In addition, 
financial intermediaries may be affiliates of entities that receive compensation from the Distributor for maintaining retirement plan “platforms” that 
facilitate trading by affiliated and non-affiliated financial intermediaries and recordkeeping for retirement plans. 
 
The amounts paid to plan recordkeepers for recordkeeping services, and their related service requirements may vary across fund groups and 
share classes. This may create an incentive for financial intermediaries and their Investment Representatives to recommend one fund complex over 
another or one class of shares over another. 
 
Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries
 
If one mutual fund sponsor makes greater payments than another, your Financial Professional and his or her intermediary may have an 
incentive to recommend one fund complex over another. Similarly, if your Financial Professional or his or her intermediary receives more 
distribution assistance for one share class versus another, then they may have an incentive to recommend that share class. 
 
Financial Professionals who deal with investors on an individual basis are typically associated with an intermediary. Financial Professionals 
may receive some or all of the amounts paid to the intermediary with which he or she is associated. You can ask your Financial Professional for 
information about any payments he or she or the intermediary receives from the Distributor, its affiliates or the Fund and any services provided. 
 
Please speak with your Financial Professional to learn more about the total amounts paid to your Financial Professional and his or her 
intermediary by the Funds, 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 a Fund may use brokers who sell shares of the Funds to effect portfolio transactions, the sale of shares is not considered as a factor 
by the Fund’s Sub-Advisors when selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions. 
 
Your 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 is determined and disclosed separately by the intermediary. You should ask your Financial Professional for 
information about any fees and/or commissions that are charged. 
 
Additionally, the Distributor and its affiliates will, in some cases, provide payments to reimburse directly or indirectly the costs incurred by 
intermediaries and their associated Financial Professionals in connection with educational seminars and training and marketing efforts related to the 

 

18



Funds for the intermediaries’ employees and representatives and/or their clients and potential clients. The costs and expenses associated with these 
efforts may include travel, lodging, entertainment, and meals. The Distributor will also, in some cases, provide payment or reimbursement for 
expenses associated with qualifying dealers’ conferences, transactions (“ticket”) charges, and general marketing expenses. 
 
Pricing of Fund Shares
 
Each Fund’s shares are bought and sold at the current share price. The share price of each class of each Fund is calculated each day the NYSE 
is open (shares are not priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading, generally 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 
share price is determined as of 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 good order by us at our transaction processing 
center in Canton, Massachusetts. In order for us to process your purchase order on the day it is received, we must receive the order (with complete 
information): 
  on a day that the NYSE is open and 
  prior to the close of trading on the NYSE (normally 3 p.m. Central Time). 
 
Orders received after the close of the NYSE or on days that the NYSE is not open will be processed on the next day that the NYSE is open for 
normal trading. 
 
If we receive an application or purchase request for a new mutual fund account or subsequent purchase into an existing account that is 
accompanied by a check and the application or purchase request does not contain complete information, we may hold the application (and check) 
for up to two business days while we attempt to obtain the necessary information. If we receive the necessary information within two business days, 
we will process the order using the next share price calculated. If we do not receive the information within two business days, the application and 
check will be returned to you. 
 
For all PFI Funds, the share price 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 liability of each class 
  dividing the remainder by the total number of shares outstanding for that class. 
 
NOTES:   
  If market quotations are not readily available for a security owned by a Fund, its fair value is determined using a policy adopted by the 
  Directors. Fair valuation pricing is subjective and creates the possibility that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially 
  from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. 
 
  A 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 a Fund’s Net Asset Value (“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 a 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 the Manager 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.

Purchase of Fund Shares
 
Institutional Class Shares 
 
  Only eligible purchasers may buy Institutional Class shares of the Funds. At the present time, eligible purchasers include but are not 
limited to:   
  retirement and pension plans to which Principal Life Insurance Company (“Principal Life”) provides recordkeeping services; 
  separate accounts of Principal Life; 
  Principal Life or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; 
  any fund distributed by Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. if the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares 
  of mutual funds; 
  clients of Principal Global Investors, LLC.; 
  sponsors, recordkeepers, or administrators of wrap account or mutual fund asset allocation programs or participants in those programs; 
  certain pension plans; 
  certain retirement account investment vehicles administered by foreign or domestic pension plans; 
  an investor who buys shares through an omnibus account with certain intermediaries, such as a broker-dealer, bank, or other financial 
  institution, pursuant to a written agreement; and 
  certain institutional clients that have been approved by Principal Life for purposes of providing plan record keeping. 
 
  PMC reserves the right to broaden or limit the designation of eligible purchasers. Not all of the Funds are offered in every state. Please check 
with your financial advisor or our home office for state availability. 
 
  Shares may be purchased from the Distributor. There are no sales charges on Institutional Class shares of the Fund. There are no restrictions on 
amounts to be invested in Institutional Class shares of the Fund. Shareholder accounts for the Fund are maintained under an open account system. 
Under this system, an account is opened and maintained for each investor (generally an omnibus account or an institutional investor). Each 
investment is confirmed by sending the investor a statement of account showing the current purchase or sale and the total number of shares owned. 
The statement of account is treated by the Fund as evidence of ownership of Fund shares. Share certificates are not issued. The Fund may reject or 
cancel any purchase orders for any reason. For example, the Fund does not intend to permit market timing because short-term or other excessive 
trading into and out of the Funds may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, 
the Fund may reject any purchase orders from market timers or investors that, in PMC’s opinion, may be disruptive to the Fund. For these purposes, 
PMC may consider an investor’s trading history in the Fund or other Funds sponsored by Principal Life and accounts under common ownership or 
control.   
 
  Payments are to be made via personal or financial institution check (for example, a bank or cashier's check). We reserve the right to refuse any 
payment that we feel presents a fraud or money laundering risk. Examples of the types of payments we will not accept are cash, money orders, 
travelers' checks, credit card checks, and foreign checks. PMC may recommend to the Board, and the Board may elect, to close certain funds to new 
and existing investors. 
 
  NOTE:  No salesperson, dealer or other person is authorized to give information or make representations about a Fund other than those 
    contained in this Prospectus. Information or representations not contained in this prospectus may not be relied upon as having 
    been provided or made by PFI, a Fund, PMC, any Sub-Advisor, or PFD. 
 
Retirement Class Shares 
 
  The Retirement Class shares may be purchased through retirement plans, though not all plans offer each Fund. Such plans may impose fees in 
addition to those charged by the Funds. The services or share classes available to you may vary depending upon how you wish to purchase shares of 
the Fund. Each share class represents investments in the same portfolio of securities, but each class has its own expense structure, allowing you to 
choose the class that best meets your situation (not all classes are available to all plans). Each investor’s financial considerations are different. You 
should speak with your financial professional to help you decide which share class is best for you. 
 
  Only eligible purchasers may buy Retirement Class shares of the Funds. At the present time, eligible purchasers include but are not 
limited to:   
  retirement and pension plans to which Principal Life Insurance Company ("Principal Life") provides recordkeeping services; 
  separate accounts of Principal Life; 
  Principal Life or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; 
  any fund distributed by Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. if the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in shares 
  of mutual funds; 
  clients of Principal Global Investors, LLC.; 
  certain pension plans; 
  certain retirement account investment vehicles administered by foreign or domestic pension plans; 
  an investor who buys shares through an omnibus account with certain intermediaries, such as a broker-dealer, bank, or other financial 
  institution, pursuant to a written agreement; and 
  certain retirement plan clients that have an approved organization for purposes of providing plan record keeping services. 
 
  PMC reserves the right to broaden or limit the designation of eligible purchasers. Not all of the Funds are offered in every state. Please check 
with your financial advisor or our home office for state availability. 

 

20



  Shares may be purchased from Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. The Distributor is an affiliate of Principal Life Insurance Company and with it 
are subsidiaries of Principal Financial Group, Inc. and members of the Principal Financial Group. There are no sales charges on R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, 
and R-5 Class shares of the Fund. Shareholder accounts for the Fund are maintained under an open account system. Under this system, an account 
is opened and maintained for each investor (generally an omnibus account or an plan level account). Each investment is confirmed by sending the 
investor a statement of account showing the current purchase or sale and the total number of shares owned. The statement of account is treated by 
the Fund as evidence of ownership of Fund shares. Share certificates are not issued. 
 
  The Fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason. For example, the Fund does not intend to permit market timing because 
short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the Funds may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by 
increasing expenses. Accordingly, the Fund may reject any purchase orders from market timers or investors that, in PMC's opinion, may be 
disruptive to the Fund. For these purposes, PMC may consider an investor's trading history in the Fund or other Funds sponsored by Principal Life 
and accounts under common ownership or control. 
 
  Payments may be made via personal or financial institution check (for example, a bank or cashier's check). We reserve the right to refuse any 
payment that we feel presents a fraud or money laundering risk. Examples of the types of payments we will not accept are cash, money orders, 
travelers' checks, credit card checks, and foreign checks. 
 
  PMC may recommend to the Board, and the Board may elect, to close certain funds to new and existing investors. 
 
  NOTE:  No salesperson, dealer or other person is authorized to give information or make representations about a Fund other than those 
    contained in this Prospectus. Information or representations not contained in this prospectus may not be relied upon as having 
    been provided or made by Principal Funds, a Fund, PMC, any Sub-Advisor, or Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. 
 
Redemption of Fund Shares
Institutional Class Shares 
 
  Institutional Class Shares of the Funds may be redeemed upon request. There is no charge for the redemption. Shares are redeemed at the NAV 
per share next computed after the request is received by a Fund in proper and complete form. The Funds generally send payment for shares sold the 
business day after the sell order is received. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than 
seven days, as permitted by federal securities law. 
 
Retirement Class Shares 
 
  Subject to any restrictions imposed by a plan, Retirement Class shares may be sold back to the Funds any day the NYSE is open. For more 
information about how to sell shares of a Fund, including any charges that a plan may impose, please consult the plan. 
 
  The Funds generally sends payment for shares sold the business day after the sell order is received. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds 
may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than seven days, as permitted by federal securities law. 
 
  Distributions in Kind. Payment for shares of the Funds tendered for redemption is ordinarily made by check. However, the Funds may 
determine that it would be detrimental to the remaining shareholders of a Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. 
Under certain circumstances, therefore, each of the Funds 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. If a 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. 
 
  Redemption fees. The Fund board of directors has determined that it is not necessary to impose a fee upon the redemption of fund shares, 
because the Fund has adopted transfer restrictions as described in “Exchange of Fund Shares.” 
 
Exchange of Fund Shares
 
  An exchange between Funds is a redemption of shares of one Fund and a concurrent purchase of shares in another Fund with the redemption 
proceeds. A shareholder, including a beneficial owner of shares held in nominee name or a participant in a participant-directed employee benefit 
plan, may exchange Fund shares under certain circumstances. In addition to any restrictions an intermediary or an employee benefit plan imposes, 
Fund shares may be exchanged, without charge, for shares of any other Fund of the Principal Funds, provided that: 
  the shareholder has not exchanged shares of the Fund within 30 days preceding the exchange, unless the shareholder is exchanging into the 
  Money Market Fund, 
  the share class of such other Fund is available through the plan, and 
  the share class of such other Fund is available in the shareholder’s state of residence. 
 
  All exchanges completed on the same day are considered a single exchange for purposes of this exchange limitation. In addition, the Fund will 
reject an order to purchase shares of any Fund if the shareholder redeemed shares from that Fund within the preceding 30-day period. The 30-day 
exchange or purchase restriction does not apply to exchanges or purchases made on a scheduled basis such as scheduled periodic portfolio 
rebalancing transactions. 
 
  If Fund shares are purchased through an intermediary that is unable or unwilling to impose the 30-day exchange restriction described above, 
Fund management may waive this restriction in lieu of the exchange limitation that the intermediary is able to impose if, in management’s 
judgment, such limitation is reasonably likely to prevent excessive trading in Fund shares. In order to prevent excessive exchanges, and under other 
circumstances where the Fund Board of Directors or the Manager believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, the Fund reserves the right to revise 
or terminate this exchange privilege, limit the amount or further limit the number of exchanges, reject any exchange or close an account. 

 

21



Frequent Purchases and Redemptions
 
The Funds are not designed for, and do not knowingly accommodate, frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by investors. If you 
intend to trade frequently and/or use market timing investment strategies, you should not purchase these Funds. 
 
Frequent purchases and redemptions pose a risk to the Funds because they may: 
  Disrupt the management of the Funds by: 
  forcing the Funds 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 Funds; and 
  increase expenses of the Funds due to: 
  increased broker-dealer commissions and 
  increased recordkeeping and related costs. 
 
The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of shares of the 
Funds. The Funds monitor shareholder trading activity to identify and take action against abuses. While our policies and procedures are designed to 
identify and protect against abusive trading practices, there can be no certainty that we will identify and prevent abusive trading in all instances. If 
we are not able to identify such excessive trading practices, the Funds and their shareholders may be harmed. When we do identify abusive trading, 
we will apply our policies and procedures in a fair and uniform manner. 
 
Institutional Class Shares 
 
If we, or a Fund, deem abusive trading practices to be occurring, we will take action that may include, but is not limited to: 
  Rejecting exchange instructions from the 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 by facsimile, overnight courier, telephone or via the internet; 
  Limiting 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. 
 
The Funds have 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, we will reverse the exchange. We will give you notice in writing in this 
instance.   
 
Retirement Class Shares 
 
The Funds have adopted an exchange frequency restriction, described above in “Exchange of Fund Shares” to limit excessive trading in fund 
shares.   
 
Dividends and Distributions
 
Dividends are based on estimates of income, expenses, and shareholder activity for the Fund. Actual income, expenses, and shareholder 
activity may differ from estimates; consequently, differences, if any, will be included in the calculation of subsequent dividends. The Funds pay 
their net investment income to shareholders of record on the business day prior to the payment date. The Funds pay out their accumulated declared 
dividends annually. 
 
Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually in December. Payments are made to shareholders of record on the business day prior 
to the payable date. Capital gains may be taxable at different rates, depending on the length of time that the Fund holds its assets. 
 
Dividend and capital gains distributions will be reinvested, without a sales charge, in shares of the Fund from which the distribution is paid. 
However, you may authorize the distribution to be: 
  invested in shares of another PFI Fund without a sales charge (distributions of a Fund may be directed only to one receiving Fund); or 
  paid in cash, if the amount is $10 or more. 
 
Generally, for federal income tax purposes, Fund distributions are taxable as ordinary income, except that any distributions of long-term 
capital gains will be taxed as such regardless of how long Fund shares have been held. Special tax rules apply to Fund distributions to Individual 
Retirement Accounts and other retirement plans. A tax advisor should be consulted to determine the suitability of the Fund as an investment by 
such a plan and the tax treatment of distributions by the Fund. A tax advisor can also provide information on the potential impact of possible 
foreign, state, and local taxes. A Fund’s investments in foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. In that case, the Fund’s yield 
on those securities would be decreased. 
 
To the extent that distributions the Funds pay are derived from a source other than net income (such as a return of capital), a notice will be 
included in your quarterly statement pursuant to Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19a-1 disclosing the source of such distributions. 
Furthermore, such notices shall be posted monthly on our web site at www.principalfunds.com. You may request a copy of all such notices, free of 
charge, by telephoning 1-800-222-5852. The amounts and sources of distributions included in such notices are estimates only and you should not 
rely upon them for purposes of reporting income taxes. The Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell 
shareholders how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. 

 

22



NOTES: 
  A Fund’s payment of income dividends and capital gains has the effect of reducing the share price by the amount of the payment. 
  Distributions from a Fund, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares, may be subject to federal (and state) income tax. 
  For these reasons, buying shares of a Fund shortly before it makes a distribution may be disadvantageous to you. 
 
Tax Considerations
 
  Shareholders are responsible for federal income tax (and any other taxes, including state and local income taxes, if applicable) on dividends 
and capital gains distributions whether such dividends or distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Special tax rules apply to 
distributions to IRAs and other retirement accounts. You should consult a tax advisor to determine the suitability of the Fund as an investment by 
such a plan and the tax treatment of Fund distributions. 
 
  Generally, dividends paid by the Funds from interest, dividends, or net short-term capital gains will be taxed as ordinary income. Distributions 
properly designated by the Fund as deriving from net gains on securities held for more than one year are taxable as such (generally at a 15% tax 
rate), regardless of how long you have held your shares. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, distributions of investment income 
properly designated by the Fund as derived from “qualified dividend income” will be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains. 
 
  A dividend or distribution made shortly after the purchase of shares of a Fund by a shareholder, although in effect a return of capital to that 
shareholder, would be taxable to that shareholder as described above, subject to a holding period requirement for dividends designated as qualified 
dividend income. 
 
  Because of tax law requirements, you must provide the Funds with an accurate and certified taxpayer identification number (for individuals, 
generally a Social Security number) to avoid “back-up” withholding, which is currently imposed at a rate of 28%. 
 
  Early in each calendar year, each Fund will notify you of the amount and tax status of distributions paid to you for the preceding year. 
 
  Any gain resulting from the sale, redemption, or exchange of your shares will generally also be subject to tax. You should consult your tax 
advisor for more information on your own tax situation, including possible foreign, state, and local taxes. 
 
  Investments by a Fund in foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. In that case, the Fund’s yield on those securities 
would be decreased. Shareholders of the Funds that invest in foreign securities may be entitled to claim a credit or deduction with respect to foreign 
taxes. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities or foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund’s recognition of ordinary 
income and may affect the timing or amount of the Fund’s distributions. 
 
  Investments by a Fund in certain debt instruments or derivatives may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash 
generated by such instruments. As a result, the Fund could be required at times to liquidate other investments in order to satisfy its distribution 
requirements under the Code. The Fund’s use of derivatives will also affect the amount, timing, and character of the Fund’s distributions. 
 
  The information contained in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is not a complete description of the federal, state, local, or foreign tax 
consequences of investing in the Fund. You should consult your tax advisor before investing in the Fund. 
 
Portfolio Holdings Information
 
  A description of the PFI’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. 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 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 August 30, 2010 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote. The 
shareholders of each class of shares of the Acquired Fund will vote together on the proposed Reorganization and on any other matter submitted to 
such shareholders. You are entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund for each share of the Fund that 
you hold, and fractional votes for fractional shares held. The 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 the Acquired Fund, the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) 67% 
or more of the voting securities of the Fund present 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. 
 
  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 of that Fund. 
Abstentions and broker non-votes (proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners 
on an item for which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power) 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. 

 

23



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 the Proposal or any other matter will require the affirmative vote of the 
holders of a majority of the shares of the 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. 
 
Solicitation procedures. PFI intends to solicit proxies by mail. Officers or employees of PFI, PMC or their affiliates may make additional 
solicitations by telephone, internet, facsimile 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 principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of 
proxies. For those services, they will be reimbursed by PMC for their out-of-pocket expenses. 
 
Expenses of the Meeting. The expenses of the Meeting will be treated as an expense related to the Reorganization and will be paid by the 
Acquired Fund.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 
The financial highlights table for each of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund is intended to help investors understand the financial 
performance of each Fund for the past five fiscal years (or since inception in the case of a Fund in operation for less than five 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 
October 31, 2005, through October 31, 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 PFI’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. 
Copies of this report are available on request as described above.

  Appendix A 
 
 
FORM OF PLAN OF ACQUISITION
 
 
SmallCap Value Fund I and
SmallCap Value Fund II
 
 
The Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), deems it advisable that 
SmallCap Value Fund II series of the Fund (“SmallCap Value II”) acquire all of the assets of SmallCap Value Fund I series 
of the Fund (“SmallCap Value I”) in exchange for the assumption by SmallCap Value II of all of the liabilities of SmallCap 
Value I and shares issued by SmallCap Value II which are thereafter to be distributed by SmallCap Value I pro rata to its 
shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of SmallCap Value I and in exchange for all of SmallCap Value I’s 
outstanding shares.   
 
SmallCap Value I will transfer to SmallCap Value II, and SmallCap Value II will acquire from SmallCap Value I, 
all of the assets of SmallCap Value I on the Closing Date and will assume from SmallCap Value I all of the liabilities of 
SmallCap Value I in exchange for the issuance of the number of shares of SmallCap Value II determined as provided in the 
following paragraphs, which shares will be subsequently distributed pro rata to the shareholders of SmallCap Value I in 
complete liquidation and termination of SmallCap Value I and in exchange for all of SmallCap Value I’s outstanding 
shares. SmallCap Value I will not issue, sell or transfer any of its shares after the Closing Date, and only redemption 
requests received by SmallCap Value I in proper form prior to the Closing Date shall be fulfilled by SmallCap Value I. 
Redemption requests received by SmallCap Value I thereafter will be treated as requests for redemption of those shares of 
SmallCap Value II allocable to the shareholder in question. 
 
SmallCap Value I will declare, and SmallCap Value II 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, SmallCap Value II will issue to SmallCap Value I a number of full and fractional shares of 
SmallCap Value II, taken at their then net asset value, having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate value of 
the net assets of SmallCap Value I. The aggregate value of the net assets of SmallCap Value I and SmallCap Value II 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, 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 SmallCap Value II or SmallCap Value I 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, SmallCap Value I shall (a) distribute on a pro rata basis to the 
shareholders of record of SmallCap Value I at the close of business on the Closing Date the shares of SmallCap Value II 
received by SmallCap Value I at the Closing in exchange for all of SmallCap Value I’s outstanding shares, and (b) be 
liquidated in accordance with applicable law and the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation. 
 
For purposes of the distribution of shares of SmallCap Value II to shareholders of SmallCap Value I , SmallCap 
Value II shall credit its books an appropriate number its shares to the Fund of each shareholder of SmallCap Value I . No 
certificates will be issued for shares of SmallCap Value II. After the Closing Date and until surrendered, each outstanding 
certificate, if any, which, prior to the Closing Date, represented shares of SmallCap Value I, shall be deemed for all 

 

A-1



purposes of the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to evidence the appropriate number of shares of SmallCap 
Value II to be credited on the books of SmallCap Value II in respect of such shares of SmallCap Value I as provided above. 
 
Prior to the Closing Date, SmallCap Value I shall deliver to SmallCap Value II a list setting forth the assets to be 
assigned, delivered and transferred to SmallCap Value II, including the securities then owned by SmallCap Value I and the 
respective federal income tax bases (on an identified cost basis) thereof, and the liabilities to be assumed by SmallCap 
Value II pursuant to this Plan. 
 
All of SmallCap Value I’s portfolio securities shall be delivered by SmallCap Value I’s custodian on the Closing 
Date to SmallCap Value II or its custodian, either endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute 
good delivery thereof in accordance with the practice of brokers or, if such securities are held in a securities depository 
within the meaning of Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, transferred to a Fund in the name of 
SmallCap Value II or its custodian with said depository. All cash to be delivered pursuant to this Plan shall be transferred 
from SmallCap Value I at its custodian to SmallCap Value II at its custodian. If on the Closing Date SmallCap Value I is 
unable to make good delivery to SmallCap Value II’s custodian of any of SmallCap Value I’s portfolio securities because 
such securities have not yet been delivered to SmallCap Value I’s custodian by its brokers or by the transfer agent for such 
securities, then the delivery requirement with respect to such securities shall be waived, and SmallCap Value I shall deliver 
to SmallCap Value II’s custodian on or by said Closing Date with respect to said undelivered securities executed copies of 
an agreement of assignment in a form satisfactory to SmallCap Value II, and a due bill or due bills in form and substance 
satisfactory to the custodian, together with such other documents including brokers’ confirmations, as may be reasonably 
required by SmallCap Value II. 
 
This Plan may be abandoned and terminated, whether before or after action thereon by the shareholders of 
SmallCap Value I and notwithstanding favorable action by such shareholders, if the Board of Directors believe that the 
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder would not be in the best interests of the shareholders of either 
Fund. This Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors at any time, except that after approval by the shareholders of 
SmallCap Value I no amendment may be made with respect to the Plan which in the opinion of the Board of Directors 
materially adversely affects the interests of the shareholders of SmallCap Value I. 
 
Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Plan, SmallCap Value I will pay or cause to be paid a total of 
$22,455 representing a portion the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions 
contemplated under this Plan, including, but not limited to, accountants’ fees, legal fees, registration fees, printing 
expenses, transfer taxes (if any) and the fees of banks and transfer agents. Principal Management Corporation will be 
responsible for any remaining out-of-pocket fees. 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Plan to be executed by its President or its Executive Vice 
President as of the ____th day of __________, 2010.

1. Description of the Funds 
SmallCap Value Fund I and SmallCap Value Fund II are series of Principal 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 June 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc., SmallCap Value Fund I approved an Agreement and Plan of 
Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, SmallCap Value Fund II will acquire all the assets of SmallCap Value Fund I subject 
to the liabilities of such fund, in exchange for a number of shares equal to the pro rata net assets of SmallCap Value Fund II. 
 
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 April 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma schedules of 
investments and statements of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of SmallCap Value Fund I and SmallCap Value Fund 
II at April 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of operations of SmallCap Value Fund I and 
SmallCap Value Fund II for the twelve months ended April 30, 2010. 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 SmallCap Value Fund I and SmallCap 
Value Fund II under U.S. generally accepted Funding principles. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to 
the surviving entity and results of operations of SmallCap Value Fund II for pre-combination periods will not be restated. 
 
SmallCap Value Fund I 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 $22,455. Further, SmallCap Value Fund I will also pay 
any trading costs associated with disposing of any portfolio securities that would not be compatible with the investment objectives and 
strategies of the SmallCap Value Fund II and reinvesting the proceeds in securities that would be compatible. These trading costs are 
estimated to be $188,000. As of April 30, 2010, the realized gain would be approximately $10,102,000 ($0.86 per share) on a US 
GAAP basis. 
 
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 Funding 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 Fund 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. Operating Polices 
 
Futures Contracts. The Funds 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 Funds (with the exception of Money Market Fund) 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, a fund 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 
fund 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 Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and 
the fund’s cost basis in the contract. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds because futures are exchange traded and 
the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. 
 
Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government 
or U.S. government agency securities. It is the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds could experience delays in the realization of the collateral. 
 
5. Security Valuation 
 
SmallCap Value Fund I and SmallCap Value Fund II 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 Fund’s net asset value are ordinarily not reflected in the Fund’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 
Fund’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 Fund invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the Fund does not 
determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each Fund’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 Funds 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.

5. Security Valuation (Continued) 
 
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 Funds 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 Funds use various 
valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs is 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 Funds. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Funds own 
estimates about the estimates 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Fund’s own assumptions are set to reflect 
those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Funds 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. For example, short-term securities held in Money Market Fund are valued using amortized cost, as permitted under 2a-7 
of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of these securities, but because 
the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

*Securities are transferred into and out of Level 3 for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to:

1. Securities where trading has been halted - transfer into Level 3 versus securities where trading resumes - transfer out of Level 3

2. Securities that have certain restrictions on trading - transfer into Level 3 versus securities where trading restrictions have expired -transfer out of Level 3

3. Instances where a security is illiquid - transfer into Level 3 versus securities that are no longer illiquid - transfer out of Level 3.

4. Instances in which a security is not priced by pricing services, transferred into Level 3 versus once security is priced by pricing service, transfer out of Level 3.

6. Capital Shares 
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes issuance of shares of SmallCap Value Fund II that would have been issued at April 
30, 2010, in connection with the Reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net assets of SmallCap 
Value Fund I, as of April 30, 2010, divided by the net asset value per share of the SmallCap Value Fund II as of April 30, 2010. 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 April 30, 
2010. The expenses of the SmallCap Value Fund I were adjusted assuming the fee structure of the SmallCap Value Fund II was in 
effect for the twelve months ended April 30, 2010. 
 
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.
