GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT • ASSET ALLOCATION EXPERTISE • RETIREMENT LEADERSHIP

  Nora Everett
President and CEO, Principal Funds

Dear Shareholder,

The sustained period of steady growth that global economies experienced during the first quarter of 2011 had slowed to a sluggish pace by August. A series of significant international events — from Japan’s massive March 11, 2011 earthquake to geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to continued concerns over government policy and economic uncertainty in the European Union and the U.S. — eventually took a toll on international and domestic economies. Stock markets tended to follow suit, subjecting investors to a bumpy ride. By October, the slowdown appeared to have eased somewhat in the U.S., and equity markets rallied as moderately positive economic results and optimism over constructive resolutions in Europe lessened investor worries.

In terms of your portfolio, we encourage you to maintain a diversified investment program — especially in light of the heightened market volatility. To potentially reduce your risk of loss (or of missed opportunity) due to investing too heavily in any one asset class, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to ensure your portfolio is spread across and within a range of asset classes. In doing so, we suggest you take into consideration your time horizon for each of your financial goals as well as your tolerance for investment risk.1

Investments to help you reach for your goals

To help you achieve your financial goals, we offer funds covering a wide range of investment needs and levels of risk, for all stages in life — whether you are investing for goals that are years down the road (such as retirement) or closer at hand (such as purchasing a home). We also offer investments structured to potentially provide income you can use today (for example, to help meet monthly income needs if you are already retired).

Within our fund family, you have clear choices for diversifying your portfolio. You can select a mix of our individual funds, or you can choose one of our target-risk or target-date asset allocation funds, each of which is already broadly diversified. You can rely on our asset allocation expertise, as we are the fifth-largest provider of lifecycle funds in the industry (target-risk and target-date funds combined), with one of the longest track records.2 Whatever your financial goals, we have a wide range of mutual funds to help you succeed.

On behalf of everyone at Principal Funds, I thank you for your continued support.


  Nora Everett, President and CEO

About our target-date funds

Our target-date funds invest in underlying Principal Funds and each is managed toward a particular target (retirement) date, or the approximate date the participant or investor starts withdrawing money. As each of our target-date funds approaches its target date, the investment mix becomes more conservative by increasing exposure to generally more conservative investment options and reducing exposure to typically more aggressive investment options. The asset allocation for each target-date fund is regularly re-adjusted within a timeframe that extends 10-15 years beyond the target date, at which point it reaches its most conservative allocation. Our target-date funds assume the value of the investor’s account will be withdrawn gradually during retirement. Neither the principal nor the underlying assets of our target-date funds is guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Investment risk remains at all times.

Economic & Financial Market Review

The 12-month period ending October 31, 2011 was marked by extreme swings — both up and down — in markets around the world, driven by global economic and political concerns. The period began with a market rally that persisted into early 2011, despite a series of significant international events that dominated the news — from Japan’s devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resultant tsunami on March 11th to geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to continued concerns over government policy and economic uncertainty in the European Union and the U.S.

However, the global economy hit a “soft patch” in the second quarter of 2011 that continued through the end of September, with growth moderating throughout the European Union, Asia and the U.S. Stock markets tended to follow suit, subjecting investors to a bumpy ride. Key reasons for the sluggish growth included the sudden drop in Japan’s production following the massive earthquake. Supply chain disruptions caused by the disaster slowed global growth as critical components and products exported by Japan suddenly became unavailable.

Also contributing to the global economic slowdown and heightened market volatility were ongoing sovereign debt concerns in Europe, triggered by troubles in Greece and economic policy issues in both Europe and the U.S. In Europe, investors became increasingly concerned as the debt situation in Greece worsened. Greece faced potential bankruptcy in mid-July without passage of additional austerity measures required in order to obtain the country’s next tranche of bailout money. At the end of June, Greece finally passed a $40 billion austerity package amid massive protests by its citizens. This move calmed jittery markets that had worried about a potential default.1

The ongoing situation in Greece brought increasing attention to the financial state of European banks in general. Of the approximately 330 billion Euros of outstanding Greek debt at the end of June, European banks held about 17.2 billion Euros of Greek debt maturing by the end of 2013. German and French banks began drawing the greatest investor scrutiny, as their large holdings of Greek debt could potentially cause material damage to these banks should Greece default.2 The worst-case fear was that a default in Greece could set off a contagion within the European banking system, leading to global depression.

In the U.S., policy makers spent much of the summer mired in a debate over the country’s debt ceiling. Uncertainty surrounding their ability to reach an agreement weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Even though legislators eventually reached a deal, the damage had been done to the markets. After moving sideways from February through mid-July, markets began an abrupt sell-off in late July that shaved 13.9% off the S&P 500 Index and 19.9% off the broad international market for the third quarter.3

Following the substantial losses of previous months, the markets rallied sharply in October, erasing the losses experienced earlier in the fiscal year. European Union policy makers announced a more comprehensive plan to dig their “problem child” Greece out of the oppressive debt with which it was laden and to ensure the solvency of all European banks holding Greek bonds. Global markets rallied strongly with the news.

As a result, despite weakness in the middle of the fiscal year, U.S. stocks were up 7.9% for the one-year period ending October 31. Large and mid-cap stocks outperformed small-caps, and growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks during the period. Stocks in the energy sector performed best, reflecting in part an increase in crude oil prices from $82.95 to $93.19 during the period.4 Meanwhile, in the face of regulatory uncertainty and tremendous volatility, financial stocks trailed materially.5

Fixed income investments lagged the broad U.S. stock market, yet still managed positive returns for the year. Investment-grade corporate bonds (up 6.14%) and high-yield corporate bonds (up 5.16%) generated the strongest gains; this in part reflected investors’ search for yield in a low-interest-rate environment and their willingness to take on risk within these sectors, where fundamentals were favorable. Commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities also delivered positive results, returning 4.69% and 4.53%, respectively.6

The slope of the yield curve remained relatively stable as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from 2.63% to 2.11%, while the 2-year Treasury yield fell from 0.35% to 0.25%.7 These results masked the volatility experienced in the interest rate market during the period. Rates had marched upward through December 2010, hitting a high of 3.72% before falling sharply during 2011 to close out the fiscal year as macro concerns in the U.S. and Europe cast gloom on the market. Confirmation from the Federal Reserve that interest rates would remain at “exceptionally low levels” into 2013 served to further anchor short-term rates.

Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund

  Portfolio Managers:

William C. Armstrong, CFA
Timothy R. Warrick, CFA
Principal Global Investors, LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Positive sector allocation was additive to performance. Duration and curve positioning aided results as interest rates decreased during the 12-month period. Sector allocation benefited performance, driven by an out-of-index allocation to below-investment-grade corporate bonds, overweights to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities, and tactical positioning in mortgage-backed securities. Derivatives were used to tactically hedge exposures, primarily in CMBS and below-investment-grade corporates; these positions contributed by mitigating losses during periods of increased volatility and spread-widening. U.S. Treasury futures used to manage duration aided performance as rates decreased. The portfolio's overweight allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds detracted from performance. Underweights to Treasuries and agencies also hindered results. Security selection was a detractor to performance, driven by specific issues within investment-grade corporate bonds and emerging market debt.

California Municipal Fund

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Security selection in the housing sector was a main positive contributor to performance. A significant overweight allocation to BBB-rated securities, coupled with strong security selection in the sector, also contributed substantially to performance for the period. Additionally, an overweight allocation to the incremental tax and airport sectors was additive to relative performance. Security selection in the long end of the yield curve detracted from relative performance, as did the portfolio's underweight allocation to A-rated bonds. Also, a significant underweight allocation to the state and local general obligation sector hindered performance.

Diversified International Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Paul H. Blankenhagen, CFA
Juliet Cohn
Principal Global Investors, LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Stock selection in the financial sector contributed positively to performance for the 12-month period. An underweight to financials and defensive positioning, particularly in Europe, continued to bolster results. Positions in Nordic, U.K., Canadian and Singapore banks aided performance. Stock selection was positive in the materials sector; Rhodia (a French specialty chemical manufacturer) jumped 50% in early April 2011 after Solvay announced a $4.8 billion bid for the company. Additional strength in the materials sector came from BASF (a diversified chemical producer), which benefited from strong global demand and an attractive pricing environment that resulted in a substantial increase in earnings expectations for 2011. Stock selection in Russia detracted from performance; the portfolio was hurt by underweight positions in commodity producers such as Uralkali, Novatek and Norilsk Nickel. Also, performance lagged in the energy sector. Portfolio holdings in energy were skewed to equipment and service providers and integrated oil companies; these groups lagged as their near-term profits are not as leveraged to higher oil prices as the exploration and production companies. Additionally, performance lagged in the health care sector; Teva Pharmaceuticals underperformed as results on a new drug, Laquinimod, did not meet expectations.

Equity Income Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Daniel R. Coleman
David W. Simpson, CFA
Edge Asset Management, Inc

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

An underweight to financials aided performance, as did stock selection within the sector; the portfolio has been underweight to large money-center banks due to concerns about loan growth and industry capacity. Another positive contributor was stock selection within the information technology sector, where strong performance from Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor enhanced returns. Also, stock selection within telecommunications aided performance; BCE (the parent of Bell Canada) performed strongly in response to two dividend increases and a strong Canadian dollar. Stock selection within the health care sector detracted from performance; while most health care stocks performed well, portfolio positions in Medtronic and Teva Pharmaceuticals detracted from returns. In addition, an allocation to energy (which had been a top performer in the recovery) detracted as concerns about the end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program caused commodities (including oil) to moderate, which in turn roiled this sector. Stock selection within real estate investment trusts also hindered results as Chimera Investment Corporation underperformed its peers.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

An overweight to the Master Limited Partnership (MLP) sleeve (managed by Tortoise) and an underweight to the Global Real Estate Securities sleeve (managed by Principal Real Estate Investors) contributed positively to returns for the 12-month period. Underweights to the Emerging Market Debt, High Yield and Preferred Securities sleeves (managed, respectively, by Principal Global Investors, Guggenheim and Spectrum) provided neutral return contributions. Additionally, the Global Value Equity (managed by Principal Global Investors), High Yield, Global Real Estate Securities and MLP sleeves outperformed their respective benchmarks, led by the Global Real Estate Securities and Global Value Equity sleeves. Within Global Value Equity, the top contributors were stock selections in utilities, financials and energy, as well as stock selection in the U.S., Italy and Germany. In the Global Real Estate Securities sleeve, stock selection within Singapore was a strong contributor. An overweight to the Global Value Equity sleeve detracted slightly from portfolio performance over the period. Also, the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) sleeve (managed by Principal Real Estate Investors) and the Emerging Market Debt and Preferred Securities sleeves hindered performance due to underperforming their respective benchmarks. In the Emerging Market Debt sleeve, allocations to Indonesian transportation, Kazakhstan banks and Argentine provinces detracted from performance. In the Preferred Securities sleeve, underperformance was driven by the European sovereign debt crisis and its negative impact on European financial firms. Within the CMBS segment, 2006-2007 credit bonds underperformed as these bonds remained sensitive to the direction of the macro economy.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Stock selection in Japan contributed positively to performance, as overweights to United Urban Investment, Mitsubishi Estate and Japan Retail Fund Investment had higher returns than the index (investors favored the perceived safety of the Japanese market relative to other developed countries). Simon Property Group, the portfolio's largest single stock overweighting, recorded strong index-relative outperformance; this high-quality owner of regional mall properties benefited from a strong balance sheet, stable properties and strong operations within its outlet center portfolio. Good stock selection in Singapore benefited returns as many underweights to Singapore developers came under pressure from government policies aimed at reducing growth in the residential market. Overweighting Allgreen Properties added to performance after the company received a take-over bid in the second quarter. Overweight positions in realty service companies CB Richard Ellis and Jones Lang LaSalle detracted, as these companies' revenue streams primarily depend on sales/leasing commissions. Because such payments are variable, stock prices of these companies can be volatile during periods of economic uncertainty. Stock selection in Australia was a source of underperformance, due in large part to an overweight position in FKP Property Group (a deeply discounted, highly-geared developer and owner of primarily retirement and residential properties). Overweighting hotel owners detracted from index-relative performance as hotels are among the most economically sensitive real estate sector; investors' belief that economic weakness could crimp both personal and business travel led to the sector's recent sharp sell-off.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The portfolio's exposure to collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency) aided results; the sector experienced strong demand throughout the 12-month period as investors looked for higher-yielding assets. In addition, an allocation to U.S. Treasuries contributed positively to performance as investors sought higher-quality securities while uncertainty in Europe increased. Exposure to long-dated agency debt added to performance, as the securities owned benefited from the rally in the long end of the yield curve. The portfolio's underweight to GNMA pass-through securities versus conventional mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) was a negative contributor to performance as investors favored GNMA securities over the period. Also, an out-of-benchmark allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities detracted as investors' risk aversion grew during the period with increasing uncertainty in Europe. Additionally, security selection within Fannie Mae MBS detracted from performance.

High Yield Fund

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The primary positive contributor to performance was an underweight to the home construction sector; this sector was hit very hard by the sharp decline in Chinese homebuilder bonds as concerns escalated regarding a housing bubble in China. Also adding value was an overweight in Asurion Corporation (a provider of insurance for cell phones), which continued to benefit from strong performance and the increased consumer demand for smart phones (the portfolio's holdings in Asurion are in bank loans). Additionally, the portfolio benefited from its holdings in Level 3 and Global Crossing; Level 3 acquired Global Crossing in a stock transaction that improved the credit profile of the combined entity. The largest negative contributor was the portfolio's exposure to the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market. CMBS remained attractive relative to the real estate investment trust sector within the high-yield market; however, with concerns about a double-dip recession escalating in the second and third quarters, commercial real estate underperformed. The portfolio's positioning in Ally Financial also detracted; while the portfolio was market-weight in Ally Financial, it held the firm's preferred bonds, which significantly underperformed the market during the 12-month period as financials remained under pressure. Another negative contributor was an overweight to Lloyds Banking Group, which (like many European financial firms) underperformed as the continued uncertainty over how Europe would resolve the crisis in Greece and stabilize the banking system remained unresolved.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The corporate bond sector (including both investment-grade and high yield bonds) was one of the better-performing fixed income sectors over the 12-month period; as a result, the portfolio benefited from its strategic overweight to this sector. In addition, despite weak economic growth, the portfolio's allocation to the gaming sector bolstered returns. The portfolio also benefited from security selection in the banking and energy industries, notably through holdings of Lloyds, Wells Fargo and BP. The portfolio's underweight to U.S. Treasuries hindered returns, as the sector outperformed for the period due to concerns about economic growth and sovereign debt issues. In addition, security selection in the utilities sector detracted from results. The portfolio's underweight to agency mortgage-backed securities also hindered performance; this sector closely tracked the returns of Treasuries as investors sought high-quality sectors over the last few months of the period.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

In the last two months of 2010, the portfolio's real curve flattening position and exposure to short- and intermediate-term nominal U.S. Treasuries contributed positively to performance as forward-looking inflation expectations decreased. In the first quarter of 2011, the portfolio's long real duration bias added to performance as rates moved lower. Thereafter, in the second quarter of 2011, the portfolio covered some of the nominal duration short at a gain as interest rates rose on better-than-expected economic data and passage of Greek austerity measures. In the third quarter of 2011, the portfolio's real curve flattening bias benefited performance, as the curve flattened substantially in September. Ending the fiscal year, the portfolio's break-even steepener benefited performance as the curve steepened. In the last two months of 2010, the portfolio's short duration position detracted from relative performance as real rates rallied from already-low levels. In the first quarter of 2011, the portfolio maintained a real curve flattening bias, which detracted from performance as the real curve steepened. In the third quarter of 2011, the portfolio's short duration in the front end of the nominal curve detracted from performance. (While the real curve flattening bias benefited performance in the third quarter, it persisted as a detractor from performance toward the end of the fiscal year as the real curve steepened.)

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The largest contributor during the 12-month period was an overweight position in the materials sector, which added 1.3% to relative performance. Within the sector, positions in Industrias Penoles, LG Chem and KGHM Polska added the most value from an individual security standpoint. An overweight to South Korea contributed 1.2% to relative performance during the period. Within South Korea, the portfolio benefited most from overweight positions in the industrial and consumer discretionary sectors. Also, Brazil contributed 1.1% to relative performance, driven by strong results in the consumer staples and materials sectors. The weakest sector during the period was energy, which detracted 0.7% from the portfolio's relative performance. In terms of individual stocks, Gazprom, Coal India and Novatek negatively impacted performance. At the country level, Russia had a large negative impact on results, detracting 0.5% from relative performance. Russia's weak performance was driven by the energy and telecommunication services sectors; in energy, Gazprom contributed to Russia's underperformance due primarily to the disconnect between the local and American Depositary Receipt (ADR) shares during the period (ADR shares returned 6.3% while the local shares returned 10.2%).

LargeCap Growth Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Thomas J. Bisighini, CFA
Anthony Rizza, CFA
Columbus Circle Investors

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Over the 12-month period, individual holdings that contributed the most to portfolio performance were Apple, Whole Foods and Starbucks. Apple continued to benefit from product innovation within its phone, tablet and PC franchises, which drove market-share gains. Whole Foods remained a beneficiary of the secular trend toward fresh and organic foods, with strong comparable-store sales, profit margin improvements and accelerating new-store openings. Starbucks' strength was attributable to improving comparable-store sales, brand extensions and increased points of presence (particularly in overseas markets). Individual holdings that detracted the most from performance over the period were Halliburton, NetApp and JDS Uniphase. Halliburton suffered due to concern that global economic growth would cause a pause in energy prices, a key leading indicator for oil services spending. NetApp's weakness was due to anxiety over storage spending by European and government customers due to macro and budgetary pressures (however, as of the fiscal year end, the company had experienced minimal disruption within these markets and continued to gain market share). JDS-Uniphase declined based on a dramatic pause in spending for optical communications equipment, as macro uncertainty triggered budget constraint for key telecom carrier customers and caused component inventories to become excessive within the supply chain.

Portfolio Managers:

Thomas L. Kruchten, CFA
Principal Global Investors, LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The portfolio performed in line with the S&P 500 Index during the period. Nine of the 10 economic sectors in the index posted positive returns, led by the energy and utilities sectors. On an individual stock basis, Apple Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. benefited performance for the 12-month period. The materials and financial sectors produced the largest negative impact on portfolio performance. In terms of individual stocks, Bank of America Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. detracted from fund performance for the 12-month period.

LargeCap Value Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Arild Holm, CPA, CFA
Jeffrey A. Schwarte, CPA, CFA
Principal Global Investors, LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

During the 12-month period, the portfolio benefited from investors' preference for stocks with rising investor expectations, improving business fundamentals, sustainable competitive advantages and attractive relative valuations. Sectors producing the greatest overall returns were energy, utilities and health care. Stock selections in the financial, consumer discretionary and materials sectors benefited the portfolio the most. Underweight positions in Bank of America, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs added to results; these companies struggled as the broader market sold off and financials were hit due to new investor concerns. Stock selections in the consumer staples, industrial and information technology sectors detracted from portfolio performance. Stocks having the greatest negative impact on the portfolio during the period included Occidental Petroleum, Cisco Systems and MetLife.

MidCap Blend Fund

Portfolio Managers:

K. William Nolin, CFA
Principal Global Investors, LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The portfolio benefited from owning diversified media company Liberty Media Corporation (Capital); Liberty's 40% equity investment in Sirius XM Radio was a resounding success and contributed to the 34% increase in Liberty's stock price over the 12-month period. The portfolio also benefited from owning O'Reilly Automotive (a leader in the auto parts aftermarket serving consumers and professional mechanics); O'Reilly benefited from a strong auto parts aftermarket and the integration of recent acquisition CSK Auto. (O'Reilly was up 30% over the period.) Iron Mountain Incorporated (the largest document storage company) benefited the portfolio as well; the stock was up 46% over the period due to proposals from a large investor that the market believed could create significant value for shareholders if adopted. SAIC Inc. detracted from the portfolio; the company (which provides solutions to national security, energy, environment and health care government agencies) declined 20% over the period due to a slowdown in government contracting. CIT Group (a commercial finance company catering to small-to-mid-market businesses) was down 20% due to pressures from the low-interest-rate environment. Telephone & Data Systems (a regional wire-line telephone operator having an 83% ownership interest in wireless operator US Cellular) was down 29% over the period due to a decline in subscribers at US Cellular.

Principal Capital Appreciation Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Daniel R. Coleman
Philip M. Foreman, CFA
Edge Asset Management, Inc.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Consumer discretionary companies aided performance during the 12-month period as companies such as Starbucks and Amazon.com continued to benefit from the economic recovery. An underweight to the troubled financial sector aided relative performance as the sector (particularly large money-center banks) lagged the broad market. Finally, stock selection within health care aided performance; Allergan bolstered returns as the company continued to dominate the eye business and the uses for Botox expanded. Stock selection within the energy sector detracted from performance, as oil prices were volatile and natural gas underperformed. Another detractor was the information technology sector, where many of the "old-line" names (such as Hewlett Packard and Cisco) underperformed. Finally, the portfolio's stock selection within utilities hindered results.

Real Estate Securities Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Matt Richmond
Kelly D. Rush, CFA
Principal Real Estate Investors, ,LLC

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Simon Property Group (the portfolio's largest single stock overweighting) recorded strong index-relative outperformance. This high-quality owner of regional mall properties benefited from a strong balance sheet, stable properties and strong operations within its outlet center portfolio. Stock selection within the office sector (in particular, overweight positions in owners of central business district office buildings) also added value. An overweight position in Boston Properties Inc. strongly contributed to relative performance as the company outperformed the index. Underweighting Corporate Office Properties Trust (a suburban office owner specializing in leasing space to government agencies and defense contractors) aided results as widespread concern over cuts in defense spending and slow-to-lease development projects caused the stock to come under pressure. Overweighting global warehouser Prologis detracted due to material portfolio exposure in Europe as well as aggressive plans for developing new properties in the coming year. The stock came under pressure as investors reexamined their expectations for the company's leasing and development profile. Overweight positions in realty service companies CB Richard Ellis and Jones Lang LaSalle detracted; these companies' revenue streams primarily depend on sales/leasing commissions, and because such payments are variable, stock prices of these companies can be volatile during periods of economic uncertainty. Additionally, overweighting hotel owners detracted from index-relative performance. Hotels also are among the most economically sensitive real estate sectors; investors' belief that economic weakness could crimp both personal and business travel led to the sector's recent sharp sell-off.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The portfolio's allocation to non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations aided relative performance as this sector outpaced the broad corporate market. Also, the portfolio's allocation to energy benefited performance because commodity prices remained high during most of the period. Finally, the portfolio's underweight to foreign agency bonds benefited the portfolio; this sector was negatively impacted by the uncertainty in Europe. The top detractor to portfolio performance was security selection in the banking sector, where large banks were beset by problems on multiple fronts. Additionally, the portfolio's out-of-benchmark positions in asset-backed securities hindered performance; selling by the Federal Reserve and investors' flight to quality drove down prices. Finally, security selection in the utilities sector detracted from returns as certain higher-quality names underperformed the market.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors contributed positively. Within consumer discretionary, strength came from the portfolio's holdings in specialty retailers that focus on cost-conscious solutions for consumers. Additional strength in the consumer discretionary sector was provided by the portfolio's holdings in Polaris Industries; the firm's off-road vehicles continued to dominate that market. Among information technology holdings, Liquidity Services was the largest contributor to performance; shares of this business-to-business website reported solid results throughout the period, and the firm announced an attractive acquisition. Stock selection in the health care and energy sectors detracted. Portfolio holdings in biotech and pharmaceuticals lagged due to disappointing product announcements, while companies in the home health care industry were negatively impacted by concerns about reduced Medicare reimbursement rates. Home health care provider Gentiva Health Services and hospital operator HealthSouth detracted, as the federal government's debt ceiling crisis and passage of the Budget Control Act increased the likelihood of lower Medicare reimbursements in the future as a consequence of reduced government spending. Within energy, the portfolio primarily held oil-related companies, which were especially weak due to the recent decline in oil prices and weather-related delays in exploration work.

Stock selection in the information technology, telecommunications and financial sectors contributed positively. Within information technology, Liquidity Services aided results; shares of this business-to-business website reported solid results throughout the period, and the company announced an attractive acquisition. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the portfolio's holdings in footwear retailers Finish Line and DSW reported strong results on healthy consumer demand. Within financials, MarketAxess Holdings was the largest contributor; shares of this electronic fixed-income trading firm continued to show market-share gains and better-than-expected trading volumes throughout the period. Stock selection in the health care and energy sectors detracted. Within health care, portfolio holdings in biotech and pharmaceuticals companies lagged due to disappointing product announcements.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrial and information technology sectors contributed positively over the 12-month period. Within consumer discretionary, holdings of several retail companies experiencing better operational performance via improved sales and stronger balance sheets enhanced returns. In industrials, the portfolio's sole airline holding, Alaska Air Group, posted strong operating results amid disappointments from other carriers; as a result, shares of Alaska Air were up nearly 26% while the benchmark's airlines were down over 20%. In the information technology sector, RF Micro Devices was the largest positive contributor; this semiconductor company saw resurgence in demand for its smart phone components. Stock selection in the materials and financial sectors detracted most from performance during the 12-month period. Within materials, portfolio holdings in the chemicals industry lagged as higher raw materials costs squeezed profit margins and earnings; in the financial sector, holdings in real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted. Among REIT holdings, underperformance was attributable to the reversal of several cyclical groups (most notably, lodging REITs) as renewed recession fears fueled a sell-off. Underperformance also occurred in the energy sector, caused primarily by the portfolio's underweight to this sector when it was producing exceptionally strong returns.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

Security selection in the long end of the yield curve (specifically, the 20 + years-to-maturity segment) aided relative performance. Also, within the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue and airport sectors, overweight allocations coupled with strong security selection added to performance. Additionally, overweight allocations to the health care sectors benefited relative performance. An underweight allocation to shorter-duration securities hindered relative performance. Also, underweight allocations to securities rated A and higher detracted from performance. The portfolio's significant underweight allocations to the state and local general obligation sectors detracted as well.

1. Organization

Principal Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series fund in the mutual fund industry. The financial statements for Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund, California Municipal Fund, Diversified International Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Diversified Income Fund, Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Government & High Quality Bond Fund, High Yield Fund, Income Fund, Inflation Protection Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund, LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Blend Fund, Money Market Fund, Principal Capital Appreciation Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, SmallCap Blend Fund, SmallCap Growth Fund, SmallCap Value Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (known as the "Funds") are presented herein. The Funds may offer up to eleven classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, Class P, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class P shares. Certain detailed financial information for the Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares is provided separately.

The sole shareholder of the Class S shares of the Fund redeemed all shares in November 2009. On November 23, 2009 the Class S shares ceased operations.

Effective December 20, 2009, Money Market Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Ultra Short Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by the shareholders on December 15, 2009. The purpose of the acquisition was to combine two funds managed by Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”) with similar investment objectives, principal policies, and risks. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 19,180,000 shares from Ultra Short Bond Fund for 134,909,000 shares valued at $134,909,000 of Money Market Fund at an approximate exchange rate of 7.04, 7.04, 6.99, 7.04, 6.99, 6.99, 7.01, 6.98, 7.03, for Class A, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares, respectively. The investment securities of Ultra Short Bond Fund, with a fair value of approximately $131,525,000 and a cost of $131,913,000 at December 20, 2009 were the primary assets acquired by Money Market Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Money Market Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Ultra Short Bond Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Money Market Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of Ultra Short Bond Fund and Money Market Fund immediately prior to the acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP were approximately $134,909,000 (including approximately $64,643,000 of accumulated realized losses) and $1,544,659,000, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Money Market Fund immediately following the acquisition were $1,679,568,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitations. Approximately $23,196,000 of the capital loss carryforward expired at October 31, 2010.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the fiscal year for Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010, would have been $33,000 of net investment income, $3,306,000 of net realized and unrealized gain on investments, and $3,339,000 of net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Ultra Short Bond Fund that have been included in Money Market Fund’s statement of operations since December 20, 2009.

Effective March 1, 2010, the initial purchases of $10,000 of R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 classes of shares of Equity Income Fund, Income Fund and Principal Capital Appreciation Fund, respectively, were made by the Manager.

Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares of the Funds are no longer available for purchase (including investments through an automated investment plan), except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments. Class B shareholders may continue to hold such shares until they automatically convert to Class A shares. Shareholders who owned Class B shares on February 26, 2010 will still receive dividend reinvestments and may continue to exchange their shares for other Fund’s Class B shares in accordance with the Funds’ current policies. All other features of Class B shares, including 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, contingent deferred sales charge schedules, and conversion features, remain unchanged and continue in effect.

Effective July 12, 2010, the initial purchases of $10,000 of Class J, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 classes of shares of Short-Term Income Fund were made by the Manager.

Effective July 23, 2010, LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of LargeCap Blend Fund I pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by shareholders on July 15, 2010. The purpose of the acquisition was to combine two funds managed by Principal Management Corporation with similar investment objectives, principal policies, and risks. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 135,291,000 shares from LargeCap Blend Fund I for 123,760,000 shares valued at $958,374,000 of LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund at an approximate exchange rate of .92, .89, .93, .92, .91, .92, .92, .93, .92, .91, for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 classes of shares, respectively. The investment securities of LargeCap Blend Fund I, with a fair value of approximately $936,768,000 and a cost of $915,274,000 at July 23, 2010 were the primary assets acquired by LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from LargeCap Blend Fund I was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of LargeCap Blend Fund I and LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund immediately prior to the acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP were approximately $958,374,000 ($241,383,000 of accumulated realized losses and $21,494,000 of unrealized appreciation) and $1,199,552,000, respectively. The aggregate net assets of LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund immediately following the acquisition were $2,157,926,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitations.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the fiscal year for LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010, would have been $31,504,000 of net investment income, $262,587,000 of net realized and unrealized gain on investments, and $294,091,000 of net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of LargeCap Blend Fund I that have been included in the LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund’s statement of operations since July 23, 2010.

Effective July 23, 2010, Short-Term Income Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Short-Term Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by shareholders on July 15, 2010. The purpose of the acquisition was to combine two funds managed by Principal Management Corporation with similar investment objectives, principal policies, and risks. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 15,096,000 shares from Short-Term Bond Fund for 11,015,000 shares valued at $132,570,000 of Short-Term Income Fund at an approximate exchange rate of .73 for each class of shares. The investment securities of Short-Term Bond Fund, with a fair value of approximately $129,792,000 and a cost of $127,745,000 at July 23, 2010 were the primary assets acquired by Short-Term Income Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Short-Term Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Short-Term Bond Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Short-Term Income Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of Short-Term Bond Fund and Short-Term Income Fund immediately prior to the acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP were approximately $132,570,000 ($46,600,000 of accumulated realized losses and $2,047,000 of unrealized appreciation) and $766,098,000, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Short-Term Income Fund immediately following the acquisition were $898,668,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitations.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the fiscal year for Short-Term Income Fund, Short-Term Income Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010, would have been $21,846,000 of net investment income, $20,895,000 of net realized and unrealized gain on investments, and $42,741,000 of net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Short-Term Bond Fund that have been included in the Short-Term Income Fund’s statement of operations since July 23, 2010.

Effective September 27, 2010, the initial purchases of $10,000 of Class P shares of Diversified International Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Diversified Income Fund, Government & High Quality Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Income Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund, MidCap Blend Fund, Principal Capital Appreciation Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund and Short-Term Income Fund were made by the Manager.

The investment securities of International Growth Fund, with a fair value of approximately $902,337,000 and a cost of $878,076,000 at October 14, 2011 were the primary assets acquired by Diversified International Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Diversified International Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from International Growth Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Diversified International Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of International Growth Fund and Diversified International Fund immediately prior to the acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP were approximately $922,006,000 ($729,924,000 of accumulated realized losses and $24,261,000 of unrealized appreciation) and $1,823,376,000, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Diversified International Fund immediately following the acquisition were $2,745,382,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitations.

1. Organization (Continued)

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2010, the beginning of the fiscal year for Diversified International Fund, Diversified International Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2011, would have been $53,804,000 of net investment income, $127,888,000 of net realized and unrealized loss on investments, and $74,084,000 of net decrease in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of International Growth Fund that have been included in the Diversified International Fund’s statement of operations since October 14, 2011.

All classes of shares for each of the Funds represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by the Fund’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors declares separate dividends on each class of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Security Valuation. The Funds (with the exception of Money Market Fund) 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 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 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 Funds’ net asset values are ordinarily not reflected in the Funds’ net asset values. If events that occur after the close of the applicable foreign market or exchange but prior to the calculation of the Funds’ net asset values are determined to 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 the Funds invest in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the Funds do not determine net asset values, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, the Funds’ net asset values 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.

Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days until maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Money Market Fund values its securities, other than holdings of other mutual funds, at amortized cost as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Other mutual funds are valued at the funds’ net asset value. 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 Funds.

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 Funds’ 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.

The following funds held securities denominated in currencies that exceeded 5% of net assets of the fund:

Diversified    Global Real Estate    International   
International Fund    Securities Fund    Emerging Markets Fund   
British Pound  19.0%  United States Dollar  46.8%  United States Dollar  19.1% 
Euro  18.0  Australian Dollar  10.0  Hong Kong Dollar  16.9 
Japanese Yen  13.1  Japanese Yen  9.4  South Korean Won  15.9 
Canadian Dollar  8.9  Hong Kong Dollar  8.9  Brazilian Real  12.1 
Swiss Franc  5.2  Euro  6.4  Taiwan Dollar  9.4 
United States Dollar  5.2  Canadian Dollar  5.3  South African Rand  7.3 

 

Income and Investment Transactions. The Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The Funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date, except dividend income from foreign securities whereby the ex-dividend date has passed; such dividends are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted/amortized over the lives of the respective securities. The Funds allocate daily all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding (number of settled shares outstanding for Money Market Fund) of each class.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributed to a particular fund are charged to that fund. Other expenses not directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the registered investment companies managed by the Manager.

Management fees are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding (number of settled shares outstanding for Money Market Fund) of each class. Expenses specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class and are included separately in the statements of operations.

Distributions to Shareholders. With respect to Money Market Fund, all net investment income and any realized gains from investment transactions are declared as dividends daily to settled shares of record as of that day. With respect to Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund, California Municipal Fund, Government & High Quality Bond Fund, High Yield Fund, Income Fund, Inflation Protection Fund, Short-Term Income Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, net investment income is declared as dividends daily to settled shares of record as of that day, and all distributions of realized gains from investment transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the other Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gain from investments and foreign currency transactions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, futures contracts, certain defaulted securities, sales of Passive Foreign Investment Companies, losses deferred due to wash sales, tax straddles, mortgage-backed securities, certain preferred securities, swap agreements, and limitations imposed by Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as return of capital distributions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Global Real Estate Securities Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund receive substantial distributions from holdings in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital to the Funds. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, estimates must be used in reporting the character of income and distributions for financial statement purposes.

Federal Income Taxes. No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each of the Funds intends to qualify 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.

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that each tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Funds did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years from 2008-2011. No examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time.

Foreign Taxes. Certain of the Funds are subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. Foreign income taxes are accrued by the Funds as a reduction of income. These amounts are shown as withholding tax on foreign dividends on the statements of operations.

Gains realized upon the disposition of Indian securities held by the Funds may be subject to capital gains tax in India, payable prior to repatriation of sale proceeds. The tax is computed on certain net realized gains. Realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward eight years to offset future gains. In addition, the Funds accrue an estimated deferred tax liability for future gains on Indian securities. At October 31, 2011, Diversified International Fund had no foreign tax refund receivable, no deferred tax liability, and an approximate capital loss carryforward of $2,742,000 that expires in 2017, and International Emerging Markets Fund had a foreign tax refund receivable of $7,000, no deferred tax liability, and an approximate capital loss carryforward of $12,536,000 that expires in 2017, relating to Indian securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, entities will need to disclose the following: 1) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for those transfers, and 2) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used, a description of the entity’s valuation processes, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs and the interrelationship between inputs. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since October 31, 2011, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

3. Operating Policies

Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held. California Municipal Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund have entered into transactions in which a fund transfers fixed rate bonds to trusts in exchange for cash and residual interests in the trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties. The fund enters into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the trusts, which commit the fund to pay the trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the fixed rate bond from the trusts to the fund, thereby collapsing the trusts. The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as fund liabilities under the caption “floating rate notes issued” in the “statement of assets and liabilities”. The notes issued by the trusts have interest rates that reset weekly, and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. Details of the floating rate notes are included in each Funds’ schedule of investments.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain of the Funds may be subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing such Fund’s investment objective. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of foreign currencies. Certain of the Funds enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a specified future date at a fixed exchange rate. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate, and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate the fluctuations in underlying prices of the Funds’ portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar. The foreign currency contracts outstanding as of October 31, 2011 are included in the schedules of investments.

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.

Illiquid Securities. Illiquid securities generally cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business (within seven calendar days) at approximately the value at which each of the Funds has valued the investments. This may have an adverse effect on each of the Funds’ ability to dispose of particular illiquid securities at fair market value and may limit each of the Funds’ ability to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing the securities. Information regarding illiquid securities is included with footnote designations in the schedules of investments.

Indemnification. Under the Fund’s by-laws, present and past officers, directors and employees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into a variety of contracts that may contain representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Certain of the Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the statements of operations, even though the Funds would not receive the principal until maturity.

Joint Trading Account. Certain of the Funds may, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, transfer uninvested funds into a joint trading account. The order permits the participating Funds’ cash balances to be deposited into a single joint account along with the cash of other registered investment companies managed by the Manager. These balances may be invested in one or more short-term instruments or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. government securities.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

Line of Credit. The Funds participate with other registered investment companies managed by the Manager in an unsecured joint line of credit with three banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $150 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Fed Funds Rate or LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at an annual rate of .08% on the amount of the line of credit. During the year ended October 31, 2011, Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund, California Municipal Fund, Diversified International Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Diversified International Fund, Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Government & High Quality Bond Fund, Income Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund, MidCap Blend Fund, Principal Capital Appreciation Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, SmallCap Growth Fund, SmallCap Valud Fund, and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund each borrowed against the line of credit. The interest expense associated with these borrowings is included in other expenses on the statements of operations.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. Certain of the Funds have entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the Funds sell mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously agree to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are invested in additional securities. The Funds forgo principal and interest paid on the securities, and are compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The Funds treat mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the Funds’ portfolio turnover ratio. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage-dollar-rolls are included in Investment securities sold and Investment securities purchased on the statements of assets and liabilities.

Rebates. Subject to best execution, the Funds may direct certain portfolio transactions to brokerage firms that, in turn, have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Funds in cash. Commission rebates are included as a component of realized gain from investment transactions in the statements of operations.

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.

Restricted Securities. Certain of the Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included with footnote designations in the schedules of investments.

Senior Floating Rate Interests. The Funds may invest in senior floating rate interests (bank loans). Senior floating rate interests hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. Senior floating rate interests are rated below-investment-grade, which means they are more likely to default than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the fund and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.

Senior floating rate interests pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks.

Senior floating rate interests generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for the Borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior floating rate interests may be substantially less than stated maturities shown in the schedules of investments.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

Swap Agreements. Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund and Inflation Protection Fund invested in swap agreements during the period. Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between a fund and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon, or calculated by reference to, changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. A fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, or total return swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risk. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

Swap agreements are valued through a pricing service or using procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors; changes in value are recorded as unrealized gain or loss. These unrealized gains or losses are included as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments on the statements of assets and liabilities.

Upon termination of swap agreements, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss. Net periodic payments to be received or paid are accrued daily and are recorded in the statements of operations as realized gains or losses.

Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the statements of assets and liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are amortized daily over the term of the swap agreement as realized gains or losses on the statements of operations.

Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in these agreements. Risks may exceed amounts shown on the statements of assets and liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, unfavorable interest rate fluctuation, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements.

The Funds and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Funds and that counterparty to monitor the net fair value of all derivative transactions entered into pursuant to the contract between the Funds and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives transactions between the Funds and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Funds or the counterparty are required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives transactions presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair values of other derivatives transactions or with any collateral amounts posted by the Funds or any counterparty.

Credit default swaps involve commitments to pay a fixed rate at a predetermined frequency in exchange for a lump sum payment if a “credit event”, as defined in the agreement, affecting a third party occurs. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest, bankruptcy, restructuring, or other event as defined in the agreement. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of a credit event. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of a credit event. As the seller of credit protection, a Fund would add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index.

A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swap to achieve a similar effect. Credit-default swap on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Interest rate swaps involve the commitment to pay or receive a floating rate of interest in exchange for a fixed rate of interest based on the same notional amount.

As of October 31, 2011 counterparties had pledged collateral for swap agreements of $395,000 for the Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund.

Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Funds' schedules of investments.

To Be Announced Securities. The Funds may trade portfolio securities on a “to-be-announced” (“TBA”) or when-issued basis. In a TBA or when-issued transaction, the Funds commit to purchase or sell securities for which all specific information is not known at the time of the trade. Securities purchased on a TBA or when-issued basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15 to 30 days later. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other portfolio securities. The securities purchased on a TBA or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ schedules of investments.

U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises. Certain of the Funds may invest in U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. Government securities are obligations of, and in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government or its agencies. The U.S. Government does not guarantee the net asset value of the Funds’ shares. Some U.S. Government securities such as treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Other securities, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Still other securities, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations.

Government related guarantors (those not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). FNMA is a government sponsored corporation, the common stock of which is owned entirely by private stockholders. FNMA purchases conventional residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions, and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but Participation Certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

During 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) placed FNMA and FHLMC into conservatorship. As the conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers, and privileges of FNMA and FHLMC and of any stockholder of FNMA and FHLMC. The U.S. Department of the Treasury then announced three additional steps taken by it in connection with the conservatorship. First, the U.S. Department of the Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with each of FNMA and FHLMC pursuant to which the U.S. Department of the Treasury will purchase up to an aggregate of $100 billion of each of FNMA and FHLMC to maintain a positive net worth in each enterprise. This agreement contains various covenants that severely limit each enterprise’s operations. In exchange for entering into these agreements, the U.S. Department of the Treasury received $1 billion of each enterprise’s senior preferred stock and warrants to purchase 79.9% of each enterprise’s common stock. Second, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the creation of a new secured lending facility which is available to each of FNMA and FHLMC as a liquidity backstop. Third, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the creation of a temporary program to purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by each of FNMA and FHLMC. Both the liquidity backstop and the mortgage-backed securities purchase program expired in December 2009. FNMA and FHLMC are continuing to operate as going concerns while in conservatorship and each remain liable for all of its obligations, including its guaranty obligations associated with its mortgage-backed securities.

4. Fair Valuation

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 Rule 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.

The beginning of the period timing recognition is being adopted for the significant transfers between levels of each Fund’s assets and liabilities. Certain transfers may occur as a result of the Fund’s valuation policies for international securities which involve fair value estimates based on observable market inputs when significant events occur between the local close and the time the net asset value of the Fund is calculated. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 and the table below shows the amounts that were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 at October 31, 2011 due to the use of “fair value” pricing for international securities.

(a) The maximum potential payment amount that the seller of credit protection could be required to make if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(b) The market price and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit default swap as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

(c) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, used in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Principal Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Bond & Mortgage Securities Fund, California Municipal Fund, Diversified International Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Diversified Income Fund, Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Government & High Quality Bond Fund, High Yield Fund, Income Fund, Inflation Protection Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund, LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Blend Fund, Money Market Fund, Principal Capital Appreciation Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, SmallCap Blend Fund, SmallCap Growth Fund, SmallCap Value Fund, and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (23 of the portfolios constituting Principal Funds, Inc., (collectively, the “Funds”)), as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, statements of cash flows for California Municipal Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or agent banks were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds listed above constituting portfolios within Principal Funds, Inc. at October 31, 2011, the results of their operations, cash flows of California Municipal Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011 (unaudited)

As a shareholder of Principal Funds, Inc., you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011), unless otherwise noted.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual fee of $15.00 or $30.00 may apply to IRA accounts and 403(b) accounts, respectively. These fees are not included in the table below. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

FUND DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Under Maryland law, a Board of Directors oversees the Fund. The Directors have financial or other relevant experience and meet several times during the year to review contracts, Fund activities and the quality of services provided to the Fund. Each director also has the same position with Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. which is also sponsored by Principal Life Insurance Company. Each director holds office for an indefinite term. Directors considered to be “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as shown below are considered to be interested because of an affiliation with the Manager and Principal Life Insurance Company.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. (“PFI”) approved (1) the annual review and renewal of the Management Agreement and various subadvisory agreements for all Funds; (2) an amended and restated Subadvisory Agreement with Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”) for the California Municipal Fund and the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund; (3) a Subadvisory Agreement with Herndon Capital Management, LLC (“Herndon”) for the LargeCap Value Fund I; (4) an amended and restated Sub-Advisory Agreement with Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“PRIN”) for the Global Diversified Income Fund; (5) a Subadvisory Agreement with Guggenheim Partners Asset Management, LLC (“Guggenheim”) for the Global Diversified Income Fund; (6) a Subadvisory Agreement with W.H. Reaves & Co. (“Reaves”), Inc. for the Global Diversified Income Fund; and (7) an amended and restated Management Agreement with Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”) related to changes in the fee schedules of the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, California Municipal Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

Annual Review and Renewal of Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements.

At its September 13, 2010 meeting, the Board performed its annual review and renewal process relating to the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements for all Funds.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires the Board, including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreements and who are not “interested persons” of PFI, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually to review and to consider the continuation of: (1) the Management Agreement between the Manager and PFI, on behalf of each of the sixty-four (64) series of PFI (each series is referred to as a “Fund”) (2) the Subadvisory Agreements between the Manager and each of AllianceBernstein L.P.; American Century Investment Management, Inc.; Inc.; Barrow Hanley Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC; BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; Brown Investment Advisory Incorporated; Causeway Capital Management LLC.; Clearbridge Advisors, LLC; Columbus Circle Investors (“Columbus Circle”); Dimensional Fund Advisors LP; Edge Asset Management Inc. (“Edge”); Emerald Advisors, Inc.; Essex Investment Management Company, LLC; Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.; Guggenheim Investment Management, LLC; J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.; Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc.; Los Angeles Capital Management and Equity Research, Inc.; Mellon Capital Management Corporation; Montag & Caldwell, LLC; Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC; Pacific Investment Management Company LLC; Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“PRIN”); Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”); Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC; Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroder” and including the sub-subadvisory agreement among the Manager, Schroder and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited); Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (“Spectrum”); Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC; T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.; Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC; Turner Investment Partners, Inc.; Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, LP; and Westwood Management Corp. (collectively, the “Subadvisors”). The Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. In evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including Independent Directors, reviewed a broad range of information requested for this purpose by the Independent Directors, including, among other information, information regarding performance, advisory fees, total expenses, profitability from the Advisory Agreements to the Manager and information about economies of scale. The Board reviewed the materials provided and, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, concluded that it was provided all information reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under the Management Agreement, including administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under the Management Agreement and the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Manager to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Manager. The Board concluded that appropriate resources were provided under the Management Agreement. The Board also considered that, during the periods reviewed, other than for the “Core” portions of the Funds implementing the “Core Satellite” structure, the Manager had delegated day-to-day portfolio management responsibility to the Subadvisors, and they considered the due diligence program developed by the Manager for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing Subadvisors. The Board also took note that the Manager applied the same due diligence standards to its personnel’s management of the “Core” portfolio. The Board concluded that this due diligence process was working well. The Board also considered the compliance program established by the Manager and the level of compliance attained by the Funds. The Board noted that they had previously reviewed the annual best execution and soft dollar reports and found no issues that needed to be considered in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Subadvisor, investment approach of the Subadvisor, the experience and skills of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the Subadvisors’ compliance with investment policies and general legal compliance. In addition, the Board considered the analysis provided under the Manager’s due-diligence program, which resulted in the Manager recommending that each Subadvisory Agreement be continued.

258



Investment Performance

The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over longer-term periods (both for a blended three- and five-year period and for a three-year period), and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including peer group data based upon a broad-based, industry category determined by Morningstar. For Funds or Subadvisors that did not have a three-year or five-year history, the Board reviewed performance for a one-year or three-year period, as applicable. The Board also considered whether investment results were consistent with a Fund’s investment objective(s) and policies. For most Funds, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment returns met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance. There were some Funds, or certain Subadvisors for a multi-manager Fund, that had not attained during the relevant period a level of investment performance considered satisfactory by the Board. For such Funds, the Board also considered the longer-term performance of the Funds. The Board concluded that the Manager has in place an effective due diligence process to monitor investment performance, to encourage remedial action and to make changes in the Subadvisor at the appropriate time, if necessary.

As to each Fund, the Manager had advised the Board that the investment services delivered by each Subadvisor to the Fund were reasonable, the Subadvisor’s longer-term track record justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring or sufficient remedial steps had been taken by the Subadvisor that it justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring. The Board noted that with respect to certain PFI Funds, the longer-term underperformance was due to the performance of such Funds’ previous Subadvisors, that the Manager had recommended, and the Board had approved, replacing the previous Subadvisors and that performance has improved, or was expected to improve. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that either: (i) the investment performance of each Subadvisor either met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance; or (ii) although the Fund experienced underperformance from the subject Subadvisor, based upon that Fund’s particular circumstances, it was in the best interests of the Fund to continue to closely monitor performance and to renew the Subadvisory Agreement. In each case involving underperformance, the Board concluded that the Manager was providing effective monitoring.

Investment Management Fees

The Board considered each Fund’s management fees. The Board received information, based on data supplied by Lipper, comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee (at current asset levels and at theoretical asset levels), actual (after fee waivers) management fee (at current asset levels), actual non-management fees (at current asset levels) and actual total expense ratio (at current asset levels for Class A shares) to advisory fees and expense ratios of mutual funds in a narrow peer group independently selected by Lipper (“Expense Group”) and a broad-based, industry category defined by Lipper (“Expense Universe”). For Funds that did not offer Class A shares or if Class A shares represented less than 5% of the Fund’s total Assets, the information provided was based upon Class I shares.

In evaluating the management fees, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the amount of the fees, breakpoints, comparison to fees of peer group funds and to other funds managed by the Manager, subadvisory fees paid, services provided, investment performance, total net expense ratios, profitability and expense caps and fee waivers. For most Funds, actual management fees and net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better when compared to their Expense Group. For some Funds, although actual management fees were higher than the third quartile, total net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better. The Board considered specific factors relevant to its review of certain Funds with both actual management fees and total net expenses higher than the third quartile as compared to their Expense Group. For the SAM Portfolios, the Board determined that the Manager’s unique active asset allocation strategy justified higher management fees than the Funds’ peer groups and that the total expense ratios (including the expenses of the underlying funds) compare favorably. The Board considered that some Funds have different management fees from certain other comparable funds managed by the Manager and noted the reasons cited by the Manager for the differing fees.

The Board also considered that the Manager contractually agreed to continue to reduce the management fees for thirteen Funds that have implemented the “Core Satellite” structure. The Board also took into consideration certain fee reductions.

With respect to the Board’s review of the expense caps in place with respect to certain Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s proposals to extend the expense caps in place for most of such Funds for an additional year, to raise the expense cap levels for one Fund and to let expense caps for certain other Funds expire, based upon the individual circumstances of these Funds.

Considering all factors it deemed relevant, the Board concluded that the management fee schedule for each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services provided by the Manager and other relevant factors.

Profitability

The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues the Manager receives under the Management Agreement, as well as the estimated direct and indirect costs the Manager incurs in providing to each Fund the services described in the Management Agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Board also considered the returns on revenue generated in connection with the payment of subadvisory fees to affiliated Subadvisors (PGI, PRIN, Edge, Columbus Circle and Spectrum). The Board concluded that the management fee for each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the profitability percentages the Manager provided.

259



Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. The Board noted as a part of the contract review process, management offered additional breakpoints for five Funds. The Board then reviewed the levels at which breakpoints occur and the amount of the reductions. The Board considered whether the effective management fee rate for each Fund under the Management Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of such Fund. The Board concluded that the fee schedule for each Fund reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale.

The Board noted that the management fees for the LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, MidCap S&P 400 Index Fund, SmallCap S&P 600 Index Fund and the LifeTime Funds series of PFI do not include breakpoints. Although their management fee schedules do not contain breakpoints, the Board noted that each of these Funds has a relatively low basis point fee for all Fund assets.

Subadvisory Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

For each Fund the Board considered the subadvisory fees, noting that the Manager compensates each Subadvisor from its own management fee, so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board also received industry data supplied by Lipper. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services provided to each Fund and, if so, whether the subadvisory fees reflect such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. In addition, in evaluating the subadvisory fees and the factor of profitability, with respect to unaffiliated Subadvisors, the Board considered that the subadvisory fee rate was negotiated at arm’s-length between the Manager and each Subadvisor. The Board considered the profitability of the affiliated Subadvisors in conjunction with their review of the profitability of the Manager.

Other Benefits to the Manager and Subadvisors

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates and each Subadvisor from their relationships with the Funds. The Board also considered as a part of this analysis each Subadvisor’s soft dollar practices and brokerage practices. The Board concluded that management and subadvisory fees for each Fund were reasonable in light of these benefits.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information it considered and the conclusions it reached, the Board determined unanimously that the terms of each Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of each Advisory Agreement, with the actions proposed by the Manager, is in the best interests of each Fund.

Guggenheim, Reaves, PGI, and Herndon Subadvisory Agreements

At its June 14, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Herndon for the LargeCap Value Fund I and an amended sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and PGI for the California Municipal Fund and the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund. At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Reaves for the Global Diversified Income Fund and a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Guggenheim for the Global Diversified Income Fund. The LargeCap Value Fund I, California Municipal Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and Global Diversified Income Fund are referred to as a “Fund” or together as the “Funds.”

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided under each subadvisory agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of each subadvisor, investment approach of each subadvisor, the experience and skills of each subadvisor’s investment personnel who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board noted that PGI provides subadvisory services for other series of PFI and that an affiliate of Guggenheim currently provides subadvisory services for the high yield bond segment of the Global Diversified Income Fund. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing subadvisors for the Funds and that the Manager recommended each subadvisor for the applicable Fund based upon that program.

260



With respect to PGI, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a fund with an investment strategy similar to the PFI Tax-Exempt Bond Fund that was previously managed by the lead portfolio manager of the proposed investment team of PGI, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of such fund’s historical and projected risk/return profile and considered the investment philosophy of the PGI investment team. With respect to Herndon, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for LargeCap Value I, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of the impact Herndon’s performance would have had on LargeCap Value I’s risk-adjusted excess returns over the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011. The Board reviewed the historical one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year or since inception performance as of June 30, 2011 of Reaves and Guggenheim in a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for the Global Diversified Income Fund, as compared to each strategy’s relevant benchmark index. The Board concluded, based on this information, that investment performance of each subadvisor was expected to be satisfactory.

The Board considered the subadvisory fees proposed to be paid to each subadvisor. The Board compared each proposed fee schedule to that of the existing subadvisors for each Fund. The Board also considered the fees charged by each subadvisor to its other subadvisory clients with the same investment mandate. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services to be provided to the Fund under each proposed subadvisory agreement. The Board noted that the Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves fee schedules each include breakpoints and concluded that each fee schedule reflects an appropriate recognition of economies of scale at the Fund’s current asset level. In evaluating the factor of profitability, the Board considered that the Manager will compensate each subadvisor from its own management fees and the Manager had negotiated the subadvisory agreement with Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves at arm’s-length. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable.

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits to be received by the subadvisors.

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the subadvisory agreements were fair and reasonable and that approval of the sub-advisory agreements was in the best interests of the Funds.

PRIN Subadvisory Agreement

At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve an amended subadvisory agreement between the Manager and PRIN related to a reduction in fees for the Global Diversified Income Fund.

The Board noted that at their August and earlier September meetings, in connection with annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PRIN and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN were reasonable and that approval of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN was in the best interests of the Fund. In connection with the proposal to reduce PRIN’s subadvisory fee as to the portion of the portfolio represented by commercial mortgage-backed securities, the Board considered PRIN’s representation that the fee reduction would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by PRIN and that PRIN’s obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

Reduction in Management Fees

At its June 14, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fee for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund. At its September 13, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

The Board considered the Manager’s representation that the reduction of the Fund’s management fee would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by the Manager to each Fund and that the Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

With regards to the reduction in fees for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund, the Board considered that they last approved the Management Agreement for such Funds during the annual contract renewal process that concluded at the Board’s September 2010 meeting. With regards to the reduction in fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund, the board noted that they approved the Management agreement with respect to such Funds at the September 2011meeting. They noted that during the annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Manager under the Management Agreement and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the Management Agreement were reasonable and that approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund.

GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT • ASSET ALLOCATION EXPERTISE • RETIREMENT LEADERSHIP

Nora Everett
President and CEO, Principal Funds

The sustained period of steady growth that global economies experienced during the first quarter of 2011 had slowed to a sluggish pace by August. A series of significant international events — from Japan’s massive March 11, 2011 earthquake to geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to continued concerns over government policy and economic uncertainty in the European Union and the U.S. — eventually took a toll on international and domestic economies. Stock markets tended to follow suit, subjecting investors to a bumpy ride. By October, the slowdown appeared to have eased somewhat in the U.S., and equity markets rallied as moderately positive economic results and optimism over constructive resolutions in Europe lessened investor worries.

In terms of your portfolio, we encourage you to maintain a diversified investment program — especially in light of the heightened market volatility. To potentially reduce your risk of loss (or of missed opportunity) due to investing too heavily in any one asset class, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to ensure your portfolio is spread across and within a range of asset classes. In doing so, we suggest you take into consideration your time horizon for each of your financial goals as well as your tolerance for investment risk.1

Investments to help you reach for your goals

To help you achieve your financial goals, we offer funds covering a wide range of investment needs and levels of risk, for all stages in life — whether you are investing for goals that are years down the road (such as retirement) or closer at hand (such as purchasing a home). We also offer investments structured to potentially provide income you can use today (for example, to help meet monthly income needs if you are already retired).

Within our fund family, you have clear choices for diversifying your portfolio. You can select a mix of our individual funds, or you can choose one of our target-risk or target-date asset allocation funds, each of which is already broadly diversified. You can rely on our asset allocation expertise, as we are the fifth-largest provider of lifecycle funds in the industry (target-risk and target-date funds combined), with one of the longest track records.2 Whatever your financial goals, we have a wide range of mutual funds to help you succeed.

On behalf of everyone at Principal Funds, I thank you for your continued support.


Nora Everett, President and CEO
Principal Funds

About our target-date funds

Our target-date funds invest in underlying Principal Funds and each is managed toward a particular target (retirement) date, or the approximate date the participant or investor starts withdrawing money. As each of our target-date funds approaches its target date, the investment mix becomes more conservative by increasing exposure to generally more conservative investment options and reducing exposure to typically more aggressive investment options. The asset allocation for each target-date fund is regularly re-adjusted within a timeframe that extends 10-15 years beyond the target date, at which point it reaches its most conservative allocation. Our target-date funds assume the value of the investor’s account will be withdrawn gradually during retirement. Neither the principal nor the underlying assets of our target-date funds is guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Investment risk remains at all times.

1 Asset allocation/diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Economic & Financial Market Review

The 12-month period ending October 31, 2011 was marked by extreme swings — both up and down — in markets around the world, driven by global economic and political concerns. The period began with a market rally that persisted into early 2011, despite a series of significant international events that dominated the news — from Japan’s devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resultant tsunami on March 11th to geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to continued concerns over government policy and economic uncertainty in the European Union and the U.S.

However, the global economy hit a “soft patch” in the second quarter of 2011 that continued through the end of September, with growth moderating throughout the European Union, Asia and the U.S. Stock markets tended to follow suit, subjecting investors to a bumpy ride. Key reasons for the sluggish growth included the sudden drop in Japan’s production following the massive earthquake. Supply chain disruptions caused by the disaster slowed global growth as critical components and products exported by Japan suddenly became unavailable.

Also contributing to the global economic slowdown and heightened market volatility were ongoing sovereign debt concerns in Europe, triggered by troubles in Greece and economic policy issues in both Europe and the U.S. In Europe, investors became increasingly concerned as the debt situation in Greece worsened. Greece faced potential bankruptcy in mid-July without passage of additional austerity measures required in order to obtain the country’s next tranche of bailout money. At the end of June, Greece finally passed a $40 billion austerity package amid massive protests by its citizens. This move calmed jittery markets that had worried about a potential default.1

The ongoing situation in Greece brought increasing attention to the financial state of European banks in general. Of the approximately 330 billion Euros of outstanding Greek debt at the end of June, European banks held about 17.2 billion Euros of Greek debt maturing by the end of 2013. German and French banks began drawing the greatest investor scrutiny, as their large holdings of Greek debt could potentially cause material damage to these banks should Greece default.2 The worst-case fear was that a default in Greece could set off a contagion within the European banking system, leading to global depression.

In the U.S., policy makers spent much of the summer mired in a debate over the country’s debt ceiling. Uncertainty surrounding their ability to reach an agreement weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Even though legislators eventually reached a deal, the damage had been done to the markets. After moving sideways from February through mid-July, markets began an abrupt sell-off in late July that shaved 13.9% off the S&P 500 Index and 19.9% off the broad international market for the third quarter.3

Following the substantial losses of previous months, the markets rallied sharply in October, erasing the losses experienced earlier in the fiscal year. European Union policy makers announced a more comprehensive plan to dig their “problem child” Greece out of the oppressive debt with which it was laden and to ensure the solvency of all European banks holding Greek bonds. Global markets rallied strongly with the news.

As a result, despite weakness in the middle of the fiscal year, U.S. stocks were up 7.9% for the one-year period ending October 31. Large and mid-cap stocks outperformed small-caps, and growth stocks significantly outpaced value stocks during the period. Stocks in the energy sector performed best, reflecting in part an increase in crude oil prices from $82.95 to $93.19 during the period.4 Meanwhile, in the face of regulatory uncertainty and tremendous volatility, financial stocks trailed materially.5

Fixed income investments lagged the broad U.S. stock market, yet still managed positive returns for the year. Investment-grade corporate bonds (up 6.14%) and high-yield corporate bonds (up 5.16%) generated the strongest gains; this in part reflected investors’ search for yield in a low-interest-rate environment and their willingness to take on risk within these sectors, where fundamentals were favorable. Commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities also delivered positive results, returning 4.69% and 4.53%, respectively.6

The slope of the yield curve remained relatively stable as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from 2.63% to 2.11%, while the 2-year Treasury yield fell from 0.35% to 0.25%.7 These results masked the volatility experienced in the interest rate market during the period. Rates had marched upward through December 2010, hitting a high of 3.72% before falling sharply during 2011 to close out the fiscal year as macro concerns in the U.S. and Europe cast gloom on the market. Confirmation from the Federal Reserve that interest rates would remain at “exceptionally low levels” into 2013 served to further anchor short-term rates.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The Principal LifeTime Funds invest wholly in the Institutional class shares of the underlying funds. Any specific performance comparisons of the underlying funds correspond to that share class.

Within the Principal LifeTime portfolios, the LargeCap Growth Fund I, co-sub-advised by T. Rowe Price and Brown Advisory, benefited overall results by performing well for the 12-month period, beating the Russell 1000 Index. Strong stock selection in the portfolios' allocation to small-cap stocks also added to returns for the period. Within the fixed income sector, the Core Plus Bond Fund I, sub-advised by PIMCO, underperformed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index due to large positions in non-U.S. government issues relative to the index. Also, the Preferred Securities Fund, sub-advised by Spectrum, suffered from a loss in the third quarter of 2011 that brought the fund's third-quarter and 12-month returns below the returns of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The Principal LifeTime Funds invest wholly in the Institutional class shares of the underlying funds. Any specific performance comparisons of the underlying funds correspond to that share class.

Within the Principal LifeTime portfolios, the LargeCap Growth Fund I, co-sub-advised by T. Rowe Price and Brown Advisory, benefited overall results by performing well for the 12-month period, beating the Russell 1000 Index. Strong stock selection in the portfolios' allocation to small-cap stocks also added to returns for the period. Within the fixed income sector, the Core Plus Bond Fund I, sub-advised by PIMCO, underperformed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index due to large positions in non-U.S. government issues relative to the index. Also, the Preferred Securities Fund, sub-advised by Spectrum, suffered from a loss in the third quarter of 2011 that brought the fund's third-quarter and 12-month returns below the returns of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.

What contributed to or detracted from Portfolio performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The Principal Strategic Asset Management (SAM) Portfolios invest wholly in the institutional class shares of the underlying funds.

The portfolio's core underweight to large-cap value stocks (relative to its benchmark) helped performance, as these securities underperformed growth stocks during the 12-month period. Security selection among international (developed market) value stocks aided performance as well. The portfolio's allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) was another positive factor. The portfolio's core allocation to international (developed market) stocks was a negative factor, as these securities struggled during the period. Additionally, the portfolio's tactical overweight to stocks (compared to its long-term core) was a net negative factor because of stock market declines between May and September 2011. The core allocation to high-yield securities also detracted; though high yield outperformed other fixed income assets early in the period, underperformance in recent months produced a net negative contribution for the 12-month timeframe.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011

1. Organization

Principal Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series fund in the mutual fund industry. The financial statements for Principal LifeTime 2010 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2020 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2030 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2040 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2050 Fund, Principal LifeTime Strategic Income Fund (collectively, the “Principal LifeTime Funds”), SAM Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Growth Portfolio, SAM Flexible Income Portfolio, and SAM Strategic Growth Portfolio (collectively, the “SAM Portfolios”) (known as the "Funds") are presented herein. The Funds may offer up to ten classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Class A, Class B, and Class C shares. Certain detailed financial information for the Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares is provided separately.

Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares of the Funds are no longer available for purchase (including investments through an automated investment plan), except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments. Class B shareholders may continue to hold such shares until they automatically convert to Class A shares. Shareholders who owned Class B shares on February 26, 2010 will still receive dividend reinvestments and may continue to exchange their shares for other Fund’s Class B shares in accordance with the Funds’ current policies. All other features of Class B shares, including 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, contingent deferred sales charge schedules, and conversion features, remain unchanged and continue in effect.

All classes of shares for each of the Funds represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by the Fund’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors declares separate dividends on each class of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Security Valuation. The Funds invest in Institutional Class shares of other series of Principal Funds, Inc. (the "Underlying Funds"). Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation.

Income and Investment Transactions. The Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The Funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. The Funds allocate daily all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributed to one of the Funds are charged to that Fund. Other expenses not directly attributed to one of the Funds are apportioned among the registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”).

In addition to the expenses that each of the Funds bear directly, each of the Funds indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense levels and each of the Funds may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expense incurred indirectly by each of the Funds will vary. Management fees are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. Expenses specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class and are included separately in the statements of operations. Expenses included in the statements of operations of the Funds reflect the expenses of each of the Funds and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gain from investments are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as return of capital distributions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Federal Income Taxes. No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each of the Funds intends to qualify 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.

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that each tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Funds did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years from 2008-2011. No examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, entities will need to disclose the following: 1) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for those transfers, and 2) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used, a description of the entity’s valuation processes, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs and the interrelationship between inputs. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since October 31, 2011, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

3. Operating Policies

Indemnification. Under the Fund’s by-laws, present and past officers, directors and employees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into a variety of contracts that may contain representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

Line of Credit. The Funds participate with other registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with three banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $150 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Fed Funds Rate or LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at an annual rate of .08% on the amount of the line of credit. The Funds did not borrow against the line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2011.

4. Fair Valuation

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.

48



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011

4. Fair Valuation (Continued)

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.

The beginning of the period timing recognition is being adopted for the significant transfers between levels of each Fund’s assets and liabilities. As of October 31, 2011 there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

As of October 31, 2011, 100% of each of the Funds’ investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

5. Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates

Management Services. The Funds have agreed to pay investment advisory and management fees to Principal Management Corporation (wholly owned by Principal Financial Services, Inc.). A portion of the management fee is paid by Principal Management Corporation to the sub-advisor of each of the Funds, which are affiliates of the Manager. The annual rate paid by each of the Principal LifeTime Funds is 0.03% of each of the Principal LifeTime Funds’ average net assets. The annual rate paid by the SAM Portfolios is based upon the aggregate average daily net assets (“aggregate net assets”) of the SAM Portfolios. The investment advisory and management fee schedule for the SAM Portfolios is .55% of aggregate net assets up to $500 million, .50% of the next $500 million of aggregate net assets, .45% of the next $1 billion of aggregate net assets, .40% of the next $1 billion of aggregate net assets, .35% of the next $1 billion of aggregate net assets, .30% of the next $1 billion of aggregate net assets and .25% of aggregate net assets over $5 billion.

In addition to the management fee, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares of the Funds pay the Manager a service fee and an administrative service fee computed at an annual percentage rate of each class’s average daily net assets. The annual rates for the service fee are .25%, .25%, .25%, .25%, and .25% and the annual rates for the administrative service fee are .28%, .20%, .07%, .03%, and .01% for R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5, respectively. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, and Institutional shares of the Funds reimburse Principal Shareholder Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) (wholly owned by the Manager) for transfer agent services.

Distribution Fees. The Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 shares of the Funds bear distribution fees. The fee is computed at an annual rate of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of each of the Funds. Distribution fees are paid to Principal Funds Distributor, Inc., the principal distributor of the Funds. A portion of the distribution fee may be paid to other selling dealers for providing certain services. The annual rates are .25%, 1.00%, 1.00%, .45%, .35%, .30%, .25%, and .10% for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 classes of shares, respectively.

Sales Charges. Principal Funds Distributor, Inc., as the principal distributor, receives proceeds of any CDSC on certain Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class J share redemptions. The charge for Class A shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase that were originally sold without a sales charge. The charge for Class B shares is based on declining rates which begin at 5.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares being redeemed within 24 months of purchase. After 24 months, the rate declines and is eliminated after 5 years. The charge for Class C shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The charge for Class J shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase. Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. also retains sales charges on sales of Class A shares based on declining rates which begin at 3.75% for Principal LifeTime Strategic Income Fund and SAM Flexible Income Portfolio and 5.50% for all other Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Principal Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Principal LifeTime 2010 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2020 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2030 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2040 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2050 Fund, Principal LifeTime Strategic Income Fund, SAM Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Growth Portfolio, SAM Flexible Income Portfolio, and SAM Strategic Growth Portfolio, (11 of the portfolios constituting Principal Funds, Inc. (collectively, the “Funds”)), as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent of the affiliated funds. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds listed above constituting portfolios within Principal Funds, Inc., at October 31, 2011, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011 (unaudited)

As a shareholder of Principal Funds, Inc., you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. As a shareholder of Principal LifeTime 2010 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2020 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2030 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2040 Fund, Principal LifeTime 2050 Fund, Principal LifeTime Strategic Income Fund, SAM Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Balanced Portfolio, SAM Conservative Growth Portfolio, SAM Flexible Income Portfolio, or SAM Strategic Growth Portfolio, your fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the investment companies in which the fund invests. These expenses are not included in the fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expenses paid in this example. If they were, the expenses paid would be higher.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011), unless otherwise noted.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual fee of $15.00 or $30.00 may apply to IRA accounts and 403(b) accounts, respectively. These fees are not included in the table below. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Directors considered to be “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as shown below are considered to be interested because of an affiliation with the Manager and Principal Life Insurance Company.

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc.

(“Reaves”), Inc. for the Global Diversified Income Fund; and (7) an amended and restated Management Agreement with Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”) related to changes in the fee schedules of the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, California Municipal Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

Annual Review and Renewal of Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements.

At its September 13, 2010 meeting, the Board performed its annual review and renewal process relating to the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements for all Funds.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires the Board, including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreements and who are not “interested persons” of PFI, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually to review and to consider the continuation of: (1) the Management Agreement between the Manager and PFI, on behalf of each of the sixty-four (64) series of PFI (each series is referred to as a “Fund”) (2) the Subadvisory Agreements between the Manager and each of AllianceBernstein L.P.; American Century Investment Management, Inc.; Inc.; Barrow Hanley Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC; BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; Brown Investment Advisory Incorporated; Causeway Capital Management LLC.; Clearbridge Advisors, LLC; Columbus Circle Investors (“Columbus Circle”); Dimensional Fund Advisors LP; Edge Asset Management Inc. (“Edge”); Emerald Advisors, Inc.; Essex Investment Management Company, LLC; Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.; Guggenheim Investment Management, LLC; J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.; Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc.; Los Angeles Capital Management and Equity Research, Inc.; Mellon Capital Management Corporation; Montag & Caldwell, LLC; Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC; Pacific Investment Management Company LLC; Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“PRIN”); Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”); Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC; Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroder” and including the sub-subadvisory agreement among the Manager, Schroder and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited); Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (“Spectrum”); Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC; T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.; Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC; Turner Investment Partners, Inc.; Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, LP; and Westwood Management Corp. (collectively, the “Subadvisors”). The Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. In evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including Independent Directors, reviewed a broad range of information requested for this purpose by the Independent Directors, including, among other information, information regarding performance, advisory fees, total expenses, profitability from the Advisory Agreements to the Manager and information about economies of scale. The Board reviewed the materials provided and, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, concluded that it was provided all information reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under the Management Agreement, including administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under the Management Agreement and the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Manager to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Manager. The Board concluded that appropriate resources were provided under the Management Agreement. The Board also considered that, during the periods reviewed, other than for the “Core” portions of the Funds implementing the “Core Satellite” structure, the Manager had delegated day-to-day portfolio management responsibility to the Subadvisors, and they considered the due diligence program developed by the Manager for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing Subadvisors. The Board also took note that the Manager applied the same due diligence standards to its personnel’s management of the “Core” portfolio. The Board concluded that this due diligence process was working well. The Board also considered the compliance program established by the Manager and the level of compliance attained by the Funds. The Board noted that they had previously reviewed the annual best execution and soft dollar reports and found no issues that needed to be considered in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Subadvisor, investment approach of the Subadvisor, the experience and skills of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the Subadvisors’ compliance with investment policies and general legal compliance. In addition, the Board considered the analysis provided under the Manager’s due-diligence program, which resulted in the Manager recommending that each Subadvisory Agreement be continued.

95



Investment Performance

The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over longer-term periods (both for a blended three- and five-year period and for a three-year period), and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including peer group data based upon a broad-based, industry category determined by Morningstar. For Funds or Subadvisors that did not have a three-year or five-year history, the Board reviewed performance for a one-year or three-year period, as applicable. The Board also considered whether investment results were consistent with a Fund’s investment objective(s) and policies. For most Funds, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment returns met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance. There were some Funds, or certain Subadvisors for a multi-manager Fund, that had not attained during the relevant period a level of investment performance considered satisfactory by the Board. For such Funds, the Board also considered the longer-term performance of the Funds. The Board concluded that the Manager has in place an effective due diligence process to monitor investment performance, to encourage remedial action and to make changes in the Subadvisor at the appropriate time, if necessary.

As to each Fund, the Manager had advised the Board that the investment services delivered by each Subadvisor to the Fund were reasonable, the Subadvisor’s longer-term track record justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring or sufficient remedial steps had been taken by the Subadvisor that it justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring. The Board noted that with respect to certain PFI Funds, the longer-term underperformance was due to the performance of such Funds’ previous Subadvisors, that the Manager had recommended, and the Board had approved, replacing the previous Subadvisors and that performance has improved, or was expected to improve. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that either: (i) the investment performance of each Subadvisor either met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance; or (ii) although the Fund experienced underperformance from the subject Subadvisor, based upon that Fund’s particular circumstances, it was in the best interests of the Fund to continue to closely monitor performance and to renew the Subadvisory Agreement. In each case involving underperformance, the Board concluded that the Manager was providing effective monitoring.

Investment Management Fees

The Board considered each Fund’s management fees. The Board received information, based on data supplied by Lipper, comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee (at current asset levels and at theoretical asset levels), actual (after fee waivers) management fee (at current asset levels), actual non-management fees (at current asset levels) and actual total expense ratio (at current asset levels for Class A shares) to advisory fees and expense ratios of mutual funds in a narrow peer group independently selected by Lipper (“Expense Group”) and a broad-based, industry category defined by Lipper (“Expense Universe”). For Funds that did not offer Class A shares or if Class A shares represented less than 5% of the Fund’s total Assets, the information provided was based upon Class I shares.

In evaluating the management fees, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the amount of the fees, breakpoints, comparison to fees of peer group funds and to other funds managed by the Manager, subadvisory fees paid, services provided, investment performance, total net expense ratios, profitability and expense caps and fee waivers. For most Funds, actual management fees and net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better when compared to their Expense Group. For some Funds, although actual management fees were higher than the third quartile, total net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better. The Board considered specific factors relevant to its review of certain Funds with both actual management fees and total net expenses higher than the third quartile as compared to their Expense Group. For the SAM Portfolios, the Board determined that the Manager’s unique active asset allocation strategy justified higher management fees than the Funds’ peer groups and that the total expense ratios (including the expenses of the underlying funds) compare favorably. The Board considered that some Funds have different management fees from certain other comparable funds managed by the Manager and noted the reasons cited by the Manager for the differing fees.

The Board also considered that the Manager contractually agreed to continue to reduce the management fees for thirteen Funds that have implemented the “Core Satellite” structure. The Board also took into consideration certain fee reductions.

With respect to the Board’s review of the expense caps in place with respect to certain Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s proposals to extend the expense caps in place for most of such Funds for an additional year, to raise the expense cap levels for one Fund and to let expense caps for certain other Funds expire, based upon the individual circumstances of these Funds.

Considering all factors it deemed relevant, the Board concluded that the management fee schedule for each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services provided by the Manager and other relevant factors.

Profitability

The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues the Manager receives under the Management Agreement, as well as the estimated direct and indirect costs the Manager incurs in providing to each Fund the services described in the Management Agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Board also considered the returns on revenue generated in connection with the payment of subadvisory fees to affiliated Subadvisors (PGI, PRIN, Edge, Columbus Circle and Spectrum). The Board concluded that the management fee for each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the profitability percentages the Manager provided.

96



Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. The Board noted as a part of the contract review process, management offered additional breakpoints for five Funds. The Board then reviewed the levels at which breakpoints occur and the amount of the reductions. The Board considered whether the effective management fee rate for each Fund under the Management Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of such Fund. The Board concluded that the fee schedule for each Fund reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale.

The Board noted that the management fees for the LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, MidCap S&P 400 Index Fund, SmallCap S&P 600 Index Fund and the LifeTime Funds series of PFI do not include breakpoints. Although their management fee schedules do not contain breakpoints, the Board noted that each of these Funds has a relatively low basis point fee for all Fund assets.

Subadvisory Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

For each Fund the Board considered the subadvisory fees, noting that the Manager compensates each Subadvisor from its own management fee, so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board also received industry data supplied by Lipper. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services provided to each Fund and, if so, whether the subadvisory fees reflect such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. In addition, in evaluating the subadvisory fees and the factor of profitability, with respect to unaffiliated Subadvisors, the Board considered that the subadvisory fee rate was negotiated at arm’s-length between the Manager and each Subadvisor. The Board considered the profitability of the affiliated Subadvisors in conjunction with their review of the profitability of the Manager.

Other Benefits to the Manager and Subadvisors

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates and each Subadvisor from their relationships with the Funds. The Board also considered as a part of this analysis each Subadvisor’s soft dollar practices and brokerage practices. The Board concluded that management and subadvisory fees for each Fund were reasonable in light of these benefits.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information it considered and the conclusions it reached, the Board determined unanimously that the terms of each Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of each Advisory Agreement, with the actions proposed by the Manager, is in the best interests of each Fund.

Guggenheim, Reaves, PGI, and Herndon Subadvisory Agreements

At its June 14, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Herndon for the LargeCap Value Fund I and an amended sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and PGI for the California Municipal Fund and the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund. At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Reaves for the Global Diversified Income Fund and a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Guggenheim for the Global Diversified Income Fund. The LargeCap Value Fund I, California Municipal Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and Global Diversified Income Fund are referred to as a “Fund” or together as the “Funds.”

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided under each subadvisory agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of each subadvisor, investment approach of each subadvisor, the experience and skills of each subadvisor’s investment personnel who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board noted that PGI provides subadvisory services for other series of PFI and that an affiliate of Guggenheim currently provides subadvisory services for the high yield bond segment of the Global Diversified Income Fund. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing subadvisors for the Funds and that the Manager recommended each subadvisor for the applicable Fund based upon that program.

97



With respect to PGI, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a fund with an investment strategy similar to the PFI Tax-Exempt Bond Fund that was previously managed by the lead portfolio manager of the proposed investment team of PGI, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of such fund’s historical and projected risk/return profile and considered the investment philosophy of the PGI investment team. With respect to Herndon, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for LargeCap Value I, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of the impact Herndon’s performance would have had on LargeCap Value I’s risk-adjusted excess returns over the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011. The Board reviewed the historical one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year or since inception performance as of June 30, 2011 of Reaves and Guggenheim in a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for the Global Diversified Income Fund, as compared to each strategy’s relevant benchmark index. The Board concluded, based on this information, that investment performance of each subadvisor was expected to be satisfactory.

The Board considered the subadvisory fees proposed to be paid to each subadvisor. The Board compared each proposed fee schedule to that of the existing subadvisors for each Fund. The Board also considered the fees charged by each subadvisor to its other subadvisory clients with the same investment mandate. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services to be provided to the Fund under each proposed subadvisory agreement. The Board noted that the Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves fee schedules each include breakpoints and concluded that each fee schedule reflects an appropriate recognition of economies of scale at the Fund’s current asset level. In evaluating the factor of profitability, the Board considered that the Manager will compensate each subadvisor from its own management fees and the Manager had negotiated the subadvisory agreement with Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves at arm’s-length. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable.

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits to be received by the subadvisors.

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the subadvisory agreements were fair and reasonable and that approval of the sub-advisory agreements was in the best interests of the Funds.

PRIN Subadvisory Agreement

At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve an amended subadvisory agreement between the Manager and PRIN related to a reduction in fees for the Global Diversified Income Fund.

The Board noted that at their August and earlier September meetings, in connection with annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PRIN and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN were reasonable and that approval of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN was in the best interests of the Fund. In connection with the proposal to reduce PRIN’s subadvisory fee as to the portion of the portfolio represented by commercial mortgage-backed securities, the Board considered PRIN’s representation that the fee reduction would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by PRIN and that PRIN’s obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

Reduction in Management Fees

At its June 14, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fee for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund. At its September 13, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

The Board considered the Manager’s representation that the reduction of the Fund’s management fee would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by the Manager to each Fund and that the Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

With regards to the reduction in fees for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund, the Board considered that they last approved the Management Agreement for such Funds during the annual contract renewal process that concluded at the Board’s September 2010 meeting. With regards to the reduction in fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund, the board noted that they approved the Management agreement with respect to such Funds at the September 2011meeting. They noted that during the annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Manager under the Management Agreement and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the Management Agreement were reasonable and that approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund.

GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT • ASSET ALLOCATION EXPERTISE • RETIREMENT LEADERSHIP

Nora Everett
President and CEO, Principal Funds

The sustained period of steady growth that global economies experienced during the first quarter of 2011 had slowed to a sluggish pace by August. A series of significant international events — from Japan’s massive March 11, 2011 earthquake to geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa to continued concerns over government policy and economic uncertainty in the European Union and the U.S. — eventually took a toll on international and domestic economies. Stock markets tended to follow suit, subjecting investors to a bumpy ride. By October, the slowdown appeared to have eased somewhat in the U.S., and equity markets rallied as moderately positive economic results and optimism over constructive resolutions in Europe lessened investor worries.

In terms of your portfolio, we encourage you to maintain a diversified investment program — especially in light of the heightened market volatility. To potentially reduce your risk of loss (or of missed opportunity) due to investing too heavily in any one asset class, we encourage you to work with your financial professional to ensure your portfolio is spread across and within a range of asset classes. In doing so, we suggest you take into consideration your time horizon for each of your financial goals as well as your tolerance for investment risk.1

Investments to help you reach for your goals

To help you achieve your financial goals, we offer funds covering a wide range of investment needs and levels of risk, for all stages in life — whether you are investing for goals that are years down the road (such as retirement) or closer at hand (such as purchasing a home). We also offer investments structured to potentially provide income you can use today (for example, to help meet monthly income needs if you are already retired).

Within our fund family, you have clear choices for diversifying your portfolio. You can select a mix of our individual funds, or you can choose one of our target-risk or target-date asset allocation funds, each of which is already broadly diversified. You can rely on our asset allocation expertise, as we are the fifth-largest provider of lifecycle funds in the industry (target-risk and target-date funds combined), with one of the longest track records.2 Whatever your financial goals, we have a wide range of mutual funds to help you succeed.

On behalf of everyone at Principal Funds, I thank you for your continued support.

About our target-date funds

Our target-date funds invest in underlying Principal Funds and each is managed toward a particular target (retirement) date, or the approximate date the participant or investor starts withdrawing money. As each of our target-date funds approaches its target date, the investment mix becomes more conservative by increasing exposure to generally more conservative investment options and reducing exposure to typically more aggressive investment options. The asset allocation for each target-date fund is regularly re-adjusted within a timeframe that extends 10-15 years beyond the target date, at which point it reaches its most conservative allocation. Our target-date funds assume the value of the investor’s account will be withdrawn gradually during retirement. Neither the principal nor the underlying assets of our target-date funds is guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Investment risk remains at all times.

1 Asset allocation/diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Money Market Fund

Portfolio Managers:

Principal Global Investors, Inc.

What contributed to or detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year? 

 

The portfolio performed in line with its peer group. The portfolio's allocation to Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs) continued to benefit performance, as the yields on VRDNs were higher than the yields on other investment options. The portfolio also tried to maintain a longer-weighted average-days-to-maturity than its peers, which enabled the portfolio to purchase more securities with longer maturity dates and higher yields. Due to the uncertainty in Europe and European banks, the portfolio reduced exposure to these entities during the period; the portfolio's lower exposure than its peers (and significantly reduced exposure relative to the industry) effectively decreased overall portfolio yield.

* Variable rate demand notes are debt instruments representing borrowed funds that are payable on demand and accrue interest based on a prevailing money market rate.

Investment results shown represent historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Your investment’s returns and principal values will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so the value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance shown. For more information, including the most recent month-end performance, visit principalfunds.com, call your financial professional, or call 800-222-5852.

A contingent deferred sales charge may apply as follows: Class J shares: 1% on redemptions made during the first 18 months. See the prospectus for details. Performance listed with sales charge reflects the maximum sales charge.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The 7-day simple yield more closely reflects current fund earnings than the total return data.

* Performance assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Extended performance is calculated based on the historical performance of the Fund’s oldest share class, adjusted for the fees and expenses of the share class shown. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower.

** Principal has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a 0% yield. The voluntary expense limit may be terminated at any time.

*** The 7-day simple yield is calculated based on the income generated by an investment in the fund over a 7-day period and is expressed as an annual percentage rate. The 7-day effective yield is calculated similarly to the 7-day simple yield but assumes that income earned from the fund’s investment is reinvested and compounded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011

1. Organization

Principal Funds, Inc. is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company and operates in the mutual fund industry. The financial statements for Money Market Fund are presented herein. Money Market Fund offers ten classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Class J shares. Certain detailed information for the other classes of shares is provided separately.

The sole shareholder of the Class S shares of the Fund redeemed all shares in November 2009. On November 23, 2009 the Class S shares ceased operations.

Effective December 20, 2009, Money Market Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Ultra Short Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by the shareholders on December 15, 2009. The purpose of the acquisition was to combine two funds managed by Principal Management Corporation with similar investment objectives, principal policies, and risks. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 19,180,000 shares from Ultra Short Bond Fund for 134,909,000 shares valued at $134,909,000 of Money Market Fund at an approximate exchange rate of 7.04, 7.04, 6.99, 7.04, 6.99, 6.99, 7.01, 6.98, 7.03, for Class A, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares, respectively. The investment securities of Ultra Short Bond Fund, with a fair value of approximately $131,525,000 and a cost of $131,913,000 at December 20, 2009 were the primary assets acquired by Money Market Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Money Market Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Ultra Short Bond Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Money Market Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of Ultra Short Bond Fund and Money Market Fund immediately prior to the acquisition were approximately $134,909,000 (including approximately $64,643,000 of accumulated realized losses) and $1,544,659,000, respectively. The aggregate net assets of Money Market Fund immediately following the acquisition were $1,679,568,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitation. Approximately $23,196,000 of the capital loss carryforward expired at October 31, 2010.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the fiscal year for Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010, would have been $33,000 of net investment income, $3,306,000 of net realized and unrealized gain on investments, and $3,339,000 of net increase in net assets resulting from operations. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Ultra Short Bond Fund that have been included in Money Market Fund’s statement of operations since December 20, 2009.

Effective March 1, 2010, Class B shares of the Fund are no longer available for purchase (including investments through an automated investment plan), except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments. Class B shareholders may continue to hold such shares until they automatically convert to Class A shares. Shareholders who owned Class B shares on February 26, 2010 will still receive dividend reinvestments and may continue to exchange their shares for other Fund’s Class B shares in accordance with the Funds’ current policies. All other features of Class B shares, including 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees, contingent deferred sales charge schedules, and conversion features, remain unchanged and continue in effect.

All classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. In addition, the Board of Directors declares separate dividends on each class of shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

The Fund values its securities, other than holdings of other mutual funds, at amortized cost, which approximates market, as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Other mutual funds are valued at the funds’ net asset value. 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 Fund.

Income and Investment Transactions. The Fund records investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Fund allocates daily all income and realized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the number of settled shares outstanding of each class.

The Fund’s investments are with various issuers in various industries. The schedule of investments contained herein summarizes concentration of credit risk by issuer and industry.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributed to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other Fund expenses not directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds managed by Principal Management Corporation.

The Fund allocates daily all expenses (other than class-specific expenses) to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the number of settled shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses charged to each class during the year ended October 31, 2011, are included separately in the statement of operations.

Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund declares all net investment income and any net realized gains from investment transactions as dividends daily to settled shares of record as of that day. Dividends from net investment income and net realized gain from investments are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal Income Taxes. No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because the 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.

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that each tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Fund did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open to examine the Fund’s U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years from 2008-2011. No examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, entities will need to disclose the following: 1) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for those transfers, and 2) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used, a description of the entity’s valuation processes, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs and the interrelationship between inputs. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-04 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since October 31, 2011, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

3. Operating Policies

Indemnification. Under the Fund’s by-laws present and past officers, directors and employees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties. In addition, in the normal course of business the Fund may enter into a variety of contracts that may contain representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

3. Operating Policies (Continued)

Line of Credit. The Fund participates with other registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with three banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $150 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the higher of the Fed Funds Rate or LIBOR Rate plus 1.00%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at an annual rate of .08% on the amount of the line of credit. The Fund did not borrow against the line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2011.

4. Fair Valuation

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund 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 Fund uses 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 Fund. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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 Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date.

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 Rule 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.

The beginning of the period timing recognition is being adopted for the significant transfers between levels of each Fund’s assets and liabilities. As of October 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

As of October 31, 2011, 100% of the Fund’s investments were valued based on Level 2 inputs, with the exception of publically traded investment funds, which is based on a Level 1 input.

5. Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates

Management Services. The Fund has agreed to pay investment advisory and management fees to Principal Management Corporation (wholly owned by Principal Financial Services, Inc.) computed at an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets. A portion of the management fee is paid by Principal Management Corporation to the sub-advisor of the Fund, which is an affiliate of the Manager. The annual rates used in this calculation for the Fund are as follows:

Net Assets of Fund (in millions)

First  Next  Next  Next  Next $1  Over $3 
$500  $500  $500  $500  billion  billion 
.40%  .39%  .38%  .37%  .36%  .35% 

 

In addition to the management fee, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 classes of shares of the Funds pay the Manager a service fee and an administrative service fee computed at an annual percentage rate of each class’s average daily net assets. The annual rates for the service fee are .25%, .25%, .25%, .25%, and .25% and the annual rates for the administrative service fee are .28%, .20%, .07%, .03%, and .01% for R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5, respectively. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class J and Institutional shares of the Funds reimburse Principal Shareholder Services, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) (wholly owned by the Manager) for transfer agent services.

The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses on certain share classes of the Fund. The reductions and reimbursements are in amounts that maintain total operating expenses at or below certain limits. The limits are expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets attributable to each respective class on an annualized basis. The operating expense limit for Class B and Class C shares is 1.55% and 1.79%, respectively. The expense limits will expire on February 29, 2012.

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses on certain share classes of the Fund. The reductions and reimbursements are in amounts that maintain total operating expenses at or below certain limits. The limits are expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets attributable to each respective class on an annualized basis. The operating expense limit for Institutional Class shares is .43% and may be terminated at any time. In addition, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses for all classes of shares to the extent necessary to maintain a 0% yield. The voluntary expense limit may be terminated at any time.

Distribution Fees. The Class B, Class C, Class J, R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 shares of the Fund bear distribution fees. The fee is computed at an annual rate of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of the Fund. Distribution fees are paid to Principal Funds Distributor, Inc., the principal distributor of the Fund, a portion of the distribution fees may be paid to other selling dealers for providing certain services. The annual rates are 1.00%, 1.00%, .25%, .35%, .30%, .25% and .10% for Class B, Class C, Class J, R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 Classes of shares, respectively.

Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s distribution fees attributable to certain share classes of the Fund. The limit will maintain the level of distribution fees (expressed as a percent of average net assets on an annualized basis) not to exceed .75% for Class B and 0% for Class C, R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4 shares, respectively. The limit may be terminated at any time.

Sales Charges. Principal Funds Distributor, Inc., as the principal distributor, receives proceeds of any CDSC on certain Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class J share redemptions. The charge for Class A shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase that were sold originally without a sales charge. The charge for Class B shares is based on declining rates which begin at 5.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares being redeemed within 24 months of purchase. After 24 months, the rate declines and is eliminated after 5 years. The charge for Class C shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The charge for Class J shares is 1.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase. The aggregate amounts of these charges retained by Principal Funds Distributor, Inc. for the year ended October 31, 2011, were $10,000, $57,000, $9,000, and $136,000 for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class J shares, respectively.

Affiliated Ownership. At October 31, 2011, Principal Life Insurance Company (an affiliate of the Manager), the Manager, Principal Funds Distributor, Inc., Princor Financial Services Corporation, Collective Investment Trusts sponsored by Principal Trust Company, benefit plans and separate accounts sponsored on behalf of Principal Life Insurance Company, and other affiliated entities owned 11,597,000 and 2,918,000 shares of Class A and Institutional shares, respectively.

6. Capital Share Transactions

For the year ended October 31, 2011, the following table reflects the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares. The amounts are also shown in the statement of changes in net assets as shares sold and dollars sold for Class A and shares redeemed and dollars redeemed for Class B (amounts in thousands).

Distributions to Shareholders. Money Market Fund did not make any distributions for the years ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010.

Capital Loss Carryforward. Capital loss carryforwards are losses that can be used to offset future capital gains although it is unlikely the Fund will recognize future capital gains. As of October 31, 2011 the Fund had approximate net capital loss carryforwards as follows (amounts in thousands):

  Net Capital Loss Carryforward Expiring In:     
            Annual 
  2014  2015  2016  2017  Total  Limitations* 
 
Money Market Fund  $ 28 $  3,000  $ 35,617 $  2,969 $  41,614  $ 5,612 

 

*In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of Money Market Fund’s losses have been subjected to an annual limitation.

Effective for realized capital losses generated in taxable years beginning after the enactment date of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the net capital losses will be carried forward with no expiration and with the character of the loss retained. Capital losses generated in future years must be fully utilized before the pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards listed in the table above.

As of October 31, 2011, Money Market Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of $5,000.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. Money Market Fund may record reclassifications in its capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the fund. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the funds’ distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended October 31, 2011, Money Market Fund recorded a reclassification of $2,000 to Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments and ($2,000) to Paid in Capital.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Principal Funds, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Money Market Fund, (1 of the portfolios constituting Principal Funds, Inc., (the “Fund”)), as of October 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Money Market Fund of Principal Funds, Inc., at October 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
PRINCIPAL FUNDS,INC.
October 31, 2011 (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Money Market Fund of Principal Funds, Inc., you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (for Class J shares only), including contingent deferred sales charges; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011), unless otherwise noted.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. An annual fee of $15.00 or $30.00 may apply to IRA and 403(b) accounts, respectively. These fees are not included in the table below. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio for each share class and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in Principal Funds, Inc. and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

      Expenses Paid      Expenses Paid

(a) Expenses are equal to a fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

FUND DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Under Maryland law, a Board of Directors oversees the Fund. The Directors have financial or other relevant experience and meet several times during the year to review contracts, Fund activities and the quality of services provided to the Fund.

Directors considered to be “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as shown below are considered to be interested because of an affiliation with the Manager and Principal Life Insurance Company.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc.

(“Reaves”), Inc. for the Global Diversified Income Fund; and (7) an amended and restated Management Agreement with Principal Management Corporation (the “Manager”) related to changes in the fee schedules of the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, California Municipal Fund, LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

Annual Review and Renewal of Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements.

At its September 13, 2010 meeting, the Board performed its annual review and renewal process relating to the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements for all Funds.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires the Board, including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreements and who are not “interested persons” of PFI, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually to review and to consider the continuation of: (1) the Management Agreement between the Manager and PFI, on behalf of each of the sixty-four (64) series of PFI (each series is referred to as a “Fund”) (2) the Subadvisory Agreements between the Manager and each of AllianceBernstein L.P.; American Century Investment Management, Inc.; Inc.; Barrow Hanley Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC; BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; Brown Investment Advisory Incorporated; Causeway Capital Management LLC.; Clearbridge Advisors, LLC; Columbus Circle Investors (“Columbus Circle”); Dimensional Fund Advisors LP; Edge Asset Management Inc. (“Edge”); Emerald Advisors, Inc.; Essex Investment Management Company, LLC; Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.; Guggenheim Investment Management, LLC; J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.; Jacobs Levy Equity Management, Inc.; Los Angeles Capital Management and Equity Research, Inc.; Mellon Capital Management Corporation; Montag & Caldwell, LLC; Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC; Pacific Investment Management Company LLC; Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“PRIN”); Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”); Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC; Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroder” and including the sub-subadvisory agreement among the Manager, Schroder and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited); Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (“Spectrum”); Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC; T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.; Thompson Siegel & Walmsley, LLC; Turner Investment Partners, Inc.; Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, LP; and Westwood Management Corp. (collectively, the “Subadvisors”). The Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. In evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including Independent Directors, reviewed a broad range of information requested for this purpose by the Independent Directors, including, among other information, information regarding performance, advisory fees, total expenses, profitability from the Advisory Agreements to the Manager and information about economies of scale. The Board reviewed the materials provided and, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, concluded that it was provided all information reasonably necessary to evaluate the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under the Management Agreement, including administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under the Management Agreement and the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Manager to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Manager. The Board concluded that appropriate resources were provided under the Management Agreement. The Board also considered that, during the periods reviewed, other than for the “Core” portions of the Funds implementing the “Core Satellite” structure, the Manager had delegated day-to-day portfolio management responsibility to the Subadvisors, and they considered the due diligence program developed by the Manager for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing Subadvisors. The Board also took note that the Manager applied the same due diligence standards to its personnel’s management of the “Core” portfolio. The Board concluded that this due diligence process was working well. The Board also considered the compliance program established by the Manager and the level of compliance attained by the Funds. The Board noted that they had previously reviewed the annual best execution and soft dollar reports and found no issues that needed to be considered in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Subadvisor, investment approach of the Subadvisor, the experience and skills of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the Subadvisors’ compliance with investment policies and general legal compliance. In addition, the Board considered the analysis provided under the Manager’s due-diligence program, which resulted in the Manager recommending that each Subadvisory Agreement be continued.

24



Investment Performance

The Board reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over longer-term periods (both for a blended three- and five-year period and for a three-year period), and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including peer group data based upon a broad-based, industry category determined by Morningstar. For Funds or Subadvisors that did not have a three-year or five-year history, the Board reviewed performance for a one-year or three-year period, as applicable. The Board also considered whether investment results were consistent with a Fund’s investment objective(s) and policies. For most Funds, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment returns met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance. There were some Funds, or certain Subadvisors for a multi-manager Fund, that had not attained during the relevant period a level of investment performance considered satisfactory by the Board. For such Funds, the Board also considered the longer-term performance of the Funds. The Board concluded that the Manager has in place an effective due diligence process to monitor investment performance, to encourage remedial action and to make changes in the Subadvisor at the appropriate time, if necessary.

As to each Fund, the Manager had advised the Board that the investment services delivered by each Subadvisor to the Fund were reasonable, the Subadvisor’s longer-term track record justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring or sufficient remedial steps had been taken by the Subadvisor that it justified continuing the contract with more in-depth monitoring. The Board noted that with respect to certain PFI Funds, the longer-term underperformance was due to the performance of such Funds’ previous Subadvisors, that the Manager had recommended, and the Board had approved, replacing the previous Subadvisors and that performance has improved, or was expected to improve. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that either: (i) the investment performance of each Subadvisor either met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance; or (ii) although the Fund experienced underperformance from the subject Subadvisor, based upon that Fund’s particular circumstances, it was in the best interests of the Fund to continue to closely monitor performance and to renew the Subadvisory Agreement. In each case involving underperformance, the Board concluded that the Manager was providing effective monitoring.

Investment Management Fees

The Board considered each Fund’s management fees. The Board received information, based on data supplied by Lipper, comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee (at current asset levels and at theoretical asset levels), actual (after fee waivers) management fee (at current asset levels), actual non-management fees (at current asset levels) and actual total expense ratio (at current asset levels for Class A shares) to advisory fees and expense ratios of mutual funds in a narrow peer group independently selected by Lipper (“Expense Group”) and a broad-based, industry category defined by Lipper (“Expense Universe”). For Funds that did not offer Class A shares or if Class A shares represented less than 5% of the Fund’s total Assets, the information provided was based upon Class I shares.

In evaluating the management fees, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the amount of the fees, breakpoints, comparison to fees of peer group funds and to other funds managed by the Manager, subadvisory fees paid, services provided, investment performance, total net expense ratios, profitability and expense caps and fee waivers. For most Funds, actual management fees and net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better when compared to their Expense Group. For some Funds, although actual management fees were higher than the third quartile, total net expense ratios were within the third quartile or better. The Board considered specific factors relevant to its review of certain Funds with both actual management fees and total net expenses higher than the third quartile as compared to their Expense Group. For the SAM Portfolios, the Board determined that the Manager’s unique active asset allocation strategy justified higher management fees than the Funds’ peer groups and that the total expense ratios (including the expenses of the underlying funds) compare favorably. The Board considered that some Funds have different management fees from certain other comparable funds managed by the Manager and noted the reasons cited by the Manager for the differing fees.

The Board also considered that the Manager contractually agreed to continue to reduce the management fees for thirteen Funds that have implemented the “Core Satellite” structure. The Board also took into consideration certain fee reductions.

With respect to the Board’s review of the expense caps in place with respect to certain Funds, the Board considered the Manager’s proposals to extend the expense caps in place for most of such Funds for an additional year, to raise the expense cap levels for one Fund and to let expense caps for certain other Funds expire, based upon the individual circumstances of these Funds.

Considering all factors it deemed relevant, the Board concluded that the management fee schedule for each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services provided by the Manager and other relevant factors.

Profitability

The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues the Manager receives under the Management Agreement, as well as the estimated direct and indirect costs the Manager incurs in providing to each Fund the services described in the Management Agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Board also considered the returns on revenue generated in connection with the payment of subadvisory fees to affiliated Subadvisors (PGI, PRIN, Edge, Columbus Circle and Spectrum). The Board concluded that the management fee for each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the profitability percentages the Manager provided.

25



Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. The Board noted as a part of the contract review process, management offered additional breakpoints for five Funds. The Board then reviewed the levels at which breakpoints occur and the amount of the reductions. The Board considered whether the effective management fee rate for each Fund under the Management Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of such Fund. The Board concluded that the fee schedule for each Fund reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale.

The Board noted that the management fees for the LargeCap S&P 500 Index Fund, MidCap S&P 400 Index Fund, SmallCap S&P 600 Index Fund and the LifeTime Funds series of PFI do not include breakpoints. Although their management fee schedules do not contain breakpoints, the Board noted that each of these Funds has a relatively low basis point fee for all Fund assets.

Subadvisory Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

For each Fund the Board considered the subadvisory fees, noting that the Manager compensates each Subadvisor from its own management fee, so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board also received industry data supplied by Lipper. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services provided to each Fund and, if so, whether the subadvisory fees reflect such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. In addition, in evaluating the subadvisory fees and the factor of profitability, with respect to unaffiliated Subadvisors, the Board considered that the subadvisory fee rate was negotiated at arm’s-length between the Manager and each Subadvisor. The Board considered the profitability of the affiliated Subadvisors in conjunction with their review of the profitability of the Manager.

Other Benefits to the Manager and Subadvisors

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by the Manager and its affiliates and each Subadvisor from their relationships with the Funds. The Board also considered as a part of this analysis each Subadvisor’s soft dollar practices and brokerage practices. The Board concluded that management and subadvisory fees for each Fund were reasonable in light of these benefits.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information it considered and the conclusions it reached, the Board determined unanimously that the terms of each Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of each Advisory Agreement, with the actions proposed by the Manager, is in the best interests of each Fund.

Guggenheim, Reaves, PGI, and Herndon Subadvisory Agreements

At its June 14, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Herndon for the LargeCap Value Fund I and an amended sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and PGI for the California Municipal Fund and the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund. At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Reaves for the Global Diversified Income Fund and a subadvisory agreement between the Manager and Guggenheim for the Global Diversified Income Fund. The LargeCap Value Fund I, California Municipal Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and Global Diversified Income Fund are referred to as a “Fund” or together as the “Funds.”

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided under each subadvisory agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of each subadvisor, investment approach of each subadvisor, the experience and skills of each subadvisor’s investment personnel who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board noted that PGI provides subadvisory services for other series of PFI and that an affiliate of Guggenheim currently provides subadvisory services for the high yield bond segment of the Global Diversified Income Fund. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for identifying, recommending, monitoring and replacing subadvisors for the Funds and that the Manager recommended each subadvisor for the applicable Fund based upon that program.

26



With respect to PGI, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a fund with an investment strategy similar to the PFI Tax-Exempt Bond Fund that was previously managed by the lead portfolio manager of the proposed investment team of PGI, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of such fund’s historical and projected risk/return profile and considered the investment philosophy of the PGI investment team. With respect to Herndon, the Board reviewed the historical performance of a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for LargeCap Value I, as compared to a Morningstar peer group and a relevant benchmark index. The Board also reviewed an analysis of the impact Herndon’s performance would have had on LargeCap Value I’s risk-adjusted excess returns over the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2011. The Board reviewed the historical one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year or since inception performance as of June 30, 2011 of Reaves and Guggenheim in a portfolio with an investment strategy similar to that proposed for the Global Diversified Income Fund, as compared to each strategy’s relevant benchmark index. The Board concluded, based on this information, that investment performance of each subadvisor was expected to be satisfactory.

The Board considered the subadvisory fees proposed to be paid to each subadvisor. The Board compared each proposed fee schedule to that of the existing subadvisors for each Fund. The Board also considered the fees charged by each subadvisor to its other subadvisory clients with the same investment mandate. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services to be provided to the Fund under each proposed subadvisory agreement. The Board noted that the Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves fee schedules each include breakpoints and concluded that each fee schedule reflects an appropriate recognition of economies of scale at the Fund’s current asset level. In evaluating the factor of profitability, the Board considered that the Manager will compensate each subadvisor from its own management fees and the Manager had negotiated the subadvisory agreement with Herndon, Guggenheim, and Reaves at arm’s-length. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable.

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits to be received by the subadvisors.

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the subadvisory agreements were fair and reasonable and that approval of the sub-advisory agreements was in the best interests of the Funds.

PRIN Subadvisory Agreement

At its September 13, 2011 meeting, the Board considered whether to approve an amended subadvisory agreement between the Manager and PRIN related to a reduction in fees for the Global Diversified Income Fund.

The Board noted that at their August and earlier September meetings, in connection with annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PRIN and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN were reasonable and that approval of the subadvisory agreement with PRIN was in the best interests of the Fund. In connection with the proposal to reduce PRIN’s subadvisory fee as to the portion of the portfolio represented by commercial mortgage-backed securities, the Board considered PRIN’s representation that the fee reduction would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by PRIN and that PRIN’s obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

Reduction in Management Fees

At its June 14, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fee for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund. At its September 13, 2011, the Board considered whether to approve an amended and restated Management Agreement in connection with the proposal to reduce the management fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund.

The Board considered the Manager’s representation that the reduction of the Fund’s management fee would not reduce the quality or quantity of the services provided by the Manager to each Fund and that the Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement would remain the same in all material respects.

With regards to the reduction in fees for the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Fund, the Board considered that they last approved the Management Agreement for such Funds during the annual contract renewal process that concluded at the Board’s September 2010 meeting. With regards to the reduction in fees for the LargeCap Growth Fund II, International Fund I, LargeCap Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund I, MidCap Blend Fund, International Emerging Markets Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund, the board noted that they approved the Management agreement with respect to such Funds at the September 2011meeting. They noted that during the annual contract renewal process, they had considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Manager under the Management Agreement and had concluded, based on the information provided, that the terms of the Management Agreement were reasonable and that approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy. The audit committee of the registrant has adopted the following pre-approval policy:

Policy on Auditor Independence

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the independence of the Principal Funds' primary independent auditor. This policy is established by the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. and Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. (the "Funds") effective for all engagements of the primary independent auditor.

1. The primary independent auditor, its subsidiaries and affiliates shall not provide Prohibited Services to the Funds. For the purposes of this policy, Prohibited Services are:

  • Services that are subject to audit procedure during a financial statement audit;
  • Services where the auditor would act on behalf of management;
  • Services where the auditor is an advocate to the client's position in an adversarial proceeding;
  • Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds, its subsidiaries and affiliates;
  • Financial information systems design and implementation;
  • Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;
  • Actuarial services;
  • Internal audit functions or human resources;
  • Broker or dealer, investment advisor, or investment banking services;
  • Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit;
  • Tax planning services related to listed, confidential and aggressive transactions;
  • Personal tax planning services to individuals in a financial reporting oversight role with regard to the Funds including the immediate family members of such individuals;
  • Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

2. (A) All services the primary independent auditor, its subsidiaries and affiliates provide to the Funds, and (B) Audit services, including audits of annual financial statements, audits of acquired or divested businesses or review of regulatory filings, any independent auditor provides, shall be approved by the Committee in advance in accordance with the following procedure:

Each quarter, Management will present to the Committee for pre-approval, a detailed description of each particular service, excluding tax services, for which pre-approval is sought and a range of fees for such service. The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members provided such delegated member(s) shall present a report of any services approved to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Committee Chairperson shall have pre-approval authority for changes to any range of fees applicable to services the Committee previously approved and for new services and the range of fees for such services that arise between regularly scheduled Committee meetings.

Similarly, the primary independent auditor will present to the Committee for pre-approval a written description of the nature and scope of all tax services not expressly prohibited, including the fee arrangements for such services, and the potential effects of such services on the audit firm’s independence.



In considering whether to pre-approve the primary independent auditor’s provision of non-audit services, the Committee will consider whether the services are compatible with the maintenance of such auditor's independence. The Committee will also consider whether the primary independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Funds' business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Funds' ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.

3.      The provisions of this policy shall apply to all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Funds. Additionally, the provisions of this policy shall apply to non-audit services provided to Principal Management Corporation or an affiliate of Principal Management Corporation that provides ongoing services to the Funds if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
4.      Not less than annually, the primary independent auditor shall report to the Committee its independence policies, as well as all relationships that may bear on independence between the auditor and the Funds with respect to any services provided by the auditor, its subsidiaries or affiliates.
5.      The Committee shall ensure that the lead and concurring partners of the Funds' primary independent auditor are rotated at least every five years and subject upon rotation to a five year "time out" period. All other partners of the primary independent auditor, excluding partners who simply consult with others on the audit engagement regarding technical issues, shall rotate after seven years and be subject upon rotation to a two year "time out" period.
  6.      Neither the Funds or Principal Management Corporation may hire or promote any former partner, principal, shareholder or professional employee ("Former Employee") of the primary independent auditor into a financial reporting oversight role unless the Former Employee (1) has severed his/her economic interest in the independent audit firm, and (2) was not a member of the audit engagement team for the Funds during the one year period preceding the date that the audit procedures began for the fiscal period in which the Funds or Principal Management Corporation proposes to hire or promote the Former Employee. Neither the Funds nor Principal Management Corporation shall, without prior written consent of the primary independent auditor, hire or promote any Former Employee into a role not prohibited above if the Former Employee had provided any services to the Funds or Principal Management Corporation during the 12 months preceding the date of filing of the Funds' most recent annual report with the SEC. Upon termination of the primary independent auditor, the Funds or Principal Management Corporation shall not, without prior written consent of the former primary independent auditor, hire or promote any Former Employee for a period of up to 12 months from termination.
  7.      For persons recently promoted or hired into a financial reporting oversight role, any personal tax planning services pursuant to an engagement that was in progress before the hiring or promotion and provided by the primary independent auditor must be completed on or before 180 days after the hiring or promotion.
  8.      The phrase "financial reporting oversight role" means a role in which a person is in a position to exercise influence over the contents of the financial statements or anyone who prepares them, such as a member of the board of directors or similar management or governing body, chief executive officer, president, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, counsel, controller, chief internal auditor, or any equivalent positions.
(Adopted      by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Principal Funds on March 8, 2011).
