GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT • ASSET ALLOCATION EXPERTISE • RETIREMENT LEADERSHIP


Dear Shareholder,

Robust describes the U.S. economy this year. Consumer spending and business investment have been drivers of growth. Low joblessness and healthy job growth keep consumer confidence indices near record highs.

Euro area data is stabilizing after a weak first half. Like the United States, household spending should be the big driver of growth. Labor markets are solid. As expected, Japan’s economy rebounded from its first-quarter contraction in gross domestic product. Consumption and investment spending picked up nicely. Economic growth in China slowed in July. Official data disappointed with fixed-asset investment growth dropping to a record low in July (data goes back to 1999). However, August brought tentative signs of stabilization as business surveys ticked up a bit. Emerging markets just can’t seem to catch a break. The ongoing crises in Turkey and Argentina only worsened in August and the growth slowdown in China doesn’t help either. A U.S. dollar that doesn’t seem to weaken and the potential for higher U.S. interest rates mean financial conditions could stay tight.

Because markets tend to fluctuate, we believe the most prudent approach for investing is to select a portfolio allocation that is broadly diversified both across and within asset classes.1 We encourage you to work closely with your financial professional to select and monitor those investments best suited to helping you work toward and realize your financial goals.

Our focus at Principal Funds has always been on consistent, long-term performance for our investors. Our investment strategies cover a wide range of asset classes to help you diversify your portfolio as you save for the future—whether you are investing for goals that are years down the road, or closer at hand.3

President, Principal Funds

Economic & Financial Market Review

U.S. indices have been the leader for most of the stock market rally since March 2009. With hearty profit gains and a booming economy, that outperformance continued in August. The MSCI U.S. Index jumped 6.7% in the month for a year-to-date gain of 8.7%. The Dow Jones Transportation Average surged 9.3% in August. For the year, the top performing indices were the Russell 2000 Growth, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Russell 1000 Growth, up 18.0%, 17.5%, and 15.4% in price, respectively.

Emerging economies in general continued their dismal financial market performance. The MSCI Emerging Market Index fell 1.3% inAugust and 8.8% in all of 2018 to date. India was the rare exception with its world-beating economic growth pushing the Sensex Index up 9.1% in August and 13.5% for the year. Emerging market bonds also fared poorly with falling currencies and severe credit stress in Turkey and Argentina.

Developed country interest rates fluctuated in a narrow range during August. Yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds ended August a speck above 0.1%, as the Bank of Japan widened the acceptable yield range on those bonds in late July. German yields on 10-year bunds fell about 0.25% during the month, to end at an incredibly low 0.33%. Long-term yields on U.S. Treasury bonds stayed in a 0.2% range but ended the month lower at 2.86%. Yields on two-year U.S. Treasury bonds were mostly flat in August above 2.6%, but had soared over the past year, up 1.4 percentage points. That surge in U.S. short rates caused the yield curve to flatten more.

U.S. nominal growth was 5.4% and is why we still expect another wave higher in long-term Treasury yields as U.S. growth is vigorous, the labor market is on fire, confidence is not far from record heights, and the world economy except the United States is rebounding modestly from early-year weakness. Also, by year-end, the European Central Bank will begin to lessen its monetary easing, which should push euro area rates higher, relieving some of the down pressure on U.S. rates.

Blue Chip Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC

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

Blue Chip Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations at the time of purchase that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The fund invests in securities of foreign companies.

Allocation to Amazon, an e-commerce company started by Jeff Bezos in 1994 that was originally developed as an internet site to sell books, contributed.Allocation toAlphabet, whose core Google business has tremendous advantages, contributed, driven by growth in mobile search and YouTube. Allocation to MasterCard, which provides transaction processing and other payment-related services in the United States and internationally, contributed.

Allocation to Liberty Global, a large cable and broadband company with operations primarily in Europe, detracted due to concerns about future growth opportunities in Europe.Allocation to Liberty Broadband, which was spun out of Liberty Media in November 2014 as a way to highlight Liberty's investment in domestic cable assets, detracted. Allocation to Starbucks, which sells gourmet coffee, tea, related products, and more recently a coordinated offering of food from its more than 23,000 stores around the world, detracted due to a combination of mixed results and turnover in management.

Diversified Real Asset Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC

Sub-Advisors:

BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; BNP PARIBAS ASSET MANAGEMENT USA, Inc.; BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation; Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC; Macquarie Capital Investment Management LLC; Pictet Asset Management SA; Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC; RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited; Symphony Asset Management LLC; Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C.

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

Diversified Real Asset Fund seeks a long-term total return in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments related to real assets and real asset companies. It seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among general investment categories related to real assets and real asset companies

(which include tangible assets and investments that are expected to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation).

Allocation to and security selection within floating rate debt contributed as the supply/demand profile of the bank loan market continues to be favorable. Security selection within information technology, healthcare, and telecommunications were the top contributing sectors.

Allocation to and security selection within real estate investment trusts (REITs) contributed on good stock selection within industrial globally, particularly stocks in this sector in Australia, the U.S., and the UK. Additionally, underweight to retail globally contributed due to the poor retail landscape, good selection in this sector also helped outperformance, particularly in the U.S. Allocation to timber stocks contributed on an absolute basis, as timber securities outperformed the broader natural resources sector. The sub-segments that made the strongest absolute contribution were wood products, followed by pulp, and then timberland. Allocation to global infrastructure securities detracted from absolute performance. Both sub-advisors experienced negative returns amid volatility in the sector as investors viewed a potential trade war as a significant existential threat to the economy. Allocation to currency detracted as performance within the judgment style was negative due to positions taken in the Swedish krona, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, and South Korean. Performance within the model style was also negative as the emerging market carry and trend models underperformed. Allocation to global metals & mining stocks detracted on an absolute basis amid continued volatility in this sector.

Dynamic Floating Rate High Income Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC

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

Dynamic Floating Rate High Income Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in floating rate debt securities, including bank loans and corporate bonds, and other investment companies that provide investment exposure to such floating rate securities. Floating interest rates vary with and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in a generally recognized base interest rate such as LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or the prime rate. On June 12, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a Plan of Liquidation for the fund. There was no material impact to performance during the year ended August 31, 2018 due to the Plan of Liquidation.

Loan security selection contributed to performance, led by Academy Ltd, California Resources Corporation, and Emerald Performance Materials. Asset allocation also contributed, due to overweight to bonds. Bond security selection had no impact on performance; however, the top contributors were NGL Energy Partners, Whiting Petroleum, and MEG Energy Corp. The top three loan security selection detractors were Seadrill Partners, JC Penny Corporation, and Warner Music Group. Dish Corp, GTT Communications, and ILFC E-Capital Trust contributed the least to bond security selection.

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

Eight of the 10 sleeves in Principal Global Multi-Strategy were positive. The equity long/short sleeve, sub-advised by LA Capital was the top contributor with gains coming from underweight to the telecom services sector and overweight to the energy and information technology sector. The equity long/short sleeve, sub-advised by Wellington also gained; as the U.S. equity allocation performed particularly well both in large and small-caps. The market neutral sleeve, sub-advised by KLS contributed with strong gains coming from structured products and relative value trades within the rates strategy. The credit sleeve, sub-advised by Loomis Sayles generated positive returns from equities, securitized assets, and high yield. The credit sleeve, sub-advised by Sound Point benefited from a number of longs in core credits. The emerging markets credit sleeve, sub-advised by Finisterre contributed with gains coming from a number of shorts, from both hedges and fundamental positions. The equity long/short sleeve, sub-advised by Ascend was also a contributor for the period with positions in the information technology, energy and healthcare sectors performing best. The event driven sleeve, sub-advised by York gained with positive performance coming from positions in both special situations and merger arbitrage. In macro, Graham detracted with losses coming from currencies and fixed income positions. AQR, the multi-strategy sleeve, was also a detractor with losses coming from dedicated short bias and equity market neutral strategies.

Global Opportunities Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC

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

Global Opportunities Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal market circumstances, the Fund invests in equity securities of issuers located throughout the world, including the U.S., invests at least 30% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, and holds investments tied economically to at least ten countries. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued.

Allocation to VeriSign, which serves as the manager of the .com and .net domain registers contributed as it is benefitting from the secular trend toward increasing global internet usage and individuals/entities seeking a web presence. Allocation to Norfolk Southern, which controls the Norfolk Southern Railway and offers intermodal services through subsidiaries Triple Crown Services and Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services, contributed as Norfolk and its rail peers saw an outsized headwind in volume due to coal exposure (2nd to CSX), and will likely benefit as cyclical headwind is abating as coal improves. Additionally, U.S. rails will benefit from corporate tax reform as the entire group pays the highest tax within Industrials.Allocation to Cisco Systems, Inc., which designs, manufactures, and sells Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking and other products related to the communications and information technology (IT) industry, contributed.Allocation to Celgene, a global biotech company focused on novel therapies for hematology, oncology and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, detracted. Allocation to Philip Morris International, which manufactures and sells cigarettes, other tobacco products, and other nicotine-containing products globally, but outside the U.S, detracted in part to a slowdown in Japan iQos growth. Allocation to

Unum, a leading provider of employee/group benefits products and services and is the largest provider of disability insurance products in the U.S. and UK, detracted as it it's becoming more clear that long-term care insurance remains a key unknown for the sector and in turn is pressuring Unum's share price.

Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund

Investment Advisor:

Sub-Advisors:

AQR Capital Management, LLC; Gotham Asset Management, LLC; Sirios Capital Management, L.P.; Three Bridges Capital, LP

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

Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with an emphasis on positive total returns and managing volatility. The Fund invests in a broad range of instruments including, but not limited to, equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, convertible securities, and bank loans. Under normal market conditions, it invests in securities of issuers located throughout the world, including the U.S., invests at least 30% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, and holds investments tied economically to at least twenty countries.

Gotham was the top contributor to performance, driven by long positions in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors.  Long positions inApple, ConocoPhillips, and Boeing were among the top contributors for the subadvisor. Sirios contributed as long positions in the industrials and healthcare sectors, including Airbus, CSX, and Beckton Dickinson, drove gains. Three Bridges contributed as the subadvisor benefited from positions across a variety of sectors, including long positions in Ocado Group, Koninklijke DSM, and LVMH. AQR detracted from performance. Losses were primarily attributable to poor stock selection in the U.S., as exposure to the valuation, investor sentiment, and management signaling themes weighed on performance.

Origin Emerging Markets Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC
Sub-Advisors:
Origin Asset Management, LLP

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

Origin Emerging Markets Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of emerging market companies at the time of purchase. The advisor considers a security to be tied economically to an emerging market country (an "emerging market security") if the issuer of the security has its principal place of business or principal office in an emerging market country, has its principal securities trading market in an emerging market country, or derives a majority of its revenue from emerging market countries.

The materials sector was the biggest sector to contribute to outperformance, led by the Chinese securities Anhui Conch Cement and China Resources Cement, as well as South African company Kumba Iron Ore. Holdings in the financials sectors were also beneficial, led by Chinese securities Ping An Insurance and China Merchants Bank. At a country level, companies in China remained the outright leaders in terms of additive performance, but underweight to South Africa was also beneficial. Some sectors detracted, led by information technology, especially Taiwanese stocks LARGAN and Phison Electronics Corp. The energy sector was also a marginal detractor, driven predominantly by the allocation effect of not owning Reliance Industries Limited and CNOOC Limited.At a geographic level, holdings in Taiwan and Korea proved the most significant detractors from overall performance.

Preferred Securities Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC
Sub-Advisors:
Spectrum Asset Management, Inc.

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

Preferred Securities Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities at the time of purchase. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It concentrates its investments (invests more than 25% of its net assets) in securities in the financial services (i.e., banking, insurance and commercial finance) industry.

Rising rates in the front end has benefited the extended (floaters) insurance and utility issues. The U.S. Bank Trust Preferred floaters also performed well. Rising front-end rates have also buoyed fixed-to-float $1000 pars. $25 par securities have performed well as longer-term rates have remained contained, the U.S. economy continues to show signs of strength, and the U.S. equity market continues to increase in value. Cocos contributed despite selling off late in the period due to concerns around the outcome of the Italian election and the Turkish currency crisis. Legacy Tier1 European banking hybrids underperformed given rising rates and an extension of workout assumptions on these bonds. Duration was a liability with longer duration insurance hybrids under pressure. Italian securities in the portfolio namely Unicredit and ENEL sold off given the outcome of the Italian election. The BBVASM AT1 detracted given the bank's exposure to Turkey.

Real Estate Debt Income Fund

Investment Advisor:
Principal Global Investors, LLC
Sub-Advisors:
Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC

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

Real Estate Debt Income Fund seeks current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in debt securities of U.S. companies principally engaged in the real estate industry at the time of purchase. A real estate company has at least 50% of its assets, income or profits derived from products or services related to the real estate industry.

Holdings of BBB-bonds contributed due to their higher yield profile, strong investor demand for yield, and supportive real estate fundamentals. Out-of-index holdings of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) interest only (IO) strips were strong performers due to ongoing investor demand for the attractive cash flow and yield profile offered by these shorter duration securities. Holdings of AA- and A-rated bonds contributed driven by spread tightening paired with their moderate yield profile. Interest rates rose, which generally resulted in negative mark-to-market pressures due to the fixed-rate nature of the investments in the portfolio. Longer duration securities were especially impacted by the rate sell-off. Holdings of certain AAA-rated securities with longer durations detracted as the amount of carry generated by these high quality, lower yielding securities was not enough to overcome the negative mark-to-market caused by the sell-off in interest rates. Holdings of a downgraded, pre-crisis vintage bond detracted due to negative mark-to-market and a partial principal write-down driven by negative collateral outcomes.

Notes to Financial Statements
Principal Funds, Inc.
August 31, 2018

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 Blue Chip Fund, Diversified Real Asset Fund, Dynamic Floating Rate High Income Fund, Global Multi-Strategy Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Small Company Fund, Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund, Opportunistic Municipal Fund, Origin Emerging Markets Fund, Preferred

Securities Fund, Real Estate Debt Income Fund and Small-MidCap Dividend Income Fund (known as the "Funds") are presented herein. The Funds may offer up to ten classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, and R-6. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to ClassAand Class C shares. Certain detailed financial information for Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, and R-6 classes of shares is provided separately.

Each of the Funds is an investment company and applies specialized accounting and reporting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Funds have not provided financial support, and are not contractually required to provide financial support to any investee.

Effective January 3, 2017, the initial purchases of $10,000 of R-6 shares of Blue Chip Fund, International Small Company Fund, Preferred Securities Fund, Real Estate Debt Income Fund, and Small-MidCap Dividend Income Fund were made by Principal Global Investors, LLC (the “Manager”).

Effective June 6, 2017, Dynamic High Yield Explorer Fund changed its name to Dynamic Floating Rate High Income Fund.

Effective June 12, 2017, the initial purchases of $10,000 of Class T shares of Blue Chip Fund and Preferred Securities Fund were made by the Manager.

Effective June 12, 2017, the initial purchase of $10,000 of R-6 shares of Global Multi-Strategy Fund was made by the Manager. Effective June 23, 2017, Class P shares discontinued operations and converted to Institutional shares.

Effective September 11, 2017, the initial purchase of $10,000 of Class J shares of Blue Chip Fund was made by the Manager.

Effective September 29, 2017, Blue Chip Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of LargeCap Growth Fund II, a series of the Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders September 20, 2017. The purpose of the acquisition was to combine two accounts managed by the Manager with similar investment objectives, principal policies, and risks. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 68,251,000 shares from LargeCap Growth Fund II for 23,823,000 shares valued at $484,960,000 of Blue Chip Fund at an approximate exchange rate of .28, .36, .32, .30, .32, .33, .34 for Class J, Institutional, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 classes of shares, respectively. LargeCap Growth Fund II R-1, R-2 and R-3 classes of shares were merged into Blue Chip Fund R-3 class of shares.

The investment securities of LargeCap Growth Fund II, with a fair value of approximately $460,792,000 and a cost of $435,339,000 and $24,277,000 cash were the primary assets acquired by Blue Chip Fund on September 29, 2017. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Blue Chip Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from LargeCap Growth Fund II were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Blue Chip Fund. The aggregate net assets of LargeCap Growth Fund II and Blue Chip Fund immediately prior to the acquisition in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) were approximately $484,962,000 ($4,594,000 of accumulated realized gain) and $1,774,803,000 ($67,323,000 of accumulated realized gain), respectively. The aggregate net assets of Blue Chip Fund immediately following the acquisition were $2,259,765,000. In accordance with Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code, a portion of accumulated realized losses may be subject to limitation.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2017, the beginning of the fiscal year for Blue Chip Fund, Blue Chip Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the period ended August 31, 2018, would have been $1,499,000 of net investment income, $635,281,000 of net realized and unrealized gain on investments, and $636,780,000 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 Growth Fund II that have been included in Blue Chip Fund’s statement of operations since September 29, 2017.

Effective August 24, 2018, Class T shares discontinued operations and were redeemed or liquidated.

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. GAAP 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:

SecurityValuation. Certain of 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.

The Funds value securities for which market quotations are readily available at fair 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 such as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, other yield and risk factors, and other market conditions to determine an evaluated bid price or, in the case of certain credit default swaps, a mean price provided by a pricing service. 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 reflected in the Funds’ net asset values and these securities are valued at 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, provided by independent pricing services, 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.

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, interest income, interest expense 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 foreign currencies that exceeded 5% of net assets of the fund:

Income and Investment Transactions. The Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. 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, respectively, on the level yield method over the expected lives of the respective securities. The Funds allocate all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding 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 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.

In addition to the expenses the Funds bear directly, each of the Funds may indirectly bears 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 the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of expense incurred indirectly by each Fund will vary. Expenses included in the statement of operations of the Funds reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

Distributions to Shareholders. With respect to Opportunistic Municipal 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. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, options and 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, short sales, partnership investments, REITs, utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, 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.

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.

Management evaluates 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 August 31, 2018, the Funds did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open for the shorter of the fiscal years from 2015-2017 or commencement of the fund’s operations to 2017.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, certain of the Funds have filed additional tax reclaims for taxes withheld in prior years. Due to the uncertainty and timing of these reclaims, a corresponding receivable will only be recorded when both the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties regarding collectability.

Basis for Consolidation. Diversified Real Asset Fund and Global Multi-Strategy Fund (the “Consolidated Funds”) may invest up to 25% of their total assets in their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries DRA Cayman Corporation and GMS Cayman Corporation (the “Cayman Subsidiaries”) each organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Consolidated Funds are the sole shareholder of their respective Cayman Subsidiaries, and shares of the Cayman Subsidiaries will not be sold or offered to other investors. To the extent that the Consolidated Funds invest in their Cayman Subsidiaries, they will be subject to the particular risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiaries investments, which are discussed in the applicable Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The principal purpose of investing in the Cayman Subsidiaries is to allow the Consolidated Funds to gain exposure to the commodity markets within the limitations of federal tax laws applicable to regulated investment companies. Diversified Real Asset Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of Diversified RealAsset Fund and its Cayman Subsidiary. Global Multi-Strategy Fund’s investment portfolio has been consolidated and includes the portfolio holdings of Global Multi-Strategy Fund and its Cayman Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements for Diversified Real Asset Fund include the accounts of Diversified Real Asset Fund and its Cayman Subsidiary and the consolidated financial statements for Global Multi-Strategy Fund include the accounts of Global Multi-Strategy Fund and its Cayman Subsidiary.All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. At August 31, 2018, the net assets of the Cayman Subsidiaries were as follows (amounts in thousands):

        Percent of Consolidated Fund’s  
      Net Assets   Net Assets  
DRA Cayman Corporation $ 460,215 11.03 %
GMS Cayman Corporation   26,643 1.01  

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08 Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which amends the accounting standards to shorten the amortization period of certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

3. Operating Policies

Borrowings. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds and other registered investment companies managed by the Manager may participate in an interfund lending facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to borrow money from or loan money to the other participants. Loans under the Facility are made to handle unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest paid and received on borrowings is the average of the current repurchase agreement rate and the bank loan rate (the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the One Month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%). There were no outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2018. The interest income received is included in interest income on the statement of operations. The interest expense associated with these borrowings is included in other expenses on the statements of operations.

During the year ended August 31, 2018, funds loaning to the Facility were as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Average Daily   Weighted Average  
    Amount Loaned Annual Interest Rate  
Blue Chip Fund $ 2 2.32 %
Diversified Real Asset Fund   75 2.01  
Global Multi-Strategy Fund   443 2.06  
Global Opportunities Fund   46 1.80  
International Small Company Fund   6 2.11  
Origin Emerging Markets Fund   6 2.16  
Preferred Securities Fund   251 1.99  
Real Estate Debt Income Fund   12 1.99  
Small-MidCap Dividend Income Fund   156 2.02

3. Operating Policies (continued)

During the year ended August 31, 2018, funds borrowing from the Facility were as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Average Daily   Weighted Average  
    Outstanding Balance Annual Interest Rate  
Blue Chip Fund $ 624 2.05 %
Diversified Real Asset Fund   154 2.33  
Global Opportunities Fund   940 2.07  
International Small Company Fund   69 1.74  
Opportunistic Municipal Fund   65 2.31  
Real Estate Debt Income Fund   1 1.66  

 

In addition, the Funds (with the exception of Diversified Real Asset Fund) participate with other registered investment companies managed by the Manager in an unsecured joint line of credit with a bank which allows the participants to borrow up to $100 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 Federal Funds Rate or the One Month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at an annual rate of .15% on the amount of the line of credit which is allocated to each participating fund based on average net assets. During the year ended August 31, 2018, Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund borrowed against the line of credit. The average outstanding balance for the liability during the year ended August 31, 2018 was less than $1,000 at a weighted average annual interest rate of .00%. The interest expense associated with these borrowings is included in other expenses on the statements of operations. There were no outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2018.

Commodity Linked Notes. Diversified RealAsset Fund invests in structured notes whose market values are primarily derived from changes in the value of various commodity indices and other factors. Valuations on these securities may be volatile as the payment features on certain notes may contain attributes that multiply the effects of changes in the values of the underlying indices. Structured notes may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities. Structured notes may also be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities or more traditional debt securities. Fluctuations in the fair value of the structured notes are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. Interest income is accrued daily. These notes are subject to prepayment, credit, and interest rate risks. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the fund records a realized gain or loss.

Contingent Convertible Securities. Preferred Securities Fund invests in contingent convertible securities (“CoCos”). CoCos are hybrid debt securities that may convert into equity or have their principal written down upon the occurrence of certain “triggers.” Although a contingent convertible security’s equity conversion and principal write-down features are tailored to the particular issuing banking institution and its regulatory requirements, triggers are generally linked to regulatory capital thresholds or regulatory actions calling into question such institution’s continued viability as a going-concern. CoCos may have no stated maturity and fully discretionary coupons, which means coupon payments can be canceled at the issuing banking institution’s discretion or at the request of the relevant regulatory authority without causing a default. To provide the appropriate regulatory capital treatment, CoCos are usually issued in the form of subordinated debt instruments that rank junior to the claims of holders of more senior obligations in the event of the issuer’s liquidation. If CoCos are converted into equity securities due to a trigger event, holders will be further subordinated. The value of CoCos is unpredictable and is influenced by many factors including, without limitation: the creditworthiness of the issuer and/or fluctuations in such issuer’s applicable capital ratios; supply and demand for CoCos; general market conditions and available liquidity; and economic, financial and political events that affect the issuer, its particular market or the financial markets in general. Due to these features, CoCos may have substantially greater risk than other securities in times of financial stress. Because of the uncertainty regarding whether a conversion event will occur, it may be difficult to predict when, if at all, a contingent convertible security will be converted to equity, and a fund may suffer losses as a result. If the trigger level is breached, the issuer’s decision to write down, write off or convert a contingent convertible security may result in the fund's complete loss on an investment in CoCos with no chance of recovery even if the issuer remains in existence.

Counterparties. The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that another party with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will fail to perform on their commitment. To the extent that unpaid amounts owed to the Funds exceed a predetermined threshold agreed to with the counterparty, such counterparty shall advance collateral to the Funds in the form of cash or cash equivalents equal in value to the unpaid amount owed to the Funds. If the unpaid amount owed to the Funds subsequently decreases, the Funds would be required to return all or a portion of the collateral.

Master Netting Agreements may also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions governed under the relevant master netting agreement with a counterparty exceeds a specified threshold.

3. Operating Policies (continued)

The financial instruments that are subject to Master Netting Agreements or similar agreements may include right of setoff provisions.

Derivative instruments include provisions to setoff positions covered under the agreements with the same counterparties and provisions to setoff positions outside of the agreements with the same counterparties in the event of default by one of the parties. Derivative instruments also include collateral provisions. Collateral received and pledged are generally settled daily with each counterparty.

Diversified Real Asset Fund, Global Multi-Strategy Fund and Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund have financial instruments that are subject to Master Netting Agreements or similar agreements.

As of August 31, 2018, financial assets and liabilities subject to Master Netting Agreements or similar agreements were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Deposits with Counterparty. Cash pledged as collateral is reflected as an asset on the statement of assets and liabilities as deposits with counterparty. There are a variety of security types which require varying levels of pledged collateral. Customer account agreements govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures contracts and certain swap agreements. Such transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated in an account at a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) accounts are maintained in a segregated account at the custodian for OTC Derivatives. Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) accounts are also maintained in a segregated account at the custodian for collateral related to forward currency contracts and TBA securities. Certain funds may pledge cash to a broker for securities sold short and repurchase agreements.

For year ended August 31, 2018, deposits with counterparty were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held. Opportunistic Municipal Fund has entered into transactions in which the 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 fund holds the “floating rate notes issued” in which the carrying value, including accrued interest, approximates fair value for financial statement purposes. As of period end, the “floating rate notes issued” payable is categorized as Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy. The balance of the floating rate notes issued as of August 31, 2018 was $6,599,000. The average outstanding balance for the liability during the year ended August 31, 2018 was $6,290,000 at a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.12%. 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.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain of the Funds may be subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing such Funds’ investment objectives. 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 and 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 fair 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.

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 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 financial derivative instruments. Futures contracts are marked to market daily at the closing settlement price or in the absence of such a price, the most recent quoted bid price. If there are no quotations available, the security is valued at the last available closing settlement price. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the fair 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 value and may limit each of the Funds’ ability to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing the securities.

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.

Options Contracts. During the period, Diversified Real Asset Fund, Global Multi-Strategy Fund, Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund and Preferred Securities Fund wrote call and put options on swaps, securities, indices and currencies they own or in which they may invest for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. Writing put options tends to increase a fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options contracts written on the statements of assets and liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying swap, security, index or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying swap, security, index or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the swap, security, index or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk a fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as a writer of put options could be required to make is equal to the notional amount multiplied by the exercise price as shown in the Schedule of Investments. A fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A fund pays a premium which is included on the fund’s statements of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying swap, security, index or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Details of options contracts open at year end are included in the Funds' schedules of investments.

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 the counterparties’ 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.

In addition, Global Multi-Strategy Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain counterparties that are collateralized by assets other than U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities. The collateral pledged by the counterparty under these repurchase agreements is maintained in a segregated account at the counterparty’s custodian. After entering into the repurchase agreement, the fund may sell short the security pledged by the counterparty as collateral in anticipation of a decline in market value. Upon the settlement of the short sale, the fund will unwind the repurchase agreement.

Although the repurchase agreements are typically open-ended through the maturity date of the collateral, the fund has a right to terminate the repurchase agreement at any time with two days’notice. During periods of high demand for the collateral security, the fund may also pay the counterparty a fee and the amount is recorded as interest expense on the statement of operations.

Global Master Repurchase Agreements govern the repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions between the fund and the counterparty. Collateral requirements for certain counterparties may be determined on a total exposure basis, rather than on an individual repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase agreement basis in order to determine the collateral to be received or pledged.

3. Operating Policies (continued)

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.

Reverse RepurchaseAgreements. Global Multi-Strategy Fund has entered into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by the fund, and are subject to the fund’s restrictions on borrowing. Reverse repurchase agreements may increase the volatility of a fund and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with the borrowed money.

While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Fund will maintain cash or appropriate liquid assets to cover its obligation under the agreement. The Fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties that the Sub-Advisor deems creditworthy. The fund must segregate assets in an amount equal to the amount the fund owes pursuant to the terms of the reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements are shown as a separate line item on the statements of assets and liabilities. Interest payments made are shown as reverse repurchase agreement interest expense on the statements of operations. The fund holds reverse repurchase agreements in which the carrying value, including accrued interest, approximates fair value for financial statement purposes. As of period end, the reverse repurchase agreements payable is categorized as Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy. The average amount of borrowings outstanding during the period ended August 31, 2018 was $212,363,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.62%. The following table shows a breakdown of the obligations owed by fund, security type sold and remaining maturity for the reverse repurchase agreements.

    Remaining   Payable for Reverse
Fund Security Type Contractual Tenor   Repurchase Agreement
Global Multi Strategy Fund U.S. Treasury and Agency Securities Overnight and Continuous $ 222,473
Global Multi Strategy Fund Foreign Corporate Bond Overnight and Continuous   1,297
Global Multi Strategy Fund U.S. Treasury and Agency Securities Greater than 90 Days   29,316
Global Multi Strategy Fund Foreign Corporate Bond Greater than 90 Days   7,166
  Gross amount of recognized liabilities for reverse repurchase agreements $ 260,252

 

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 typically 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).

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.

In connection with the senior floating rate interests, the Funds may also enter into unfunded loan commitments (“commitments”). All or a portion of the commitments may be unfunded. The Funds are obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. Therefore, the Funds must have funds sufficient to cover its contractual obligation. Unfunded loan commitments are marked to market daily and the unrealized gain or loss is shown as a separate line item called unrealized gain or loss on unfunded loan commitments on the statements of assets and liabilities. As of August 31, 2018, the unfunded loan commitments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Unfunded Loan Commitment   Unrealized gain/loss  
Diversified Real Asset Fund $ 16 $  
Global Multi-Strategy Fund   910   (3 )

 

Short Sales. Global Multi-Strategy Fund and Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund entered into short sales transactions during the period. A short sale is a transaction in which a fund sells a security it does not own as a hedge against some of its long positions and/or in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the security. The fund must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker dealer which made the short sale. A security sold in a short sale transaction and the interest or dividend payable on the security if any, is reflected as

64

3. Operating Policies (continued)

a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. The fund is obligated to pay any interest or dividends received on the borrowed securities. Interest accrued and dividends declared on short positions are recorded as an expense and appear as dividends and interest on shorts on the statement of operations. A fund is obligated to deliver the security at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited.

The fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash deposited with the broker for collateral is included in deposits with counterparty on the statement of assets and liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are footnoted in the schedule of investments. The fund may pay broker’s fees on the borrowed securities and may also pay a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. These fees are included as short sale fees on the statement of operations.

Swap Agreements. Diversified Real Asset Fund, Global Multi-Strategy Fund, and Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund invested in swap agreements during the period. Swap agreements are 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, currency, interest rate, or total return swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, currency, 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.

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

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues 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 default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Funds may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Funds own or have exposure to the referenced obligation).

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 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.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of August 31, 2018 for which a fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the footnotes to the schedules of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

Synthetic futures, which are total return swaps on futures contracts, along with equity basket swaps generally, involve the commitment to receive positive returns or pay negative returns on a specified reference security, basket of securities, security index or index component, without actually owning the underlying position.

Currency swap agreements involve the commitment to exchange cash flows on a notional amount based on changes in the relative values of the specified currencies.

Interest rate swaps involve the commitment to exchange fixed or floating rate cash flows based on changes in the value of a specific reference rate.

Certain collateral amounts relate to exchange cleared swaps which are not subject to master netting agreements with counterparties.

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.

Underlying Funds. An underlying fund to a fund of fund may experience relatively large redemptions or purchases as the fund of fund periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may accelerate the realization of taxable income if sales of portfolio

securities result in gains and could increase transaction costs. In addition, when a fund of fund reallocates or redeems significant assets away from an underlying fund, the loss of assets to the Underlying Fund could result in increased expense ratios for that fund.

The Manager is the advisor to the Fund, Principal Variable Contract Funds, Inc. and each of the Underlying Funds. Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“Principal-REI”) serves as Sub-Advisor to some of the Underlying Funds. The Manager and Principal-REI are committed to minimizing the potential impact of underlying fund risk on Underlying Funds to the extent consistent with pursuing the investment objectives of the fund of funds which it manages. Each may face conflicts of interest in fulfilling its responsibilities to all such funds.

As of August 31, 2018, series of the Fund and Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. owned the following percentages, in the aggregate, of the outstanding shares of the Underlying Funds listed below:

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 FNMAand the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). The FNMA is a government sponsored corporation, the common stock of which is owned entirely by private stockholders. The 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 the FNMA are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The FHLMC issues Participation Certificates which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages.

Long equity futures contracts are used to obtain market exposure for the cash balances that are maintained by certain of the Funds and the notional values of the futures contracts will vary in accordance with changing cash balances. Long and short U.S. Treasury futures contracts are used to obtain interest rate exposure in order to manage duration of Diversified Real Asset Fund and Global Multi-Strategy Fund. The Preferred Securities Fund uses long and short U.S. Treasury futures contracts to mitigate interest rate volatility. The notional values of the futures contracts will vary in accordance with changing duration of these funds.

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 may use one or more of the following approaches: market, income and/or cost. 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

4. Fair Valuation (continued) 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, when available.

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 such as prepayment rates, probability of default, or loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Benchmark pricing procedures set the base price of a security based on current market data. The base price may be a broker-dealer quote, transaction price, or internal value based on relevant market data.

The fair values of these securities are dependent on economic, political and other considerations. The values of such securities may be affected by significant changes in the economic conditions, changes in government policies, and other factors (e.g., natural disasters, accidents, conflicts, etc.).

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 Manager has established a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) of senior officers and employees, with the responsibility of overseeing the pricing and valuation of all securities, including securities where market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee meets at least monthly and reports directly to the Board of Directors. A pricing group (the “Pricing Group”) who reports to the Valuation Committee relies on the established pricing policies to determine fair valuation. Included in the pricing policies is an overview of the approved valuation approaches established for each asset class. The Pricing Group will consider all appropriate information available when determining fair valuation.

The Pricing Group relies on externally provided valuation inputs to determine the value of Level 3 securities. Security values are updated as new information becomes available. Valuation data and changes in valuation amounts are reviewed on a daily basis based on specified criteria for the security, asset class, and other factors. In addition, valuation data is periodically compared to actual transactions executed by the Funds (i.e., purchases/sales) and differences between transaction prices and prior period valuation data are investigated based on specified tolerances.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The beginning of the period timing recognition has been adopted for the significant transfers between levels of each Fund’s assets and liabilities. There were no significant purchases, sales, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The table below includes transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 for the year-ended August 31, 2018 due to lack of exchange traded valuation data:

Global Multi-Strategy Fund $ 6,463,375
Preferred Securities Fund 101,576,599

 

Below are transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 for the year-ended August 31, 2018 due to the resumption of trading for previous thinly traded securities:

Global Multi-Strategy Fund $ 39,364
Preferred Securities Fund   11,321,262

Late-Year Losses. A regulated investment company may elect to treat any portion of its qualified late-year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late-year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable year ended August 31, 2018, Preferred Securities Fund has an approximate late-year loss deferral of $8,741,000.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. 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 August 31, 2018, the Funds recorded reclassifications as follows (amounts in thousands):

  Accumulated

(a) 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.

(b) 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 is $14,850 and 4,203 EUR

(c) The market price and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on an issuer 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.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018, 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. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Principal investment companies since 1969.

Shareholder Expense Example
Principal Funds, Inc.
August 31, 2018 (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 (March 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018), 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 within Class A and Class C shares. 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 fund’s 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.

Notification of Source of Distributions
Pursuant to Rule 19a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940

As noted in the table provided below, certain of the Principal Funds made distributions for the month of September 2018 for which a portion is estimated to be in excess of the fund’s current and accumulated net income.

Fund   Net Income     Realized Gain     Capital Sources  
Dynamic Floating Rate High Income Fund 95.52 % 0.00 % 4.48 %

 

The ultimate composition of these distributions may vary from the estimates provided above due to a variety of factors including future income and expenses, and realized gains and losses from the purchase and sale of securities.

The Executive Committee’s primary purpose is to exercise certain powers of the Board when the Board is not in session. When the Board is not in session, the Committee may exercise all powers of the Board in the management of the business of the Fund Complex except the power to 1) authorize dividends or distributions on stock; 2) issue stock, except as permitted by law; 3) recommend to the stockholders any action which requires stockholder approval; 4) amend the bylaws; or 5) approve any merger or share exchange which does not require stockholder approval.

The Nominating and Governance Committee’s primary purpose is to oversee the structure and efficiency of the Board and the committees established by the Board. The Committee responsibilities include evaluating Board membership and functions, committee membership and functions, insurance coverage, and legal matters. The nominating functions of the Committee include selecting and nominating all candidates who are not “interested persons” of the Fund Complex for election to the Board. Generally, the Committee requests director nominee suggestions from the committee members and management. In addition, the Committee will consider Director candidates recommended by shareholders of the Fund Complex. Recommendations should be submitted in writing to Principal Funds, Inc. at 711 High Street, Des Moines, IA 50392. When evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as an Independent Director, the Committee will generally consider, among other factors: age; education; relevant business experience; geographical factors; whether the person is “independent” and otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a director; and whether the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for attendance at meetings and the performance of the duties of an independent director. The Committee also meets personally with the nominees and conducts a reference check. The final decision is based on a combination of factors, including the strengths and the experience an individual may bring to the Board. The Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity

of background, experience and views among its members, and considers these factors in evaluating the composition of the Board. The Board does not use regularly the services of any professional search firms to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential candidates or nominees.

The Operations Committee’s primary purpose is to oversee the provision of administrative and distribution services to the Funds Complex, communications with the Fund Complex’s shareholders, and review and oversight of the Fund Complex’s operations.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENTADVISORY CONTRACTS

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. (“PFI”) approved: (1) a Sub-Advisory agreement with RARE Infrastructure (North America ) Pty Limited related to the Diversified Real Asset Fund; and (2) a renewal of a Sub-Advisory agreement with Ascend Capital, LLC related to the Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund.

RARE Sub-Advisory Agreement

On March 13, 2018, the Board considered whether to approve the Sub-Advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Principal Global Investors, LLC (the “Manager”) and RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Diversified Real Asset Fund.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Sub-Advisor, the investment approach of the Sub-Advisor, the experience and skills of the Sub-Advisor’s investment personnel who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the resources made available to such personnel. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for recommending, monitoring and replacing Sub-Advisors and that the Manager recommended the Sub-Advisor based upon that program.

Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the historical one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception (February 29, 2012) performance returns as of December 31, 2017, gross and net of proposed fees, of the Sub-Advisor in a composite managed in accordance with the proposed investment strategy for the Sub-Advisor’s portion of the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Fund, as compared to the historical performance returns of a current sub-advisor to the Fund’s global infrastructure investment sleeve and a relevant benchmark index. In addition, the Board reviewed the percentile rankings of the historical performance of the Sub-Advisor’s composite, net of proposed fees, in a relevant Morningstar category for each of the periods referenced above. The Board concluded, based upon the information provided, that the Sub-Advisor is qualified.

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed Sub-Advisory fee, noting that the Manager compensates sub-advisors from its own management fee so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule includes breakpoints and concluded that the sub-advisory fee schedule reflects an appropriate recognition of economies of scale at currently anticipated asset levels. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s representation that it does not have any advisory clients with a lower fee for the specific mandate that it will manage for the Fund and the Manager’s statement that it found the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule to be competitive. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered the character and amount of other fall-out benefits to be received by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisor intends to use Fund commissions to buy Section 28(e) eligible products and services. The Board also noted the Manager’s statement that, with the exception of such soft dollar benefits, there would be no known fall-out benefits to the Sub-Advisor in connection with its management of the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Fund. The Board concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Ascend Sub-Advisory Agreement

On June 12, 2018, the Board considered for the Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) the approval to renew the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Manager and Ascend Capital, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”).

228


 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Sub-Advisor, the investment approach of the Sub-Advisor, the experience and skills of the Sub-Advisor’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 the Sub-Advisor currently provides sub-advisory services for another series of PFI, and that the Board had reviewed and had approved for renewal that sub-advisory agreement at its September 2017 Board meeting. The Board noted that no Fund assets have been allocated to the Sub-Advisor’s management, and that subsequent Board approval would be requested before any such allocation was made. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for recommending, monitoring and replacing sub-advisors and that the Manager recommended the Sub-Advisor based upon that program.

Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the back-tested one-year, three-year and since inception (May 1, 2014) performance returns as of March 31, 2018, gross and net of proposed fees, of the Sub-Advisor in the proposed investment strategy for the equity long/short sleeve of the Fund (which included historical performance returns of the Sub-Advisor in a composite with the proposed investment strategy for the equity long/short sleeve of the Fund for the periods May 1, 2014 through March 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018) as compared to the historical performance returns of a relevant benchmark index (one-year, three-year and since inception) and a relevant Morningstar category (one-year, three-year and since inception). The Board also reviewed the back-tested annual performance returns, gross and net of proposed fees, of the Sub-Advisor in the same strategy for each of the last three calendar years (which included historical performance returns during the periods identified above) as compared to the relevant benchmark index (last four calendar years) and the relevant Morningstar category (last four calendar years). The Board concluded, based upon the information provided, that the Sub-Advisor is qualified.

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed sub-advisory fee, noting that the Manager compensates sub-advisors from its own management fee so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board concluded that, although the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule is appropriate at currently anticipated asset levels. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s representation that the proposed sub-advisory fee is the lowest the Sub-Advisor negotiates for comparable strategies with similar assets under management allocations, and the Manager’s statement that it found the proposed sub-advisory fee to be competitive. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered the character and amount of other fall-out benefits to be received by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisor intended to use Fund commissions to buy Section 28(e) eligible products and services. The Board concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Economic & Financial Market Review

U.S. indices have been the leader for most of the stock market rally since March 2009. With hearty profit gains and a booming economy, that outperformance continued in August. The MSCI U.S. Index jumped 6.7% in the month for a year-to-date gain of 8.7%. The Dow

Jones Transportation Average surged 9.3% in August. For the year, the top performing indices were the Russell 2000 Growth, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Russell 1000 Growth, up 18.0%, 17.5%, and 15.4% in price, respectively.

Emerging economies in general continued their dismal financial market performance. The MSCI Emerging Market Index fell 1.3% inAugust and 8.8% in all of 2018 to date. India was the rare exception with its world-beating economic growth pushing the Sensex Index up 9.1% in August and 13.5% for the year. Emerging market bonds also fared poorly with falling currencies and severe credit stress in Turkey and Argentina.

Developed country interest rates fluctuated in a narrow range during August. Yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds ended August a speck above 0.1%, as the Bank of Japan widened the acceptable yield range on those bonds in late July. German yields on 10-year bunds fell about 0.25% during the month, to end at an incredibly low 0.33%. Long-term yields on U.S. Treasury bonds stayed in a 0.2% range but ended the month lower at 2.86%. Yields on two-year U.S. Treasury bonds were mostly flat in August above 2.6%, but had soared over the past year, up 1.4 percentage points. That surge in U.S. short rates caused the yield curve to flatten more.

U.S. nominal growth was 5.4% and is why we still expect another wave higher in long-term Treasury yields as U.S. growth is vigorous, the labor market is on fire, confidence is not far from record heights, and the world economy except the United States is rebounding modestly from early-year weakness. Also, by year-end, the European Central Bank will begin to lessen its monetary easing, which should push euro area rates higher, relieving some of the down pressure on U.S. rates.

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

Capital Securities Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in capital securities at the time of purchase. It may invest up to 100% of its assets in below investment grade (sometimes called "junk") preferred securities which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody's and BB+ or lower by S&P Global, provided that the issuer of such below investment grade preferred securities has senior debt outstanding that is rated at the time of purchase BBB, or higher by S&P Global or Baa3 or higher by Moody's.

Rising rates in the front end has benefited the extended (floaters) insurance and utility issues. The U.S. Bank Trust preferred floaters also performed well. Contingent convertible securities contributed despite selling off due to concerns around the outcome of the Italian election and the Turkish currency crisis. The $1000 par U.S. Bank preferreds were a contributor given the strength of the U.S. economy and their fixed-to-float structures. Legacy Tier1 European banking hybrids underperformed given rising rates and an extension of workout assumptions on these bonds. Duration was a liability with longer duration insurance hybrids under pressure. Subordinated debt detracted from performance given rising rates.

*Performance assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Performance does not reflect the impact of federal, state, or municipal taxes. If it did, performance would be lower.

**Performance shown for the benchmark is calculated from 02/28/2014 and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Indices are unmanaged, and individuals cannot invest directly in an index.

***Securities described in the fund commentary may no longer be held in the fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
Principal Funds, Inc.
August 31, 2018

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 Capital Securities Fund (the “fund”) are presented herein.

The fund is an investment company and applies specialized accounting and reporting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The fund has not provided financial support, and is not contractually required to provide financial support to any investee.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

ThepreparationoffinancialstatementsinconformitywithU.S.generallyacceptedaccountingprinciples(“U.S.GAAP”)requiresmanagement 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: Security Valuation. The fund may invest in the Institutional shares of Principal Government Money Market Fund (“Underlying Fund”), another series the Fund. Investments in the Underlying Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund on the day of valuation.

The fund values securities for which market quotations are readily available at fair 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 such as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, other yield and risk factors, and other market conditions to determine an evaluated bid price or, in the case of certain credit default swaps, a mean price provided by a pricing service. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to restricted securities, certain debt securities, preferred stocks, and foreign securities, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Global Investors, LLC (the “Manager”) under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Directors.

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 and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The fund records dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted/amortized, respectively, on the level yield method over the expected lives of the respective securities.

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

In addition to the expenses that the fund bears directly, the fund may indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Fund in which it invests. Expenses included in the statement of operations reflect the expenses of the fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Fund.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders of the fund 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. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales and certain preferred securities, and utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares. 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.

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

Management 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

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 period endedAugust 31, 2018, the fund did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open for the fiscal years 2015 – 2017.

Foreign Taxes. The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Foreign income taxes are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. This amount is shown as withholding tax on foreign dividends on the statement of operations.

3. Operating Policies

Borrowings. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund and other registered investment companies managed by the Manager may participate in an interfund lending facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the funds to borrow money from or loan money to the other participants. Loans under the Facility are made to handle unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest paid and received on borrowings is the average of the current repurchase agreement rate and the bank loan rate (the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the One Month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%). During the period ended August 31, 2018, the fund loaned to the Facility and borrowed from the Facility. The interest income received is included in interest income on the statement of operations. The interest expense associated with this borrowing is included in other expenses on the statements of operations. There were no outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2018.

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the fund’s lending to the Facility was as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Average Daily   Weighted Average  
    Amount Loaned Annual Interest Rate  
Capital Securities Fund $ 20 2.00 %

 

During the year ended August 31, 2018, the fund’s borrowing from the Facility was as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Average Daily   Weighted Average  
    Outstanding Balance Annual Interest Rate  
Capital Securities Fund $ 23 1.91 %

 

In addition, the fund participates with other registered investment companies managed by the Manager in an unsecured joint line of credit with a bank, which allows the participants to borrow up to $100 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 Federal Funds Rate or the One Month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15% on the amount of the line of credit which is allocated to each participating fund based on average net assets.

Contingent Convertible Securities. The fund invests in contingent convertible securities (“CoCos”). CoCos are hybrid debt securities that may convert into equity or have their principal written down upon the occurrence of certain “triggers.” Although a contingent convertible security’s equity conversion and principal write-down features are tailored to the particular issuing banking institution and its regulatory requirements, triggers are generally linked to regulatory capital thresholds or regulatory actions calling into question such institution’s continued viability as a going-concern. CoCos may have no stated maturity and fully discretionary coupons, which means coupon payments can be canceled at the issuing banking institution’s discretion or at the request of the relevant regulatory authority without causing a default. To provide the appropriate regulatory capital treatment, CoCos are usually issued in the form of subordinated debt instruments that rank junior to the claims of holders of more senior obligations in the event of the issuer’s liquidation. If CoCos are converted into equity securities due to a trigger event, holders will be further subordinated. The value of CoCos is unpredictable and is influenced by many factors including, without limitation: the creditworthiness of the issuer and/or fluctuations in such issuer’s applicable capital ratios; supply and demand for CoCos; general market conditions and available liquidity; and economic, financial and political events that affect the issuer, its particular market or the financial markets in general. Due to these features, CoCos may have substantially greater risk than other securities in times of financial stress. Because of the uncertainty regarding whether a conversion event will occur, it may be difficult to predict when, if at all, a contingent convertible security will be converted to equity, and a fund may suffer losses as a result. If the trigger level is breached, the issuer’s decision to write down, write off or convert a contingent convertible security may result in the fund's complete loss on an investment in CoCos with no chance of recovery even if the issuer remains in existence.

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.

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 may use one or more of the following approaches: market, income and/or cost. 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, when available.

InvestmentswhicharegenerallyincludedintheLevel3categoryareprimarilyvaluedusingquotedpricesfrombrokersanddealersparticipating 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 such as prepayment rates, probability of default, or loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Benchmark pricing procedures set the base price of a security based on current market data. The base price may be a broker-dealer quote, transaction price, or internal value based on relevant market data.

The fair values of these securities are dependent on economic, political and other considerations. The values of such securities may be affected by significant changes in the economic conditions, changes in government policies, and other factors (e.g., natural disasters, accidents, conflicts, etc.).

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 Manager has established a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) of senior officers and employees, with the responsibility of overseeing the pricing and valuation of all securities, including securities where market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee meets at least monthly and reports directly to the Board of Directors. A pricing group (the “Pricing Group”) who reports to the Valuation Committee relies on the established pricing policies to determine fair valuation. Included in the pricing policies is an overview of the approved valuation approaches established for each asset class. The Pricing Group will consider all appropriate information available when determining fair valuation.

4. Fair Valuation (continued)

The Pricing Group relies on externally provided valuation inputs to determine the value of Level 3 securities. Security values are updated as new information becomes available. Valuation data and changes in valuation amounts are reviewed on a daily basis based on specified criteria for the security, asset class, and other factors. In addition, valuation data is periodically compared to actual transactions executed by the fund (i.e., purchases/sales) and differences between transaction prices and prior period valuation data are investigated based on specified tolerances.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The beginning of the period timing recognition has been adopted for the significant transfers between levels of the fund’s assets and liabilities. During the period, there were no purchases, sales, or transfers into or out of Level 3. In addition, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2018 in valuing the fund’s securities carried at value (amounts shown in thousands):

          Level 2 - Other        
  Level 1 - Quoted   Significant Observable Level 3 - Significant

5 . Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates        

 

The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses (excluding interest expense, expenses related to fund investments, acquired fund fees and expenses, and other extraordinary expenses) for the fund. The reductions and reimbursements are in amounts that maintain total operating expenses at 0.00%. The limit is expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets on an annualized basis during the reporting period. It is expected that the expense limit will continue permanently. There is no management fee charged by the fund.

The fund is an integral part of “wrap-fee” programs, including those sponsored by registered investment advisors and broker-dealers unaffiliated with the fund. Participants in these programs pay a “wrap” fee to the wrap-fee program’s sponsor.

Amounts owed to the fund under the terms of the expense limitation agreements are reflected in the statement of assets and liabilities as an expense reimbursement from Manager and are settled periodically.

6. Investment Transactions

For the year ended August 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities purchased and proceeds from investment securities sold (not including short-term investments and U.S. government securities) by the fund was as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Purchases   Sales

*Represents book-to-tax accounting differences related to contingent convertible bonds and perpetual bonds.

Capital Loss Carryforwards. For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards are losses that can be used to offset future capital gains of the fund. At August 31, 2018, the fund had approximate net capital loss carryforwards as follows (amounts in thousands):

    Short-Term   Long-Term     Total
Capital Securities Fund $ 142 $ 515 $ 657

 

Capital losses will be carried forward with no expiration and with the character of the loss retained. For the period ended August 31, 2018 the fund had utilized capital loss carryforwards of $530,000.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. The 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 U.S. 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 fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes in NetAssets 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 August 31, 2018, the fund recorded reclassifications as follows (amounts in thousands):

  Accumulated        
  Undistributed Net Accumulated Net Realized  
  Investment Income Gain on Investments Paid in Capital

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Principal investment companies since 1969.

Shareholder Expense Example
Principal Funds, Inc.
August 31, 2018 (unaudited)

As a shareholder of Capital Securities Fund, you may incur 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 (March 1, 2018 to August 31, 2018), 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 within Class A and Class C shares. 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 fund’s 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.

          Expenses Paid           Expenses Paid      
          During Period     Beginning     During Period      
    Beginning    Ending Account March 1, 2018 to     Account   Ending Account March 1, 2018 to      
    Account Value    Value August 31, August 31,     Value March 1,   Value August 31, August 31,   Annualized  
    March 1, 2018   2018 2018 (a)   2018   2018 2018 (a) Expense Ratio  
 
Capital Securities Fund                            
Class S $ 1,000.00 $ 997.81 $–   $ 1,000.00 $ 1,025.21 $–   0.00 %

 

(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).

The 15(c) Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board in performing the annual review of the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory agreements pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Committee responsibilities include requesting and reviewing materials.

The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling certain of its responsibilities. The Audit Committee serves as an independent and objective party to monitor the Fund Complex’s accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control system, as well as the work of the independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee assists Board oversight of 1) the integrity of the Fund Complex’s financial statements; 2) the Fund Complex’s compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements; 3) the independent registered public accountants’qualifications and independence; and 4) the performance of the Fund Complex’s independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee also provides an open avenue of communication among the independent registered public accountants, the Manager’s internal auditors, Fund Complex management, and the Board.

The Executive Committee’s primary purpose is to exercise certain powers of the Board when the Board is not in session. When the Board is not in session, the Committee may exercise all powers of the Board in the management of the business of the Fund Complex except the power to 1) authorize dividends or distributions on stock; 2) issue stock, except as permitted by law; 3) recommend to the stockholders any action which requires stockholder approval; 4) amend the bylaws; or 5) approve any merger or share exchange which does not require stockholder approval.

The Nominating and Governance Committee’s primary purpose is to oversee the structure and efficiency of the Board and the committees established by the Board. The Committee responsibilities include evaluating Board membership and functions, committee membership and functions, insurance coverage, and legal matters. The nominating functions of the Committee include selecting and nominating all candidates who are not “interested persons” of the Fund Complex for election to the Board. Generally, the Committee requests director nominee suggestions from the committee members and management. In addition, the Committee will consider Director candidates recommended by shareholders of the Fund Complex. Recommendations should be submitted in writing to Principal Funds, Inc. at 711 High Street, Des Moines, IA 50392. When evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as an Independent Director, the Committee will generally consider, among other factors: age; education; relevant business experience; geographical factors; whether the person is “independent” and otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a director; and whether the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for attendance at meetings and the performance of the duties of an independent director. The Committee also meets personally with the nominees and conducts a reference check. The final decision is based on a combination of factors, including the strengths and the experience an individual may bring to the Board. The Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity

23


 

of background, experience and views among its members, and considers these factors in evaluating the composition of the Board. The Board does not use regularly the services of any professional search firms to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential candidates or nominees.

The Operations Committee’s primary purpose is to oversee the provision of administrative and distribution services to the Funds Complex, communications with the Fund Complex’s shareholders, and review and oversight of the Fund Complex’s operations.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. (“PFI”) approved: (1) a Sub-Advisory agreement with RARE Infrastructure (North America ) Pty Limited related to the Diversified Real Asset Fund; and (2) a renewal of a Sub-Advisory agreement with Ascend Capital, LLC related to the Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund.

RARE Sub-Advisory Agreement

On March 13, 2018, the Board considered whether to approve the Sub-Advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Principal Global Investors, LLC (the “Manager”) and RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Diversified Real Asset Fund.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Sub-Advisor, the investment approach of the Sub-Advisor, the experience and skills of the Sub-Advisor’s investment personnel who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the resources made available to such personnel. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for recommending, monitoring and replacing

Sub-Advisors and that the Manager recommended the Sub-Advisor based upon that program. Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the historical one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception (February 29, 2012) performance returns as of December 31, 2017, gross and net of proposed fees, of the Sub-Advisor in a composite managed in accordance with the proposed investment strategy for the Sub-Advisor’s portion of the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Fund, as compared to the historical performance returns of a current sub-advisor to the Fund’s global infrastructure investment sleeve and a relevant benchmark index. In addition, the Board reviewed the percentile rankings of the historical performance of the Sub-Advisor’s composite, net of proposed fees, in a relevant Morningstar category for each of the periods referenced above. The Board concluded, based upon the information provided, that the Sub-Advisor is qualified.

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed Sub-Advisory fee, noting that the Manager compensates sub-advisors from its own management fee so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board noted that the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule includes breakpoints and concluded that the sub-advisory fee schedule reflects an appropriate recognition of economies of scale at currently anticipated asset levels. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s representation that it does not have any advisory clients with a lower fee for the specific mandate that it will manage for the Fund and the Manager’s statement that it found the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule to be competitive. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered the character and amount of other fall-out benefits to be received by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisor intends to use Fund commissions to buy Section 28(e) eligible products and services. The Board also noted the Manager’s statement that, with the exception of such soft dollar benefits, there would be no known fall-out benefits to the Sub-Advisor in connection with its management of the global infrastructure investment sleeve of the Fund. The Board concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Ascend Sub-Advisory Agreement

On June 12, 2018, the Board considered for the Multi-Manager Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) the approval to renew the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Manager and Ascend Capital, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”).

25


 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Sub-Advisor, the investment approach of the Sub-Advisor, the experience and skills of the Sub-Advisor’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 the Sub-Advisor currently provides sub-advisory services for another series of PFI, and that the Board had reviewed and had approved for renewal that sub-advisory agreement at its September 2017 Board meeting. The Board noted that no Fund assets have been allocated to the Sub-Advisor’s management, and that subsequent Board approval would be requested before any such allocation was made. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for recommending, monitoring and replacing sub-advisors and that the Manager recommended the Sub-Advisor based upon that program.

Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the back-tested one-year, three-year and since inception (May 1, 2014) performance returns as of March 31, 2018, gross and net of proposed fees, of the Sub-Advisor in the proposed investment strategy for the equity long/short sleeve of the Fund (which included historical performance returns of the Sub-Advisor in a composite with the proposed investment strategy for the equity long/short sleeve of the Fund for the periods May 1, 2014 through March 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2018) as compared to the historical performance returns of a relevant benchmark index (one-year, three-year and since inception) and a relevant Morningstar category (one-year, three-year and since inception). The Board also reviewed the back-tested annual performance returns, gross and net of proposed fees, of the

Sub-Advisor in the same strategy for each of the last three calendar years (which included historical performance returns during the periods identified above) as compared to the relevant benchmark index (last four calendar years) and the relevant Morningstar category (last four calendar years). The Board concluded, based upon the information provided, that the Sub-Advisor is qualified.

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed sub-advisory fee, noting that the Manager compensates sub-advisors from its own management fee so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board concluded that, although the proposed sub-advisory fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule is appropriate at currently anticipated asset levels. The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s representation that the proposed sub-advisory fee is the lowest the Sub-Advisor negotiates for comparable strategies with similar assets under management allocations, and the Manager’s statement that it found the proposed sub-advisory fee to be competitive. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable. Other Benefits The Board also considered the character and amount of other fall-out benefits to be received by the Sub-Advisor. The Board noted that the Sub-Advisor intended to use Fund commissions to buy Section 28(e) eligible products and services. The Board concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory

Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the 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 Boards of Directors of Principal Funds, Inc. and Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. and the Board of Trustees of Principal Exchange-Traded Funds (the “Funds”) (the “Boards of 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 (other than members of the Boards of the Funds who are not also officers of the Funds), including the immediate family members of such individuals;

Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) 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 Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”) or an affiliate of PGI 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 in writing all relationships that may reasonably be thought to bear on independence between the auditor and the Funds or persons in financial reporting oversight roles with respect to any services provided by the auditor, its subsidiaries or affiliates as of the date of the communication, pursuant to Rule 3526 of the PCAOB. The primary independent auditor shall discuss with the Committee the potential effects of such relationships on the independence of the auditor. In addition, the primary independent auditor shall affirm, in writing, that, as of the date of the communication, it is independent within the meaning of the federal securities laws and Rule 3520 of the PCAOB.
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 nor PGI 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 PGI proposes to hire or promote the Former Employee. Neither the Funds nor PGI 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 PGI 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 PGI 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 (other than members of the Boards of the Funds who are not also officers of the Funds), 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 Boards of the Funds on June 12, 2017).

(e) (2) Pre-Approval Waivers. There were no services provided to the registrant by Ernst & Young that were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Substantially all work in connection with the audit of the registrant’s financial statements was performed by full-time employees of Ernst & Young.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees Ernst and Young billed to the registrant, the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of registrant's last two fiscal years were as follows.

August 31, 2017 - $152,535
August 31, 2018 - $207,305

(h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted

 


 

with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
