C000223418 Investment Objective and Strategy
Diversified Growth Managed Volatility Account describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Principal Variable Contracts Funds Inc.
Investment objective
The Account seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation, with an emphasis on managing volatility.
Principal investment strategy
"The Account operates as a fund of funds and invests in funds and exchange-traded funds (""ETFs"") of Principal Funds, Inc., PVC, Principal Exchange-Traded Funds and other fund complexes (collectively, the ""Underlying Funds""). The Account generally allocates approximately 65% of its assets to equity index Underlying Funds to gain broad market capitalization exposure to both U.S. and non-U.S investments and approximately 35% to fixed-income index Underlying Funds for intermediate duration fixed-income exposure. The asset class diversification of the Account is designed to moderate overall price volatility and cushion severe losses in any one investment sector. The Account's assets are allocated among Underlying Funds in accordance with the Account's investment objective and based on qualitative and quantitative analyses and the relative market valuations of the Underlying Funds.
Without shareholder approval, the Advisor may alter the percentage ranges and/or substitute or remove Underlying Funds when it deems appropriate. The Account is re-balanced monthly. The Underlying Funds utilize derivative strategies. A derivative is a financial arrangement, the value of which is derived from, or based on, a traditional security, asset, or market index. Specifically, the Underlying Funds invest in equity index futures and ETFs to manage the equity exposure, as well as vertical call spreads and vertical put spreads as part of an active strategy intended to reduce volatility. Vertical spreads are the simultaneous purchase and sale of two options of the same type with the same expiration date but two different strike prices. The strike price is the fixed price at which the owner of the option can buy (in the case of a call), or sell (in the case of a put), the underlying security."
