PBINX Investment Objective and Strategy
Bond Market Index Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Principal Funds, Inc..
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide current income.
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal circumstances, the Fund uses a passive investment approach known as ""sampling"" to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments designed to track the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the ""Index"") at the time of purchase. The Index is composed of investment grade, fixed rate debt issues with maturities of one year or more, including government securities, corporate securities, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products). The Index is rebalanced monthly to reflect securities that have dropped out of or entered the Index in the preceding month. Because of the practical difficulties and expense of purchasing all of the securities in the Index, the Fund does not purchase all of the securities in the Index.
Instead, the Fund uses a sampling methodology to purchase securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund maintains an average portfolio duration that is in line with the duration of the Index, which as of August 31, 2017 was 5.93 years. The Fund will not concentrate (invest more than 25% of its assets) its investments in a particular industry except to the extent the Index is so concentrated. Because the Fund's portfolio turnover rate during the most recent fiscal year was more than 100%, the Fund is considered actively traded."
