PSBNX Investment Objective and Strategy
SmallCap 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 long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations at the time of purchase. For this Fund, companies with small market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 2000 Index (as of December 31, 2017 , this range was between approximately $22.5 million and $9.3 billion ). The Fund invests in equity securities with value and/or growth characteristics and constructs an investment portfolio that has a blend of equity securities with these characteristics. Investing in value equity securities is an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The growth orientation selection emphasizes buying equity securities of companies whose potential for growth of capital and earnings is expected to be above average.
The Fund does not have a policy of preferring one of these categories over the other.
