Investors should carefully study the fund’s characteristics, conditions, returns, and risks before making any investment decision. PRINCIPAL JEQ concentrates investments in Japan; investors should consider overall portfolio diversification. The management company may use derivatives for foreign exchange risk hedging at its discretion (dynamic hedging) within a range of 0%–105% of exposure. As the fund invests in foreign securities, it may be subject to foreign exchange risk, and investors may incur losses or receive returns lower than the initial investment amount.
