Economic & Financial Market Review

Global economic growth has slowed down as the economy enters late cycle. High inflation and accelerated hawkish monetary policy are presenting headwinds. United States (U.S.) real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at an average quarter-over-quarter annualized rate of 3.6% in the four quarters ending 1Q 2022. Germany and Japan GDP growth rates were 3.8% and 0.7% respectively. China GDP growth was challenged by resurgence of COVID-19 cases, but stimulative policies should provide a floor. Global manufacturing Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) remained well above 50 in the last twelve months (a number above 50 means manufacturing activity is expanding and number below 50 indicates contraction), and the latest reading as of June 2022 is 52.1, 4.9 lower than June 2021. The slowdown trend was broad based, but developed markets readings were still higher.

Geopolitical disruptions and lingering supply constraints continued to drive inflation upwards. Global inflation increased from 3.0% in June 2021 to 6.4% in May 2022. High inflation and the risk of it getting stickier led some global central banks to aggressive tightening paths. Global policy rates rose by 97 basis points (bps) in the last twelve months. The United States Federal Reserve hiked interest rates three times, totaling 150bps in increases, with more hikes already being priced in. Hawkish monetary policies have caused global financial conditions to tighten sharply since beginning of the year.

Global earnings growth slowed but remained strong in the last twelve months ending June 2022. Compared to the same time last year, MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) trailing twelve months earnings per share (TTM EPS) grew by 18%. MSCI World Index TTM EPS increased by 20%, much higher than MSCI EM Index’s 7%. Within developed markets, MSCI Europe Index earnings grew at a faster pace than did the U.S. Within the U.S., Midcap and Smallcap delivered much higher earnings growth (34% and 37%) than Largecap (21%). Additionally, value beat growth (24% vs 17%). Largecap tech firms, represented by the NASDAQ 100 Index, delivered 12% earnings growth.

Global equities outperformed global fixed income in the last twelve months, but both delivered negative returns. In USD terms, MSCI ACWI Index recorded -16% loss year-over-year while the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index ended -17% lower. Within equities, developed markets outperformed emerging markets by 11%, and U.S. outperformed developed market ex-U.S. by 4%. Among major markets, China was the worst performer with -32% loss, bringing MSCI EM Index down to -25%. Within the U.S., Largecap and value stocks outperformed. The Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index delivered a -9% loss as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rose from 1.47% to 3.01%. Global high yield bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, and global treasury bonds all delivered similar returns between -17% and -18%. DXY Index, a proxy for U.S. Dollar strength, increased by 13%. Commodity prices, represented by the S&P GSCI Total Return Index, increased by 45%, and Nymex crude oil rose from 73.5 to 105.8 USD/barrel.

Security selection positively impacted returns due to the outperformance from overweights to CBL & Associates, Fresh Market Inc, Pixelle Specialty Solutions LLC, Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, and DKT Finance. Sector allocation outperformed due to an underweight to communications and an overweight to basic industry.

Underperformance came from our positioning within the capital structures of US LBM Holdings, Dish, TMS International, and Olympus Water. From a sector perspective, our underweight to technology and overweight to finance companies had a negative impact on performance.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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:

Security Valuation. The Funds may invest in series of Principal Funds, Inc. and other investment funds, which may include money market funds and other registered open-end investment companies. Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at the respective fund's closing NAV per share 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. 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 Principal Global Investors, LLC (the Advisor) under procedures established and periodically reviewed by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

The value of foreign securities used in computing the NAV 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 Fund’s NAV are reflected in the Fund’s NAV and these securities are valued at fair value. 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 American

Depository Receipts (“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 NAV, for example, weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, the Fund’s NAV could be significantly affected on days when shares are not able to be issued or redeemed by APs.

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 Advisor, or any sub-advisor, is authorized to make such determinations subject to such oversight by the Trust's Board of Trustees, as may occasionally be necessary.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 respective Fund as of June 30, 2022:

Principal International Adaptive Multi-Factor ETF    
Australian Dollar 6.92 %
British Pound Sterling 13.01 %
Canadian Dollar 15.37 %
Euro 23.09 %
Japanese Yen 19.40 %
Swiss Franc 9.04 %
Principal Millennials ETF    
Euro 11.93 %

 

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. Callable debt securities purchased at a premium are amortized to the earliest call date and to the callable amount, if other than par.

Distributions from Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") may be characterized as ordinary income, capital gain, or a return of capital to the Funds. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, estimates are used in reporting the character of income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF receives substantial distributions from holdings in REITs.

Capital Share Transactions. Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in a Creation Unit or Creation Unit Aggregations. Except when aggregated into at least a Creation Unit, Shares are not redeemable.

The consideration for the purchase of a Creation Unit or Creation Unit Aggregations of a Fund generally consists of a basket of cash and/or securities that the Fund specifies each business day. To offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations, APs are subject to standard creation and redemption transaction fees.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Expenses. For all Funds, a unitary investment management and advisory fee is charged. The Advisor covers all operating expenses through the investment management and advisory fee with the exception of 12b-1 fees, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses, if applicable.

Dividends to Shareholders. Dividends to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends 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 amortization of premiums and discounts, futures contracts, net operating losses, sales of passive foreign investment companies, partnership investments, foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, tax straddles, mortgage-backed securities, certain preferred securities, redemptions-in-kind, 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 (“IRC”). 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 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 Funds each intend to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the IRC and they intend to distribute each year substantially all of their 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 their 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 June 30, 2022, the Funds did not record any such tax benefit or expense in the accompanying financial statements. The statute of limitations remains open for the last three years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.

Foreign Taxes. Certain 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 the Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848); Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform. The guidance is applicable to contracts referencing London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management expects the ASU will not have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820); Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which provides clarifying guidance that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management expects the ASU will not have a material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Tracking Basket Structure. Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and does not publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the Fund publishes each business day on its website a “Tracking Basket” which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the Fund but is not the Fund's actual portfolio. The Fund's Tracking Basket structure may affect the price at which shares of the Fund trade in the secondary market. Although the Tracking Basket is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund at or close to the Fund's NAV, there is a risk that market prices will vary significantly from NAV.

3. Operating Policies

Contingent Convertible Securities (CoCos). As footnoted in the Schedules of Investments, certain of the Funds invest in contingent convertible securities. 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 future 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.

Cross Trades. The Funds may engage in cross trades. A cross trade is a purchase or sale transaction between affiliated portfolios executed directly or through an intermediary. Mutual funds and other managed portfolios may be considered affiliated if they have a common investment advisor, so a fund may be considered affiliated with any portfolio for which the fund's sub-advisor acts as an investment advisor. Such transactions are permissible provided that the conditions of Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act are satisfied. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not engage in cross trades.

Deposits with Counterparty. Cash pledged as collateral is reflected as an asset on the Statements 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. 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. As of June 30, 2022, deposits with counterparty for Principal Investment Grade Corporate Active ETF and Principal Spectrum Tax-Advantaged Dividend Active ETF were $99,850 and $17,285 respectively.

3. Operating Policies (continued)

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 its 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, typically 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 marginand are recorded by the Funds as variation margin receivable or payable on financial derivative instruments. For those contracts where daily variation margin payments are not received from or paid to the broker, the cumulative unrealized gains or losses are included in 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 Funds recognize 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.

Long and short U.S. Treasury futures contracts are used to obtain interest rate exposure in order to manage duration of the Principal Investment Grade Corporate Active ETF. The notional values of the futures contracts will vary in accordance with changing duration of this Fund.

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 secur ities.

Indemnification. In a normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve potential future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on management's experience, the risk of loss would be remote.

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.

Securities Lending. As footnoted in the Schedules of Investments, certain of the Funds may lend portfolio securities to approved brokerage firms to earn additional income. The Funds receive collateral, in the form of cash, against the loaned securities. During the period of the loan, the borrower must maintain collateral in an amount not less than 102% of the market value of the domestic and foreign fixed income loaned securities and 105% of the market value of the foreign equity loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is usually invested in a SEC-registered money market mutual fund and the Funds could realize a loss on such investments. Further, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. Securities lending income, net of related fees, is shown on the Statements of Operations.

3. Operating Policies (continued)

Senior Floating Rate Interests. The Fund 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. Borrowers of 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 LIBOR rate.

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 Schedule of Investments.

In connection with the senior floating rate interests, the Fund may also enter into unfunded loan commitments. All or a portion of the loan commitments may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the Borrower’s discretion. Therefore, the Fund 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 commitments on the statement of assets and liabilities and included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments on the statements of operations, as applicable. As of year end, the unfunded loan commitments are categorized as Level 2 within the disclosure hierarchy. As of June 30, 2022, there were no unfunded loan commitments.

Underlying Funds. An underlying fund may experience relatively large redemptions or purchases as the investee 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.

The Advisor is the advisor to Principal Funds, Inc., Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc., affiliates of the Advisor, and other asset allocation programs. The Advisor is committed to minimizing the potential impact of underlying fund risk to the extent consistent with pursuing the investment objectives of the investee funds which it manages. Each may face conflicts of interest in fulfilling its responsibilities to all such funds.

As of June 30, 2022, series of Principal Funds, Inc. and Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. owned the following percentages, in aggregate, of the outstanding Shares of the Funds listed below:

  Total Percentage of  
Fund Outstanding Shares Owned  
Principal Active High Yield ETF 76.88 %

3. Operating Policies (continued)

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

4. Fair Valuation      

 

Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling a security or transferring a liability 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 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. Investments which are generally included in this category include listed equities and listed derivatives.

Level 2 Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Investments which are generally included in this category include certain corporate bonds, senior floating rate interests, over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, mortgage-backed securities 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 common stocks.

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 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.

4. Fair Valuation (continued)

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 Funds’ 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, to the extent available.

Investments which are included in the Level 3 category may be 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.

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

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

During the period there were no significant purchases, sales, or transfers into or out of Level 3.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2022, in valuing the Funds' securities carried at fair value:

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.

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 and net realized gains on investments or from tax return of capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust 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 Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’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

184


 

purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’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 June 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, or agent banks 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 Exchange-Traded Funds
June 30, 2022 (unaudited)

As a shareholder of Principal Exchange-Traded Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Principal Exchange-Traded Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds.

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, except as noted in the following table.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table 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.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the Fund. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other fund.

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 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 fund. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 related materials.

The Audit Committee’s primary purpose is to assist the Board by serving 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 Fund Complex's business except the power to

1) issue stock, except as permitted by law; 2) recommend to the stockholders any action which requires stockholder approval; 3) amend the bylaws; or 4) 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. The Committee is responsible for evaluating Board membership and functions, committee membership and functions, insurance coverage, and legal matters. The Committee's nominating functions include selecting and nominating Independent Board Member candidates for election to the Board. Generally, the Committee requests nominee suggestions from Board Members and management. In addition, the Committee considers candidates recommended by shareholders of the Fund Complex. Recommendations should be submitted in writing to the Principal Funds Complex Secretary, in care of the Principal Funds Complex, 711 High Street, Des Moines, IA 50392. Such recommendations must include all information specified in the Committee’s charter and must conform with the procedures set forth in Appendix A thereto, which can

194


 

be found at https://www.principalglobal.com/documentdownload/160950. Examples of such information include the nominee’s biographical information; relevant educational and professional background of the nominee; the number of shares of each Fund owned of record and beneficially by the nominee and by the recommending shareholder; any other information regarding the nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of board members; whether the nominee is an “interested person” of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act; and the written consent of the nominee to be named as a nominee and serve as a board member if elected.

When evaluating a potential nominee for Independent Board Member, the Committee may consider, among other factors: educational background; relevant business and industry experience; whether the person is an "interested person" of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act; and whether the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary to attend meetings and perform the duties of an Independent Board Member. In addition, the Committee may consider whether a candidate’s background, experience, skills and views would complement the background, experience, skills and views of other Board Members and would contribute to the diversity of the Board. The

Committee meets with 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 Board does not regularly use the services of professional search firms to identify or evaluate potential candidates or nominees.

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

Additional information about the Fund is available in the Prospectuses and the Statement of Additional Information dated November 1, 2021 and as supplemented.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Board of Trustees of Principal Exchange-Traded Funds (the “Board”) met on March 15, 2022 to review the liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) applicable to all series of the Principal Exchange-Traded Funds. (each a “Fund”), pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) for the period from December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”).  At the meeting, the committee designated by the Board to administer the Program, the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), addressed the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, the operation of each Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, where applicable, and any material changes made to the Program during the Reporting Period.

The Committee noted key factors it considered when assessing, managing and reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk. Such factors included each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including (a) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund, (b) the extent to which the strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers, and (c) the use of borrowings for investment purposes and use of leveraged derivatives and financial commitment obligations; short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources; and each Fund’s shareholder ownership concentration.

There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period. The Committee concluded, based on the operation of the functions as described in the Report, that the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

During the period covered by this report, the Board of Trustees of Principal Exchange-Traded Funds (“PETF”) approved: (1) a management agreement between PETF and Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI” or “Manager”) related to the addition of the PETF Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF; and (2) a subadvisory agreement between PGI and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC related to the addition of the PETF Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF.

Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF

On December 14, 2021, the Board met to consider for the newly established Principal Real Estate Active Opportunities ETF (the “Fund”) the approval of a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between PETF, on behalf of the Fund, and Principal Global Investors, LLC (the “Manager”) and a subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Manager and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (the “Subadvisor”). The Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement are together referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” Based upon their review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund to approve the Advisory Agreements and, accordingly, recommended the approval of the Advisory Agreements. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative in the analysis, but rather the Board considered a variety of factors.

With respect to the Management Agreement, the Board considered, among other factors, that the Manager serves as the investment advisor to the existing series of PETF, that the Manager has had a long-term relationship with PETF, and that the Manager has demonstrated a long-term commitment to support the Principal Funds. The Board concluded that a long-term relationship with a capable and conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board considered various factors, including the following, and made certain findings and conclusions with regard thereto, in approving the Management Agreement.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided under the Management Agreement, including administrative services. The Board noted that, in connection with the 2021 annual renewal of the management agreements for the other Principal Funds, the Board had: (1) reviewed the services provided by the Manager to the other Principal Funds under their respective management agreements; (2) considered the experience and skills of senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under the management agreements and the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Manager to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Manager and concluded that appropriate resources were provided under the management agreements for the other Principal Funds; (3) noted that the Manager’s process for the selection of subadvisors emphasizes the selection of Principal-affiliated subadvisors that are determined to be qualified under the Manager’s due diligence process and concluded that this due diligence process was working well; and (4) considered the compliance program established by

196


 

the Manager for the Principal Funds and their respective series, as applicable, the quality of that program and the level of compliance attained by the Principal Funds. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Manager to the Fund under the Management Agreement are expected to be satisfactory.

The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Subadvisor, the investment approach of the Subadvisor, the experience and skills of the investment personnel of the Subadvisor 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 Subadvisor currently provides subadvisory services to six other series of Principal Funds, and that the Board had reviewed and had approved for renewal those subadvisory agreements at its September 2021 Board meeting. In addition, the Board considered the Manager’s program for recommending, monitoring and replacing subadvisors and that the Manager recommended the Subadvisor based upon that program. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor to the Fund under the Subadvisory Agreement are expected to be satisfactory.

Investment Performance

Because the Fund is a newly created series, the Board did not review the performance of the Fund as no track record was available.

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability

The Board considered the proposed management fee rate for the Fund. The Board noted that the Manager proposed a unitary management fee for the Fund. The Board also received information from the Manager, based upon data supplied by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, comparing the proposed unitary management fee rate for the Fund to the total expense ratios of funds in a peer group selected by Broadridge. The Board also considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the services to be provided to that Fund under the Management Agreement. The Board concluded that, although the proposed management fee schedule for the Fund does not include breakpoints, the management fee schedule is appropriate at currently anticipated asset levels.

With respect to the subadvisory fee rate proposed to be paid to the Subadvisor under the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board noted that the Manager compensates the Subadvisor from its own management fee so that shareholders pay only the management fee. The Board further noted that the Subadvisor is an affiliated company of the Manager. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services to be provided under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Board noted that although the proposed subadvisory fee schedule for the Fund does not include breakpoints, the subadvisory fee schedule is appropriate at currently anticipated asset levels. The Board considered the Manager’s statement that it found the proposed subadvisory fee schedule under the Subadvisory Agreement to be reasonable and competitive.

In addition, in evaluating the proposed management and subadvisory fees, the Board considered the Manager’s statements regarding the expected asset level that will be required for the Fund to

197


 

break even. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed management and subadvisory fee schedules were reasonable.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits to be received by the Manager and the Subadvisor. The Board noted the Manager’s statement that the Subadvisor intends to use Fund commissions to buy Section 28(e) eligible products and services consistent with its use of commissions for the other equity portfolios it currently manages, as well as the Manager’s statement that there would be no known fall-out benefits to the Manager or Subadvisor in connection with the management of the Fund outside the use of soft dollars. The Board concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the incidental benefits to be received by the Manager and the Subadvisor were appropriate.

Overall Conclusions

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of each Advisory Agreement, including the fee rates payable thereunder, are fair and reasonable and that approval of each of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund.
