Principal Variable Contracts (PVC) U.S. LargeCap Buffer Series Daily Values

The PVC U.S. LargeCap Buffer Series accounts are designed to provide some downside protection along with uncapped upside participation. Each account will offer a segment period of one year, starting at inception. The Buffer Series Accounts are based on the S&P 500 Price Return Index and are available in most of our variable annuity products.

The accounts strive to achieve full participation on the first 10% of gains and partial participation on gains above 10%.

The daily defined outcome values for each account are shown below.

Investors purchasing the fund intra-period will achieve a different defined outcome than those who entered on day one. The remaining cap represents the maximum return the fund can achieve at its gross price. The reference index may need to rise higher or lower than the remaining cap before the remaining cap is realized. If the remaining buffer is greater than the fund's starting buffer, a portion of the buffer will be realized before the downside before buffer begins. After the downside before buffer has been realized, the final portion of the buffer will begin again.
The buffer funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. These strategies could limit the upside participation of the buffer fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. The buffer provides limited protection in the event of a market downturn, the buffer fund does not provide principal protection, and an investment may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment. The buffer fund may invest in FLEX options, which are associated with additional risks. Due to the cost of the options used by the fund, the correlation of the fund’s performance to that of the index is expected to be less than if the fund invested directly in the index without using options and could be substantially less. These funds may not be available in all states.

The potential return an investor can receive is subject to the upside cap (Tier 1) and the partial participation beyond the cap (Tier 2). If the index grows beyond the cap, the investor will not experience the full gains. The investor will receive a percentage of any gains beyond the cap. This amount, net of fees and expenses, is the maximum return an investor can achieve over its outcome period.

Variable annuities are long-term investment products designed for retirement purposes and are subject to market fluctuation, investment risk, and possible loss of principal. Variable annuities contain both investment and insurance components and have fees and charges, including mortality and expense, administration, investment option fees. An annuity's value fluctuates with the market value of the underlying investment options, and all assets accumulate tax-deferred. Withdrawals of earnings are taxable as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and cash surrender value.
Before investing, carefully consider the investment option objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Contact a financial professional or visit principal.com for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Please read carefully before investing.
All guarantees and benefits of the insurance policy are subject to the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company. They are not backed by the broker-dealer and/or insurance agency selling the policy, or any affiliates of those entities other than the issuing company and none makes any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability of the issuer.
Tax-qualified retirement arrangements, such as IRAs, are tax-deferred. You derive no additional benefit form the tax deferral feature of the annuity. Consequently, an annuity should be used to fund an IRA, or other tax qualified retirement arrangement, to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. These features may include guaranteed lifetime income, guaranteed minimum interest rates, and death benefits without surrender charges.
