This report is filed quarterly to disclose assets under management (“AUM”) by asset manager, prior to the availability of Principal Financial Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”) quarterly earnings release. The amounts presented herein will be consistent with the format of AUM by asset manager and presented again in such format within the Company’s financial supplement for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, when that document is posted to the Company’s investor relations web site on or about February 9, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025, the assets under management for Principal Financial Group were $781.0 billion, of which $593.9 billion is managed by Principal Asset Management - Investment Management and $153.9 billion is managed by Principal Asset Management - International Pension.
This total includes $13.0 billion attributable to operations disposed in the fourth quarter of 2025 in Principal Asset Management – Investment Management.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, excluding the aforementioned operations disposed, a combination of foreign currency translation, market performance, and other items not reported as part of the Company’s net cash flow, had an approximate 1.5% positive impact as a percentage of beginning period AUM.
During times of market dislocations and a wider dispersion of returns, it is important to note our exposure to small, mid-cap, and international products in equity AUM, high yield and preferred securities exposure in fixed income AUM, and exchange rate movement in emerging markets.
