Brochure Summary

Overview

Introduction Principal Real Estate is a leading real estate investment management firm whose capabilities encompass an extensive range of investments, including private real estate equity, private real estate debt, public real estate debt, public real estate equity securities, and public equity infrastructure securities, in both domestic and select international markets. Principal Real Estate,, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFG). Principal Real Estate’s Services Principal Real Estate provides investment advisory services concerning private real estate equity, private real estate debt, public real estate debt securities (such as commercial mortgage-backed securities), and public real estate equity securities (issued by real estate investment trusts and other companies involved in the commercial real estate business) to institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and individuals. Principal Real Estate also provides these same investment advisory services for global listed infrastructure securities issued by publicly traded infrastructure companies. Advice on these strategies is provided in both separate account arrangements and commingled funds. Principal Real Estate generally provides continuous investment advice based on the defined investment strategies, objectives, and policies of its clients. This arrangement is documented through an investment management agreement, which incorporates investment management restrictions and guidelines developed in consultation with each client, as well as any additional services required by the client. These restrictions and guidelines customarily impose limitations on the investments that may be made and the percentage of account assets that may be invested in certain types of instruments. Clients may also choose to restrict investments in specific investments or groups of investments for social, environmental, or other reasons. Principal Real Estate also provides certain non-discretionary services to clients, such as model portfolios. Prospective clients or investors may also purchase our services indirectly by purchasing interests in Principal sponsored mutual funds or other commingled vehicles advised or sub-advised by Principal Real Estate or an affiliate (e.g., private funds, collective investment trusts, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), or open-end or closed-end investment companies) rather than establishing a direct relationship through an investment management agreement. Clients or investors should consider the features of these options and their own specific needs and circumstances when determining the most suitable investment and should carefully review the offering documents of these investment vehicles to understand the investment objectives, strategies, and risks of each vehicle. For our private funds, investment advice is provided directly to the funds, subject to the discretion and control of the funds’ general partners (or analogous party), and not to investors in the fund based upon their individual needs. Fund investors may have conflicting investment, tax, and other interests with respect to their investments in the fund. Consequently, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with decisions made by Principal Real Estate that may be more beneficial for one investor than for another investor, especially with respect to investors’ individual tax situations. In selecting and structuring investments appropriate for a private fund, Principal Real Estate, and the private fund’s general partner (or analogous party) will consider the investment and tax objectives of the applicable private fund, not the investment, tax, or other objectives of any investor individually. Principal Real Estate from time to time enters into side letter arrangements with certain investors in private funds. Side letters provide such investors with different or preferential rights or terms of the private fund. Such differences and preferences may include but are not limited to different fund fee structures; other preferential economic rights; information rights; waiver of certain confidentiality obligations; co-investment rights; redemption; certain rights or terms necessary in light of particular legal, regulatory or policy requirements of a particular investor; additional obligations and restrictions with respect to structuring particular investments in light of the legal and regulatory considerations applicable to a particular investor; or preferential liquidity or transfer rights. Except as otherwise agreed with an investor or otherwise set out in the private fund’s organizational documents, Principal Real Estate and its affiliates are not required to disclose the terms of side letter arrangements with other investors in the same private fund. The organizational documents of a private fund establish complex arrangements among the funds, Principal Real Estate, investors, and other relevant parties. From time to time, questions may arise regarding certain parties’ rights and obligations in certain situations, some of which may not have been contemplated upon the negotiation and execution of such documents. In some instances, the operative provisions of the organizational documents, if any, may be broad, silent on relevant provisions, conflicting, ambiguous, and vague, and may allow for multiple reasonable interpretations. While Principal Real Estate will construe the relevant provisions in good faith and in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duty to the fund and legal obligations, the interpretations used may not be the most favorable to the private fund investors. Services required by Principal Real Estate’s private funds may, for certain reasons including efficiency and economic considerations, be outsourced in whole or in part to third parties, in each case in the discretion of Principal Real Estate or their general partners (or analogous parties). Principal Real Estate and its affiliates have an incentive to outsource such services at the expense of the private funds to, among other things, leverage
the use of Principal Real Estate’s personnel. Such services may include, without limitation, property management; investor reporting; private fund administration and accounting; custodial; valuation; and legal. Outsourcing may not occur universally for all private funds and, accordingly, certain costs may be incurred by one private fund for a third-party service provider that are not incurred for comparable services by other private funds. Generally, each private fund has established an advisory board, consisting of representatives of investors. A conflict of interest exists when some, but not all, investors are permitted to designate a member to the advisory board. The advisory board may also have the ability to approve conflicts of interests with respect to Principal Real Estate and the private fund, which could be disadvantageous to the investors, including those investors who do not designate a member to the advisory board. Representatives of the advisory board may have various business and other relationships with the adviser and its partners, employees, and affiliates. These relationships may influence the decisions made by such members of the advisory board. The private funds from time to time co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures, or other similar entities or arrangements. These investments may involve risks that would not otherwise be present in investments where a third party is not involved. Such risks include, among other things, the possibility that the third party may have differing economic or business goals than those of the private fund, or that the third party may be in a position to take actions that are inconsistent with the investment objectives of the private fund. There may also be instances where the private fund will be liable for the actions of such third-party co-investors. There can be no assurance that the return of a private fund participating in a transaction with a third party would be equal to and not less favorable as it would have been had such conflict not existed. Separately Managed Accounts (SMA) / Wrap Fee Programs/Directed Brokerage Principal Real Estate provides investment advisory services to a variety of managed account programs, including separately managed accounts or wrap fee programs, unified managed account programs, and model portfolio programs (collectively, “Managed Accounts”). There are several different types of Managed Account programs offered by third-party broker-dealers, banks, or other investment advisers affiliated with broker-dealers (“Program Sponsors”). In discretionary Managed Account programs, Principal Real Estate is responsible for implementing its investment recommendations. Principal Real Estate may handle the placement of trades for certain accounts with brokers other than the Program Sponsor or its affiliate(s) (e.g., through “step outs”), but typically, the majority of trades will be directed to the Program Sponsor or its affiliate(s) for execution. In “Model-Delivery” Managed Account programs, Principal Real Estate is retained by the Program Sponsor to provide non- discretionary research and portfolio recommendations that are not tailored to any program participant. The Program Sponsor has discretion to accept, modify, or reject Principal Real Estate’s recommendations and assumes the responsibility for implementing transactions for Managed Accounts. Principal Real Estate generally does not have information regarding participants in Model-Delivery Managed Accounts. Generally, for Managed Accounts comprised of ERISA plan clients, Principal Real Estate's services are ordinarily described in the ERISA plan client’s contract with the Program Sponsor and/or in the Program Sponsor’s program brochure. Services Provided to Non-US Clients Principal Real Estate may also act as an investment adviser and may conduct marketing activity with respect to clients and prospective clients domiciled in foreign jurisdictions. In some instances, Principal Real Estate may do so without maintaining regulatory licenses or registrations in those jurisdictions, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Clients and prospective clients in such jurisdictions should consider whether the regulatory framework of their own jurisdiction imposes restrictions upon them regarding hiring an investment adviser that does not hold local regulatory licenses or registrations. Clients and prospective clients should also consider whether the regulatory framework to which Principal Real Estate is subject provides sufficient protections, given that Principal Real Estate may not be subject to the regulatory framework with which they are familiar in their own jurisdiction. Global Asset Management Principal Real Estate may utilize services from, and provide services to, our U.S. affiliates and non-U.S. affiliates. These services may include investment advisory services, client relations, investment monitoring, accounting administration, investment research, and trading. To facilitate this collaboration, Principal Real Estate has entered into sub-advisory agreements, intercompany agreements, and “participating affiliate” arrangements with certain non-U.S. affiliates. Each U.S. affiliate is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and each non-US affiliate is registered with the appropriate respective regulators in their home jurisdictions. Under the participating affiliate arrangements, certain employees of Principal Real Estate’s non-U.S. affiliates serve as “associated persons” of Principal Real Estate when providing certain of these services, including placing orders for clients; or providing asset management, research, and real estate property acquisition and disposition services for private real estate equity commingled funds and individually managed accounts. In this capacity, these employees are subject to Principal Real Estate’s oversight and supervision. Assets Under Management Principal Real Estate managed $71,826,000,416 in discretionary assets and $22,087,366,911 in non- discretionary assets as of December 31, 2023.
