Description: USMC Principal U.S. Mega-Cap

The Principal U.S. Mega-Cap ETF (USMC) invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. companies with mega market capitalizations, defined for this fund as those falling in the top 50th percentile of the S&P 500 Index at the time of purchase. The fund is structured as a non-diversified ETF listed on NASDAQ.

Mega-cap companies are typically the largest publicly traded U.S. corporations, historically concentrated in sectors such as technology, communications, and consumer discretionary. The S&P 500 Index, used here as the benchmark for defining mega-cap eligibility, is a market-capitalization-weighted index of 500 large-cap U.S. companies.
