The Principal U.S. Mega-Cap ETF (USMC) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of U.S. companies with very large market capitalizations. To qualify as mega-cap, a company must have a market capitalization in the top 50th percentile of the S&P 500 Index at the time of purchase - meaning USMC targets the largest and most established U.S. businesses. The fund is classified as non-diversified, which allows it to concentrate its holdings in fewer issuers compared to diversified funds, potentially amplifying both gains and risks. Listed on NASDAQ since its 2017 inception, USMC falls within the Large Blend ETF category, reflecting its focus on large-cap U.S. equities across a blend of growth and value styles.
Mega-cap U.S. companies typically include dominant firms in sectors such as technology, consumer discretionary, healthcare, and financial services. These businesses often benefit from established brand recognition, global scale, and resilient cash flows, which can make them relatively stable long-term holdings compared to smaller-cap equivalents.
