- Principal Blue Chip Fund (PBCKX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of large market capitalization companies exhibiting blue chip characteristics, with a focus on those demonstrating potential for capital growth and above-average earnings; the fund is non-diversified and includes securities of foreign companies domiciled in developed or emerging markets. It employs a highly active investment approach emphasizing owner-operators, resulting in higher active share and more concentrated top holdings compared to peers, benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Growth Index within the large growth category. Top holdings as of October 31, 2025, include Microsoft Corp. (15.40%), Amazon.com Inc. (12.35%), NVIDIA Corp. (7.90%), Brookfield Corp. (6.58%), and TransDigm Group Inc. (5.13%), managed by K. William Nolin, CFA (36 years experience), and Thomas Rozycki, CFA (25 years experience).
