Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 16, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Principal Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) filed this Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 16, 2025, under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) to disclose its assets under management (AUM) by asset manager ahead of its quarterly earnings release.

The filing states that total AUM for Principal Financial Group was $784.3 billiona as of September 30, 2025, of which $601.6 billion is managed by Principal Asset Management - Investment Management and $150.7 billion by Principal Asset Management - International Pension. The company states that AUM will be presented in the same asset-manager format in its financial supplement for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which it expects to post to its investor relations website on or about October 27, 2025.

The filing is a quarterly disclosure of this kind rather than a new financial result. The filing also highlights the company's exposure during periods of market dislocation and wider return dispersion, pointing to its small- and mid-cap and international equity AUM, high yield and preferred securities in fixed income AUM, and exchange rate movements in emerging markets.
