2015 Financial highlights
Principal delivered $1.3 billion of after-tax operating earnings in 2015, despite continued challenging macroeconomic conditions.
Total company net cash flows of $23.1 billion for 2015 were 4 percent of beginning of year AUM, as we continued to attract and retain retail, retirement and institutional investors. This helped drive AUM to $527.4 billion at year end.
These results demonstrate the benefit of our broad diversification—by business, geography, investment platform and asset class.
