Principal Exchange-Traded Funds has submitted an important filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), certifying that the form of its prospectus and statement of additional information is unchanged from its most recent filings. This update, filed on November 4, 2026, is significant as it assures investors and regulators that the fund's offerings remain consistent and compliant with regulatory standards.

This filing, identified as a 497J, is part of the routine process for investment funds to confirm that there are no differences in the prospectus from the last effective registration statement. The certification indicates that the Trust's most recent Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed on October 27, 2026, remains valid as of the effectiveness date of November 1, 2026.

Principal Exchange-Traded Funds, based in Des Moines, Iowa, operates within the investment management industry, focusing on providing a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The company has a diverse portfolio that includes various ETFs aimed at different market segments, such as high yield, value, and international equities.

The filing states: "Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Trust certifies the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed under 1933 Act Rule 497(b) or (c) would not have differed from that contained in the Trust’s most recent Post-Effective Amendment to its Registration Statement on Form N-1A." This statement underscores the stability and reliability of Principal's offerings in a competitive market.

The impact of this filing extends to investors, regulators, and competitors in the ETF space. Investors can feel reassured about the consistency of the fund's documentation, which is crucial for making informed investment decisions. Regulators benefit from the transparency, while competitors may view this stability as a benchmark for their own offerings.

Looking ahead, the filing does not specify any immediate next steps or actions required from the company or its investors. However, the ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency will likely continue to play a vital role in Principal's strategy moving forward.
