Summary

Principal Blue Chip has an excellent team and an approach that's easy to get behind, but there’s no denying it competes in a tough category. As a result, a revised assessment of excess return opportunities for funds means more of this strategy's Morningstar Medalist Ratings than usual have shifted with this update even without changes to pillar ratings or fund costs.
