From the latest earnings call
- CEO Deanna Strable said quarterly companywide net cash flow was negative $11 billion, largely due to active-equity strategies, while private markets and active ETFs attracted inflows.
- CFO Joel Pitz said Principal expects full-year share repurchases toward the low end of its target range after acquiring Beam Benefits, which was not in its outlook.
