assets under management financial

"assets under management for Principal Financial Group"

Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.

net cash flow financial

"not reported as part of the Company’s net cash flow"

Net cash flow is the change in a company's cash balance over a period, calculated as cash in minus cash out from its operations, investments and financing. It matters to investors because it shows whether a business is actually generating or consuming cash—like a household bank balance that rises when paychecks and sales exceed bills and falls when spending outpaces income—affecting the company’s ability to pay debts, reinvest or return money to shareholders.

operations disposed AUM financial

"Operations disposed AUM in the current quarter"

foreign currency translation financial

"foreign currency translation, market performance"

Foreign currency translation is the process of converting financial statements prepared in one currency into another currency so they can be combined or compared. Investors care because exchange rate swings can change reported revenue, profit and asset values even when a company’s underlying business hasn’t changed — like converting vacation spending back to your home money and seeing the total rise or fall depending on the day’s exchange rate.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, a combination of foreign currency translation, market performance, operations disposed, and other items not reported as part of the Company’s net cash flow, had an approximate 1.5% negative impact as a percentage of beginning period AUM.
