dated July 31, 2013, as supplemented from time to time

Disclosure Related to Sales Charges and Shareholder Privileges

Certain changes to the sales charges for Class A shares of certain Funds and to shareholder privileges for the Funds were previously disclosed in a supplement dated July 1, 2013. Those changes have been incorporated into the Prospectus, but are not effective until October 1, 2013.

Accordingly, the following changes to the Prospectus are effective prior to October 1, 2013.

The Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) for Class A shares in the Shareholder Fees table in the Fund Summaries for the PIMCO Short Asset Investment and PIMCO Short-Term Funds is 0.50%.

The footnote to the “PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment and PIMCO Short-Term Funds – Class A Shares” table in the “Classes of Shares – Sales Charges – Initial Sales Charges – Class A Shares” section of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

  *

As shown, investors that purchase $250,000 or more of the Fund’s Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, certain purchasers of $250,000 or more of Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 0.50% (or 0.75% in the case of the PIMCO Low Duration Fund) if the shares are redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase. See “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges – Class A Shares” below.

The second paragraph of the “Classes of Shares – Sales Charges – Initial Sales Charges – Class A Shares – Combined Purchase Privilege and Right of Accumulation (Breakpoints)” section of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The term “Qualifying Investor” refers to:

 

  1.

an individual, such individual’s spouse or domestic partner, as recognized by applicable state law, such individual’s children under the age of 21 years, or such individual’s siblings (each a “family member”) (including family trust* accounts established by such a family member); or

  2.

a trustee or other fiduciary for a single trust (except family trusts* noted above), estate or fiduciary account although more than one beneficiary may be involved; or

  3.

an employee benefit plan of a single employer.

 

  *

For the purpose of determining whether a purchase would qualify for a reduced sales charge under the Combined Purchase Privilege or Right of Accumulation, a “family trust” is one in which a family member(s) described in section (1) above is/are a beneficiary/ies and such person(s) and/or another family member is the trustee.


The first paragraph of the “Classes of Shares – Sales Charges – Initial Sales Charges – Class A Shares – Letter of Intent” section of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Letter of Intent. Investors may also obtain a reduced sales charge on purchases of Class A shares by means of a written Letter of Intent, which expresses an intent to invest not less than $50,000 (or $100,000 for certain funds) within a period of 13 months in Class A shares of the Eligible Fund(s) in this prospectus. The maximum intended investment allowable in a Letter of Intent is $1,000,000 (except for Class A shares of the PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment and PIMCO Short-Term Funds for which the maximum intended investment amount is $100,000). Each purchase of shares under a Letter of Intent will be made at the public offering price or prices applicable at the time of such purchase to a single purchase of the dollar amount indicated in the Letter of Intent. At the investor’s option, a Letter of Intent may include purchases of Class A shares of any Eligible Fund made not more than 90 days prior to the date the Letter of Intent is signed; however, the 13 month period during which the Letter of Intent is in effect will begin on the date of the earliest purchase to be included and the sales charge on any purchases prior to the Letter of Intent will not be adjusted. A Letter of Intent is not a binding obligation to purchase the full amount indicated. Shares purchased with the first 5% of the amount indicated in the Letter of Intent will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in your name) to secure payment of the higher sales charges applicable to the shares actually purchased in the event the full intended amount is not purchased.

The “Classes of Shares – Sales Charges – Contingent Deferred Sales Charges – Class A Shares” section of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Unless you are eligible for a waiver, if you purchase $1,000,000 ($250,000 in the case of the PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) or more of Class A shares (and, thus, pay no initial sales charge) of a Fund, you will be subject to a 1% (0.75% in the case of the PIMCO Low Duration Fund and 0.50% in the case of the PIMCO Short Asset Investment and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) CDSC if you sell (redeem) your Class A shares within 18 months of their purchase. The Class A CDSC does not apply if you are otherwise eligible to purchase Class A shares without an initial sales charge or are eligible for a waiver of the CDSC. See “Reductions and Waivers of Initial Sales Charges and CDSCs” below.

If an investor intends to purchase Class C shares: (i) for more than one Fund and the aggregate purchase price for all such purchases will exceed $499,999 ($249,999 for the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short-Term and PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income Funds) for Class C shares; or (ii) for one Fund in a series of transactions and the aggregate purchase amount will exceed $499,999 ($249,999 for the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short-Term and PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income Funds) for Class C shares, then in either such event the investor should consider whether purchasing another share class may be in the investor’s best interests.

As shown, investors who purchase more than $1,000,000 of any Fund’s Class A shares ($250,000 in the case of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) will not pay any initial sales charge on such purchase. However, except with regard to purchases of Class A shares of the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds and certain purchases of Class A shares of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds described in Note 4 below, purchasers of $1,000,000 ($250,000 in the case of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) or more of Class A shares (other than those purchasers described below under “Sales at Net Asset Value” where no commission is paid) will be subject to a CDSC of up to 1% (0.50% in the case of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds and 0.75% in the case of the PIMCO Low Duration Fund) if such shares are redeemed during the first 18 months after such shares are purchased unless such purchaser is eligible for a waiver of the CDSC as described under “Waiver of Contingent Deferred Sales Charges” above. See “Class A Deferred Sales Charge” below.

 

(2) 

The Distributor will pay a commission to dealers that sell amounts of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares according to the following tiered schedule: 1.00% of the first $2,000,000.99, 0.75% of amounts from $2,000,001 to $5,000,000.99, and 0.50% of amounts over $5,000,001. These payments are not made in connection with sales to employer-sponsored plans. The Distributor will then also pay to such dealers a Rule 12b-1 trail fee of 0.25% beginning in the thirteenth month after purchase.

 

(3) 

The Distributor will pay a commission to dealers that sell amounts of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of each of these Funds except for the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds (for which no payments are made), in each case according to the following tiered schedule: 0.75% of the first $2,000,000.99 and 0.50% of amounts over $2,000,001. These payments are not made in connection with sales to employer-sponsored plans. The Distributor will then also pay to such dealers a Rule 12b-1 trail fee of 0.25% beginning in the thirteenth month after purchase.

 

(4) 

(A) The Distributor will pay a commission to dealers that sell $250,000 or more of Class A shares of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds at the annual rate of 0.15% (0.35% in the case of the PIMCO Low Duration Fund) of the net asset value of such Class A shares as in effect from time to time; such commission shall be paid in installments covering the 18 month period commencing with the date of sale. Such installments shall be paid after the end of calendar quarters in accordance with the Distributor’s practice, which may change from time to time. Investors purchasing Class A shares of such Funds through such dealers will not be subject to the Class A CDSC on such shares. (B) Alternatively, dealers may elect (through an agreement with the Distributor) to receive a commission at the time of sale on purchases of $250,000 or more of these Funds of 0.25% of the public offering price (for purchases of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) or 0.50% of the public offering price (for purchases of the PIMCO Low Duration Fund). Investors who purchase through dealers that elect the commission schedule described in this clause (B) will be subject to the Class A CDSC. (C) In addition to the commissions described in (A) and (B) above, dealers may be entitled to receive an annual servicing fee of 0.25% of the net asset value of such shares for so long as such shares are outstanding, as described below under “Participating Brokers.” These payments are not made in connection with sales to employer-sponsored plans.


(*) 

From time to time, these discounts and commissions may be increased pursuant to special arrangements between the Distributor and certain participating brokers.

 

(**) 

The initial sales charge shown is a percentage of the fund’s public offering price (“POP”), or the price you pay for each share you buy. This price is rounded to the nearest penny. The actual sales charge rate will be shown on your trade confirmation or statement, which – because of rounding – could be more or less than what is shown in the table. Rounding differences could be greater for small purchases or when a fund’s NAV is higher.

Each Fund receives the entire net asset value of its Class A shares purchased by investors (i.e., the gross purchase price minus the applicable sales charge). The Distributor receives the sales charge shown above less any applicable discount or commission “reallowed” to participating brokers in the amounts indicated in the tables above. The Distributor may, however, elect to reallow the entire sales charge to participating brokers for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with the Distributor for any particular Fund during a particular period. During such periods as may from time to time be designated by the Distributor, the Distributor will pay an additional amount of up to 0.50% of the purchase price on sales of Class A shares of all or selected Funds purchased to each participating broker that obtains purchase orders in amounts exceeding thresholds established from time to time by the Distributor.

Shares issued pursuant to the automatic reinvestment of income dividends or capital gains distributions are issued at net asset value and are not subject to any sales charges.

Under the circumstances described below, investors may be entitled to pay reduced sales charges for Class A shares.

These discounts and commissions may be increased pursuant to special arrangements from time to time agreed upon between the Distributor and certain participating brokers.

The second paragraph of the “Distribution of Trust Shares – Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions –Right of Accumulation and Combined Purchase Privilege (Breakpoints)” section of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The term “Qualifying Investor” refers to:

 

  1.

an individual, such individual’s spouse or domestic partner, as recognized by applicable state law, such individual’s children under the age of 21 years, or such individual’s siblings (each a “family member”) (including family trust* accounts established by such a family member); or

  2.

a trustee or other fiduciary for a single trust (except family trusts* noted above), estate or fiduciary account although more than one beneficiary may be involved; or

  3.

an employee benefit plan of a single employer.

 

  *

For the purpose of determining whether a purchase would qualify for a reduced sales charge under the Combined Purchase Privilege or Right of Accumulation, a “family trust” is one in which a family member(s) described in section (1) above is/are a beneficiary/ies and such person(s) and/or another family member is the trustee.


The “Distribution of Trust Shares – Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions – Letter of Intent” section of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Letter of Intent. An investor may also obtain a reduced sales charge on purchases of Class A shares by means of a written Letter of Intent, which expresses an intention to invest not less than $50,000 within a period of 13 months in Class A shares of any Eligible Fund(s) (which does not include the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds). The maximum intended investment amount allowable in a Letter of Intent is $1,000,000 (except for Class A shares of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income Fund, PIMCO Floating Income Fund, PIMCO Low Duration Fund, PIMCO Short Term Fund, PIMCO Short Asset Investment Fund, and PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income Fund, for which the maximum intended investment amount is $100,000). Each purchase of Class A shares under a Letter of Intent will be made at the public offering price or prices applicable at the time of such purchase to a single purchase of the dollar amount indicated in the Letter. At the investor’s option, a Letter of Intent may include purchases of Class A shares of any Eligible Fund made not more than 90 days prior to the date the Letter of Intent is signed; however, the 13-month period during which the Letter of Intent is in effect will begin on the date of the earliest purchase to be included and the sales charge on any purchases prior to the Letter of Intent will not be adjusted. In making computations concerning the amount purchased for purpose of a Letter of Intent, any redemptions during the operative period are deducted from the amount invested and market appreciation in the value of the shareholder’s Fund shares is not included in the Letter of Intent.

Qualifying investors may purchase shares of the Eligible Funds (which does not include the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds) under a single Letter of Intent. A Letter of Intent is not a binding obligation to purchase the full amount indicated. The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of such amount. Shares purchased with the first 5% of the amount indicated in the Letter of Intent will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in your name) to secure payment of the higher sales charge applicable to the shares actually purchased in the event the full intended amount is not purchased. If the full amount indicated is not purchased, a sufficient amount of such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales charge applicable to the amount actually purchased, if necessary. Dividends on escrowed shares, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional Eligible Fund shares, are not subject to escrow. When the full amount indicated has been purchased, the escrow will be released.

If an investor wishes to enter into a Letter of Intent in conjunction with an initial investment in Class A shares of a Fund, the investor should complete the appropriate portion of the account application. A current Class A shareholder desiring to do so may obtain a form to initiate a Letter of Intent by contacting PIMCO Funds at 888.87.PIMCO or any broker participating in this program.

Class A shares purchased or held through a Plan Investor or any other employer-sponsored benefit program as well as Class A shares purchased at NAV through “wrap accounts” do not count for purposes of determining whether an investor has qualified for a reduced sales charge through the use of a Letter of Intent.


The “Distribution of Trust Shares – Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions – Class A Deferred Sales Charge” section of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Class A Deferred Sales Charge. For purchases of Class A shares of all Funds (except the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Money Market, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Short-Term and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds), investors who purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares (and, thus, purchase such shares without any initial sales charge) may be subject to a 1% CDSC if such shares are redeemed within 18 months of their purchase. Certain purchases of Class A shares of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds described above under “Initial Sales Charge – Class A Shares” will be subject to a CDSC of 0.75% (for the PIMCO Low Duration Fund) or 0.50% (for the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds) if such shares are redeemed within 18 months after their purchase. The CDSCs described in this paragraph are sometimes referred to as the “Class A CDSC.”

The Class A CDSC does not apply to Class A shares of the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds. However, if Class A shares of these Funds are purchased in a transaction that, for any other Fund, would be subject to the CDSC (i.e., a purchase of $1,000,000 or more ($249,999 or more in the case of the PIMCO California Short Duration Municipal Income, PIMCO Floating Income, PIMCO Low Duration, PIMCO Short Asset Investment, PIMCO Short Duration Municipal Income and PIMCO Short-Term Funds)) and are subsequently exchanged for Class A shares of any other Fund, a Class A CDSC will apply to the shares of the Fund(s) acquired by exchange for a period of 18 months from the date of the exchange.

For Class A shares outstanding for 18 months or more, the Distributor may also pay participating brokers annual servicing fees of 0.25% (0.10% for the PIMCO Government Money Market, PIMCO Money Market and PIMCO Treasury Money Market Funds) of the net asset value of such shares.
