Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Salomon 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. Government Agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. If there is a material difference between the quoted total return and the quoted current yield, the yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The total return performance of the Money Market Portfolio was 0.84% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, versus a return of 0.87% for the benchmark Salomon 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
 
 
Interest rates fell and most bonds gained as investors sought a safe haven amid turbulent financial markets.
 
 
The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained at about one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields.
 
 
The Fund maintained an Aaa rating by holding the highest quality short-term securities; holdings remained very liquid, which helped to protect principal.
 
 
U.S. issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure.
 
 
Seven-day and thirty-day SEC yields were 1.72% and 1.73%, respectively, at quarter-end. These yields are competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. When valuations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

(formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio Institutional Class strongly outperformed the benchmark Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, returning 5.45% versus 4.22% for the Index.
 
 
In anticipation of a reflationary interest rate environment, an above benchmark duration was shifted to below the Index and was overall neutral for returns.
 
 
An overweight to intermediate-term maturities relative to the Lehman Long-Term Treasury Index was significantly positive as rates rallied most along that portion of the yield curve.
 
 
A mortgage emphasis via agency pass-throughs and non-Agency CMO’s augmented the Portfolio’s returns, as mortgages were one of the best performing sectors of the year.
 
 
Exposure to asset-backed securities was positive as investors sought their strong collateral protection and premium yields.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

10


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

11


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
      
Institutional Class

    
Administrative Class

Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio
    
0.50%
    
0.65%
 
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedge), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Foreign Bond Portfolio Institutional Class returned 3.30% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, outperforming the 1.93% return of the benchmark J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged).
 
 
An overweight in core European bonds versus the benchmark detracted from returns as investors flocked to other government bond markets.
 
 
An overweight in the euro was strongly positive. The euro rose versus the dollar as investors anticipated a weaker U.S. economic environment.
 
 
Real return bonds added to returns due to favorable inflation accruals and falling real yields.
 
 
A focus on global mortgages aided returns as investors sought high quality yields during a tumultuous quarter.
 
 
An underweight to Japan was negative. Japanese bonds returned more than other developed markets represented in the benchmark.
 
 
Emerging market bonds detracted from returns as Brazil’s problems adversely affected the asset class as a whole.
 
 
Corporate holdings, especially telecom and energy/pipeline issues, were strongly negative for returns.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

13


Table of Contents
 
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

14


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 3/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 2/16/1999, compared to the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
Ÿ
 
The Low Duration Portfolio Administrative Class returned 3.34% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to a 2.38% return for the benchmark Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index.
 
Ÿ
 
An above-benchmark duration aided performance as short term rates fell.
 
Ÿ
 
Mortgage holdings enhanced returns, as prepayments were lower than anticipated.
 
Ÿ
 
An investment-grade corporate emphasis modestly detracted from performance in response to corporate governance and transparency worries.
 
Ÿ
 
Limited holdings in non-investment-grade securities were negative due to cash outflows from the sector amid concerns about credit quality.
 
Ÿ
 
An increased allocation to non-U.S. bonds hurt performance as the flight to safety in the second quarter caused U.S. rates to fall most.
 
Ÿ
 
Euro exposure helped returns; the euro gained vs. the dollar amid a decline in demand for U.S. assets, mainly stocks.
 
Ÿ
 
Emerging market bonds detracted from returns as Brazil’s problems adversely affected the entire asset class.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002
 
1.    Organization
 
The Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

10


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
      
Institutional Class

      
Administrative Class

 
Low Duration Portfolio
    
0.50
%
    
0.65
%
 
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 6/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 5/28/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
Ÿ
 
The Total Return Portfolio II Administrative Class returned 2.46% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. It’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 3.79% over the same period.
 
Ÿ
 
Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had no effect on relative performance.
 
Ÿ
 
An emphasis on shorter maturity securities was positive for returns as market expectation of near-term Federal Reserve tightening declined, which caused short-term interest rates to fall.
 
Ÿ
 
The Portfolio benefited from an overweight in mortgages, which provided a high quality source of additional yield.
 
Ÿ
 
The allocation to corporates hurt returns as accounting concerns caused investors to sell corporate bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on May 28, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

10


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/28/2000, compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The S&P 500 Index posted a negative total return of 13.16% in the first half of 2002 amid concerns about widespread accounting irregularities and weak profits.
 
·
 
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio Institutional Class outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 0.78%, returning a negative 12.38% for the first half of 2002.
 
·
 
A longer duration relative to the effective benchmark was modestly positive for performance as short-term interest rates fell.
 
·
 
High relative yields provided by mortgage-and asset-backed securities enhanced performance.
 
·
 
Corporate fixed income holdings provided attractive yields but detracted from returns overall due to adverse price performance, particularly in the telecom sector.
 
·
 
Modest holdings of emerging market bonds detracted from returns as political concerns in Brazil affected the entire sector.
 
·
 
Real return bonds helped returns as inflation accruals were strong and falling real yields generated additional gains.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

11


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.40%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.10%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five-year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The Total Return Portfolio Institutional Class returned 3.40% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. It’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 3.79% for the period.
 
·
 
Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had no effect on relative performance. An emphasis on shorter maturity securities was positive for returns as market expectation of near-term Federal Reserve tightening declined, which caused short-term interest rates to fall.
 
·
 
The Portfolio benefited from an overweight in mortgages, which provided a high quality source of additional yield.
 
·
 
The allocation to corporates hurt returns as accounting concerns caused investors to sell corporate bonds.
 
·
 
Euro-zone holdings were a negative for performance; however a modest euro position rallied strongly and benefited performance.
 
·
 
A small, high-quality emerging markets exposure was a negative for performance as political uncertainty in Latin America and investor flight from risk hurt performance.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

12


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

13


Table of Contents
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
      
Institutional Class

    
Administrative Class

Total Return Portfolio
    
0.50%
    
0.65%
 
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Low Duration Portfolio Institutional Class returned 3.42% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to a 2.38% return for the benchmark Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index.
 
 
An above-benchmark duration aided performance as short term rates fell.
 
 
Mortgage holdings enhanced returns, as prepayments were lower than anticipated.
 
 
An investment-grade corporate emphasis modestly detracted from performance in response to corporate governance and transparency worries.
 
 
Limited holdings in non-investment-grade securities were negative due to cash outflows from the sector amid concerns about credit quality.
 
 
An increased allocation to non-U.S. bonds hurt performance as the flight to safety in the second quarter caused U.S. rates to fall most.
 
 
Euro exposure helped returns; the euro gained vs. the dollar amid a decline in demand for U.S. assets, mainly stocks.
 
 
Emerging market bonds detracted from returns as Brazil’s problems adversely affected the entire asset class.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002
 
1.    Organization
 
The Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

10


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
    
Institutional Class

    
Administrative Class

Low Duration Portfolio
  
0.50%
    
0.65%
 
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s inception on 4/28/2000, compared to the Salomon 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. Whereas money market funds attempt to maintain a stable share price, the Short-Term Portfolio’s share price will fluctuate in response to market conditions. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The total return performance of the Short-Term Portfolio was 1.25% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, versus a return of 0.87% for the benchmark Salomon 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
 
·
 
A longer than effective benchmark portfolio duration was positive for returns as short-term rates fell.
 
·
 
High relative yields provided by mortgages enhanced performance.
 
·
 
Corporate holdings provided attractive yields but detracted from returns overall due to adverse price performance, particularly in the telecom sector.
 
·
 
Modest high yield holdings were negative amid anxiety about weak profits, excess capacity and corporate scandals.
 
·
 
Asset-backed securities helped returns as investors sought their strong collateral protection and premium yields.
 
·
 
Modest emerging market holdings detracted from returns as political concerns in Brazil adversely affected the entire sector.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

10


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

%
    
0.60

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Total Return Portfolio II Institutional Class returned 2.54% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. It’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 3.79% over the same period.
 
 
Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had no effect on relative performance.
 
 
An emphasis on shorter maturity securities was positive for returns as market expectation of near-term Federal Reserve tightening declined, which caused short-term interest rates to fall.
 
 
The Portfolio benefited from an overweight in mortgages, which provided a high quality source of additional yield.
 
 
The allocation to corporates hurt returns as accounting concerns caused investors to sell corporate bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on May 28, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

10


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

*Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Real U.S. TIPS Index, an unmanaged market index, formerly the Lehman Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Real Return Portfolio Institutional Class returned 7.51% for the first six months of 2002, which was 0.10% greater than its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index.
 
 
Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) outperformed conventional Treasuries during the first half of the year, as real yields fell more than nominal yields.
 
 
Managing the Portfolio duration to be above benchmark was positive for performance.
 
 
Cash-backing strategies, using TIPS, increased the Portfolio’s return.
 
 
During the first six months, the breakeven rate of inflation, which measures the difference between TIPS real yields and nominal Treasury yields, increased to 1.77% on 10-year maturities.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.     The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.     The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.     The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.     The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.     The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.     Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.     The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

10


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.     The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
      
Institutional Class

    
Administrative Class

Real Return Portfolio
    
0.50%
    
0.65%

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 4/30/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
Ÿ
 
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio Administrative Class strongly outperformed the benchmark Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, returning 5.37% versus 4.22% for the Index.
 
Ÿ
 
In anticipation of a reflationary interest rate environment, an above benchmark duration was shifted to below the Index and was overall neutral for returns.
 
Ÿ
 
An overweight to intermediate-term maturities relative to the Lehman Long-Term Treasury Index was significantly positive as rates rallied most along that portion of the yield curve.
 
Ÿ
 
A mortgage emphasis via agency pass-throughs and non-Agency CMO’s augmented the Portfolio’s returns, as mortgages were one of the best performing sectors of the year.
 
Ÿ
 
Exposure to asset-backed securities was positive as investors sought their strong collateral protection and premium yields.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

10


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

11


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 2/01/02, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 1/10/02, compared to the J.P. Morgan Global Index (Unhedged), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Global Bond Portfolio Administrative Class returned 10.49% for the period since inception through June 30, 2002.
 
 
Reducing U.S. duration versus the benchmark detracted from returns as U.S. interest rates declined strongly.
 
 
An overweight in core Europe versus the U.S. detracted from returns as investors flocked to the relative safety of U.S. Treasuries.
 
 
An overweight in the euro was strongly positive. The euro rose versus the U.S. dollar as investors anticipated a weaker U.S. economic environment.
 
 
Real return bonds added to returns due to favorable inflation accruals and falling real yields.
 
 
A focus on global mortgages aided returns as investors sought high quality yields during a tumultuous quarter.
 
 
An underweight to Japan was positive as ratings downgrades and unexpectedly strong economic data kept Japanese yields from falling as much as in other markets.
 
 
Corporate holdings, especially telecom issues, were negative for returns.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Global Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on January 10, 2002.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.

Table of Contents
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.

10


Table of Contents
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five-year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 1/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 12/31/1997, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The Total Return Portfolio Administrative Class returned 3.32% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. It’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 3.79% for the period.
 
 
Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had no effect on relative performance. An emphasis on shorter maturity securities was positive for returns as market expectation of near-term Federal Reserve tightening declined, which caused short-term interest rates to fall.
 
 
The Portfolio benefited from an overweight in mortgages, which provided a high quality source of additional yield.
 
 
The allocation to corporates hurt returns as accounting concerns caused investors to sell corporate bonds.
 
 
Euro-zone holdings were a negative for performance; however a modest euro position rallied strongly and benefited performance.
 
 
A small, high-quality emerging markets exposure was a negative for performance as political uncertainty in Latin America and investor flight from risk hurt performance.

Table of Contents
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

12


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index, an unmanaged market index, formerly the Lehman Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The Real Return Portfolio Administrative Class returned 7.44% for the first six months of 2002, which was 0.03% greater than its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index.
 
·
 
Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) outperformed conventional Treasuries during the first half of the year, as real yields fell more than nominal yields.
 
·
 
Managing the Portfolio duration to be above benchmark was positive for performance.
 
·
 
Cash-backing strategies, using TIPS, increased the Portfolio’s return.
 
·
 
During the first six months, the breakeven rate of inflation, which measures the difference between TIPS real yields and nominal Treasury yields, increased to 1.77% on 10-year maturities.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

10


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

Administrative Class

 
Real Return Portfolio 0.50 %
    
0.50
%
    
0.65

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Salomon 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. Whereas money market funds attempt to maintain a stable share price, the Short-Term Bond Portfolio’s share price will fluctuate in response to market conditions. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The total return performance of the Short-Term Portfolio was 1.17% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, versus a return of 0.87% for the benchmark Salomon 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
 
·
 
A longer than effective benchmark portfolio duration was positive for returns as short-term rates fell.
 
·
 
High relative yields provided by mortgages enhanced performance.
 
·
 
Corporate holdings provided attractive yields but detracted from returns overall due to adverse price performance, particularly in the telecom sector.
 
·
 
Modest high yield holdings were negative amid anxiety about weak profits, excess capacity and corporate scandals.
 
·
 
Asset-backed securities helped returns as investors sought their strong collateral protection and premium yields.
 
·
 
Modest emerging market holdings detracted from returns as political concerns in Brazil adversely affected the entire sector.
 
·
 
The 30-day yield at June 30, 2002 was 2.93%.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

9


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.
 

10


Table of Contents
 
When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

Administrative Class

 
Short-Term Portfolio
    
0.45
%
    
0.60

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,
LOGO
Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 4/30/1998, compared to the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index and the Lehman Brothers BB U.S. High Yield Index, each an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio changed its benchmark index because the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index more closely reflects the universe of securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. The investments made by the High Yield Bond Portfolio may involve high risk and may have speculative characteristics.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The high yield market finished the first half of 2002 with the worst one-month performance on record, erasing modest gains generated during the first five months of the year.
 
 
The High Yield Portfolio Administrative Class outperformed the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, posting a return of –4.28% versus –4.62% for the Index.
 
 
Exposure to BBB-rated issues helped relative returns as higher quality issues performed best; BBBs outperformed BBs by 4.98% year-to-date.
 
 
An underweight to B-rated credits contributed to returns as Bs underperformed BBs by 0.81%.
 
 
An underweight to the telecom sector was positive for performance, as this was the market’s worst performing sector, losing over 30% year to date.
 
 
An overweight to the energy sector, focusing on investment grade issuers with real assets and strong asset coverage, was positive for performance.
 
 
Underweighting consumer cyclicals, specifically retailers, was negative for performance as consumer spending remained strong.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1998.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and

12


Table of Contents
 
losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery

13


Table of Contents
basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Salomon 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. Government Agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. If there is a material difference between the quoted total return and the quoted current yield, the yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The total return performance of the Money Market Portfolio was 0.76% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, versus a return of 0.87% for the benchmark Salomon 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
 
 
Interest rates fell and most bonds gained as investors sought a safe haven amid turbulent financial markets.
 
 
The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained at about one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields.
 
 
The Fund maintained an Aaa rating by holding the highest quality short-term securities; holdings remained very liquid, which helped to protect principal.
 
 
U.S. issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure.
 
 
Seven-day and thirty-day SEC yields were 1.57% and 1.57%, respectively, at quarter-end. These yields are competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.     Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. When valuations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U.S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five-year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 3/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 2/16/1999, compared to the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
·
 
The Foreign Bond Portfolio Administrative Class returned 3.21% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, outperforming the 1.93% return of the benchmark J.P. Morgan non-U.S. Index (Hedged).
 
·
 
An overweight in core European bonds versus the benchmark detracted from returns as investors flocked to other government bond markets.
 
·
 
An overweight in the euro was strongly positive. The euro rose versus the dollar as investors anticipated a weaker U.S. economic environment.
 
·
 
Real return bonds added to returns due to favorable inflation accruals and falling real yields.
 
·
 
A focus on global mortgages aided returns as investors sought high quality yields during a tumultuous quarter.
 
·
 
An underweight to Japan was negative. Japanese bonds returned more than other developed markets represented in the benchmark.
 
·
 
Emerging market bonds detracted from returns as Brazil’s problems adversely affected the asset class as a whole.
 
·
 
Corporate holdings, especially telecom and energy/pipeline issues, were strongly negative for returns.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

Table of Contents
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after

14


Table of Contents
it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
 
    
Institutional Class

    
Administrative Class

Foreign Bond Portfolio
  
0.75%
    
0.90%
 
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
 
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
 
Signs of a rebound in the U. S. economy and expectations of Federal Reserve tightening drove interest rates higher in the first quarter, depressing bond market returns. U.S. Treasury yields rose across all maturities, led by the two- and the five- year, which climbed 0.70% and 0.54%, respectively. Yields fell earlier in the quarter but reversed course sharply in late February and March after positive economic reports suggested that a cyclical turning point was at hand.
 
Most bond markets gained during the second quarter as investors sought safe haven amid turbulence in other financial markets. Interest rates fell worldwide with yields on U.S. Treasuries declining as much as 0.91% in the short/intermediate portion of the yield curve. The broad U.S. bond market performed well during the quarter even as global stock markets declined and the U.S. dollar fell sharply against the euro and the yen.
 
Financial markets were unsettled despite positive indicators about the health of the U.S. economy, the engine of global growth over the past several years. The U.S. continued to grow faster than Europe or Japan after emerging from a mild recession last year. Nevertheless, business investment remained weak, raising doubts about the staying power of the recovery. Still, rebounds in manufacturing, subdued inflation, continued productivity gains, an accommodative Federal Reserve and stimulative fiscal policy have provided grounds for optimism.
 
Any optimism about the direction of the real economy was thoroughly undermined, however, by the growing loss of confidence in financial markets and in the economic model that produced the New Age Economy. Outrage about the expanding list of companies caught up in accounting scandals and corporate governance abuses cast a pall over the stock market and hurt performance of corporate bonds, especially in the telecom and energy/utility sectors. Demand for U.S. assets declined among investors already nervous about lofty equity valuations, a potential slowing of the recovery later this year and a swelling U.S. current account deficit. This dramatic shift in investor sentiment helped drive the dollar down 12% against the euro and pushed it 10% lower versus the yen.
 
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance.
 
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
 
Sincerely,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.    Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 1/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 12/31/1997, compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.
 
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
 
 
The S&P 500 Index posted a negative total return of 13.16% in the first half of 2002 amid concerns about widespread accounting irregularities and weak profits.
 
 
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio Administrative Class outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 0.75%, returning a negative 12.41% for the first half of 2002.
 
 
A longer duration relative to the effective benchmark was modestly positive for performance as short-term interest rates fell.
 
 
High relative yields provided by mortgage- and asset-backed securities enhanced performance.
 
 
Corporate fixed income holdings provided attractive yields but detracted from returns overall due to adverse price performance, particularly in the telecom sector.
 
 
Modest holdings of emerging market bonds detracted from returns as political concerns in Brazil affected the entire sector.
 
 
Real return bonds helped returns as inflation accruals were strong and falling real yields generated additional gains.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
 
1.    Organization
 
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation.    Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income.    Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
Foreign Currency.    Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.    Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed at least once each year.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
 
Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
 
Multiclass Operations.    Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific

10


Table of Contents
expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
 
Federal Income Taxes.    The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
Financing Transactions.    The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs.
 
Futures and Options.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts and options. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based on the option’s quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized.
 
Forward Currency Transactions.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Portfolio’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Portfolio also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Swaps.    The Portfolio is authorized to enter into interest rate, total return, currency exchange, and credit default swap agreements in order to obtain a desired return at a lower cost than if the Portfolio had invested directly in the asset that yielded the desired return. Swaps involve commitments to exchange components of income (generally interest or returns) pegged to the underlying assets based on a notional principal amount. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. The Portfolios exposures to market risk in swap transaction (or credit risk in the case of credit default swaps) may exceed the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the transaction which is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such exposure is a function of the underlying notional value of the swap transaction.
 
Inflation-Indexed Bonds.    Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions.    The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the Portfolio in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.
 
Repurchase Agreements.    The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
 
3.    Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
 
Investment Advisory Fee.    Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.), and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract, for which it receives a monthly advisory fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.40%.
 
Administration Fee.    PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”), and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.10%.
 
Servicing Fee.    PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC, (“PFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in an amount up to 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFD was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
 
Expenses.    The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses; and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
 
PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rate disclosed in the prospectus (as set forth below) plus 0.49 basis points (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
 
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
 
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, an unaffiliated Trustee who serves as a committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated to the Portfolios of the Trust according to their respective net assets.
