A Word About Risk: A fund may be subject to various risks as described in its prospectus. Some of those risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: derivatives risk, small company risk, foreign investment risk and specific sector investment risks. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund is unable to close out a position when it is most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and additional volatility compared to a diversified equity portfolio. Allianz Global Investors Solutions target-date funds seek to manage risk and return by blending two separately-managed portfolios: a return-generating portfolio for growth potential, and a defensive portfolio for principal protection. The balance grows increasingly defensive over time until the target date is reached, after which the Fund’s assets roll into a retirement income strategy. The principal value of the Funds is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Please refer to the Fund’s applicable current prospectus for complete details.

Dear Shareholders:

 

The beginning of a new year is always a special time. It is a time of hope and optimism. A time to set goals and look to the future. And although it may be hard to tell, the days are getting longer. Each morning, the sun rises about a minute earlier. Each evening it lingers for an extra minute, before disappearing over the horizon. A minute here or there — we barely notice. But over a longer period of time, it becomes evident that things are getting brighter.

As we begin 2011, the same may be said of the U.S. economy. It may be hard to tell on a daily basis, but over a longer period of time, there is no question that things are improving. The recession officially came to an end, driven by what has now been five consecutive quarters of growth. Manufacturing has staged an impressive rebound. Exports are growing. Consumers, albeit still cautious, are beginning to spend more. Our politicians in Washington appear to be more focused on bringing clarity to certain outstanding issues, such as taxes and unemployment insurance, which should help build confidence for employers and consumers.

 

In short, things are indeed getting brighter. It is not unreasonable to hope that 2011 should build on the progress witnessed in 2010.

Twelve Months in Review

The U.S. and global economies advanced throughout 2010. In the U.S., gross domestic product (“GDP”) expanded at 3.7% and 1.7%, in the first and second quarters of 2010, respectively. GDP rose 2.5% during the third quarter. As the fiscal period drew to a close, many economists agreed that growth should continue into 2011 at a similar or slightly faster pace.

 

However, this growth was not enough to lower the unemployment rate, which remained just under double-digits throughout the year. In turn, this weakness kept interest rates low. The Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) maintained its closely-watched Federal Funds Rate — the interest rate banks charge to lend federal funds to other banks, usually on an overnight basis — in the 0.0% to 0.25% range, and stated that it will continue to do so for an “extended period of time.” The Fed did slightly raise the discount rate, the interest rate it charges to banks for direct loans from 0.50% to 0.75%. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke stated that economic conditions remain “unusually uncertain.”

 

Last May, two events served to remind investors that the road to economic recovery is never a straight line. A sudden stock market plunge, a “flash crash,” resulted in enormous but short-lived losses; in Europe, the possibility that several governments might default on their sovereign debt sent many investors scurrying back into Treasuries. This pattern of an appetite for risk and the sudden scorning of it would be repeated, but the overall narrative during the fiscal year was one of advancing stock markets, solid corporate bond performance and a low-yielding Treasury market.

 

All in all, the fiscal reporting period was positive for both stocks and bonds. In the U.S., the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned 9.94%. Two measures of stock performance in developed international and global markets, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia and Far East) Index and the MSCI World Index, returned 1.11% and 5.98%, respectively, in dollar-denominated terms. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index registered a 4.11% return.

As for bonds, for the fiscal period, the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index returned 8.48%, and the Barclays Capital U.S. High Yield Index generated a return of 16.78%. In contrast, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index returned 4.83%. The broader bond market index, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 6.02%.

 

Allianz Global Investors — Positioned to Face Today’s Challenges

When we reported to you six months ago, the possibility of a second recession — the so-called “double-dip” scenario — seemed possible, though not probable. Steady, albeit unspectacular, growth has made that possibility even more remote now. As 2011 unfolds, we anticipate the U.S. economic expansion to continue, and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts will most likely add steam to this growth. Hiring should pick up, and we expect that at some point the unemployment rate will begin edging down slowly.

But these gains may be offset to some degree by headwinds. The housing market remains troubled. Consumers, as mentioned, are beginning to spend more, but the spendthrift days of just a few years ago now seem like ancient history. People are saving more and paying down debt, which is good for them, but a drag on an economy that is based so heavily on consumption. Another impediment may come from interest rates, which would rise as the economy improves. In addition, fiscal worries at all levels of

government — from federal on down — are not to be underestimated. Overseas, the specter of debt defaults by certain European governments, efforts by China to cool its rapidly expanding economy and the uncertainty of geopolitical hotspots such as Iran and North Korea present different and complex challenges.

 

On behalf of Allianz Global Investors Fund Management and our Sub-Advisers, thank you for investing with us. We appreciate your business and trust. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor and to visit our website, www.allianzinvestors.com, for additional information. We wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Allianz Global Investors Solutions 2015 Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz Global Investors Solutions 2015 Fund returned 9.67%, at Net Asset Value (“NAV”), outperforming the Dow Jones Real Return 2015 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.45% during the reporting period.

 

Initiatives such as the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) purchase of mortgage and Treasury securities, the Fed’s commitment to hold short-term rates near zero and government support for consumer finance markets were major factors behind enhanced stability through the first half of the review period. Beginning in early 2010, investor confidence was shaken by a range of macroeconomic events, including signs that the U.S. and global economies might be slowing and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Concerns in the U.S. centered on the waning effects of policy stimulus as unemployment remained stubbornly high and consumer confidence weakened. The uncertain impact of new regulations for the health care and financial services industries also added to the anxiety.

 

Global equity markets were volatile over the 12-month period, as investors alternated between confidence in the sustainability of growth (particularly in emerging markets) and concerns over fiscal and employment issues. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

  

U.S. interest rates, both real and nominal, continued to fall during the fiscal year as the tepid economic recovery showed few signs of gathering steam and inflation remained low. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) gained 5.61% during the fiscal year as represented by the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index, supported by declining real yields across the maturity spectrum. These declines were largely the result of slower growth and the widely expected announcement by the Fed late in the period of a second round of quantitative easing. The changes in breakeven inflation levels (i.e., the difference between nominal and real yields) for various segments of the market were mixed during the fiscal year, with 10-year breakevens widening to 2.15% from 2.01% while 5-year breakevens narrowed marginally, down 7 basis points to 1.49%.

 

The mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector produced positive returns for the 12-month period as a whole, though option-adjusted spreads for the sector widened slightly as investors remained focused on higher-yielding assets. Against this backdrop, corporate bond performance was generally muted for the first two-thirds of the review period as economic concerns were balanced against reassurances by the Fed of ongoing support for credit markets and the economy. The creation of the Greek bailout package late in the second quarter served to reassure markets, as did the growing expectation for further quantitative easing by the Fed, leading to a sharp and sustained rally for risk assets from July through the end of the period. Investors’ renewed risk appetite resulted in particularly strong performance by high yield and emerging markets debt, which returned 16.78% and 12.77%, respectively (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. High Yield and J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Indices).

 

  

Defensive Holdings Drive Returns

 

The Fund’s investments in underlying Funds are grouped into two portfolios: (1) return-generating, including U.S. and global equities, commodities, real estate, and high-yield and emerging markets bonds, and (2) defensive, including TIPS, short-term bonds, and core U.S. and global bonds. The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark over the 12-month period was largely due to outperformance in the defensive portfolio, which gained from both positive selection effects within fixed income and TIPS as well as positive allocation within defensive sectors due to an underweight in TIPS. Selection was also positive in the return-generating portion of the portfolio. That said, the Fund’s underweight exposure to real estate detracted from relative returns.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund held overweight positions in domestic and non-U.S. fixed-income assets and underweight positions in equities, real return assets (real estate and commodities) and TIPS relative to its benchmark, the Dow Jones Real Return 2015 Index. At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 68% defensive and 32% return-generating holdings, close to the 69% defensive and 31% return-generating allocations of its 2015 portfolio glide path. The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the portfolio exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz Global Investors Solutions 2020 Fund returned 9.60% , at NAV, outperforming the Dow Jones Real Return 2020 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.84% during the reporting period.

This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

U.S. interest rates, both real and nominal, continued to fall during the fiscal year, supporting the positive returns of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”). These declines were largely the result of slower growth and the widely expected announcement by the Fed late in the period of a second round of quantitative easing. Against this backdrop, corporate bond performance was solid, particularly in the lower-quality, higher-yielding segment of the market, which benefited from investors’ appetite for yield. The mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector produced positive returns for the 12-month period as a whole, though option-adjusted spreads for the sector widened slightly as investors remained focused on higher-yielding assets.

Allianz Global Investors Solutions 2030 Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz Global Investors Solutions 2030 Fund returned 11.07%, at NAV, outperforming the Dow Jones Real Return 2030 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 10.08% during the reporting period.

 

Initiatives such as the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) purchase of mortgage and Treasury securities, the Fed’s commitment to hold short-term rates near zero and government support for consumer finance markets were major factors behind enhanced stability through the first half of the review period. Beginning in early 2010, investor confidence was shaken by a range of macroeconomic events, including signs that the U.S. and global economies might be slowing and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Concerns in the U.S. centered on the waning effects of policy stimulus as unemployment remained stubbornly high and consumer confidence weakened. The uncertain impact of new regulations for the health care and financial services industries also added to the anxiety.

 

Global equity markets were volatile over the 12-month period, as investors alternated between confidence in the sustainability of growth (particularly in emerging markets) and concerns over fiscal and employment issues. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging

  

market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

U.S. interest rates, both real and nominal, continued to fall during the fiscal year, supporting the positive returns of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”). These declines were largely the result of slower growth and the widely expected announcement by the Fed late in the period of a second round of quantitative easing. Against this backdrop, corporate bond performance was solid, particularly in the lower-quality, higher-yielding segment of the market, which benefited from investors’ appetite for yield. The mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector produced positive returns for the 12-month period as a whole, though option-adjusted spreads for the sector widened slightly as investors remained focused on higher-yielding assets.

 

Return-Generating holdings drive returns

 

The Fund’s investments in underlying Funds are grouped into two portfolios: (1) return-generating, including U.S. and global equities, commodities,

  

real estate, and high-yield and emerging markets bonds, and (2) defensive, including TIPS, short-term bonds, and core U.S. and global bonds. Over the 12- month period, the Fund’s allocation to the return-generating portfolio added value. The return-generating portfolio outperformed due to positive selection effects in equities as well as in return-generating fixed income and real return assets. These positive selection effects compensated for negative allocation effects driven largely by a relatively underweight exposure to real estate.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund was on average relatively overweight in return-generating assets (2%) and underweight in defensive assets (3%) versus its benchmark. At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 37% defensive and 63% return-generating holdings, close to the 38% defensive and 62% return-generating allocation of its 2030 glidepath. The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the portfolio exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

During the 12-month period, the Fund held overweight positions in equities, real return assets (real estate and commodities) and TIPS relative to its benchmark index. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 4% defensive and 96% return-generating holdings, as compared with the 100% return-generating allocation of its 2050 portfolio glidepath. The Allianz Global Investors Solutions glide path calls for 100% return-generating assets for the 2050 Fund, therefore the Fund was overweight in return-generating assets versus the benchmark (which had an average allocation of 90% return-generating assets over the period here), which enhanced relative performance. On average, the Fund was relatively overweight in return-generating assets (6%) versus its benchmark over the period.

 

The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the portfolio exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

Allianz Global Investors Solutions Core Allocation Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz Global Investors Solutions Core Allocation Fund returned 11.56%, at NAV, outperforming the blended 60% MSCI All Country World and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 7.20% during the reporting period.

 

Initiatives such as the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) purchase of mortgage and Treasury securities, the Fed’s commitment to hold short-term rates near zero and government support for consumer finance markets were major factors behind enhanced stability through the first half of the review period. Beginning in early 2010, investor confidence was shaken by a range of macroeconomic events, including signs that the U.S. and global economies might be slowing and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Concerns in the U.S. centered on the waning effects of policy stimulus as unemployment remained stubbornly high and consumer confidence weakened. The uncertain impact of new regulations for the health care and financial services industries also added to the anxiety.

 

Global equity markets were volatile over the 12-month period, as investors alternated between confidence in the sustainability of growth (particularly in emerging markets) and concerns over fiscal and employment issues. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the

  

global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

U.S. interest rates, both real and nominal, continued to fall during the fiscal year, supporting the positive returns of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”). These declines were largely the result of slower growth and the widely expected announcement by the Fed late in the period of a second round of quantitative easing. Against this backdrop, corporate bond performance was solid, particularly in the lower-quality, higher-yielding segment of the market, which benefited from investors’ appetite for yield. The mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector produced positive returns for the 12-month period as a whole, though option-adjusted spreads for the sector widened slightly as investors remained focused on higher-yielding assets.

 

Selection and allocation drive returns

 

The Fund’s investments in underlying Funds are grouped into two portfolios: (1) return-generating, including U.S. and global equities, commodities,

  

real estate, and high-yield and emerging markets bonds, and (2) defensive, including TIPS, short-term bonds, and core U.S. and global bonds. Over the 12-month period, the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was due to both positive selection and allocation effects. The equity and U.S. fixed income portions of the portfolio outperformed the MSCI All Country World and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Indexes, respectively, while underweight allocations to both also enhanced returns. Off-benchmark positions in commodities, real estate, non-U.S. fixed income and TIPS further supported the Fund’s relative performance. Within equities, the Fund’s overweight exposure to the U.S., and small capitalization U.S. stocks in particular, counteracted negative selection within developed international equities.

 

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 28% defensive and 72% return-generating holdings, close to its model allocation of 30% defensive and 70% return-generating holdings. The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the portfolio exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

Over the 12-month period, the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was due to both positive selection and allocation effects. The equity portion of the portfolio outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index, while allocations to real assets and non-U.S. fixed income also added value. The Fund’s exposure to core U.S. fixed income assets detracted slightly from relative returns.

 

During the 12- month period, the Fund held overweight positions in domestic and non-U.S. fixed income assets, commodities and real estate, and underweight positions in equities, relative to its benchmark index. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 4% defensive and 96% return-generating holdings, as compared with the 100% return-generating allocation of its global equity benchmark of the MSCI All Country World Index. The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the Fund exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz Global Investors Solutions Retirement Income Fund returned 8.86%, at NAV, outperforming the Dow Jones Real Return Today Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.23% during the reporting period.

 

Initiatives such as the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) purchase of mortgage and Treasury securities, the Fed’s commitment to hold short-term rates near zero and government support for consumer finance markets were major factors behind enhanced stability through the first half of the review period. Beginning in early 2010, investor confidence was shaken by a range of macroeconomic events, including signs that the U.S. and global economies might be slowing and the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Concerns in the U.S. centered on the waning effects of policy stimulus as unemployment remained stubbornly high and consumer confidence weakened. The uncertain impact of new regulations for the health care and financial services industries also added to the anxiety.

 

Global equity markets were volatile over the 12-month period, as investors alternated between confidence in the sustainability of growth (particularly in emerging markets) and concerns over fiscal and employment issues. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally

  

slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

U.S. interest rates, both real and nominal, continued to fall during the fiscal year, supporting the positive returns of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”). These declines were largely the result of slower growth and the widely expected announcement by the Fed late in the period of a second round of quantitative easing. Against this backdrop, corporate bond performance was solid, particularly in the lower-quality, higher-yielding segment of the market, which benefited from investors’ appetite for yield. The mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector produced positive returns for the 12-month period as a whole, though option-adjusted spreads for the sector widened slightly as investors remained focused on higher-yielding assets.

  

Selection and allocation drive returns

 

The Fund’s investments in underlying Funds are grouped into two portfolios: (1) return-generating, including U.S. and global equities, commodities, real estate, and high-yield and emerging markets bonds, and (2) defensive, including TIPS, short-term bonds, and core U.S. and global bonds. During the 12-month period, the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was due to the outperformance of the defensive portfolio. The defensive portfolio outperformed due to both positive selection effects within fixed income and TIPS as well an underweight to TIPS. The Fund was overweight defensive assets in general, and underweight in equities and real return assets (real estate and commodities), during the period. This stance slightly detracted from relative performance.

 

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was positioned in approximately 76% defensive and 24% return-generating holdings, close to its model allocation of 75% defensive and 25% return-generating holdings. The Fund’s greatest active exposure relative to its benchmark was return-generating fixed-income, which we believe offered the portfolio exposure to wide risk spreads yet allowed downside protection during periods of significant market volatility. The Fund ended the period within the expected risk profile.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund returned 20.15%, at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 17.24% during the reporting period.

 

Although market sentiment varied throughout 2010, the net result for the convertible market was a solid year. The Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index returned 17.24% for the 12 months ending November 30, 2010. By way of comparison, the convertible market outperformed the S&P 500 and 10-year Treasury returns of 9.94% and 7.0%, respectively, for the year.

 

The factors driving the year’s performance did not change significantly over the course of the year. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic data releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of issuers were supplemented by the incredible new corporate issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and was used to refinance high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market, all of which added to the general appetite for convertible investing.

 

Convertibles moved up in line with their historical equity upside participation in the final months of the review period. Unlike the first half of the year where credit improvement was the bigger driver of convertible returns, equity responsiveness contributed more later in the period.

 

All industries posted positive returns for the year. Leading industries included energy, industrials, transportation and consumer discretionary. Industrial and consumer discretionary names performed well on better-than-expected earnings. Transportation companies moved higher as airlines cut capacity and

  

business travel improved, while energy issuers were positively impacted as the macro headlines helped sentiment on the group and oil prices moved higher throughout the year. Underperforming industries included healthcare, media and consumer staples.

 

Below investment grade issuers and smaller-capitalized companies outperformed over the time period. Total return convertibles outperformed the yield and busted categories.

 

New convertible issuance picked up as the year went on, and reached a total of $34.8 billion. In the first half of the period, many companies accessed the corporate debt markets instead of the convertible markets in order to avoid shareholder dilution at depressed stock prices. As the equity markets moved higher, convertible new issuance increased.

 

Portfolio Specifics

 

Positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials and energy industries helped performance in the quarter. Select automotive issues in the consumer discretionary industry were higher as automobile sales exceeded expectations and production schedules were increased for 2011. Industrial issuers performed well on improving operating statistics and solid end market demand. Energy companies moved higher on an improving global economic outlook and higher oil prices.

 

Other holdings were less beneficial. Issuers in the healthcare and consumer staples industries hurt relative performance. Generic drug manufacturing companies underperformed as international end markets deteriorated, possibly impacting unreleased fourth quarter earnings. Consumer staples issuers fell from favor as investors rotated into higher beta companies.

 

The portfolio’s aggregate conversion premium at the end of the period was approximately 20%, indicating a return to a more balanced, asymmetric risk return level. The portfolio is well positioned to participate on the upside and protect on the downside.

  

Outlook

 

The outlook for the convertible market is positive. The improvement in third quarter corporate earnings should continue in the fourth quarter. U.S. corporate cash levels are high, debt levels have been reduced and maturities have been extended. In addition, consumers are spending again and labor conditions are improving.

In 2011, companies are expected to use the high cash levels on their balance sheets and future free cash flow to boost shareholder value. Share buybacks, increased dividends and merger and acquisition activity are possible uses of excess cash. These factors should benefit equity and convertible investors.

 

While credit spread tightening should continue as high yield credit spreads remain above their historical average, positive convertible returns will be dependent on the equity markets going forward. Even though global and economic risk headlines persist, likely driving a continuation of choppy short-term performance, few companies have seen a change in demand or order patterns. Fundamentals thus remain intact and this should provide a positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets. Convertible bonds should benefit from any credit spread tightening and higher equity prices, an attractive option for total return investors.

 

Our disciplined approach of focusing on companies that are exceeding expectations and improving their credit statistics will be rewarded as those companies differentiate themselves from their peer group. In this environment, we believe companies that have reasonable earnings visibility should command premium valuations relative to other companies.

 

We continue to build the portfolio one company at a time, by identifying those that we believe are opportunistically capitalizing on change. In addition, we are maintaining our discipline of seeking to identify the best convertibles with the optimal risk/reward profile, 70-80% of the upside and 40-50% of the downside. At Allianz Global Investors Capital, a discriminating environment that rewards corporations for exceeding expectations bodes well for our convertible investment process.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Institutional Shares of the Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund returned 27.76%, at NAV, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 30.25% during the reporting period.

 

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period overall. Stocks were supported by the economy’s return to expansion (as measured by gross domestic product growth), although growth was slow and the employment and housing markets remained stubbornly weak. Concerns about default risks in heavily indebted European countries led to pullbacks in the U.S. market in February and May. With the effects of economic stimulus running their course and the pace of the recovery waning, market volatility persisted through the summer. Equities began a rally in September on expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) would initiate a second round of quantitative easing (which the FOMC did formally announce in November), reducing the risk of a double-dip recession. However, stocks’ advance slowed in November as investors resumed a more cautious stance.

  

Within the small-cap growth universe (as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index) cyclical sectors outperformed, led by energy, information technology and consumer discretionary. Conversely, utilities, health care and financials were the weakest performing sectors, although all had positive returns for the period.

 

Stock selection diminished gains

 

The Fund’s underperformance for the period was largely attributable to stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors. A position in semiconductor equipment and materials provider Brooks Automation was the most detrimental to relative performance within the sector, and was among the Fund’s weakest performing stocks on an absolute basis. The Fund also lacked exposure to the triple-digit return of communications equipment maker Acme Packet, which further diminished relative performance. Industrials stock Aegean Marine Petroleum Network was the Fund’s largest performance detractor from both a relative and absolute

  

standpoint. Shares of the marine fuel logistics company declined on disappointing second quarter earnings.

 

The Fund had better stock selection results in the consumer discretionary sector. Communications and media company Liberty Media and apparel maker Quiksilver were the Fund’s second and third largest positive contributors on a relative basis, respectively. The former is benefiting from its 40% stake in satellite radio operator Sirius XM, which is witnessing strong subscriber growth. The energy sector also added to relative performance, led by Mariner Energy, an oil and gas exploration company which rose in price after Apache Corp. announced their intent to acquire the company at a significant premium. The top contributor to absolute returns was a position in computer chipmaker Cirrus Logic. The stock was propelled by higher than expected revenues due to strong demand for Apple Inc. products, which run on Cirrus-supplied semiconductors.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund returned 15.56%, at NAV, underperforming its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 16.75% during the reporting period.

 

There were many investors who believed in the potential for high yield in 2010, but also many doubters. Those who didn’t believe the high yield bond rally of 2009 could be followed up by another year of double-digit returns certainly left some performance on the table. The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 16.75% for the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010. By way of comparison, the high yield market outperformed the 10-year Treasury return of 7.0% for the period.

 

The factors driving the year’s performance did not change significantly over the course of the year. Although several hiccups occurred throughout the period, including mixed economic data releases and European sovereign concerns, these risks abated quickly. Ultimately, stronger corporate profitability and an improving economy had the greatest influence on investor sentiment. Defaults remained low throughout the year. Improved balance sheets and operating performance of issuers were supplemented by the incredible new issuance volume that bolstered liquidity and was used to refinance high-cost debt. Political risk abated after the November elections, and more accommodative decisions were made in Washington regarding taxes and further monetary policy easing (QE2). These factors also led to a healthy year-end rally in the equity markets and a sell-off in the Treasury market, all of which added to the general appetite for credit investing.

 

A deeper look into the startling volume of new issuance during the period shows another beneficial impact on the market. The obvious product of a new offering for an issuer is the retirement of maturing or high- cost debt. As an investor in the market, there are other benefits. One is liquidity. Some, if not many, of the older issues in the market were tightly held coming out of the difficult period of 2008. The dealer desks have contracted, and those desks were less willing to get short (offer paper) in a period of tight liquidity. Therefore, investors were given a fresh look into existing issuers which previously were unavailable to buy. The second benefit is the offset to an increased average market price occurring over the majority of the last 18 months where convexity began to have an impact. In other words, high yield bonds generally do not trade significantly higher than their call prices, especially as that call date moves to within 12 months. By contrast, new near-par priced issues have the ability to move to a premium, offering more total return opportunities.

 

All industries contributed to the market’s return. Leading industries included broadcasting, insurance and airlines. While all industries were positive in the period, the laggards included utilities and food and drug retail.

 

The Treasury move downward late in the period had a negative impact on the BB / tighter spread issuers in the market. This was seen in the BB-rated sleeve’s return versus the CCC-rated sleeve, which produced the highest-performing rating subgroup for the year.

  

New issuance remained robust in the final months of the period, with 195 deals priced, raising $91 billion in proceeds for issuers. Through November 2010, issuers raised more than $275 billion. The new issuance dollar amount easily exceeded the next-largest year—2009—when $180 billion was raised. Looking at the 2010 use of proceeds, 66.5% was used for refinancing.

 

The ratio of upgrades to downgrades was approximately 3:2 for the period. The positive credit trend remains consistent. The trailing 12-month default rate ended the period at approximately 2.16% on an issuer-weighted basis. On a dollar-weighted basis, the LTM default rate was only 0.7%. Mutual fund flows brought in more than $10 billion for the year.

 

Portfolio Specifics

 

Multiple factors contributed to the Fund’s performance for the year. First, superior issuer selection was easy to identify, as several issuers were taken out via tenders due to merger, acquisition and refinancing activity. These issues came from a variety of industries, but notable movers came from the energy, metals and industrials industries. Next, and equally additive, was the lack of negative contributors. While the year ended positively, and the rising tide lifted most of boats, there was some choppiness for both the index and peer group, which we were largely able to avoid. Another challenge, and newer to the scheme of recent risks, was the rising 10-year Treasury yield. We have always avoided low-coupon, long-duration issues as they are more sensitive to interest rates and thus detract from one of the primary goals in high yield investing—diversification. Many of these unattractive issues are fallen angels; not only is the structure potentially negative but also most of these issues lack protective covenants. Throughout our history in managing in the asset class, the portfolio has proven to protect against rising Treasury rates.

 

Several industries in the portfolio generated positive performance. Among the recent best were energy, utilities and chemicals.

 

There were few negative performers, and no negative returns by any one industry. That said, not all positions were equally strong. Lagging industry allocations included broadcasting, telecommunications—wireline and homebuilders. The portfolio lacked exposure to broadcasting, which moved higher in the period. An overweight to telecom also hurt due to some of the lower quality or higher beta issuers outperforming in the period. The portfolio benefited from its exposure to rising homebuilders during the period, but its participation was limited due to an underweight relative to the benchmark.

 

New buys were again plentiful in the final quarter of the Fund’s fiscal year. Most buys were selected from the enormous new issuance calendar, where options were plentiful amid the expanding economic rebound. Because of that volume, it was again prudent to be selective. The issuers added were diversified among many

  

industries. One industry of note was energy. The majority of all new issuance market-wide fell into the category of refinancing activity. In energy, by contrast, several of the new issues were new names to the market. The issues not only exhibited solid current operations, with positive outlook for growth in 2011 and beyond, they also represented some of the best total return characteristics.

 

Many issues exited the portfolio due to corporate actions, such as calls or tenders, as mentioned previously. Sales continued to be concentrated among issuers that appreciated in price to levels no longer attractive on a relative value basis.

 

Market Outlook:

 

Looking ahead, the outlook for the high yield market is positive. While the market’s general trajectory was higher throughout last year, spreads did not contract materially until there was a rise in Treasury rates late in the fiscal year. Spreads ended the period at approximately 620 basis points over comparable Treasuries, above the historical average. More importantly, this stage of the market cycle is best compared to the mid 1990’s and mid 2000’s. When considering spreads in the context of those market environments, which exhibited economic recovery, low defaults and ample liquidity, spreads are currently as much as 150 to 200 basis points too wide. Spread contraction going forward will likely be generated by a combination of rising interest rates and price appreciation.

 

Treasury rates rose late in 2010, and should that trend continue, it is likely to constrain significant upward price movement in high yield bonds. That said, the spread advantage of high yield bonds should allow prices to remain stable, and possibly improve, resulting in a coupon or better total return for 2011. Generally, high yield bond prices are also constrained by their call prices as they rise above par. However, the considerable volume of new issuance, and the increasing amount of merger and acquisition activity, has lessened the impact of any price ceiling.

 

The only way spreads would widen from these levels would be an increase in the default rate. The probability of default rates rising significantly in the next 12 months is near zero. Most strategists have reduced their default expectations further for 2011.

 

If a rising rate forecast is included in an asset allocation strategy decision, an allocation to high yield is an obvious choice. Among fixed income alternatives high yield bonds can be a contributor from both a diversification and relative performance perspective.

 

We continue to build your portfolio one company at a time, by identifying companies which we believe are opportunistically capitalizing on change. At Allianz Global Investors Capital, we recognize that the long-term driver of total return in a high yield portfolio is company fundamentals. Because fundamentals can only be discovered and monitored through rigorous credit analysis, which is the cornerstone of our approach, we will continue to apply our philosophy and process to managing change and information.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz AGIC International Growth Fund returned 7.99%, at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.11% during the reporting period.

 

The diverging paths of the developed and emerging worlds kept international equity markets volatile during the reporting period. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

Within international developed markets, the strongest-performing markets were in Asia, excluding Japan (Hong Kong and Singapore), and the Nordic region

  

(Sweden and Denmark). The weakest performers were not surprisingly those facing sovereign debt crises: Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. On a sector basis, consumer discretionary and industrials led, while financials lagged the most.

 

Stock selection and country strategy drove outperformance

 

Stock selection was the strongest in the financials and information technology sectors. Within the financials sector, the fund was favorably positioned with exposure to strong-performing Asian banks such as BOC Hong Kong and CIMB Group, alongside selective investments in European financials, including zero weights to Banco Santander, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, AXA, and Societe Generale. BOC Hong Kong reported strong earnings and growth potential, boosted by its high exposure to developing opportunities in China. CIMB Group is a Malaysia-based lender whose share price benefited from the company’s bid to develop a regional banking franchise across Southeast Asia.

 

An information technology stock, ARM Holdings, was the Fund’s top contributor to performance on both a relative and absolute basis. The U.K. company designs microprocessors, including those

  

used in the Apple iPhone and iPad, and benefited from high demand for those end products.

 

Stock picks in the telecommunication services and utilities sectors, however, were sources of relative underperformance. Koninklijke KPN, a Netherlands telecom provider, and Tokyo Electric Power, an electricity generator and distributor in the Tokyo area, were two of the largest relative laggards. BNP Paribas, a France-based provider of retail banking, asset management, and corporate and investment banking services, was a detractor during the reporting period.

 

Our country allocation strategy further supported relative returns during the period. Exposure to South Korea and Malaysia, which are not represented in the benchmark index, proved advantageous, as these markets advanced strongly during the period. An underweight to Spain, among the largest decliners in the benchmark index during the period, reduced the Fund’s exposure to weakness there. However, this was somewhat offset by relative losses from an overweight to Brazil (also not in the benchmark index) and an underweight to Sweden, one of the top-performing markets during the review period.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund returned 17.70%, at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P Developed Ex-US Small Cap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 11.92% during the reporting period.

 

The diverging paths of the developed and emerging worlds kept international equity markets volatile during the reporting period. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

Against this backdrop, non-U.S. small-cap stocks (as represented by the S&P Developed Ex-US Small Cap Growth Index) rose during the period. The materials

  

and energy sectors experienced the largest increases. Utilities, which declined, and financials, which was essentially flat, were the bottom performing sectors. Canada and the United Kingdom were the top benchmark performers, while Greece’s market had the lowest return.

 

Successful stock picking led to outperformance

 

The Fund’s best contributor to absolute performance was ARM Holdings, a U.K. semiconductor company that designs chips for a range of digital electronics including the Apple iPhone and iPad. ARM benefited from high demand for electronic devices. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors supported performance as well. ASOS, a U.K. holding company whose primary business is online fashion and beauty products retailing, was the top relative contributor and second best absolute contributor. Notable performance also came from 7 Days Group, China’s third largest economy hotel chain. Both ASOS and 7 Days had triple-digit returns during the reporting period. In financials, Banco Estado, which provides financial products and services in branches across Brazil, was a standout.

  

From a country perspective, both stock selection and country allocation were beneficial to relative performance. Stock picks in the U.K., Spain, and Switzerland, contributed significantly, although gains were somewhat hampered by selection in Canada, Ireland, and Japan. Exposure to Brazil, which is not represented in the benchmark index, provided an additional boost to relative returns, as did underweights to lagging markets such as Japan and Spain.

 

However, stock selection in industrials fell short of expectations. A position in Italy’s Ansaldo STS was among the main detractors from both relative and absolute performance. Ansaldo is engaged in the business of railway and underground transportation systems and services. The holding contributing the least to performance, both from a relative and absolute standpoint, was Belgium-based EVS Broadcast Equipment, which provides live outside broadcast digital video production systems.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Institutional Class Shares of the Allianz AGIC Micro Cap Fund returned 32.18%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 26.94% during the reporting period.

 

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period overall. Stocks were supported by the economy’s return to expansion (as measured by gross domestic product growth), although growth was slow and the employment and housing markets remained stubbornly weak. Concerns about default risks in heavily indebted European countries led to pullbacks in the U.S. market in February and May. With the effects of economic stimulus running their course and the pace of the recovery waning, market volatility persisted through the summer. Equities began to rally in September on expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) would initiate a second round of quantitative easing (which the FOMC did formally announce in November), reducing the risk of a double-dip recession. However, stocks’ advance slowed in November as investors resumed a more cautious stance.

 

Sector performance in the micro-cap growth universe (as measured by the Russell Microcap Growth Index)

  

diverged widely. Consumer staples had a negative return for the period, while the top three sectors—energy, information technology and telecommunication services—were up more than 40%.

 

Good stock selection supported returns

 

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark index was driven by stock selection in the information technology sector, where holdings in MIPS Technologies, Cirrus Logic, and Keithley Instruments were among the standouts. MIPS Technologies licenses technologies used in consumer electronics and was also the Fund’s overall top contributing stock on an absolute basis for the period. The company posted earnings that outpaced expectations due to improving demand and restructuring efforts. Computer chipmaker Cirrus Logic was the top contributor to absolute returns. The stock was propelled by higher than expected revenues due to strong demand for

Apple Inc. products, which run on Cirrus-supplied semiconductors. Keithley Instruments is a leader in advanced electrical test instruments whose shares soared following an announcement in the third quarter that it would be acquired by Danaher.

  

These holdings more than offset weakness from Local.com, the Fund’s largest absolute detractor. Concerns about management changes and recent acquisition activity at the local search web site operator sent its share price tumbling.

 

The energy sector was another contributor, with oil and gas exploration and production company ClaytonWilliams Energy adding to relative gains. The company’s stock appreciated on debt reduction efforts, a ramp in oil production and set service costs. Relative performance was also supported by stock selection in the industrials sector with a holding in Acacia Research, which acquires and licenses patents.

 

However, stock selection in health care was less favorable. A position in BioScrip, a specialty pharmacy services company, suffered after the company withdrew its 2010 earnings outlook and reported third quarter earnings below expectations. Additionally, the Fund did not own Questor Pharmaceuticals, a stock in the benchmark index that generated a triple-digit return during the period.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Institutional Class Shares of the Allianz AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 22.31% underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 29.16% during the reporting period.

 

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period overall. Stocks were supported by the economy’s return to expansion (as measured by gross domestic product growth), although growth was slow and the employment and housing markets remained stubbornly weak. Concerns about default risks in heavily indebted European countries led to pullbacks in the U.S. market in February and May. With the effects of economic stimulus running their course and the pace of the recovery waning, market volatility persisted through the summer. Equities began a rally in September on expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) would initiate a second round of quantitative easing (which the FOMC did formally announce in November), reducing the risk of a double-dip recession. However, stocks’ advance slowed in November as investors resumed a more cautious stance.

  

Within the small- to mid-cap growth universe (as measured by the Russell 2500 Growth Index) all sectors advanced for the period under review. Cyclical sectors outperformed, led by information technology, consumer discretionary, and energy. Conversely, utilities, financials, and health care had the smallest gains.

 

Disappointing stock picks tempered returns

 

Relative underperformance was driven primarily by unfavorable stock selection in the information technology, financials and consumer discretionary sectors. Semiconductor manufacturer, Advanced Energy Industries, was lower on worries of overcapacity and subsequent pricing pressures, while shares of Dollar Financial, a diversified financial services provider serving unbanked and under-banked customers, came under pressure due to currency headwind concerns and higher finance costs associated with a recent financing. Apparel company, Collective Brands, fell on weak comparable same store sales and Chinese currency

  

appreciation risk. Rehabilitation services provider Rehabcare Group was a significant relative detractor as well as the most detrimental holding to absolute returns during the period. Industrials stock Aegean Marine Petroleum Network shares, a marine fuel logistics company, declined on disappointing second quarter earnings.

 

However, stock selection in the materials sector mitigated some of the relative losses. A position in Kraton Performance Polymers performed especially well. The niche chemical manufacturer reported higher profits due to broad-based product demand and pricing power. The Fund’s top contributor to both relative and absolute returns was communications and media company Liberty Media, which is benefiting from its stake in satellite radio operator Sirius XM.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Institutional Class Shares of the Allianz AGIC Ultra Micro Cap Fund returned 48.38% outperforming its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 26.94% during the reporting period.

 

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period overall. Stocks were supported by the economy’s return to expansion (as measured by gross domestic product growth), although growth was slow and the employment and housing markets remained stubbornly weak. Concerns about default risks in heavily indebted European countries led to pullbacks in the U.S. market in February and May. With the effects of economic stimulus running their course and the pace of the recovery waning, market volatility persisted through the summer. In September, equities rallied on expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) would initiate a second round of quantitative easing (which the FOMC did formally announce in November), reducing the risk of a double-dip recession. However, stocks’ advance slowed in November as investors resumed a more cautious stance.

 

Sector performance in the micro-cap growth universe (as measured by the Russell Microcap Growth Index)

  

diverged widely. Consumer staples had a negative return for the period, while the top three sectors—energy, information technology and telecommunication services—were up more than 40%.

 

Performance predominantly driven by stock selection

 

The Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark index during the period almost entirely due to favorable stock selection. On a relative basis, five of the portfolio’s top 10 positive contributors came from the information technology sector. Holdings in Keithley Instruments and MIPS Technologies were the best relative and absolute contributors to performance in the sector as well as the overall portfolio. Keithley Instruments is a leader in advanced electrical test instruments whose shares soared following an announcement that it would be acquired by Danaher. MIPS Technologies licenses technologies used in consumer electronics. The company posted revenue and earnings that outpaced expectations due to improving demand and restructuring efforts. The industrials sector was another major

  

contributor. Shares of CAI International, a shipping container leasing and management company, benefited from rising rental revenue and high utilization rates. Stock picks in the consumer discretionary sector rounded out the top three performing sectors, led by a position in Lifetime Brands, which designs and markets kitchenware and home décor products including the KitchenAid, Farberware, and Cuisinart brands. The stock price moved higher after the company reported strong fourth quarter 2009 earnings which were driven by cost cutting efforts and margin expansion.

 

However, stock selection in health care was less favorable. A position in Bioscrip, a specialty pharmacy services company, suffered after the company withdrew its 2010 earnings outlook and reported third quarter earnings below expectations. Additionally, the Fund did not own Questor Pharmaceuticals, a stock in the benchmark index that generated a triple-digit return for the period. Absolute returns were hurt most by a position in Verso Paper, a socially and environmentally responsible paper producer.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund returned 4.71%, at NAV, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 7.16% during the reporting period.

 

The diverging paths of the developed and emerging worlds kept international equity markets volatile during the 12-month period. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI EAFE Index, respectively).

 

Global equity returns (as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index) were supported by gains in the U.S. market, which had a relatively moderate return but is the largest country in the benchmark index. Stronger appreciation was found in smaller markets across the Asia Pacific-ex Japan and Latin America regions, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Chile, and Colombia. Greece declined the most with the other heavily indebted peripheral European countries (Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal) following suit. Global sector performance was driven by consumer discretionary and industrials, while the financials sector fell modestly.

  

Stock selection and sector exposures diminished relative performance

 

A combination of disappointing stock picks across a range of sectors and a tilt away from some of the market’s more economically sensitive sectors led the Fund to slightly underperform the benchmark index.

 

The Fund’s largest absolute and relative detractor was a position in Ageas (formerly Fortis). The Belgium-based insurance company has continued to struggle after its post-financial crisis bailout failed to turn its share price around and the company was divided and sold off. Concerns about exposure to Greek debt in Ageas’ portfolio caused further volatility in share prices during the period. In the energy sector, absolute and relative returns were hurt by exposure to Total, the France-based international integrated oil and gas company. Pension reform protests in France in September and October of 2010 took a toll on Total’s refining operations and led to fuel shortages in some areas. Additionally, a recent analyst report cautioned that the company may be facing slower growth and higher expenses. A holding in Diamond Offshore Drilling (U.S.) also dampened performance as expectations for regulatory and operational changes in the wake of the Gulf oil crisis put pressure on the share prices of offshore drillers. Stock selection in the industrials sector also negativly affected performance. The Fund held aerospace and defense companies Elbit Systems (Israel) and BAE Systems (U.K.), which saw their share prices tumble.

 

  

Finally, the Fund’s relative underweightings in the consumer discretionary, materials, industrials and information technology sectors further dampened performance. These sectors were the top performing groups in the benchmark index during the period.

 

However, stock selection in other sectors fared better. The Fund’s largest contributor to relative and absolute returns was Altria Group, the U.S.-based holding company of cigarette maker Philip Morris, which reported rising earnings despite lower sales volumes. On a sector basis, the Fund’s overweight in utilities and underweight in financials benefitted returns. Shares of U.K. power generation company International Power rallied on an announcement in July that the company was exploring a reverse takeover with GDF Suez, an electricity and natural gas provider based in France. A position in Colombia’s largest bank, Bancolombia, was also among the top contributors to both relative and absolute results.

 

Country exposures which is a result of our bottom-up investment process, added modestly to relative performance. Overweightings to Turkey, South Korea, and Colombia boosted relative returns, as did underweightings to laggards such as Japan, Italy, and Greece. However, the negative influence of overweightings to Israel and France and underweights to Hong Kong and the U.S. somewhat tempered gains.

Allianz RCM All Horizons Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM All Horizons Fund returned 7.06%, at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.98% during the reporting period.

 

Uncertainties about high levels of debt in some European countries and the effects on the global economy were the leading issues over much of the year, driving high levels of volatility. Correlations rose sharply in May as macroeconomic concerns drove the market lower. Sentiment lifted during the summer on the positive results of the euro-area bank stress test, followed by rising expectations for further quantitative easing in the U.S. This helped markets to rally through to November, when renewed fears about the European

  

sovereign debt crisis and tightening monetary policy in China led markets to sell off again. Both foreign exchange and commodity markets displayed large moves during the period.

 

Stock selection produced outperformance

 

The Fund’s outperformance during the period was driven by strong stock selection within the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials sectors, as well as strong stock selection within Australia and France.

 

Two leading performers were LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Estee Lauder. Shares of both companies were bolstered by strong financial results during the period as well as

  

favorable investor sentiment stemming from positive outlooks for product sales. Another top performer was Mecox Lane, a Chinese online retailer that launched its initial public offering (IPO) in the U.S. during the period. After its strong opening in the U.S. market, the stock rapidly reached our target valuation and was sold.

 

The largest underperformer during the period was Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a global biotechnology company. The company’s share price was negatively affected when trial data for one of its Hepatitis C drugs did not match expectations and investor interest shifted toward a competitor with a rival drug.

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the period from June 7, 2010 (inception) through November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM China Equity Fund, at NAV, returned 32.07%, significantly outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI China Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 17.29%.

 

In China, 2010 corporate earnings were generally positive. However, sentiment was mixed as investors worried about potential government intervention to control inflation though price controls, potential rate increases, and slower-than-expected loan growth in 2011 given continuous increases in reserve requirement ratios (RRRs) for lenders. Speculation about these measures capped market upside as investors turned more cautious. Overall, Chinese markets rose during

  

the reporting period (as measured by the MSCI China Index), with gains in both the H-shares and Red chips markets.

 

Stock selection was the primary driver (more than 90%) of outperformance during the reporting period. The Fund’s stock selection was particularly strong in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. The Fund’s overweight in these sectors also contributed positively to returns.

 

At the stock level, the key contributor to returns was Brilliance China Automotive (up 192% for the reporting period). The share price of Brilliance China was supported by strong earnings results for the first half of 2010 driven by robust demand

   for luxury sedans, strong minibus sales growth and a sharp recovery in margins after the disposal of their Zhonghua sedan business in the fourth quarter of 2009. Looking ahead, the company may benefit further from renewed management refocus on the profitability of the company’s minibus business. On the contrary, stock selection in the financials sector (insurance in particular) slightly detracted from returns during the reporting period. China Life Insurance underperformed on concerns of a slowdown in its value of new business as well as an equity market write down. However, we maintained a positive view on the stock in the medium term given still low penetration rate and rising income in China which should be supportive of growth of life insurance products

Allianz RCM Disciplined Equity Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM Disciplined Equity Fund returned 8.38%, at NAV, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 9.94% during the reporting period.

 

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period overall. Stocks were supported by the economy’s return to expansion (as measured by gross domestic product growth), although growth was slow and the employment and housing markets remained stubbornly weak. Concerns about default risks in heavily indebted European countries led to pullbacks in the U.S. market in February and May. With the effects of economic stimulus running their course and the pace of the recovery waning, market volatility persisted through the summer. Equities began rallying again in September on expectations that the Federal Open Market Committee (the “FOMC”) would initiate a

  

second round of quantitative easing (which the FOMC did formally announce in November), reducing the risk of a double-dip recession. However, stocks’ advance slowed in November as investors resumed a more cautious stance.

 

Stock selection dampened relative gains

 

The Fund’s relative underperformance was primarily driven by stock selection, despite the positive effect of sector allocation. Health care holding Medtronic was the largest detractor from relative returns during the reporting period. Shares of the medical device company were hurt by disappointing sales and earnings for the first fiscal quarter due to shrinking demand for spinal and cardiac devices. Other significant detractors included Cisco Systems, Lockheed Martin, Walgreen, and Baxter International.

  

Other holdings, however, fared better. The leading contributor to performance was global mining company Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, whose profit margins strongly benefited from rising commodity prices for copper and gold. Other positions that boosted relative performance included National Oilwell Varco, Intuit, Autodesk, and an underweight in Exxon Mobil.

 

The Fund’s sector allocation was additive as well. Relative gains from an underweight position in financials and an overweight position in industrials more than compensated for weakness caused by an underweight position in consumer discretionary and an overweight position in health care.

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM Global EcoTrends SM Fund returned -9.93%, at NAV. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE ET 50 Index (the “benchmark index”) returned -9.25% for the same period.

 

The diverging paths of the developed and emerging worlds kept international equity markets volatile during the 12-month period. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices, respectively).

  

Performance drivers

 

For the period, the Fund’s allocation to energy efficiency companies was the largest thematic

contributor to underperformance. Stock selection in the wind segment also detracted, though the Fund’s thematic positioning in wind was positive, as was stock selection in the pollution control, solar and water treatment themes.

 

Key detractors amongst individual stocks included U.S. LED company CREE. Our view of the industry at the beginning of the period was one of limited opportunity given the unclear commercial potential as well as rich valuations. After heavy research, however, we gained conviction in the longer-term story, and subsequently initiated positions in several LED companies, including CREE. Although the strong performance of these companies (a group also including Veeco) gives us confidence in our decision to invest, the Fund’s participation came too late in the period to enjoy the full benefit.

 

An overweight position in Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Gamesa also detracted from performance, though in the longer-term we retain

  

our positive view on tier 1 turbine manufacturing companies such as Gamesa (and Danish Vestas). Despite the currently poor sentiment in the wake of profit warnings, we are encouraged by strong order inflow and attractive valuations.

 

Among contributors, Austrian hydro-turbine producer Andritz was the biggest overweight position in the Fund and among the top contributors over the last 12 months, with its share price up more than 40%. After trading sideways for much of the summer, Andritz shares rose again in November on excellent financial results indicating strong order intake and increases in margins following robust demand for hydro and pulp and paper equipment.

 

The U.K. electronic control and process instrumentation producer Spectris was another top performer. 2010 earnings estimates have risen by nearly half over the past year. Spectris also made a well-received acquisition of a small networking products business called N-Tron during the period, further supporting the upward revision of earnings estimates.

Allianz RCM Global Water Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM Global Water Fund returned 9.63% , at NAV, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P Global Water Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 10.12% during the reporting period.

 

The diverging paths of the developed and emerging worlds kept international equity markets volatile during the 12-month period. Developed markets contended not only with the heavy fiscal debt burdens of Greece, Ireland and other peripheral European nations, but also a generally slower growth outlook that threatened to dampen the global economic recovery. In contrast, emerging market economies remained on pace to deliver higher growth coming out of the global recession, attracting investors despite concerns about inflationary pressures and the potential for aggressive interest rate tightening in the future. This propelled emerging market equities to strongly outperform developed market equities for the period overall (as measured by the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices, respectively).

  

Performance drivers

 

We attribute much of the Fund’s outperformance to our decision to underweight utilities and instead focus on quality industrial companies with potential for structural growth as well as sustainable margins. This decision led to a number of positions which boosted relative returns. In China, our market research into the waste water treatment equipment sector led us to avoid Douyan Global Water. This decision supported relative returns as the stock dropped significantly over the course of the year. Similar research on end markets for pulp in South America and irrigation equipment in the U.S. confirmed our investment cases for holdings Andritz and Lindsay, both of which subsequently became the best-performing water stocks in 2010. The decision to not invest in basic construction material companies like Mueller Water or Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas S.A. (FCC) in Spain also proved benefical for the Fund’s performance.

   Detrimental to performance were overweight positions in the engineering consultancy segment, particularly Arcadis, Stantec, Tetra Tech and RPS, which suffered from investor concerns about public budget cuts resulting in less public engineering work. The Fund’s returns were also hampered by its lack of exposure to stocks and industries that performed well during the review period. Key detractors included underweightings in U.S. motor manufacturer Franklin Electric, Italian pump and hydraulics producer Interpump, and Finnish chemical company Kemira. Underweightings to selected U.K. water utilities also hurt performance in cases where stocks benefited from speculation about purchases by infrastructure funds.

Allianz RCM International Opportunities Fund

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

Portfolio Insights

 

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2010, Class A Shares of the Allianz RCM International Opportunities Fund returned 1.50%, at NAV, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.11% during the reporting period.

 

Uncertainties about high levels of debt in some European countries and the effects on the global economy were the leading issues over much of the year, driving high levels of volatility. Correlations rose sharply in May as macroeconomic concerns drove the market lower. Sentiment lifted during the summer on the positive results of the euro-area bank stress test, followed by rising expectations for further quantitative easing in the U.S. This helped markets to rally through to November, when renewed fears about the European sovereign debt crisis and tightening monetary policy in China led markets to sell off again. Both foreign exchange and commodity markets displayed large moves during the period.

  

Performance helped by stock selection and sector exposures

 

The Fund’s outperformance during the period was driven by both strong stock selection and sector allocation. Relative underweight positions in financials and utilities benefited performance as did an overweight position in information technology. Stock selection was the most favorable within information technology, health care and consumer staples, as well as within the U.K. and Germany.

 

The leading performer was LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Shares of the diversified luxury goods group were bolstered by strong financial results during the period and favorable investor sentiment stemming from positive outlooks for product sales. Another strong performer was Baidu, the dominant online search engine in China. The company gained market share as a censorship dispute between the Chinese government and rival Google caused

  

Google to temporarily leave the market. Atlas Copco, the Swedish mining and construction equipment maker, also produced strong results during the reporting period as the company continued to benefit from growth in India and China.

 

The two largest underperforming positions were European financial stocks Banco Santander and BNP Paribas. Both stocks came under pressure from concerns over their exposure to debt in peripheral Europe. However, this was offset by the Fund’s underweighting to financials as a whole along with better performance from other holdings such as Standard Chartered and ANZ Bank. These banks had greater exposure to more robust growth in the Asia Pacific region.

Important Information

 

The inception date on each Fund Summary page is the inception date of the Fund’s oldest share class or classes. The oldest share class for Allianz RCM Global EcoTrendsSM Fund is the A share class, and the C, D, P, and Institutional Class shares were first offered in 9/08. Prior to this date, the Fund was a closed-end interval fund. The oldest share classes for Allianz RCM Global Water Fund are A, C, D, and P, and the Institutional Class shares were first offered in 7/08. The oldest share class for Allianz AGIC International Growth Fund is the Institutional share class and the A, C, D, P and R share classes were first offered in 2/09. Allianz Global Investors Solutions Core Allocation Fund reorganized on May 4, 2009 when its predecessor merged into the Trust. The Core Allocation Fund’s shares were first offered in 9/98. On April 12, 2010, the following funds reorganized when their predecessors merged into series of the Trust (including fund’s inception date): Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund (4/93), Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund (7/96), Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund (12/97), Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund (10/93), Allianz AGIC Micro Cap Fund (7/95), Allianz AGIC Ultra Micro Cap Fund (1/08), Allianz AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund (7/07). For each of these new AGIC funds, Institutional Class is the oldest share class, except that for AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund, the oldest share class of the predecessor fund merged into Class P.

 

Returns measure performance from the inception of the oldest share class to the present, so some returns predate the inception of the actual share class. Those returns are calculated by adjusting the returns of the oldest share class to reflect the indicated share class’s different operating expenses. Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested on the payable date.

 

Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. Class C shares are subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for shares redeemed in the first year. Class D shares are continuously offered through financial service firms, such as broker-dealers or registered investment advisers. Class R shares are generally available only to 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and healthcare benefit funding plans. Class P shares are offered primarily through certain asset allocation, wrap fee and other similar programs offered by broker-dealers and other intermediaries. Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by investors such as pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations, corporations and high net worth individuals. Administrative Class shares are offered primarily through employee benefit plan alliances, broker-dealers and other intermediaries.

 

November 1, 2009, Class B shares of Allianz Multi-Strategy Funds are no longer available for purchase, except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments.

 

The Lipper Averages are calculated by Lipper, Inc. They are based on the total return performance, with distributions reinvested and operating expenses deducted, of funds included by Lipper in the stated category. Lipper does not take into account sales charges.

 

The Cumulative Returns charts for each Fund assume the initial investment was made on the first day of the Fund’s initial fiscal year. The charts reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any CDSC that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the most recent fiscal year. Results assume that all dividends and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account the effect of taxes. The benchmark cumulative return began on the last day of the month of the respective Fund’s inception date.

 

Proxy Voting

 

The Trust’s Investment Manager and each Sub-Adviser have adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust (the “Trust”) as the policies and procedures that the Sub-Advisers will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. Copies of the written Proxy Policy and the factors that the Sub-Advisers may consider in determining how to vote proxies for each Fund, and information about how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-988-8380 (retail classes) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class P, Institutional and Administrative classes) and on the Allianz Global Investors Distributors Web site at www.allianzinvestors.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Form N-Q

 

The Trust files complete schedules of each Fund’s portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year, which are available on the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-988-8380 (retail classes) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class P, Institutional and Administrative classes). In addition, the Trust’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Table of Contents

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Shareholder Expense Example, which appears on each Fund Summary page in this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Shareholder Expense Example for a Fund.

 

Shareholder Expense Example

 

Shareholders of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. The Shareholder Expense Example is intended to help shareholders understand ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Shareholder Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period, as indicated, and held for the entire period through November 30, 2010.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = $8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

All the information on the Fund Summary pages, including Portfolio Insights, Total Return, Cumulative Return charts, Shareholder Expense Examples and Allocation Summaries is unaudited.

(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the period.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the period and a sale of a share on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested. Total return does not reflect sales charges and includes the effect of waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Total investment return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
(c) Annualized.
(d) Does not include expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests.

The Trust currently consists of the following twenty-three separate investment funds, each the “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”: Allianz Global Investors (“AGI”) Solutions 2015 Fund, AGI Solutions 2020 Fund, AGI Solutions 2030 Fund, AGI Solutions 2040 Fund, AGI Solutions 2050 Fund, AGI Solutions Core Allocation Fund, AGI Solutions Growth Allocation Fund, AGI Solutions Retirement Income Fund, Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund, Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund, Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund, Allianz AGIC International Growth Fund, Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund, Allianz AGIC Micro Cap Fund, Allianz AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund, Allianz AGIC Ultra Micro Cap Fund, Allianz NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund, Allianz RCM All Horizons Fund, Allianz RCM China Equity Fund, Allianz RCM Disciplined Equity Fund, Allianz RCM Global EcoTrendsSM Fund, Allianz RCM Global Water Fund and Allianz RCM International Opportunities Fund. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), serves as the Funds’ Investment Manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Currently, the Trust may offer up to seven classes of shares: A, C, D, P, R, Administrative and Institutional shares. As of November 1, 2009, Class B shares are no longer available for purchase, except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments. The Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value shares of beneficial interest.

 

On March 19, 2010, Nicholas-Applegate International Growth Fund merged into Allianz AGIC International Growth Fund. Nicholas-Applegate International Growth Fund transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities in exchange for Institutional Class shares of Allianz AGIC International Growth Fund.

 

On April 12, 2010, the following Nicholas-Applegate funds reorganized into the corresponding new funds of the Trust: Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Convertible Fund into Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Emerging Growth Fund into Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. High Yield Bond Fund into Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. International Growth Opportunities Fund into Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Micro Cap Fund into Allianz AGIC Micro Cap Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund into Allianz AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund and Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Ultra Micro Cap Fund into Allianz AGIC Ultra Micro Cap Fund. Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Convertible Fund transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities of Class IV shares in exchange for Institutional Class shares of Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund and transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities of Class I and Class II shares in exchange for Class P shares of Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund. Nicholas-Applegate International Growth Opportunities Fund transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities of Class II and Class III shares in exchange for Institutional Class shares of Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund and transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities of Class I shares in exchange for Class P shares of Allianz AGIC International Growth Opportunities Fund. Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Emerging Growth Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. High Yield Bond Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Micro Cap Fund, Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund and Nicholas-Applegate U.S. Ultra Micro Cap Fund transferred substantially all of their assets and liabilities in exchange for Institutional Class shares of the corresponding Fund in the Trust (Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund, Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund, Allianz AGIC Micro Cap Fund, Allianz AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth Fund and Allianz AGIC Ultra Micro Cap Fund). The costs and expenses of these reorganization transactions were borne by the Investment Manager and Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC (“AGI Capital”) pursuant to a cost-sharing agreement.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

Notes to Financial Statements  (Cont.)

November 30, 2010

 

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

 

(a) Valuation of Investments.  Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. Investments in underlying funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each underlying fund as reported on each business day.

 

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available, or with respect to which a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. The market value for NASDAQ National Market and Small Cap Securities may also be calculated using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price instead of the last reported sales price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

 

The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund’s NAV is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

 

The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the time the Fund’s NAV is calculated. With respect to certain foreign securities, the Funds may fair-value securities using modeling tools provided by third-party vendors. The Funds have retained a statistical research service to assist in determining the fair value of foreign securities. This service utilizes statistics and programs based on historical performance of markets and other economic data to assist in making fair value estimates. Fair value estimates used by the Funds for foreign securities may differ from the value realized from the sale of those securities and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other asset, and fair values used to determine each Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by a Fund.

(b) Fair Value Measurement.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access

 

Level 2—valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or quotes from inactive exchanges

 

Level 3—valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended November 30, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. When fair-valuing securities, the Funds utilized multi-dimensional relational pricing models and the estimation of the price that would have prevailed in a liquid market for an international equity given information available at the time of evaluation.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities, for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

 

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock)—Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Corporate Bonds and Notes—Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Convertible Bonds—Convertible bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the

issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts—Forward foreign currency contracts are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, actual trading

information and foreign currency exchange rates gathered from leading market makers and foreign currency exchange trading centers throughout the world. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of forward foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, and then are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Funds, using reasonable diligence, become aware of such dividends. Dividends from underlying funds are recorded as dividend income, while capital gain distributions are recorded as net capital gain distributions received from underlying funds on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses of the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes.  The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal

income taxes is required. The Funds may be subject to excise tax to the extent of distributions to shareholders.

 

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds’ management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at November 30, 2010. Each Fund’s federal tax returns for the period since inception or for the prior three years, whichever is shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  The Funds (except for AGI Solutions Core Allocation, AGI Solutions Retirement Income, AGIC Convertible, AGIC High Yield Bond and NFJ Global Dividend Value) declare dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AGI Solutions Core Allocation, AGI Solutions Retirement Income, AGIC Convertible and NFJ Global Dividend Value declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AGIC High Yield Bond declares dividends from net investment income monthly and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds record dividends

and distributions to their respective shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent that dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

 

(f) Multi-Class Operations.  Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include distribution, servicing, administrative servicing and sub-transfer agent fees.

 

(g) Foreign Currency Translation.  The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain (loss) is included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

 

(h) Foreign Taxes on Dividends.  Dividend income in the Statements of Operations is shown net of foreign taxes withheld on dividends from foreign securities. Foreign taxes withheld were as follows: AGIC Emerging Growth—$279, AGIC International Growth—$141,094, AGIC International Growth Opportunities—$144,934, AGIC Micro Cap—$1,603, AGIC Small to Mid Cap Growth—$378, AGIC Ultra Micro Cap—$224, NFJ Global Dividend Value—$13,585, RCM All Horizons—$979, RCM China Equity—$1,477, RCM Global EcoTrendsSM—$82,964, RCM Global Water—$84,056 and RCM International Opportunities—$33,422.

 

(i) Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds enter into transactions with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair-value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

(j) Equity-Linked Securities.  Certain Funds purchase equity-linked securities, also known as participation notes, equity swaps, and zero strike calls and warrants. Equity-linked securities are primarily used by a Fund as an alternative means to more efficiently and effectively access what is generally an emerging securities market. The Fund deposits cash with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) in an amount near or equal to the selling price of the underlying security in exchange for an equity linked security. Upon sale, the Fund receives cash from the broker or custodian equal to the value of the underlying security. Aside from market risk of the underlying securities, there is a risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund might be unable to obtain its expected benefit. In addition, while a Fund will seek to enter into such transactions only with parties that are capable of entering into closing transactions with the Fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close out such a transaction with the counterparty or obtain an offsetting position with any counterparty, at any time prior to the end of the term of the underlying agreement. This may impair the Fund’s ability to enter into other transactions at a time when doing so might be advantageous.

 

(k) Custody Credits on Cash Balances.  The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits that reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income-producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds. Cash overdrafts, if any, are included in custodian and accounting agent fees.

 

2. PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market price risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to various other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency and credit risks.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.

 

The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

 

To the extent the Funds directly invest in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, they will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including economic growth, inflation, changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the

Funds’ investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Funds.

 

The Funds are subjected to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws of currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

 

The market values of equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, or equity-related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Funds’ sub-advisers, AGI Capital, Allianz Global Investors Solutions LLC (“AGIS”), NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”), RCM Asia Pacific Limited (“RCM AP”), RCM Capital Management LLC (“RCM”) and Allianz Global Investors Advisory GmbH (“AGIA”), each an affiliate of the Investment Manager, seek to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

 

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Funds and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The Funds are also party to Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

 

The counterparty risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds’ overall exposure to counterparty risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

 

3. UNDERLYING FUNDS AND OTHER ACQUIRED FUNDS RISK

 

AGI Solutions 2015, AGI Solutions 2020, AGI Solutions 2030, AGI Solutions 2040, AGI Solutions 2050, AGI Solutions Core Allocation, AGI Solutions

Growth Allocation and AGI Solutions Retirement Income invest their assets primarily in Underlying Funds. The Funds may also invest a portion of their assets in affiliated and unaffiliated exchange-trade funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and pooled vehicles other than the Underlying Funds (together, “Other Acquired Funds”). Accordingly, the Funds’ investment performance depends upon a favorable allocation among the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds as well as the ability of the Underlying Funds to achieve their objectives. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Underlying Fund will be achieved. The risks associated with investing in each Fund are closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds.

 

Investing in the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds involves certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in the Underlying Funds or Other Acquired Funds. Each Fund’s net asset value will fluctuate in response to changes in the net asset values of the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds in which it invests. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with each Fund correlate to those of a particular Underlying Fund or Other Acquired Fund will depend upon the extent to which each Fund’s assets are allocated from time to time for investment in the Underlying Fund or Other Acquired Fund, which will vary. Each Fund’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund may exceed 25% of its assets. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in an Underlying Fund, it will be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with that Underlying Fund.

 

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

Disclosure about derivative instruments and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds or underlying funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is 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 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. In addition, these contracts may involve market price risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. At November 30, 2010, the Funds did not have any open foreign currency contracts.

5. INVESTMENT MANAGER/SUB-ADVISERS/DISTRIBUTOR

 

Investment Advisory Fee.  Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, each Fund’s investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee from each Fund, payable monthly, at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets as indicated in the following table.

(4) Includes short-term capital gains

 

For the period ended November 30, 2010, permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to the differing treatment of foreign currency transactions, reclassification of short term capital gain dividends, expiration and write off of capital loss carryforwards, net operating losses, PFIC transactions and character differences of convertible preferred securities.

11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.), agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered as an investment adviser and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.

 

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the “MDL Court”). After a number of claims in the lawsuits were dismissed by the MDL Court, the parties entered into a stipulation of settlement, which was publicly filed with the MDL Court in April 2010, resolving all remaining claims, but the settlement remains subject to the approval of the MDL Court.

 

The Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisers and the Distributor believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities or distribution services relating to the Funds.

13. FUND REORGANIZATION

 

Prior to the opening of business on March 22, 2010, the Allianz NACM International Growth Fund (the “Allianz Fund”) acquired all assets and liabilities of the Nicholas-Applegate International Growth Fund (the “NACM Fund”). The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,538,266 Class I shares and 10,027,746 Class II shares of the NACM Fund, valued at $99,372,339 in total, for 4,236,267 and 16,688,627, respectively, of the Institutional Class shares of the Allianz Fund. The investment portfolio of the NACM Fund, with a fair value of $101,198,651 and identified cost of $91,475,364 at March 19, 2010, was the principal asset acquired by the Allianz Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Allianz Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the NACM Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Allianz Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Allianz Fund’s net assets were $4,236,652. The NACM Fund’s unrealized appreciation at acquisition date was $9,724,720.

 

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Allianz Fund, the Allianz Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2010, would have been as follows:

 

Net investment income

     $     925,090

Net gain on investments and foreign currency transactions

     $  7,395,021 ** 

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations

     $  8,320,111   

 

* $841,001 as reported, plus $74,593 of the NACM Fund premerger, plus $9,496 of pro-forma expense adjustments.
** $2,457,774 as reported, plus $4,937,247 of the NACM Fund premerger.

 

Because both the Allianz Fund and the NACM Fund continuously sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the NACM Fund that have been included in the Allianz Fund’s Statement of Operations since March 22, 2010.

 

See Note 10Shares of Beneficial Interest, for the changes in shares outstanding for the Allianz Fund during the year ended November 30, 2010.

14. REORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS

 

a. Allianz RCM China Equity Fund

 

On June 7, 2010, AGIFM launched the Allianz RCM China Equity Fund. RCM is the Fund’s Sub-Adviser and has delegated the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund to its affiliate, RCM AP. RCM AP was formed in 2006 and is licensed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”). It became a registered adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in January 2007. RCM AP succeeded to all of Allianz Global Investors Hong Kong Limited’s equity management business in Hong Kong. RCM AP and RCM are affiliated companies under common control that are part of the same investment platform. RCM AP is located at 21/F, Cheung Kong Center, 2 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong.

 

b. Novation of Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLP (“NACM”) Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

On August 25, 2010, the sub-advisory contracts between AGIFM and NACM with respect to series of the Trust were novated to AGI Capital, which was NACM’s direct parent and is a registered investment adviser. AGI Capital manages the applicable Funds’ assets in a manner substantially similar to how NACM managed them. All of the employees of NACM became employees of AGI Capital and manage the applicable Funds’ assets consistent with the strategies, policies, and guidelines previously established by the clients with NACM. Following transfer of the employees and contracts to AGI Capital, NACM was merged into AGI Capital.

 

The applicable Funds and new names are:

 

Former Name   Current Name

Allianz NACM Convertible Fund

  Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund

Allianz NACM Emerging Growth Fund

  Allianz AGIC Emerging Growth Fund

Allianz NACM High Yield Bond Fund

  Allianz AGIC High Yield Bond Fund

Allianz NACM International Growth Fund

c. Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund

 

On May 24, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a series of share class authorization, reclassification and conversion transactions relating to Class P and Institutional Class shares of Allianz AGIC Convertible Fund. Effective June 4, 2010, the Fund launched “Class P-1” shares. At the close of business on June 7, 2010, Class P shares of 1,168,070 in the amount of $28,057,731 held in accounts on platforms maintained by third-party service organizations (i.e., not including Class P shares of the Fund held in accounts serviced by the Fund’s investment manager or distributor) automatically converted into shares of the new Class P-1 of the Fund. Class P-1 shares had the same shareholders’ rights and privileges with respect to exchanges, purchases, redemptions, distributions and other actions, and charged the same annual fund operating expenses, as those for Class P shareholders of the Fund. The Trust adopted an Administrative Services Plan for Class P-1 shares, which, similar to the Trust’s Administrative Services Plan for Class P shares, permitted the Fund to make service fee payments at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class P-1 shares, for the provision of certain administrative, recordkeeping and other services to Class P-1 shareholders.

 

Class P shares of 3,252,668 in the amount of $78,131,128 held in accounts serviced by the Fund’s investment manager or distributor were reclassified as “Institutional-1 Class” shares of the Fund immediately after the close of business on June 7, 2010. Simultaneously, the estimated annual fund operating expenses, after applying expense reductions pursuant to the Trust’s Expense Limitation Agreement, that are applicable to Institutional-1 Class shares of the Fund were lowered by 0.10%, from 0.82% to 0.72%, to reflect the termination of the Trust’s Administrative Services Plan for Class P shares with respect to this share class. The resulting net expense ratio was expected to match the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reductions” of Institutional Class shares of the Fund as stated in the applicable Prospectus.

 

At the close of business on June 7, 2010, Institutional Class shares of the Fund ceased to be available for purchase, or for exchanges by shareholders of other series of the Trust and series of Allianz Funds, PIMCO Funds and PIMCO Equity Series. At the close of business June 10, 2010, Institutional Class shares of 12,628,062 in the amount of $310,463,436 automatically converted into Institutional-1 Class shares of the Fund.

 

At the close of business on June 14, 2010, Institutional-1 Class shares of the Fund were reclassified as Institutional Class shares of the Fund, and Class P-1 shares of the Fund were reclassified as Class P shares of the Fund.The Fund ceased to have any Institutional-1 Class shares or Class P-1 shares authorized or outstanding.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management and Portfolio Management Agreements

(unaudited)

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve any new investment management agreement or sub-advisory agreement for a Fund. The agreements approved during the period covered by this report relate to the organization of the Allianz RCM Redwood Fund (the “Fund”).

 

The Trustees met in-person on September 21, 2010 for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve: the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and RCM Capital Management LLC (“RCM”). The Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements”.

 

The Board and the Independent Trustees unanimously approved, for an initial 2-year term, the Agreements with respect to the Allianz RCM Redwood Fund, a new series of the Trust, which commenced operations on December 27, 2010.

 

In connection with their deliberations regarding the proposed approval of the Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Independent Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services to be performed by the Investment Manager and RCM together, the “Advisers” under the Agreements.

 

In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Trustees noted that they had received and relied upon materials provided by AGIFM which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) on the annualized return investment performance for various time periods of a group of funds identified by Lipper with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives to those of the Fund, (ii) information on the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of RCM, including institutional separate accounts, (iv) an estimate of the anticipated profitability to AGIFM and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Advisers, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Advisers, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel proposed to provide investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund.

 

The Independent Trustees noted that their conclusions as to the approval of the Agreements would be based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors figured particularly in their deliberations (described below), although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.

 

As part of their review, the Independent Trustees examined the Advisers’ abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Fund. Among other information, they considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of RCM; the experience of key advisory personnel of RCM who would be responsible for portfolio management of the Fund; the ability of the Advisers to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Advisers; and the level of skill required to manage the Fund. They also reviewed the quality of each Adviser’s expected services with respect to regulatory compliance and ability to conduct compliance with the investment policies of the Fund; the

nature, extent and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager would be responsible for providing to the Fund; and conditions that might affect the Advisers’ ability to provide high quality services to the Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Independent Trustees concluded that RCM’s investment processes, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Fund given their investment objectives and policies, and that the Advisers would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under each Agreement.

 

In assessing the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed fees under the Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered, among other information, the Fund’s proposed management fee and its expected total expense ratio as a percentage of anticipated average daily net assets, taking into account the fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements that the Investment Manager would observe during the Fund’s first year, and the advisory fees and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.

 

The Independent Trustees considered how the Fund was expected to compare to its Lipper peers as to the total expense ratio, in addition to considering comparisons of the proposed management fees with the advisory fees of peer funds. The Independent Trustees took into account that a comparison of the Fund’s proposed management fee to the advisory fee of peer funds is complicated because the Fund’s proposed management fee includes a component for administrative services while many peer funds have separate advisory and administration agreements with separate fees. The Independent Trustees therefore placed significant emphasis on the estimated total expense ratio of the Fund compared to the total expense ratios of the peer funds, recognizing that the fees for investment advisory, administrative services and fund operating expenses would be subsumed within the total expense ratio of all funds.

 

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees did not have investment performance to compare to the Fund’s peer group’s returns.

 

The Independent Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Advisers to other clients, including fees charged by the Advisers to institutional and separate account clients with similar investment strategies as the Fund.

 

The Independent Trustees also considered the estimated profitability to the Advisers from their relationship with the Fund and determined that such profitability would not be excessive.

 

The Independent Trustees indicated that they also took into account that, as an open-end fund, the Fund did intend to raise additional assets, so as the assets of the Fund grow over time, the Fund could gain potential economies of scale by having its expenses spread over an increasing asset base, thus potentially lowering the total fund expenses as a percent of fund assets.

 

Additionally, the Independent Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Advisers and their affiliates, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment advisers to the Fund.

 

The Independent Trustees then discussed the proposed distribution arrangements and plans for the Fund and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Independent Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under each Agreement represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisers to the Fund. After further discussion, the Independent Trustees determined to approve the Agreements and distribution agreement and plans.

Our Commitment to You

 

We consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of our current, prospective and former shareholders’ personal information. To ensure our shareholders’ privacy, we have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholders’ needs to be served.

 

Obtaining Personal Information

 

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, we may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.

 

Respecting Your Privacy

 

As a matter of policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by shareholders or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required for our everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions or service a shareholder’s account, or as otherwise permitted by law. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information and gathering shareholder proxies. We may also retain non-affiliated financial services providers, such as broker-dealers, to market our shares or products, and we may enter into joint-marketing arrangements with them and other financial companies. We may also retain marketing and research service firms to conduct research on shareholder satisfaction. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. We may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to their respective brokerage or financial advisory firm, Custodian, and/or to their financial advisor or consultant.

 

Sharing Information with Third Parties

 

We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties, in limited circumstances, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property or upon reasonable request by any Fund in which a shareholder has chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about a shareholder or a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party only if we receive a shareholder’s written request or consent.

 

Sharing Information with Affiliates

 

We may share shareholder information with our affiliates in connection with our affiliates’ everyday business purposes, such as servicing a shareholder’s account, but our affiliates may not use this information to market products and services to you except in conformance with applicable laws or regulations. The information we share includes information about our experiences and transactions with a shareholder and may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in one of the Funds or in other investment programs, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about a shareholder’s transactions or accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

Procedures to Safeguard Private Information

 

We take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to such shareholders. In addition, we have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

 

Disposal of Confidential Records

 

We will dispose of records, if any, that are knowingly derived from data received from a consumer reporting agency regarding a shareholder that is an individual in a manner that ensures the confidentiality of the data is maintained. Such records include, among other things, copies of consumer reports and notes of conversations with individuals at consumer reporting agencies.
