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, smaller company risk, non-US investment risk, focused 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, counterparty 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. AllianzGI 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 values of the Funds are not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Please refer to the Fund’s applicable current prospectus for complete details.

President & CEO

 

Dear Shareholder,

Despite a period of weakness earlier in the year, the US economy expanded throughout the twelve-month fiscal reporting period ended November 30, 2014. Against this backdrop, US equities generated strong returns. Following a poor start, the US bond market reversed course and produced a positive return during the reporting period.

Twelve Months in Review

For the twelve-month fiscal reporting period ended November 30, 2014, US stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose 16.86%. 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 -0.02% and 8.91%, respectively, in US dollar-denominated terms. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 1.06%.

With respect to bonds, the Barclays US Credit Index returned 7.25%, whereas the Barclays Global High Yield Index rose 3.41%. The Barclays US Government Bond Index returned 3.87%, while the broader bond market index, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index, gained 5.27%.

Turning to the US economy, gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, expanded at a 2.6% annual pace during the fourth quarter of 2013. The economy then experienced a setback, as GDP contracted at an annual pace of 2.1% during the first quarter of 2014. The economy’s weakness was partially attributed to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, the economy quickly regained its footing, as GDP grew at an annual pace of 4.6% during the second quarter. Growth then accelerated during the third quarter, as the US Commerce Department reported that third quarter GDP grew at an annual pace of 5.0%.

While the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained an accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period, it started to take actions to transition to a more normalized stance. Looking back, at its meeting in December 2013, the central bank announced that it would begin tapering its monthly asset purchase program starting in January 2014. At each of the Fed’s next six meetings (January, March, April, June, July and September 2014), it announced additional tapering. As anticipated, at its meeting in October, the Fed announced that its asset purchase program had concluded. Finally, at its last meeting of the year in December, the Fed said, “Based

on its current assessment, the Committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalize the stance of monetary policy. The Committee sees this guidance as consistent with its previous statement that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time following the end of its asset purchase program in October, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Committee’s two percent longer-run goal, and provided that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored.”

Outlook

The headwinds facing the US economy during the first part of the year have lifted and recent data points to solid growth. Unemployment stood at 5.8% on November 30, 2014, the end of the fiscal reporting period, which was the lowest level since July 2008. In addition, the November 2014 job report showed that the

quality of jobs is improving and we’re starting to see growth in wages. Looking ahead, we believe that improvements in wage growth and job quality should continue, although it will vary significantly by region and industry. Furthermore, US consumers and many companies are benefiting from falling oil prices. Numerous companies are also reporting increased productivity, which typically pushes them to boost spending. With economic policy uncertainty on the decline following the November mid-term elections, companies appear poised to spend more. Against this backdrop, our base-case scenario is that the Fed starts raising rates in mid-2015. Still, even after the

Fed’s initial move, we see the monetary environment as remaining relatively accommodative, especially given that the central bank expects to maintain its balance sheet at its existing size through re-investment of its maturing assets.

On behalf of Allianz Global Investors Fund Management and our Sub-Advisers, thank you for investing with us. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor and to visit our website, us.allianzgi.com, for additional information. We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

AllianzGI Target-Date and Target Risk Funds*

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Market Review and Outlook

What Happened

Among the key themes that emerged during the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, three stand out. First, financial repression reigned for its fifth year as developed market-central banks continued to push investors into risk assets by maintaining policy interest rates at record lows. Second, volatility spiked in currency markets where the dominant trend for the period was the persistent strength in the US dollar beginning in July. Third, the fall in energy prices since the middle of the year contributed to a fall in the broader Bloomberg Commodity Index for the period.

Financial Repression Persists

During the period, risk assets benefited from continued financial repression and the acceptance that globally, the effects of quantitative easing would persist. However, divergences in central bank policy internationally were pronounced. While the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Bank of England (“BOE”) signaled the possibility that the liquidity party that started in 2008 would eventually end, in Europe and Japan, central banks signaled that the party will rage on. At about the same time that the Fed completed tapering its asset purchase program, the Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) announced that it would ramp up its quantitative easing activities, pledging to increase its balance sheet by 15% of GDP annually and extending the average duration of its bond purchases. Roughly a week after the BOJ announcement, Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, hinted at the possibility of a similar quantitative easing program from the European Central Bank in the form of sovereign bond purchases.

US Relative Strength, Dollar Rally

In the midst of the Fed messages, the dollar strengthened against a trade-weighted basket of major world currencies beginning in early July. A combination of higher relative growth in the US and higher nominal bond yields (relative to Germany and Japan) contributed to a rotation into the currency, with dollar strength reflecting confidence in the US relative to the rest of the world. But dollar appreciation during the period—it was up 9.2% in the 12 months—was also primarily a function of divergent monetary policies in the developed world. A theme that the AllianzGI Multi Asset team has highlighted for several years, the “fellowship of the central bankers” continued to weigh heavily on the global economy and, in this case, on currency markets. As a result, from July 1, 2014 to the end of the period, in developed markets, the Euro fell 8.8 percent, the Japanese Yen fell 16.6 percent and the British Pound fell 8.3 percent. Partly as a result of idiosyncratic, country-specific factors, several emerging market currencies fell markedly in the period with the Argentine Peso down 38.6 percent and the Russian Ruble down 54.1%.

Commodity Price Weakness

Dollar strength during the period coincided with renewed weakness in commodity prices. Most global commodities are priced in US dollars, which means that, all else equal, when the dollar appreciates, commodity prices fall. In addition, slowing demand from China contributed to cyclical commodity weakness, especially when considering that the country’s oil demand—which has been running at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7 percent for the last decade—experienced close to zero growth during the period, according to analysis provided by Morgan Stanley’s Emerging Market Equities team.

Commodity weakness was broad-based: the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell 9.04 percent with grains down 13.96 percent and precious metals down 10.77 percent, to name a few sub-sectors. The Bloomberg Energy Subindex, a broad measure of energy prices, fell 18.46 percent, which is a boost to US consumers since falling commodity prices act like a tax cut. In particular, lower oil prices—which translate into lower retail prices for gasoline—provide a meaningful boost to consumption: research (at Deutsche Bank as cited in the Wall Street Journal) has shown that every roughly 1-cent drop in gas prices translates into $1 billion in energy spending by US consumers. During the month of November, the average price of gasoline per gallon fell to $2.91, down from a high of $3.70 reached in April, according to the American Automobile Association.

Outlook

At the end of the period, interest rates remain at all-time lows, short term real interest rates in developed countries are negative (or close to zero) and credit spreads are tight, making bonds potentially as risky as equities. We see equities as fully valued around the globe except for a few pockets of deep value. We believe equity returns will hinge on growth, which look best in the US compared to all other developed markets, and in some emerging markets.

Overall, we believe the best investment strategy remains staying near the benchmark, keeping risk low and leaning toward high-quality strategies while avoiding high-risk/low-liquidity strategies. Patience and prudent diversification are the rules of the day.

During the period, the persistently low interest rates, the shift to dollar-denominated assets and falling commodity prices had implications for the Target-Date Fund (“TDF”) portfolios, including Retirement Income.

We began the period underweight duration versus our benchmarks and, at times, took advantage of opportunities to slightly shift our overall duration positioning. We also took advantage of short-term opportunities such as falling breakeven inflation rates and higher Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) yields. We benefitted by gaining exposure to international equities through a hedged strategy (the PIMCO International StocksPlus Fund), which we added to throughout the period. We maintained our underweight to commodities versus the benchmarks throughout the period.

* The “Target-Date Funds” are the AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2020 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2025 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2030 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2035 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2040 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2045 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2050 Fund and the AllianzGI Retirement 2055 Fund. The “Target Risk Funds” are the AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund and the AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation Fund and the AllianzGI Retirement Income Fund. As of January 1, 2015, the AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund and the AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation Fund will no longer be referred to as Target Risk Funds.

We continue to hold high-quality, high-dividend-paying stocks and short-duration high-yield bonds. If and when bond yields rise and equity valuations normalize, investment prospects will improve. We continue to monitor the economic evidence, and when new evidence tells us which path the global economy is on, we will change the portfolios accordingly.

As of the end of the period, the TDFs, including Retirement Income, remain underweight hard duration and remain exposed to fixed-income strategies that may benefit in rising-rate environments. The portfolios remain modestly underweight commodities and real estate. All of the portfolios are within their benchmark-determined risk budgets.

AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.09%, underperforming the Real Return Target 2015 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.85%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund held underweights in inflation hedging asset classes such as commodities, real estate and TIPS, an overweight to global equities and an overweight to global fixed income. Within the global equity component, the Fund held an overweight position in developed ex US large cap equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within the fixed income segment, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and an overweight to global credit strategies.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81 percent to 2.18 percent.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to inflation hedging assets had mixed effects on the Fund’s relative return to the benchmark. An underweight allocation to commodities contributed positively to the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The benefit of the underweight allocation to commodities was offset by the effects of being underweight real estate as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up over 30% during the reporting period. REITs benefited in part because treasury rates remained low and in part because risk-assets generally outperformed for much of the period. The Fund’s positioning within TIPS also detracted from relative returns as the Fund was positioned at the short end of the US TIPS curve. Prices fell on shorter-maturity TIPS, as inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year with the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading showing a 1.7 percent rise year-over-year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2 percent inflation goal.

In global equities, positioning within international equities detracted from the Fund’s relative return as an overweight to developed ex US large cap equities detracted from returns. The Fund, however, benefited from a hedged exposure to international equities through the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® Fund, added during the period. Slowing growth concerns in Europe contributed to European equities underperforming their US counterparts. In emerging market equities, exposure to the Templeton Frontier Market Fund detracted from relative performance as it underperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Market Index.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and positioning within inflation hedging asset classes detracted from performance which resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The AllianzGI TDFs place a strong emphasis on the Department of Labor’s guidelines for a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which contain language such as “to be diversified as to minimize the risk of large losses.” It is within this framework that the Funds continue to allocate to commodities, real estate, convertible bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market equities, frontier market equities and emerging market bonds within the return-generating segment of the portfolios to help provide diversification benefits to clients’ retirement assets.

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Retirement 2020 Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.11%, underperforming the Real Return Target 2020 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.07%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund held underweights in inflation hedging asset classes such as commodities, real estate and TIPS, an overweight to global equities and an overweight to global fixed income. Within the global equity component, the Fund held an overweight position in developed ex US large cap equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within the fixed income segment, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and an overweight to global credit strategies.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81 percent to 2.18 percent.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to inflation hedging assets had mixed effects on the Fund’s relative return to the benchmark. An underweight allocation to commodities contributed positively to the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The benefit of the underweight allocation to commodities was offset by the effects of being underweight real estate as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up over 30% during the reporting period. REITs benefited in part because treasury rates remained low and in part because risk-assets generally outperformed for much of the period. The Fund’s positioning within TIPS also detracted from relative returns as the Fund was positioned at the short-end of the US TIPS curve. Prices fell on shorter-maturity TIPS as inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year with the November Consumer Price index (CPI) reading showing a 1.7 percent rise year-over-year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2% inflation goal.

In global equities, positioning within international equities detracted from the Fund’s relative return as an overweight to developed ex US large cap equities detracted from returns. The Fund, however, benefited from a hedged exposure to international equities through the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® Fund, added during the period. Slowing growth concerns in Europe contributed to European equities underperforming their US counterparts. In emerging market equities, exposure to the Templeton Frontier Market Fund detracted from relative performance as it underperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Market Index.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and positioning within inflation hedging asset classes detracted from performance which resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The AllianzGI TDFs place a strong emphasis on the Department of Labor’s guidelines for a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which contain language such as “to be diversified as to minimize the risk of large losses.” It is within this framework that the Funds continue to allocate to commodities, real estate, convertible bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market equities, frontier market equities, and emerging market bonds within the return-generating segment of the portfolios to help provide diversification benefits to clients’ retirement assets.

AllianzGI Retirement 2025 Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Retirement 2025 Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.16%, underperforming the Real Return Target 2025 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.40%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund held underweights in inflation hedging asset classes such as commodities, real estate and TIPS, an overweight to global equities and an overweight to global fixed income. Within the global equity component, the Fund held an overweight position in developed ex US large cap equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within the fixed income segment, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and an overweight to global credit strategies.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81 percent to 2.18 percent.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to inflation hedging assets had mixed effects on the Fund’s relative return to the benchmark. An underweight allocation to commodities contributed positively to the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The benefit of the underweight allocation to commodities was offset by the effects of being underweight real estate as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up over 30% during the reporting period. REITs benefited in part because treasury rates remained low and in part because risk-assets generally outperformed for much of the period. The Fund’s positioning within TIPS also detracted from relative returns as the Fund was positioned at the short-end of the US TIPS curve. Prices fell on shorter-maturity TIPS as inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year with the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading showing a 1.7% rise year-over-year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2% inflation goal.

In global equities, positioning within international equities detracted from the Fund’s relative return as an overweight to developed ex US large cap equities detracted from returns. The Fund, however, benefited from a hedged exposure to international equities through the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® Fund, added during the period. Slowing growth concerns in Europe contributed to European equities underperforming their US counterparts. In emerging market equities, exposure to the Templeton Frontier Market Fund detracted from relative performance as it underperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Market Index.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and positioning within inflation hedging asset classes detracted from performance which resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The AllianzGI TDFs place a strong emphasis on the Department of Labor’s guidelines for a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which contain language such as “to be diversified as to minimize the risk of large losses.” It is within this framework that the Funds continue to allocate to commodities, real estate, convertible bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market equities, frontier market equities, and emerging market bonds within the return-generating segment of the portfolios to help provide diversification benefits to clients’ retirement assets.

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark, the Fund held underweights in inflation hedging asset classes such as commodities, real estate and TIPS, an overweight to global equities and an overweight to global fixed income. Within the global equity component, the Fund held an overweight position in developed ex US large cap equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within the fixed income segment, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and an overweight to global credit strategies.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark index in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81 percent to 2.18 percent.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to inflation hedging assets had mixed effects on the Fund’s relative return to the benchmark. An underweight allocation to commodities contributed positively to the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The benefit of the underweight allocation to commodities was offset by the effects of being underweight real estate as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up over 30% during the reporting period. REITs benefited in part because treasury rates remained low and in part because risk-assets generally outperformed for much of the period. The Fund’s positioning within TIPS also detracted from relative returns as the Fund was positioned at the short-end of the US TIPS curve. Prices fell on shorter-maturity TIPS as inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year with the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading showing a 1.7% rise year-over-year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2% inflation goal.

In global equities, positioning within international equities detracted from the Fund’s relative return as an overweight to developed ex US large cap equities detracted from returns. The Fund, however, benefited from a hedged exposure to international equities through the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® Fund, added during the period. Slowing growth concerns in Europe contributed to European equities underperforming their US counterparts. In emerging market equities, exposure to the Templeton Frontier Market Fund detracted from relative performance as it underperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Market Index.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and positioning within inflation hedging asset classes detracted from performance which resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The AllianzGI TDFs place a strong emphasis on the Department of Labor’s guidelines for a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which contain language such as “to be diversified as to minimize the risk of large losses.” It is within this framework that the Funds continue to allocate to commodities, real estate, convertible bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market equities, frontier market equities, and emerging market bonds within the return-generating segment of the portfolios to help provide diversification benefits to clients’ retirement assets.

AllianzGI Retirement 2050 Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Retirement 2050 Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.85%, underperforming the Real Return Target 2050 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 7.22%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund held underweights in inflation hedging asset classes such as commodities, real estate and TIPS, an overweight to global equities and an overweight to global fixed income. Within the global equity component, the Fund held an overweight position in developed ex US large cap equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within the fixed income segment, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and an overweight to global credit strategies.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark index in the fixed income portion of the portfolio, mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81% to 2.18%.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to inflation hedging assets had mixed effects on the Fund’s relative return to the benchmark index. An underweight allocation to commodities contributed positively to the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The benefit of the underweight allocation to commodities was offset by the effects of being underweight real estate as the Dow Jones US Select REIT index was up over 30% during the reporting period. REITs benefited in part because treasury rates remained low and in part because risk-assets generally outperformed for much of the period. The Fund’s positioning within TIPS also detracted from relative returns as the Fund was positioned at the short-end of the US TIPS curve. Prices fell on shorter-maturity TIPS as inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year with the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading showing a 1.7% rise year-over-year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2% inflation goal.

In global equities, positioning within international equities detracted from the Fund’s relative return as an overweight to developed ex US large cap equities detracted from returns. The Fund, however, benefited from a hedged exposure to international equities through the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® Fund, added during the period. Slowing growth concerns in Europe contributed to European equities underperforming their US counterparts. In emerging market equities, exposure to the Templeton Frontier Market Fund detracted from relative performance as it underperformed the broader MSCI Emerging Market Index.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and positioning within inflation hedging asset classes detracted from performance which resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The AllianzGI TDFs place a strong emphasis on the Department of Labor’s guidelines for a Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) which contain language such as “to be diversified as to minimize the risk of large losses.” It is within this framework that the Funds continue to allocate to commodities, real estate, convertible bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market equities, frontier market equities, and emerging market bonds within the return-generating segment of the portfolios to help provide diversification benefits to clients’ retirement assets.

AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.62%, underperforming the custom blended index, comprised of 60% MSCI AC World Index and 40% Barclays US Aggregate Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 7.01%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund placed a strong emphasis on diversification within both return-generating asset classes and defensive asset classes. Within the return-generating component, the Fund held an underweight to global equities in order to provide off-benchmark exposure to commodities, real estate, frontier market equities, developed ex US small cap equities and US small cap equities. Within defensive asset classes, the Fund was positioned with an underweight to duration and off-benchmark exposure to global credit strategies and short-term TIPS.

For the period, performance trailed the benchmark index in the fixed income portion of the portfolio mostly due to an underweight in hard duration (given the decrease in nominal yields in the period) and an overweight to credit. Funds used in the portfolio in part as duration hedges, including AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, PIMCO Senior Floating Rate Fund and Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Income Fund all materially underperformed the Barclays US Aggregate Index for the period. Yields on Treasuries fell during the reporting period, with the yield on the 10 Year Treasury falling from 2.81% to 2.18%.

The Fund’s positioning within global equities detracted from the period’s relative return. The Fund places a strong emphasis on diversification by providing off-benchmark exposure to commodities, real estate, developed ex US small cap, US small cap and frontier market equities. The Fund held an underweight allocation to US large cap equities which was the primary detractor from relative returns as the S&P 500 Index gained over 16% during the reporting period. Exposure to commodities detracted from the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The negative impact on the Fund’s commodity allocation was partially offset by the Fund’s exposure to real estate, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up more than 30% during the reporting period.

In aggregate, the Fund’s underweight to duration within the fixed income component and diversification within return-generating asset classes resulted in the Fund underperforming its benchmark index. The Fund maintains its focus on diversification with continued exposure outside of solely global equities and into other return-generating asset classes such as commodities, real estate, high yield bonds, emerging market bonds, and convertible bonds.

AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by the US Multi-Asset Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.40%, underperforming the MSCI AC World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.04%.

Portfolio Review

During the twelve-month period ending November 30, 2014, and relative to its benchmark index, the Fund placed a strong emphasis on diversification with off-benchmark exposure to commodities, real estate, international small cap equities, frontier market equities, US small cap equities, international fixed income and short-term US fixed income. The Fund held an underweight to global equities through an underweight position to US large-cap equities and international large-cap equities. The Fund remains among the most diversified within its Morningstar category.

From an asset class perspective, the Fund’s positioning within global equities detracted from the period’s relative return. Exposure away from US large cap equities into other return-generating asset classes detracted from returns as the S&P 500 Index gained over 16% during the reporting period. Exposure to commodities detracted from the period’s relative return as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell over 9% during the period. This price drop was mainly influenced by the sharp decline in oil prices as discussed in the market review and outlook. The negative impact on the Fund’s commodity allocation was partially offset by the Fund’s exposure to real estate, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index was up over 30% during the reporting period.

Exposure to underlying funds implementing managed-volatility strategies had a mixed effect on relative returns with each of the AllianzGI International Managed Volatility and AllianzGI Global Managed Volatility Funds outperforming its respective benchmark, while the AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility underperformed its respective benchmark index. The AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility Fund was hindered from the outperformance of higher-volatility equities over their lower-volatility counterparts.

In aggregate, the Fund’s diversification away from global large cap equities into other return-generating asset classes negatively impacted the Fund’s relative return. The Fund maintains its focus on diversification with continued exposure outside of equities and into other return-generating assets such as commodities, real estate, high yield bonds, emerging market bonds, and convertible bonds.

AllianzGI Behavioral Advantage Large Cap Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Raife Giovinazzo, CFA, PhD, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Behavioral Advantage Large Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 13.43%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 16.86%.

On an absolute basis, this was a good year for the stock market and the Fund as the U.S. economy continued to improve and investors continued to move money into the stock market.

Portfolio Review

On a relative basis, we underperformed the benchmark index. Our underperformance relative to the benchmark index was a combination of sector allocation and stock selection. We use a “bottom up” process of selecting stocks, which happened to result in slightly weak sector allocation this period. In general, we aim for a diversified portfolio that is roughly similar to the benchmark index in sector composition. As for stock selection, we were better at picking which stocks to avoid than which stocks to own. Over this period, 44% of the stocks that we over-weighted relative to the benchmark index subsequently out-performed, while 53% of the stocks we under-weighted relative to the benchmark index subsequently under-performed.

We follow a two-step investment process: we begin with a proprietary “Smart Beta” starting index that weights stocks proportional to accounting measures of size, and then we add an overlay based on behavioral finance. For the year ending November 30, 2014, our Smart Beta starting index largely matched the benchmark index. Our behavioral overlay underperformed, primarily due to our under-reaction sub-strategy that selects stocks with good news to which other investors are under-reacting. In the long run, we expect both our proprietary starting index and our behavioral overlay to add alpha relative to the benchmark index.

Our stock selection in Industrials was relatively strong, while our stock selection in Information Technology was relatively weak. During the review period, Apple was one of our largest positions at 1.1% on average of the portfolio. But because Apple is so big—Apple is about 3% of the benchmark index—even with a 1.1% average position in the Fund, we were still underweight Apple. Apple outperformed the benchmark index by almost 40% last year, making it simultaneously both the biggest positive contributor to absolute performance, and our biggest negative contributor to relative performance. Our biggest positive contributor to relative performance was Hewlett Packard, which we owned both because of our Smart Beta index and our behavioral overlay. Since the Fund is built deliberately as a diversified portfolio of 400-500 stocks, there were many minor wins and losses, but no single stock dominated for good or for bad.

While 2014 resulted in strong absolute performance and weak relative performance, our track record since inception is decidedly positive. Looking forward, we see many opportunities, and aim for similar long-term out-performance from our behavioral-finance inspired investment process over the long run.

AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund

From inception on December 2, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Dr. Rainer Tafelmayer, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class R6 Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 10.53%, outperforming the MSCI AC World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.52%.

The Fund implemented a well-diversified blend of the five long-term successful investment styles, emphasizing Value, Momentum, Earnings Change, Growth and Quality, and as such established a well-diversified mix of contrarian and trend-following investment styles.

Portfolio Review

In the first half of the reporting period, until the middle of May 2014, the Fund generated only moderate outperformance over the benchmark index with weaker performance in the area of value and positive contributions from the trend-following investment styles of momentum and earnings revisions. During March and April 2014, the investment style momentum incurred substantial underperformance. The value and small cap exposures of the Fund on the other hand, were able to compensate for the relative losses of momentum, so that the Fund remained slightly ahead of the benchmark index overall, demonstrating the benefits of a well-diversified investment style mix. In May and June, the Fund outperformed the benchmark index by around 1%, with all the major investment styles contributing positively and earnings revisions delivering the strongest outperformance. In October and November, the trend-following investment styles of momentum and earnings revisions as well as quality showed strong outperformance, value being rather flat to the benchmark index, lifting the strategy by another 1.75% over the benchmark index, resulting in an outperformance ahead of expectations over the reporting period.

The Fund’s strategy has only moderate leeway for sector allocation with a maximum deviation of 3% vs. the benchmark index for active sector weightings. The overall contribution from active sector allocation was strictly positive for the Fund’s strategy over the reporting period, with underweight positions in energy and materials as well as overweighting health care adding the most to relative performance, while underweighting consumer staples detracted to some extent.

From a regional point of view, the overall contribution from active weightings was also positive, especially from overweighting US stocks and underweighting Pacific ex Japan. Underweighting Europe ex UK also contributed positively. The contributions from underweighting emerging markets in the Fund’s strategy was also positive during the reporting period.

The Fund holds a broad number of stocks to implement a well-diversified mix of investment styles and assigns a maximum active weighting of 1% to individual stocks. Thus, the performance impact of individual stocks is lower for the Fund as compared to concentrated portfolios. In sum, the performance contributions from stock selection were also strongly positive over the past 12 months.

AllianzGI China Equity Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Christina Chung, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, the Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI China Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.47%, outperforming the MSCI China Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 3.07%.

Portfolio Review

The relative outperformance was attributed to both sector allocation and stock selection. Our stock selection in the industrials sector was the largest contributor to relative performance. In contrast, stock selection in information technology was an area of weakness and detracted from performance. One of our stock picks in the industrial sector (an environmental protection company) continues to be the major contributor to outperformance of the Fund as the company recorded strong order flows. On the negative side, the information technology sector detracted from relative performance over the reporting period in part because of our position in an IT services provider. However, we believe that the company is transforming from an IT distribution to an IT services business model, which should increase the company’s profitability. Management’s execution has been very strong while revenue is under pressure; management has made a concerted effort to cut costs and cash flow remains very strong. We believe that the de-rating is overdone and expect to see share price recovery in the medium term.

The equity markets rebounded in February after a sharp sell-off in late January 2014. The ride was bumpy due to the renminbi volatility, continued lackluster macro-economic data and tightened lending policies impacting the property sector. After hitting the bottom in early May, the Chinese equity markets have held up relatively well since then. Economic data for April and May improved, indicating China’s economy was stabilizing. Improvement was broad-based with both domestic orders and external demand sub-indices indicating growth, thanks to the mini-stimulus packages taking effect.

News on State Owned Enterprise (“SOE”) reform, the Shanghai-Hong Kong Mutual Market Access scheme and targeted stimulus measures supported the equity markets in the third quarter. However, the offshore Chinese/Hong Kong equity market suffered a sharp sell-off across the board near the end of the quarter. This was a result of the lackluster macroeconomic data in China, and towards the end of the month, the uncertainty created by the “Occupy Central” protests in Hong Kong. The markets steadied in October and edged higher towards month-end. As “Occupy Central” had largely faded into the background in November, the equity market was initially undermined by the lukewarm response on the Mutual Market Access scheme but was subsequently lifted as a result of the surprise interest rate cut announced by the People’s Bank of China (“PBoC”) on November 21, 2014.

Expectations of further monetary easing, including reserve requirement ratio (“RRR”) cut and relaxation on loan-deposit ratio, should continue to drive the Hong Kong equity market particularly for Chinese stocks. We believe that the current policy easing is unlikely to have a significant impact on economic growth. Hence, we remain cautious on cyclical stocks such as materials, commodities and energy. However, expectations of further interest rate cuts should drive liquidity into the A-share markets and this should have a positive spillover effect into H-shares. As a result, we believe the financial sector will lead the market rally in the short/medium term and hence we would selectively increase exposure to the sector.

AllianzGI Convertible Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Doug Forsyth, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Convertible Fund (the “Fund”) returned 9.56%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 12.44%.

Portfolio Review

In the reporting period, convertible bonds benefited from higher equity prices and credit spread tightening. The S&P 500 Index reached a new all-time high in November with the majority of corporate earnings meeting or exceeding expectations. Growing optimism on the US economic outlook and ongoing accommodative global central bank policies supported the stock market’s advance.

While credit risk continued to be minimal, external factors provided the largest influence on the market’s direction during the reporting period. These factors included corporate profits, economic data points, geopolitical uncertainty, the Fed outlook and the rapid crude oil sell-off.

Corporate earnings for a majority of companies came in better than expected, which helped support markets throughout the reporting period. In addition, the majority of companies reported revenue above analyst expectations. Finally, the outlooks provided by many companies were encouraging and appeared achievable.

Another factor that influenced the convertible market during the period was economic data trends. Throughout the reporting period, both current and expected statistics generally pointed to a US economy that is slowly grinding higher. While some of the US data released later in the third quarter was weaker; the majority of economic releases during the reporting period were positive. Globally, however, the economic statistics were more mixed, with Europe getting incrementally weaker. While the equity and convertible markets showed more volatility around individual economic releases, the prospects for continued low default rates supported downside protection for convertible bonds.

Across the geopolitical landscape, recent headlines continued to add uncertainty for risk assets in the market. The added day-to-day volatility did not help the equity or convertible markets.

Global central banks continued to be generally accommodative, and the US Fed governors’ comments maintained a dovish stance. However, unlike the investor interpretation in the first half of the year, sentiment in late July and early August shifted to a view that the Fed would begin to tighten more quickly than previously expected. The immediate result, albeit a potentially perverse reaction, was that risk assets immediately sold off. However, we believe the reality is that the Fed will tighten only in response to a more robust economy, and therefore the outlook is for more constructive corporate profits and low defaults.

Finally, declining global oil prices caused volatility in the equity markets. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) decision not to cut oil production accelerated the sell-off in crude oil. This had an immediate negative impact on the energy sector and energy-related stocks globally.

Performance

The Fund rallied with the market in the reporting period. The attribution for the period included several positive single-name performers from a variety of sectors. The majority of the Fund’s issuers exceeded earnings expectations, which helped contribute to absolute performance.

Sector allocations that helped relative performance in the period included industrials, materials and energy. Positive security selection in the industrials sector was beneficial, while an underweight and stronger issue-specific performance within the materials sector had a positive impact on a relative basis. In energy, the portfolio underperformed, but a lower-than-benchmark weight in an underperforming sector more than offset the aforementioned headwind.

In contrast, the Fund’s technology, consumer discretionary and transportation exposure weighed on relative performance during the reporting period. In particular, a slightly overweight and negative security selection within the technology sector detracted. The portfolio’s underperformance in consumer discretionary hindered relative returns, although an overweight helped to minimize the impact. An overweight in transportation was additive, but only partially offset weaker issue-specific performance.

For the period from inception on September 15, 2014 through November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.53%, underperforming the custom blended index, comprised of 40% J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified, 40% J.P. Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified, 20% J.P. Morgan GBI Global EM Diversified Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 0.26%.

Portfolio Review

During the reporting period, the emerging market debt universe provided mixed returns on the back of negative risk sentiment in fixed income spread products resulting from a confluence of factors, including significantly lower prices for oil and other major commodities, further ramifications from the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and the strengthening of the US dollar versus all major currencies in both developed markets and emerging markets. Hard currency sovereign and hard currency corporate bonds posted positive performance, while local currency bonds generated negative performance.

Contributing to this underperformance, in our view, was a low yielding environment persisting during 2014. This view was largely impacted by the slide in commodity and most notably oil prices. Our substrategy allocation relied on a 42% corporate selection strategy, roughly 8% income selection and nearly 16% quasi-sovereign selection. These three substrategies were under pressure from October onwards as the front end of the US Treasury curve underperformed in a bear flattening move, impacting short-term assets. Corporate assets, particularly those in commodity producing countries, or oil assets, particularly those in emerging market oil producing nations, remain under increasing pressure. Finally, there was a divergent trend between quasi-sovereign assets and sovereign assets, as valuations began to factor in additional spread premium for banks, and state entities in need of support in the face of falling budgets as a result of lower export income.

As of the beginning of November, a steady rise in liquidity premia began filtering through spreads, when the crisis in Russia accelerated.

In hard currency, the mostly widely followed indices, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Composite and J.P. Morgan Corporate EMBI Broad Diversified Composite, reported returns of +1.26% and +0.47%, respectively, for the period. In local currency, the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Composite Unhedged USD returned -2.16% for the period. By way of comparison, the return for the widely followed BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Constrained Index was -0.57% during the period while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -4.84%.

During the period, we witnessed the end of the third round of quantitative easing and clearer data points that the trajectory of the US economy was an improving trajectory and with that a potentially more hawkish Fed and higher Fed Funds rates in 2015, potentially as early as the first half of the year. In this context, it is not surprising that within emerging market debt, hard currency debt outperformed local currency debt, with the latter tending to underperform the former with greater magnitude during a period of rate normalization.

With this backdrop in mind, paradoxically during the period we saw a significant compression in US Treasury yields as risk sentiment deteriorated in October due to a number of the aforementioned factors with both global stock and credit markets experiencing a correction during the month as investors shifted into safe haven assets from risk assets. The yield on 5-year, 10-year and 30-year US Treasuries declined 31 basis points, 43 basis points and 45 basis points, respectively.

This compression in yields was a boon to hard currency investment grade emerging market sovereign and corporate bonds, which are much more correlated to treasuries than their high yield counterparts in emerging market debt. The differential in performance was stark. Investment grade hard currency sovereign and investment grade hard currency corporate bonds generated returns of +2.28% and +1.23%, respectively, during the period, with investors not surprisingly preferring sovereign bonds to corporate bonds. In contrast, high yield hard currency sovereign and high yield hard currency corporate bonds returned -0.58% and -1.08%, respectively, during the period, with the same preference for government entities over private ones.

As opposed to hard currency emerging market bonds, local currency emerging market bonds had challenging performance, as is expected during a period of negative global risk sentiment as the US dollar tends to outperform all other currencies as investors allocate to the safe haven reserve currencies. During the period, the US Dollar Index (DXY) returned +5.09%. Local bonds, which are approximately twice as liquid as hard currency bonds, took the brunt of the pain as investors liquidated long carry positions.

Hard Currency Sovereign Comments

Hard Currency Sovereign Market Environment

Hard currency sovereign debt returned +1.26% for the period. Over this time horizon, hard currency sovereign spreads widened by 31bps. However, the spread move was more than offset by the tightening in US Treasury yields mentioned above.

On a regional basis, Asia meaningfully outperformed, generating returns of +2.60%, followed by Africa with +1.79%, with Europe, Latin America and the Middle East underperforming with returns of +0.91%, +0.76% and +0.65%, respectively.

At the country level, oil importers delivered small positive returns, mostly from the tightening in US rates and minor spread compression. On the other hand, the oil exporting countries had large negative returns, not just from falling oil prices but idiosyncratic factors as well. Argentina had the largest positive return in EMBI Global Diversified during our reference period, driven by optimism about the expiry of the RUFO clause at year-end and likelihood of a deal with the holdout investors during 2015. Argentina was followed by large importers of oil, such as Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, South Africa, Romania, Morocco, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Venezuela, Ukraine, Ecuador and Kazakhstan were the worst-performing countries in the EMBI Global Diversified Index.

In Ukraine, the market has started to price in risk of a debt restructuring in 2015, resulting in a large correction on the country’s bonds. In Venezuela, oil accounts for almost all of the exports of the country and the lack of a major policy adjustment was received negatively by the investor community. Ecuador and Kazakhstan are both large exporters of oil, with low debt/GDP ratios, the market still punished these credits as the oil sell-off gathered momentum in the fourth quarter.

Portfolio Specifics

Our sovereign allocations emphasized oil importing countries, with 73% of the basket concentrated in countries whose fiscal positions benefit from declines in oil prices. We have been overweight countries such as Morocco, Pakistan, Kenya, Chile and Indonesia for that reason. An exception is Venezuela, where we are holding bonds of the 100% state-owned oil company PDVSA that trade near recovery value, and we think that the country has enough resources, even with low oil prices, to avoid default. We are also overweight Kazakhstan as we believe that the country’s sovereign bonds have been over-sold. Kazakhstan is a net international creditor, with debt/GDP of about 15% and international reserves worth 35% of GDP.

Hard Currency Corporate Comments

Hard Currency Corporate Market Environment

During the period, hard currency corporate spreads widened 30 basis points to 317 basis points to yield 5.55% at period end. The decline in US Treasury yields during the period more than offset the widening in spreads, resulting in a net positive return of +0.47%.

On a regional basis, in hard currency corporate bonds in US dollar terms, the Middle East region meaningfully outperformed, generating returns of +1.36%, followed by Asia with +1.13%, with Latin America, Europe and Africa underperforming with returns of +0.06%, -0.77% and -1.36%, respectively.

There were significant headwinds during the period, especially during the month of October when risk sentiment turned negative and with it global credit and equity markets experiencing a meaningful sell-off. Investors’ preference for the safety of higher quality bonds showed during the period, with investment grade EM corporate returning +1.23% versus high yield EM corporate, which returned -1.09%.

A 20% decline in oil prices clearly had an impact on energy-related companies, especially those further down the credit curve in high yield. Heightened geopolitical risk in Russia and Ukraine continued to impact the corporates in these countries. This was especially the case in Russia, where the impact of Western sanctions, restrictions placed on the ability of corporates to access the bond market, and most importantly the reduction of Russian exposure by investors on an increasingly waning appetite had a meaningful impact on all Russian names. In addition to this, some EM corporate names which were widely held by US high yield investors were also sold off in line with the sell-off in that market during the period.

Hard Currency Corporate Portfolio Specifics

During the period, the corporate section of the portfolio underperformed the overall corporate market. The underperformance was the result of a number of factors. The portfolio’s corporate exposure was geographically equally weighted exposure across all three major regions (Asia, CEEMEA and Latin America) and this mix underperformed the market as Asia and the Middle East were the outperformers. In addition to this, there were a couple of negative idiosyncratic credit stories in the portfolio in Brazil and Russia, which resulted in meaningful negative relative performance. These negatives were partially offset by strong performance in select Asian investment grade entities and to a lesser degree the portfolio’s Turkish exposure.

Local Currency

Local Currency Market Environment

Since the beginning of September, the US dollar strength became more pronounced on the back of increased signs of Fed tightening amid strong US economic data. Meanwhile renewed concerns surrounding countries with external imbalances resulted in higher volatility across all emerging markets currencies, with a wholesale sell-off in the area led by Russia, which was the biggest underperformer.

Oil prices fell during October as the global oil supply kept increasing while the demand remained tepid. Negative momentum continued in November following the OPEC decision not to reduce supply, causing significant weakness in commodity exporting currencies and bonds. As the US dollar rally continued, risk sentiment towards emerging market currencies soured further. Meanwhile emerging market local currency bonds rallied across most of the regions, as falling oil prices resulted in lower inflation expectations.

On a regional basis, in local currency bonds in US dollar terms, the Middle East & Africa region meaningfully outperformed, generating returns of +2.42%, followed by Asia with +0.17%, with Europe and Latin America underperforming with returns of -2.43% and -5.60%, respectively.

Local Currency Sovereign Portfolio Specifics

The Fund’s local currency exposure outperformed the overall market. The Fund held local currency bond positions in Mexico, Brazil and South Africa at the time of inception in September. However, the Fund hedged the currency exposures, and was unscathed from the market volatility witnessed in currencies. The Fund’s long duration exposures in Mexico, Brazil and South Africa contributed positively as well to the Fund’s performance. Overall the Fund maintained a significant underweight exposure to the emerging market local currencies, while holding long duration exposures in Mexico, Brazil and South Africa. Following the sell-off in early December, the Fund added exposures to Colombia and Malaysia on a tactical basis as valuation for those markets looks compelling despite negative market sentiment.

Overall Market Outlook

Approximately 65% of emerging market countries and 68% of emerging market companies are rated investment grade today, which we believe implies that solvency is not an issue for the vast majority of the emerging market debt universe and that default risk going forward remains low with the exception of a few countries and companies.

With that said, it is becoming increasing clear that the appetite of the broker-dealer community in the new paradigm of increased capital requirements and expanded regulatory requirements resulting from recent legislation (Dodd-Frank, EMIR) has resulted in a material near-to medium-term reduction in banks’ ability to hold inventory and in turn provide secondary market liquidity.

As a result, secondary market volumes continue to remain at historically low levels especially relative to massive growth of the asset class. This lack of liquidity is not purely an emerging market debt phenomenon but has also affected all credit markets in both developed as well as emerging regions. We do not believe this trend will revert back to more normalized levels for a number of years and investors need to allocate and manage risk appropriately.

Portfolio Review

The US economy started the year on a weak note to recover strongly and overall performed well throughout the year reporting solid economic data. The stability in the US economy was a positive catalyst for equity markets, with both the Dow Jones and S&P 500 reaching all-time highs towards the end of the reporting period. US Quantitative Easing ended in 2014 as the Federal Reserve Bank believes that there has been substantial improvement in the labor market and that the US economy is now on a sound footing in terms of price stability.

There is speculation that the European Central Bank (“ECB”) will introduce some sort of Quantitative Easing in Europe in 2015. In November, ECB President Mario Draghi emphasized that the ECB was willing to take unconventional monetary policy measures in order to fight potential deflation tendencies and prop up growth in the euro area. After initial gains emerging markets equities suffered against the background of expected higher US policy rates to end the year almost unchanged. By contrast, emerging markets hard currency bonds registered solid returns and outperformed developed markets for part of the year. India, Indonesia and Turkey are markedly up this year along with China.

The political unrest in the Ukraine and the economic sanctions against Russia have increased pressure on the markets in the second half of 2014 and the full implications of these sanctions still have to be realized. In the euro area, disappointing economic data has depressed the market somewhat and manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell to a 13-month low. GDP was below expectations. Despite these figures, we regard the risk of slipping into deflation as small. Financial markets seem to have called off fears of a backlash towards recession which were prevalent in the first quarter of 2014. We believe all signs are pointing to a global recovery with positive consumer confidence in most regions, the US PMI at 56 and good numbers reported by China. We believe that as long as Federal Reserve Banks stick to accommodative policies economic fundamentals will be supported.

The performance of the Fund was characterized by solid gains interrupted by two set-backs in February 2014 and in October 2014. While the first set-back was particularly related to Emerging Markets, the October correction portended market fears of Federal Reserve Bank tightening. Bond and equity classes were both hit hard during the month of October, but rallied to end in positive territory. Local currencies which had performed very well in the first two quarters were down, but have regained ground since.

During the reporting period, the main contributors to performance were blue chip equities, European periphery bonds and infrastructure debt. Overall, the oil and materials sectors have detracted from the Fund’s performance. At the close of the reporting period, the Fund held approximately 51% of the portfolio in fixed income securities, 40% in equities and the remaining holdings in cash.

We initiated exposure to the German real estate market which has already begun to contribute positively to performance.

We believe that the Fund remains on track to reach its target of LIBOR + 4% annual return over a full economic cycle. In discussions on recent market and geopolitical events, we have a consensus of opinion that we are not heading for deflation, neither in Europe nor in emerging markets, but rather are in a soft patch with intact upward growth. In effect, we appear to be in another mini-cycle and expect the robust figures from the US, in particular the labor market and PMI figures, to give momentum to the global upward growth we perceive. EMU policy-makers are more worried than necessary given the current situation. We expect monetary policy and a weak euro to be helpful in sustaining the Euro recovery.

Despite the exceptionally good run of government bonds in the US and in Europe we remain suspicious of duration. In the light of continuously improving economic data, financial markets, at some point in time, will try to pro-actively be ahead of Federal Reserve Banks. This is likely to hit high-quality high-duration bonds in particular.

AllianzGI Global Managed Volatility Fund

For the period from December 1, 2013 to November 30, 2014, as provided by Steve Tael, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”) returned 10.88%, outperforming the MSCI World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.91%.

Portfolio Review

Market Environment

During the reporting period, the benchmark index was broadly higher advancing in nine out of twelve months. Investors initially focused on improving global growth projections and a benign inflation environment, which led to a string of five positive months from February to June. However, volatility increased with market declines in July and September amid concerns of slowing economic growth and potential for an upcoming US monetary tightening cycle. In addition, energy prices and US dollar strength led to a divergence among countries and sectors.

From a regional standpoint, European stocks were only modestly higher for the period, as positive performance in Switzerland, Belgium and Denmark was offset by double-digit declines in Portugal, Austria and Norway. Larger benchmark weights, including Germany and France, were lower on concerns of slowing export demand. Developed market Asian equities declined slightly as concerns of slowing GDP growth, and the impact from a sales tax increase hurt consumption in Japan which trumped positive performance in Singapore and Hong Kong. The United States, which represents greater than 50% of the benchmark index, was higher on the back of improving employment figures, low inflation and currency strength, as the dollar rallied meaningfully during the second half of the reporting period.

Sector performance was mixed during the annual reporting period. Information technology, health care, utilities and consumer staples each posted double-digit returns, while energy and materials stocks were lower on the back of the strength in the US dollar and declining oil and commodity prices.

Performance Driven by Allocation and Stock Selection

The managed volatility investment process takes advantage of the fact that stocks can have complementary risk characteristics and creates a portfolio with lower expected risk than the benchmark index. The investment team’s expectation is that this lower risk focus will result in outperformance for clients over time due in part to the impact of wealth preservation during more volatile market environments. From a risk standpoint, the Fund achieved its desired lower risk objective, with approximately three-quarters of the risk compared to the benchmark index.

From a country standpoint, selections in Canada and France contributed to performance, as did an underweight to Japan where risk had been increasing throughout the reporting period. Meanwhile, our allocations to China and Norway offset results modestly. Results were more divergent from a sector standpoint, with a relative overweight to the lower risk Utilities sector contributing positively to results. In addition, selections within industrials, financials and energy sectors also added to results during the annual reporting period. Conversely, a relative underweight to higher risk information technology stocks offset results as the sector was the top benchmark performer. Selections within materials and consumer discretionary also detracted modestly.

Our investment team anticipates that the current low volatility environment may potentially ratchet higher due to unforeseen macroeconomic shocks globally, particularly should the period of loose monetary supply come to an end. We suggest our approach of constructing a portfolio with lower forecast risk than the benchmark index, and potential for similar or better returns over time, will prove advantageous for clients.

AllianzGI Global Water Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Andreas Fruschki, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Water Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.57%, underperforming the S&P Global Water Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.39%.

Portfolio Review

Markets

While the S&P Global Water Index’s absolute performance was positive over the period, the relative performance of the Fund lagged the benchmark index due to an overweight in water industrials.

The best performing stocks in 2014 within the water universe were water utilities, particularly in the UK, US and France. With interest rates at low levels globally and a stable growth outlook based on the infrastructure upgrades necessary, water utilities offered a compelling investment case last year.

On the other hand, both industrial growth and global GDP growth remained low, which especially hurt capital expenditures needed for capacity additions or new greenfield projects. As water technology equipment is also needed in new manufacturing or exploration sites, growth for water industrial technology did not reach expectations.

Industrials selling water technology equipment to customers operating in power generation, oil & gas exploration or the mining sector experienced a decline in their order intake relative to previous years. An improving order intake from municipalities, which after years of deferring water infrastructure upgrades have started to invest again, was only partially able to offset the decline.

Ebara, Sulzer, Spectris, Rotork and Franklin Electric, all leaders in their respective niches, were among the worst-performing stocks.

Positive contributions came from our holdings in US water utilities, such as Aqua America, and Hong Kong’s water utility Guangdong Investment.

Outlook

We expect investments in water infrastructure to continue to accelerate as municipalities stop postponing investments needed to address the further deterioration of the existing networks in the US and Europe. Core holdings of the Fund remain the leading water pump companies and companies with differentiated products needed for water infrastructure operations.

AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Doug Forsyth, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.39%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.61%.

Portfolio Review

While credit risk continued to be minimal, external factors exerted the largest influence on the market’s direction during the reporting period. These factors included Treasury rates, technical supply/demand in the market, geopolitical uncertainty and economic data points. Other factors included the Fed outlook and the sell-off in crude oil.

The high-yield market was influenced by treasury yields. After the 10-year Treasury yield fell from 3.03% at the beginning of the year to 2.72% in the first quarter, rates fell yet again to 2.53% in the second quarter. High-yield bonds have a low correlation with treasury bonds on a historical basis. However, as discussed in previous commentaries, BB rated issuers are far more correlated with treasuries today compared with previous cycles. This combination of higher correlation and the interest-rate decline had a positive influence on high-yield prices in the first half of 2014.

During the third quarter, many market observers were partially correct in assessing the supply/demand flow activity as a major driver of the direction of high-yield bond prices. However, the outflow activity had a far greater impact on pricing. There were a variety of data points in mutual fund flows, ETFs and institutional rebalancing cited as pushing prices lower.

In terms of the geopolitical landscape, recent headlines continued to add uncertainty for risk assets in the market. The added day-to-day volatility did not help the equity market or high-yield bond pricing.

Another factor that influenced high-yield markets during the period was the ongoing trend in economic statistics. Both current and expected statistics generally pointed to a US economy that is slowly grinding higher. While some of the data later in the third quarter were more mixed, the majority were positive. These trends helped confirm the prospects for the continued low default rate for high-yield bonds.

Global central banks continued to be generally accommodative, and the US Fed governors’ comments maintained a dovish stance. However, unlike the investor interpretation in the first half of the year, sentiment in late July and early August shifted to a view that the Fed would begin to tighten more quickly than previously expected. The immediate result, albeit a potentially perverse reaction, was that risk assets immediately sold off. However, we believe the reality is that the Fed will tighten only in response to a more robust economy, and therefore the outlook is for more constructive corporate profits and low defaults.

Finally, the high-yield market, which has an approximate weight of 15% in energy-related issuers, was impacted by a sharp sell-off in crude oil that accelerated into the end of the reporting period.

Performance

The Fund’s performance lagged the benchmark index return. There are indicators that show the portfolio did not benefit from its relative positioning in the reporting period. The BB rated issuers benefited from the Treasury market’s performance in the first half of the year, and the portfolio’s underweight to these issuers was a drag on relative performance in 2014. The BB rated group was still the top-performing category in the second half of the year despite its relatively unattractive yields. As a flight-to-quality trade developed, these issues were spared the markdown seen in the B and CCC rated categories. Although the portfolio’s underweight in CCC rated issues did help, it was not enough to offset the broad market sell-off.

Industry allocations that helped relative performance during the period included technology, metals/mining ex steel and printing/publishing. Technology was aided by an overweight and stronger issue-specific performance. An underweight in metals/mining ex steel and an overweight in the printing/publishing industry were beneficial.

Industry allocations that hurt relative performance during the period included energy, automotive & auto parts and banking. The portfolio’s underperformance in energy hindered relative returns although an underweight helped to minimize the impact. The automotive & auto parts industry exhibited weaker-than-benchmark index performance. Minimal exposure to the banking industry, which closed higher, detracted from relative performance.

AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Andrew Neville, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -5.84% lagging the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -2.36%.

International smaller companies came under pressure during the second half of the reporting period. While Japanese smaller cap companies only registered slight losses over the course of the reporting period, smaller companies from Europe and the Asia ex Japan region fared worse.

During the early part of the reporting period, markets experienced a setback mainly on the back of unfavorable news from the emerging markets. Emerging market assets lost across the board as leading indicators came in weaker and monetary policy failed to stabilize the currencies of several emerging markets which suffered from political unrest. Later on, concerns about the impact of the Crimean crisis dampened investor sentiment temporarily. However, markets turned back into positive territory as sentiment benefited from the fact that US monetary policy looks set to remain loose for a longer time to come. Investors increasingly believed that US growth would pick up and that the Chinese government would support the country’s economy. In the Euro area, sentiment brightened further. Investors assumed that the European Central Bank would launch new stimulus measures soon. The outcome of the European elections and the elections in Ukraine brought relief at the political level. China’s Purchasing Managers’ Index for April indicated a continued slow and soft recovery for China’s economy. In Japan, the core CPI hit a 23-year high, as the increase in Japan’s national sales tax boosted prices across the board. Going into the third quarter, mixed economic data and rising geopolitical risks led to profit taking. Besides tensions in the Middle East, the EU and the US both announced new sanctions against Russia, targeting the sectors of energy, banking and defence. In Japan, the cabinet approved Prime Minister Shinzo’s revamped “third arrow” of structural reforms, the centerpiece being a corporate tax rate. Later on, disappointing Chinese economic data, first air strikes in Syria, intensified sanctions on Russia and weak Eurozone economic data weighed on equity markets. Strong US economic data, the more expansionary ECB policy, the weakening euro, the Scottish ‘No’ vote and brisk IPO and M&A activity acted as a counterweight. Global equity markets then suffered a turbulent October as euro-zone recession fears, the imminent end of the Fed’s quantitative easing and the first diagnosis of Ebola in the US triggered a sharp correction of equity markets in the first half of the month. However, robust US economic data, a strong start to the US earnings season and the surprising expansion of quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan resulted in a powerful recovery subsequently.

Stock selection was the main driver of the Fund’s relative performance. Geographically, stock selection detracted within all three sleeve portfolios, Europe, Japan and Asia ex Japan. Sector-wise, selection detracted most within information technology, financials and consumer discretionary. Sector structure resulted in a slight positive contribution due to the underweight in energy and materials and an overweight position in information technology.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in information technology, consumer discretionary and health care while the largest underweights were in financials followed by materials and energy. Geographically the largest overweights were in China, Sweden and Denmark while the largest underweights were in Canada, Australia and the UK.

The strongest stock contributors to performance were the positions in Hikma Pharmaceuticals (UK), Japan Airport Terminal and Yamaha Motor (both Japan) while the positions in Gameloft (France), Yoox (Italy) and Takata Corporation (Japan) were the largest detractors. Hikma is a multinational generic company that focuses on the development, manufacturing, and marketing of branded and non-branded generics with a leading presence in the MENA region, Europe and the US. The stock was supported by results, which surprised positively and confirmed that the strong growth in the MENA region continues. Gameloft is a global publisher of digital and social games for all platforms including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and mobile phones serving a global market. Due to a delay of introducing new games the stock price suffered. Yoox, which designs and operates Internet trading platforms for fashion and designer products, saw profit taking after disappointing results.

AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -1.11%, underperforming the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.40%.

Portfolio Review

In general, US stocks closed higher despite episodes of equity market volatility throughout the reporting period.

In December 2013, the Fed announced plans to reduce asset purchases beginning in January 2014, but reinforced expectations for continued accommodative central bank policies. These remarks were construed as bullish and provided a boost to equities. Subsequent to major US indices reaching new all-time highs, a correction ensued. Global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions were sources of concern. However, depressed investor sentiment coincided with a near-term stock market bottom and a sharp rally in US equities that lasted through March. During this period, US corporations reported healthy fourth-quarter results.

In the second quarter, strength in large cap, broad-based indices masked pockets of weakness and investor rotation. Select Information Technology and Health Care shares, in particular biotechnology, underperformed as well as high-valuation and momentum-oriented companies. Furthermore, investors rotated out of small cap and growth stocks and into large cap and value-oriented equities. In the latter half of the second quarter, all of these trends largely reversed. Outside of stocks, the 10-year US Treasury yield continued to languish near recent lows, confounding investors in light of improving economic data, equity market strength and steady Fed tapering. Lastly, Iraq- and Ukraine-related headlines garnered attention.

Large caps gained modestly in the months that followed, while selling pressure was more concentrated in smaller companies as speculation around Fed commentary and geopolitical concerns prompted investors to reduce exposure to risk assets. Equities found support in August and rallied into mid-September. Healthy second-quarter earnings, elevated M&A activity and a robust IPO market were sources of strength. A reassuring Fed and stronger-than-expected economic reports were supportive also.

As the end of the reporting period neared, the S&P 500 Index fell nearly 10% on global growth concerns. However, the stock market correction was short-lived. The aforementioned index rebounded sharply in the weeks that followed and recorded a fresh all-time high in November. Slowing global economic momentum and benign inflation readings led to further accommodation by the BoJ, hints of aggressive action by President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, and a surprise rate cut by the PBoC. These policies bolstered US equities as well as US Treasuries and the US dollar. A robust final third-quarter GDP report was met with more moderate economic data and corporate profits were generally better than expected. Lastly, the price of crude oil tumbled on fears supply would continue to outstrip demand, with OPEC deciding against production cuts.

Against this backdrop, the Russell Microcap Index returned 0.79% and underperformed the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 3.99%. Within the microcap universe, growth-oriented stocks outpaced value-oriented stocks.

Specific to the Russell Microcap Growth Index, sector performance was mixed. Health care and telecommunications were the strongest-performing sectors, followed by Financial and Utilities. In contrast, the Energy sector declined the most, followed by materials, consumer staples and information technology.

Performance

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, security selection and asset allocation both negatively influenced relative performance, asset allocation to a lesser degree. For example, stock picking in the energy, information technology and industrials sectors detracted and negatively influenced relative performance. Conversely, security selection in consumer discretionary, materials and consumer staples had a positive impact on relative returns. Separately, an underweight in health care and an overweight in Industrials hindered performance. However, an underweight in materials was partially offsetting.

AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Michael Stamos, CFA, Ph.D., Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.81%, underperforming the Barclays US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 3.90%.

Portfolio Review

Returns on assets deemed highly correlated to inflation had mixed results during the reporting period with global real estate securities and TIPS gaining ground while commodities and real estate posted negative returns. The Fund’s diversification into asset classes outside of TIPS for inflation protection had a mixed effect on the Fund’s relative performance, as exposure to commodities and global resource equities negatively impacted relative performance when these asset classes came under selling pressure from a sharp decline in oil prices. Exposure to global real estate contributed positively to relative performance as this asset class gained ground and outperformed the US TIPS market.

The two underperforming asset classes, commodities and global resource equities, were negatively impacted by the supply/demand dynamics of the oil market, which has experienced a roughly 30% decline over the past year. The Dow Jones UBS Commodity Index, which measures a broad basket of commodities, fell -9.04% during the reporting period and the MSCI World/Energy Index declined -8.03%. The portfolio has reduced exposure to these two asset classes throughout the past year, based on an assessment of the portfolio management team’s proprietary market cycle analysis readings from a combined 57% allocation in November 2013 to a 36% weighting by November 2014. However, continued exposure, albeit reduced, weighed on the Fund’s relative performance. The portfolio had increased exposure to global real estate throughout the reporting period, which contributed positively to relative performance as the MSCI World/Real Estate Index gained 15.19%, outperforming the 3.9% return on the benchmark index. Inflation remained relatively subdued throughout the past year, with the October CPI reading showing a 1.7% rise in prices over the past year. This remains below the Fed’s stated 2% inflation goal but was strong enough to draw demand for TIPS for future inflation protection as the Barclays US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index gained 3.9%.

The Fund maintains a diversified portfolio allocation to all four asset classes, with a 28% allocation to global real estate, an 18% stake in commodities, a 17% weighting to global resource equities and 14% in TIPS. The Fund has the flexibility to invest in opportunistic asset classes when the portfolio management team believes an investment is warranted, which currently accounts for a 12% allocation (mixed among emerging market bonds, US equities and US investment grade corporate bonds).

We expect the Fed to begin raising interest rates next year. The transition to a rate-hike cycle may coincide with increased volatility as markets recalibrate from monetary support toward corporate and economic fundamentals. While the Fed is shifting towards tightening, policy makers are starting from a point of extreme accommodation: At 0.00-0.25% today’s Fed Funds target range compares to an average level of 5.63% since 1971. It will likely be some time before monetary conditions approximate “normal.” Although substantial gains have been made during the post-crisis recovery, the current environment should continue to offer a positive backdrop for growth-related asset classes, not only in relative terms compared with high-quality government bonds, but also in absolute terms. In a world with diverging economic growth paths, we think that more differentiation among and within asset classes will be warranted. Although in the medium term inflation risks seem to be subdued, historically inflation has come suddenly and unexpectedly, therefore the portfolio maintains exposure to inflation-linked asset classes.

AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate, and reviewed by Morley D. Campbell, CFA, Portfolio Manager/Analyst.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.01%, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.06%.

Portfolio Review

International equities were generally weaker than US equities during the reporting period as the S&P 500 Index returned 16.9%—nearly twice that of the MSCI AC World Index, which covers approximately 85% of global investable equities. Within the international equity space, developed stocks were chiefly flat for the period while emerging countries—as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index—returned 1.4%. Geopolitical turmoil still maintained a significant presence, particularly in several of the larger emerging countries. In Brazil, the Ibovespa Equity Index fell almost 20% in US dollar terms in September alone upon the reelection of incumbent President Rousseff, as well as because of lower commodity prices. Both lower oil prices and sanctions placed on Russia as a result of the conflict in Ukraine have hindered the outlook for its economy. A weakening Russian ruble culminated in a 28% loss in US dollar terms in the MICEX Equity Index. Almost all emerging currencies weakened versus the US dollar during the period.

As the quantitative easing program in the US comes to a close, China and Japan have seen fresh shots of monetary stimulus from their central banks. Over the past quarter, the Chinese government injected approximately 500 billion yuan ($81.4 billion) into the country’s top five banks. Lower global interest rates continued to allow companies to access capital on favorable terms.

For the reporting period, six out of the ten economic sectors within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index recorded a positive return. The reporting period exemplified the importance of diversification as the benchmark index’s overall return was marked by high dispersion among sectors. Divergent market performance over the reporting period was tied, in part, to a sizeable drop in oil prices. At the biannual meeting of OPEC nations on November 27, 2014, cartel members voted against production cuts despite a worsening supply glut and weakening demand. The move sent US crude oil to a five-year low of $66/barrel, down 32% year-to-date. Companies in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index energy sector participated in the sell-off, dipping -20%. Health Care bested all sectors by gaining 25% during the period.

Stock Selection Drove the Fund’s Absolute and Relative Outperformance

The Fund’s absolute and relative outperformance versus the benchmark index was due to strong stock selection, though sector and country allocations also contributed to returns during the reporting period.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the materials, consumer staples and financials sectors were the largest contributors to performance. The Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary, utilities and information technology sectors detracted from results.

From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight in the utilities sector and underweight in the energy sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns during the reporting period. Conversely, the Fund’s underweight in information technology and materials had a negative impact on performance.

Selection by country was positive, particularly across China, India and Mexico. Holdings in Thailand, Russia and Indonesia muted Fund performance during the reporting period.

Country allocation contributed to results, largely due to the Fund’s underweight positions in South Korea and overweight in Egypt. This was slightly offset by overweight positions in Norway and Hong Kong.

Sector and country weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the utilities sector and Hong Kong. In contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples sector and South Korea.

AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate, and reviewed by R. Burns McKinney, CFA, Portfolio Manager/Analyst.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.32%, underperforming the MSCI AC World Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.04%.

Portfolio Review

US equities were generally strong during the reporting period as the S&P 500 returned 16.9%—nearly twice that of the MSCI AC World Index, which covers approximately 85% of global investable equities. The US summer rally helped create the separation between the two well recognized benchmarks. In the international equity space, developed stocks were chiefly flat for the period while emerging countries returned 1.4%. After investors yanked billions of dollars out of emerging economies in 2013, some fears have seemingly subsided as the frequency of negative headlines has diminished over the trailing twelve months. In the Eurozone, June marked an attempt by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to counter low inflation with further stimulus measures, including a record low main lending rate of 0.15%. Furthermore, in the third quarter, ECB President Mario Draghi committed to providing a liquidity backstop for Europe’s banking system while Japan avoided a slide into recession and confirmed its monetary policy stance. As the quantitative easing program in the US comes to its twilight, China and Japan have seen fresh shots of monetary stimulus from their central banks. Over the past quarter, the Chinese government injected approximately 500 billion yuan ($81.4 billion) into the country’s top five banks.

For the reporting period, eight out of the ten economic sectors within the MSCI AC World Index recorded a positive return. The benchmark index’s strong absolute return over the reporting period was marked by high dispersion among sector returns. Divergent market performance over the reporting period was tied, in part, to a sizeable drop in oil prices. At the biannual meeting of OPEC nations on November 27, 2014, cartel members voted against production cuts despite a worsening supply glut and weakening demand. The move sent US crude oil to a five-year low of $66/barrel, down 32% year-to-date. Companies in the MSCI AC World Index energy sector participated in the sell-off, dipping -8.9%. Health care bested all sectors by gaining 23.1% during the period.

From a country perspective, returns in North America trumped most of the larger benchmark index constituents as the US and Canada returned 16.8% and 6%, respectively. Two of Europe’s largest countries by GDP—Germany and France—generated negative returns of approximately -3% during the reporting period. Japan delivered a -1.6% return in US dollar terms as hopes that investment activity will offset lackluster consumption have not materialized.

Stock Selection Drove the Fund’s Relative Underperformance

The Fund’s relative performance versus the benchmark index was due to negative stock selection and, to a lesser extent, to country allocation. Sector allocations were neutral.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the information technology, industrials and health care sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. Selection in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials sectors detracted from Fund returns.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight in the consumer discretionary sector and overweight in the information technology sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns during the reporting period. However, this positive impact was offset by the Fund’s overweight position in energy and underweight position in health care, which hampered performance.

Selection by region was marginally negative as positive selection in the United Kingdom and Europe ex UK was overwhelmed by holdings across emerging markets and Japan.

Region allocation detracted from results, largely due to the Fund’s overweight in the emerging markets and underweight in North America. An underweight to Asia/Pacific ex Japan contributed to results over the trailing twelve-month period.

Sector weight deviations are a result of the Fund’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the energy and telecommunications services sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ International Small-Cap Value Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate, and reviewed by L. Baxter Hines, CFA, Portfolio Manager/Analyst.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ International Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.98%, outperforming the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -2.36%.

Portfolio Review

International equities were generally weaker than US equities during the reporting period as the S&P 500 Index returned 16.9%—nearly twice that of the MSCI AC World Index, which covers approximately 85% of global investable equities. International small caps, as measured by the benchmark index, retreated below levels achieved during the fantastic run last year during the same period. Within the international equity space, developed stocks—as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index—were chiefly flat for the period while emerging countries returned 1.4%. After investors yanked billions of dollars out of emerging economies in 2013, some fears have seemingly subsided as the frequency of negative headlines has diminished over the trailing twelve months. In the Eurozone, June marked an attempt by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to counter low inflation with further stimulus measures, including a record low main lending rate of 0.15%. Furthermore, in the third quarter, ECB President Mario Draghi committed to providing a liquidity backstop for Europe’s banking system while Japan avoided a slide into recession and confirmed its monetary policy stance. As the quantitative easing program in the US comes to its twilight, China and Japan have seen fresh shots of monetary stimulus from their central banks. Over the past quarter, the Chinese government injected approximately 500 billion yuan ($81.4 billion) into the country’s top five banks.

For the reporting period, six out of the ten economic sectors within the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index recorded a positive return. The benchmark index’s negative overall return during the reporting period was marked by high dispersion among sector returns. Divergent market performance over the reporting period was tied, in part, to a sizeable drop in oil prices. At the biannual meeting of OPEC nations on November 27, 2014, cartel members voted against production cuts despite a worsening supply glut and weakening demand. The move sent US crude oil to a five-year low of $66/barrel, down 32% year-to-date. Companies in the MSCI World ex-US Small Cap Index energy sector participated in the sell-off, dipping -27%. Utilities bested all sectors by gaining 9.7% during the period.

Strong Stock Selection Drove the Fund’s Relative Outperformance Although All Three Segments Including Allocation and Region Were Additive.

The Fund’s notable outperformance versus the benchmark index was largely due to stock selection and, to a lesser extent, to region and sector allocations.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the industrials, information technology and health care sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors detracted to a minor degree.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight in the financial sector and an overweight in the utility sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns during the reporting period. Conversely, an underweight position in the consumer staples sector was the lone detractor from allocation results.

Selection by region was positive, particularly across Europe ex UK and Asia/Pacific ex Japan. However, the Fund’s holdings in North America somewhat muted fund selection during the reporting period.

Region allocation was positive, largely due to the Fund’s overweight in emerging markets and underweight in North America. This was slightly offset by underweight positions in Japan and Europe ex UK, which hindered relative results.

Sector and country weight deviations are a result of the Fund’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the health care sector and emerging region. By contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the materials sector and the Europe ex UK region.

AllianzGI NFJ International Value II Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate, and reviewed by L. Baxter Hines, CFA, Portfolio Manager/Analyst.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ International Value II Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.25%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -0.02%.

Portfolio Review

International equities were generally weaker than US equities during the reporting period as the S&P 500 returned 16.9%—nearly twice that of the MSCI AC World Index, which covers approximately 85% of global investable equities. Within the international equity space, developed stocks—as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index—were chiefly flat for the period while emerging countries returned 1.4%. After investors yanked billions of dollars out of emerging economies in 2013, some fears have seemingly subsided as the frequency of negative headlines has diminished over the trailing twelve months.

Over the past quarter, the Chinese government injected approximately 500 billion yuan ($81.4 billion) into the country’s top five banks.

For the reporting period, five out of the ten economic sectors within the MSCI EAFE Index recorded a positive return. The benchmark index’s flat return over the reporting period was marked by high dispersion among sector returns. Divergent market performance over the period was tied, in part, to a sizeable drop in oil prices. At the biannual meeting of OPEC nations on November 27, 2014, cartel members voted against production cuts despite a worsening supply glut and weakening demand. The move sent US crude oil to a five-year low of $66/barrel, down 32% year-to-date. Companies in the MSCI EAFE Index energy sector participated in the sell-off, dipping -12%. Health care bested all sectors by gaining 13.6% during the period.

Stock Selection Drove the Fund’s Relative Outperformance

The Fund’s absolute returns were positive and outperformed the benchmark index on a relative basis. Stock selection was the primary driver of the outperformance while allocation somewhat muted active relative returns.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary, information technology and industrials sectors were positive and outpaced benchmark index shares. Selection across the energy, utilities and consumer staples sectors detracted from results during the reporting period.

From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight in the energy sector and an underweight in the health care sector were primary performance detractors. This was partially offset by positive results from the Fund’s overweight in the consumer discretionary sector and underweight in the industrials sector over the trailing twelve-month period.

Selection by region was positive, particularly United Kingdom and Japan. However, the Fund’s holdings in Europe ex UK and Asia/Pacific ex Japan hindered relative results.

Region allocation was marginally negative due to the Fund’s overweight positions in emerging markets and underweight positions in Europe ex UK. This was offset by an overweight in North America, which improved relative results.

Sector and country weight deviations are a result of the Fund’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the energy sector and emerging markets region. By contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the industrials sector and Europe ex UK region.

AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Doug Forsyth, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.60%, outperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year BB US Cash Pay High Yield Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 2.44%.

Portfolio Review

While credit risk continued to be minimal, external factors exerted the largest influence on the market’s direction during the reporting period. These factors included Treasury rates, technical supply/demand in the market, geopolitical uncertainty and economic data points. Other factors included the Fed outlook and the sell-off in crude oil.

The high yield market was influenced by Treasury yields. After the 10-year Treasury yield fell from 3.03% at the beginning of the year to 2.72% in the first quarter, rates fell yet again to 2.53% in the second quarter. High yield bonds have a low correlation with Treasury bonds on a historical basis. However, as discussed in previous commentaries, BB-rated issuers are far more correlated with Treasuries today compared with previous cycles. This combination of higher correlation and the interest-rate decline had a positive influence on high yield prices in the first half of 2014.

During the third quarter, many market observers were partially correct in assessing the supply/demand flow activity as a major driver of the direction of high yield bond prices. However, the outflow activity had a far greater impact on pricing. There were a variety of data points in mutual fund flows, ETFs and institutional rebalancing cited as pushing prices lower.

In terms of the geopolitical landscape, recent headlines continued to add uncertainty for risk assets in the market. The added day-to-day volatility did not help the equity market or high yield bond pricing.

Another factor that influenced high yield markets during the period was the ongoing trend in economic statistics. Both current and expected statistics generally pointed to a US economy that is slowly grinding higher. While some of the data later in the third quarter were more mixed, the majority were positive. These trends helped confirm the prospects for the continued low default rate for high yield bonds.

Global central banks continued to be generally accommodative, and the US Fed governors’ comments maintained a dovish stance. However, unlike the investor interpretation in the first half of the year, sentiment in late July and early August shifted to a view that the Fed would begin to tighten more quickly than previously expected. The immediate result, albeit a potentially perverse reaction, was that risk assets immediately sold off. However, we believe the reality is that the Fed will tighten only in response to a more robust economy, and therefore the outlook is for more constructive corporate profits and low defaults.

Finally, the high yield market, which has an approximate weight of 15% in energy-related issuers, was impacted by a sharp sell-off in crude oil that accelerated into the end of the reporting period. Specific to the Fund, new high yield issuance and market prices over the year provided select opportunities to add attractive risk-adjusted issues from a number of industries to the portfolio.

Performance

The Fund gained with the market in the reporting period. The period included several positive single-name performers from a variety of industries. The majority of the Fund’s issuers met or exceeded earnings expectations, which helped contribute to absolute performance. Credit quality in the Fund remained relatively high. Building materials, cable & satellite TV and healthcare industries contributed to performance. In contrast, gaming, metals/mining and hotels were industries that detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

For the reporting period, the Fund had bonds both tendered at a premium and securities called with proceeds used to provide cash liquidity to the Fund, or to reinvest in the market at attractive risk-adjusted expected returns. Bank loan weightings were reduced in favor of bonds.

AllianzGI Structured Return Fund (formerly AllianzGI Structured Alpha Fund)

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Greg Tournant, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Structured Return Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.46%, outperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 0.05%.

Portfolio Review

As equity markets continued their climb amid increasing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, the Fund was able to deliver consistent, positive performance for the one-year period ended November 30, 2014.

Early in the year, market conditions were challenging as fears of emerging-markets weakness led to an equity pullback that then sharply reversed itself. While the magnitude of the market’s moves was quite typical, the speed of the rebound made it difficult for the portfolio to fully capitalize on opportunities to generate stronger returns. Elevated option prices normally enable us to build safer and more lucrative positions as they rotate over several months. With the implied volatility round-tripping over just a two-week period from late January to early February, there was not enough time for the benefit to take hold. Still, our premium collection positions delivered steady gains, with minimal portfolio restructuring necessary. The Fund returned 0.20% for the quarter.

The Fund was able to generate stronger gains in the second quarter, despite rising markets and low volatility—which are terrific for equity investors, but for option investors can be challenging. The S&P 500 Index appreciated for the sixth consecutive quarter, returning 5.2%. Implied volatility declined to levels not observed since 2007. The Fund is designed to benefit from higher levels of market volatility, yet, importantly, still be able to perform when volatility is low. In keeping with the latter, the Fund gained 1.71% for the quarter. Even as increasing uncertainty crept into equity and fixed income markets at the end of the third quarter, the Fund continued to deliver positive performance. Despite several equity-market fluctuations, we were able to hold all our option positions to expiration with no restructuring, as is the objective. In July, the S&P 500 Index declined 1.38%, its first monthly decline since January. The portfolio was well positioned to endure this equity market move and posted only a modest decline. In August, as favorable economic data drove investor optimism, the S&P 500 Index climbed 4%. The Fund was also positive, up 1.17% as the expiration of option positions that had been marked down in July enabled the portfolio to recoup their realized gains. In September, the S&P 500 Index fell 1.4%. The Fund declined just 0.13% for the month.

As equity markets continued to post gains in October and November, the Fund’s A share delivered positive performance, bringing its calendar year-to-date performance to 3.50%.

As a reminder, the Structured Return Fund underwent a strategy and name change in July 2014. The Fund is now a more streamlined implementation of our previous portfolio, with the same investment team pursuing the same risk-return profile but with fewer option positions.

AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -1.98%, underperforming the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.40%.

Portfolio Review

In general, US stocks closed higher despite episodes of equity market volatility throughout the reporting period.

In December 2013, the Fed announced plans to reduce asset purchases beginning in January 2014, but reinforced expectations for continued accommodative central bank policies. These remarks were construed as bullish and provided a boost to equities. Subsequent to major US indices reaching new all-time highs, a correction ensued. Global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions were sources of concern. However, depressed investor sentiment coincided with a near-term stock market bottom and a sharp rally in US equities that lasted through March. During this period, US corporations reported healthy fourth-quarter results.

In the second quarter, strength in large cap, broad-based indices masked pockets of weakness and investor rotation. Select Information technology and health care shares, in particular biotechnology, underperformed as well as high-valuation and momentum-oriented companies. Furthermore, investors rotated out of small cap and growth stocks and into large cap and value-oriented equities. In the latter half of the second quarter, all of these trends largely reversed. Outside of stocks, the 10-year US Treasury yield continued to languish near recent lows, confounding investors in light of improving economic data, equity market strength and steady Fed tapering. Lastly, Iraq- and Ukraine-related headlines garnered attention.

Large caps gained modestly in the months that followed, while selling pressure was more concentrated in smaller companies as speculation around Fed commentary and geopolitical concerns prompted investors to reduce exposure to risk assets. Equities found support in August and rallied into mid-September. Healthy second-quarter earnings, elevated M&A activity and a robust IPO market were sources of strength. A reassuring Fed and stronger-than-expected economic reports were supportive also.

As the end of the reporting period neared, the S&P 500 Index fell nearly 10% on global growth concerns. However, the stock market correction was short-lived. The aforementioned index rebounded sharply in the weeks that followed and recorded a fresh all-time high in November. Slowing global economic momentum and benign inflation readings led to further accommodation by the BoJ, hints of aggressive action by European Central Bank President, Mario Draghi, and a surprise rate cut by the PBoC. These policies bolstered US equities as well as US Treasuries and the US dollar. A robust final third-quarter GDP report was met with more moderate economic data and corporate profits were generally better than expected. Lastly, the price of crude oil tumbled on fears supply would continue to outstrip demand, with OPEC deciding against production cuts.

Against this backdrop, the Russell Microcap Index returned 0.79% and underperformed the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 3.99%. Within the microcap universe, growth-oriented stocks outpaced value-oriented stocks.

Specific to the Russell Microcap Growth Index, sector performance was mixed. Health care and telecommunications were the strongest-performing sectors followed by financial and utilities. In contrast, the energy sector declined the most, followed by materials, consumer staples and information technology.

Performance

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, security selection and asset allocation both negatively influenced relative performance, asset allocation to a lesser degree. For example, stock picking in the energy, information technology and health care sectors detracted and negatively influenced relative performance. Conversely, security selection in consumer discretionary, materials and consumer staples had a positive impact on relative returns. Separately, an underweight in health care and an overweight in industrials hindered performance. However, an underweight in materials was partially offsetting.

AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged Fund

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by Robert Marren, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged Fund (the “Fund”) returned 9.63%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 16.86%.

Portfolio Review

The Fund appreciated for the one-year period ended November 30, 2014, smoothing out the volatility of the broad equity market but lagging on a relative basis.

As a reminder, the Fund seeks to provide protection against downside equity-market moves while asymmetrically preserving the upside potential of the underlying equity portfolio. This strategy seeks its objective by buying laddered, long-duration index put options at, and selling short-duration index calls at, varying strike distances. By resetting our call strikes every few weeks, we aim to stay out of the way of a rising equity market.

Compared with equities, the Fund held up better during January’s 3.46% S&P 500 Index decline, but could not keep pace due to the rate of ascent of February’s 4.57% index rebound. Given the low volatility environment in the first quarter, our near-term short call positions had generally been written around 3% to 4% out-of-the-money. So while our option positions added value in January, our short call strikes were unable to avoid truncating the benchmark index’s rapid February run-up.

US equity markets climbed to all-time highs in the second quarter, with the S&P 500 Index posting its sixth consecutive quarter of gains. The Fund performed in line with expectations, largely keeping pace with the S&P 500 Index despite the market’s continued rally.

Following a brief pullback in early April, the S&P 500 Index climbed 4.5% in May and June, driven by strength in energy and utility shares. However, the market’s advance was gradual enough for us to meaningfully capture the equity appreciation. Equally important, the portfolio was hedged at all times for a market correction or crash.

With equity markets mixed in the third quarter, the Fund performed in line with expectations. In July, the S&P 500 Index returned -1.38%, its first negative month since the start of the year. In August, the S&P 500 Index went on to gain 4.00%, then decline 1.40% in September. The portfolio’s long put positions cushioned the market declines in July and September, but the Fund was unable to keep pace with August’s equity market ascent. In October and November, the Fund largely kept pace with the gradual rising equity market. Year-to-date, the Fund is up 7.31%.

AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund (formerly AllianzGl U.S. Emerging Growth Fund)

For the period of December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended November 30, 2014, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.31%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.66%.

Portfolio Review

In general, US stocks closed higher despite episodes of equity market volatility throughout the reporting period.

In December 2013, the Fed announced plans to reduce asset purchases beginning in January 2014, but reinforced expectations for continued accommodative central bank policies. These remarks were construed as bullish and provided a boost to equities. Subsequent to major US indices reaching new all-time highs, a correction ensued. Global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions were sources of concern. However, depressed investor sentiment coincided with a near-term stock market bottom and a sharp rally in US equities that lasted through March. During this period, US corporations reported healthy fourth-quarter results.

In the second quarter, strength in large cap, broad-based indices masked pockets of weakness and investor rotation. Select Information Technology and Health Care shares, in particular biotechnology, underperformed as well as high-valuation and momentum-oriented companies. Furthermore, investors rotated out of small cap and growth stocks and into large cap and value-oriented equities. In the latter half of the second quarter, all of these trends largely reversed. Outside of stocks, the 10-year US Treasury yield continued to languish near recent lows, confounding investors in light of improving economic data, equity market strength and steady Fed tapering. Lastly, Iraq- and Ukraine-related headlines garnered attention.

Large caps gained modestly in the months that followed, while selling pressure was more concentrated in smaller companies as speculation around Fed commentary and geopolitical concerns prompted investors to reduce exposure to risk assets. Equities found support in August and rallied into mid-September. Healthy second-quarter earnings, elevated M&A activity and a robust IPO market were sources of strength. A reassuring Fed and stronger-than-expected economic reports were supportive also.

As the end of the reporting period neared, the S&P 500 Index fell nearly 10% on global growth concerns. However, the stock market correction was short-lived. The aforementioned index rebounded sharply in the weeks that followed and recorded a fresh all-time high in November. Slowing global economic momentum and benign inflation readings led to further accommodation by the BoJ, hints of aggressive action by Mario Draghi and a surprise rate cut by the PBoC. These policies bolstered US equities as well as US Treasuries and the US dollar. A robust final third-quarter GDP report was met with more moderate economic data and corporate profits were generally better than expected. Lastly, the price of crude oil tumbled on fears supply would continue to outstrip demand, with OPEC deciding against production cuts.

Against this backdrop, the Russell 2000 Index returned 3.99% and underperformed the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 16.56%. Within the small cap universe, growth-oriented stocks outperformed value-oriented stocks.

Specific to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, sector performance was mixed. Health Care and consumer staples were the strongest-performing sectors, followed by information technology and financials. In contrast, the energy sector declined the most, followed by utilities, materials and consumer discretionary.

Performance

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, security selection and asset allocation both negatively influenced relative performance, security selection to a lesser degree. In particular, stock picking in the industrials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors had a positive impact on relative returns. Conversely, security selection within the information technology, financials, energy and consumer staples sectors detracted and negatively influenced relative performance. Separately, an underweight in health care and consumer staples and an overweight in Industrials hindered performance.

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 classes for AllianzGI Global Water Fund are A, C, D and P, and the Institutional Class shares were first offered in 7/08. The AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund reorganized on May 4, 2009 when its predecessor merged into the Trust. The Global 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): AllianzGI Convertible Fund (4/93), AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund (7/96), AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund (12/97), AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund (10/93), AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund (7/95), AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund (1/08). For each of the reorganized funds, Institutional Class is the oldest share class, except that for AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund, the oldest share class of the predecessor fund merged into Class P.

The Target-Date Funds are designed to offer individual investors comprehensive asset allocation strategies tailored to the approximate date when they expect to begin withdrawing assets. The target date included in the Fund’s name does not necessarily represent the specific year an investor will begin withdrawing assets. It is intended only as a general guide. Each Fund follows a target asset allocation schedule that changes over time to help reduce portfolio risk, increasing its exposure to conservative investments as the target date approaches. The principal value of a Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. A Fund’s shareholders may experiences losses, including losses near, at or after the target year indicated in the Fund’s name.

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. Class R6 shares are offered primarily for 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, healthcare benefit funding plans and other specified benefit plans and accounts whereby the plan or the plan’s broker, dealer or other financial Intermediary has an agreement with the Distributor or the Investment Manager to utilize Class R6 shares In certain Investment products or programs.

Class B shares of Allianz Multi-Strategy Funds are not available for purchase, except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments for any Funds with Class B shares outstanding (currently only AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund).

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 Funds’ Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers have adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (the “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: A, B, C & R) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class P, R6, D, Institutional & Administrative classes), on the Allianz Global Investors Distributors website at us.allianzgi.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov.

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 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, 2014.

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 = 8.6), 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.

Shareholders may be subject to an annual fee of $15 for any accounts, including fiduciary accounts, with balances that fall below $1,000. This fee is not included in the shareholder expense example. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and when comparing the expenses of these Funds with other funds.

Credit Ratings

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of a Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined for purposes of presentations in this report by using ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Presentations of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by Moody’s for this purpose, among other reasons, because of the access to background information and other materials provided by Moody’s, as well as the Funds’ considerations of industry practice. Bonds not rated by Moody’s or bonds that do not have a rating available from Moody’s are designated as “NR” and “NA”, respectively. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change periodically, even as frequently as daily. Ratings assigned by Moody’s or another rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings, and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In formulating investment decisions for the applicable Funds, Allianz Global Investors US LLC, the sub-adviser to the applicable Funds, develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agencies or third-party research.

All the information on the Fund Summary pages, including Fund Insights, Average Annual Total/Cumulative Return Tables, Cumulative Return Charts, Shareholder Expense Examples and Allocation/Credit Rating Summaries, is unaudited.

Schedule of Investments

November 30, 2014

 

 

 

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a) Private Placement—Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $296,864,472, representing 38.9% of net assets.

(b) These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the “LIBOR” or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on November 30, 2014.

(c) 144A—Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.

(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the year.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the year and a sale of a share on the last day of each year 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 fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP.
(c) Does not include expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests.

(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the year.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the year and a sale of a share on the last day of each year 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 fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP.
(c) Does not include expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests.
(d) See Note 6 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
(e) Less than 0.01%.

(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 fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
(c) Annualized.
(d) Payments from Affiliates increased net asset value and total return by less than $0.01 and 0.01%, respectively.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust (the “Trust”) was organized on January 10, 2008, as an open-end registered investment management company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. As of November 30, 2014, the Trust consisted of thirty-three separate investment series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM” or the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Funds’ investment manager and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”) and NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”), each an affiliate of the Investment Manager, and Fuller & Thaler Asset Management, Inc. (“Fuller & Thaler”) (collectively the “Sub-Advisers”) serve as the Funds’ sub-advisers. The Investment Manager, AllianzGI U.S. and NFJ are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM”). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Currently, the Trust may offer up to eight classes of shares: A, C, D, R, P, Institutional, R6 and Administrative. As of November 1, 2009, Class B shares were no longer available for purchase, except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments.

The following Funds (except for AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt and AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy) sold and issued shares of beneficial interest to AAM during the years ended November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013. AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt and AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy sold and issued shares of beneficial interest to Allianz Fund Investments, Inc.

The investment objective of AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged is to seek capital appreciation, with added emphasis on the protection of capital during unfavorable market conditions. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s 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.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that expands secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales, in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statements.

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 official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices 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 (“NAV”) of each underlying fund as reported on each business day. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. The market value for NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market 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. Exchange traded futures are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available, and has delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers. The Trust’s Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds’ valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. Each Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer or other factors. If a Sub-Adviser determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.

Short-term debt instruments 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 premium or discount based on 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 NAV of each share class of a Fund 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 investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The

NAV of each share class of a Fund 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 financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When fair-valuing the 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 NAV of each share class of a Fund 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 financial statements. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other assets, and fair values used to determine the NAV of each share class of a Fund 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 Measurements.  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:

 

n   Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access
n   Level 2—valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs
n   Level 3—valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers’ or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended November 30, 2014 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. 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 the 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. Investments categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.

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 within Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. 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.

U.S. Treasury Obligations—U.S. Treasury obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Treasury issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Treasury obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Sovereign Debt Obligations—Sovereign debt obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate option adjusted spreads along with benchmark curves and credit spreads. In addition, international bond markets are monitored regularly for information pertaining to the issuer and/or the specific issue. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of sovereign debt obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Corporate Bonds & Notes—Corporate bonds & 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 & notes 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.

Option Contracts—Option contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and FLexible EXchange (“FLEX”) options are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the

extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC and FLEX option contracts 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.

Senior Loans—Senior Loans are valued by independent pricing services based on the average of quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads and credit spreads. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Senior Loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

 

 

A summary of the inputs used at November 30, 2014 in valuing each Fund’s assets and liabilities is listed below (refer to the Schedules of Investments and Notes 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) for more detailed information on Investments in Securities and Other Financial Instruments):

* Other financial instruments are derivatives, such as futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the instrument.
** Commencement of operations.
*** Transferred out of Level 1 into Level 3 for AllianzGI NFJ International Value II and out of Level 2 into Level 3 for AllianzGI China Equity because an exchange-traded closing price was not available at November 30, 2014.
**** Transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2 because the security began trading on an exchange and the value of the security trading outside the U.S. was adjusted by the application of a modeling tool at November 30, 2014.

 

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of Level 3 investments which AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity, AllianzGI China Equity, AllianzGI International Small-Cap, AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value II and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income held at November 30, 2014, was $1,617, $53,372, $197, $(80,858), $(97,063) and $26,514, respectively.

Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. 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. Dividend and interest income on the Statements of Operations are shown net of any foreign taxes withheld on income from foreign securities. Payments received from real estate investment trust securities may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. The payment may initially be recorded as

dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. 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. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received on settlement date are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans and consent fees relating to corporate actions are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt. 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 other 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 based on 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. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP,

November 30, 2014

 

the Investment Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of November 30, 2014, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds’ federal income tax returns for the prior three years, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  The Funds (except AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Global Allocation, AllianzGI Convertible, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI High Yield Bond, AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value, AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value II and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income) declare dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Global Allocation, AllianzGI Convertible, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value, AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value and AllianzGI NFJ International Value II declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AllianzGI High Yield Bond and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income declare 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 from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent 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 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, include administration, administrative servicing, distribution, recoupment, 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 values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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 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) Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds are parties 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 Funds enter into transactions, under the Master Repo Agreements, 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 under the Master Repo Agreements, 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. The gross values are included in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at November 30, 2014.

(i) Equity-Linked Securities.  Certain Funds purchase equity-linked securities, also known as participation notes. Participatory notes are used to gain exposure to issuers in certain countries with a costly or lengthy registration process. They are generally traded over-the-counter and constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them. Generally, banks and broker-dealers associated with non-U.S.-based brokerage firms buy securities listed on certain foreign exchanges and then issue participation notes which are designed to replicate the performance of certain issuers and markets. To the extent that the Funds invest in equity-linked securities whose return corresponds to the performance of a foreign securities index or one or more foreign stocks, investing in equity-linked securities will involve risks similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk that the issuer of an equity-linked security may default on its obligation under the terms of the arrangement with the counterparty.

(j) Warrants.  The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges.

 

 

244   November 30, 2014  |   Annual Report  


Table of Contents

 

Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.

(k) Rights.  The Funds may receive rights. A right is a privilege granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe for shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued. Rights normally have a short life, usually two to four weeks, are freely transferable and entitle the holder to buy the new common stock at a lower price than the public offering price. Rights may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, rights do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the right, the right will expire worthless. Rights may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities.

(l) Senior Loans.  The Funds may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution (the “Agent”) for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential

assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

(m) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises.  Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(n) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions.  When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the NAV. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

(o) Organizational and Offering Costs.  Organizational costs are expensed at the inception of the Fund. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the inception of the Fund.

 

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 risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, credit and leverage 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 values 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. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and the Funds may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. The Funds may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended.

Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Funds hold variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds’ shares.

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 subject 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 or 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 securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) 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, adverse changes to credit markets 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, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by the Funds. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by the Funds will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.

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 Sub-Advisers 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 Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividend and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses.

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 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

AllianzGI Retirement 2015, AllianzGI Retirement 2020, AllianzGI Retirement 2025, AllianzGI Retirement 2030, AllianzGI Retirement 2035, AllianzGI Retirement 2040, AllianzGI Retirement 2045, AllianzGI Retirement 2050, AllianzGI Retirement 2055 and AllianzGI Retirement Income (collectively the “Target Date Funds”) and AllianzGI Global Allocation and AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation invest their assets primarily in series of Allianz Funds, Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust, PIMCO Equity Series, PIMCO Funds and PIMCO sponsored exchange-traded Funds (“ETFs”) (together, “Underlying Funds”). AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy , AllianzGl Emerging Markets Debt, and AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return may invest their assets partially, significantly or primarily in Underlying Funds. The Funds may also invest a portion of their assets in unaffiliated ETFs and mutual funds and pooled vehicles (together, “Other Acquired Funds”). AllianzGI Structured Return and AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged expect to achieve their exposure to equity securities by investing in Other Acquired Funds. Accordingly, the investment performance of the Funds depends upon a favorable allocation among the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds as well as the ability of the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds to achieve their objectives. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Underlying Fund or Other Acquired 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 derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, 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 at times 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.

During the year ended November 30, 2014, each of AllianzGI Retirement 2015, AllianzGI Retirement 2020, AllianzGI Retirement 2025, AllianzGI Retirement 2030, AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy and AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return were subject to regulation as a commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act pursuant to recent rule changes by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). The Investment Manager has registered with the CFTC as a Commodity Pool Operator, AllianzGI U.S. has registered with the CFTC as a Commodity Trading Adviser, and both entities are members of the National Futures Association. As a result, additional CFTC-mandated disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations applied with respect to AllianzGI Retirement 2015, AllianzGI Retirement 2020, AllianzGI Retirement 2025, AllianzGI Retirement 2030, AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy and AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return. Compliance with the CFTC’s regulatory requirements could increase these Funds’ expenses, adversely affecting their total returns. As of November 30, 2014, only AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt and AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy are subject to regulation as a commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act pursuant to recent rule changes by the CFTC.

Option Transactions.  The Funds purchase put and call options on securities and indices for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. The risks associated with purchasing an option include the risk that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premiums and changes in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

The Funds may write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities, if any, are reflected

as options written in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option written is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

Futures Contracts.  The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

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 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 into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. INVESTMENT MANAGER/ADMINISTRATOR/DISTRIBUTOR

Investment Management Fee.  Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board, 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, payable monthly (net of any fee waivers, reimbursements and recoupment), at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Investment Management Fee”).

“Due to Investment Manager” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents the remaining payable for the Funds’ offering costs that were paid by the Investment Manager.

The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Advisers to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisers are responsible for making all of the investment decisions for the Funds for which they serve as sub-adviser. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers in return for their services.

Administration Fee.  The Investment Manager provides administrative services to the Target Date Funds and also bears the cost of most third-party administrative services required by the Target Date Funds, and in return it receives from each share class of each Target Date Fund a monthly administration fee based on each share class’ average daily net assets (the “Administration Fee”).

Distribution and Servicing Fees.  Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of AAM, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers (with the exception of Fuller & Thaler), serves as the distributor of the Funds’ shares pursuant to separate Distribution Servicing Plans for Class A, B, C, D and R. The Distributor, for each of the Funds, receives (i) servicing fees of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each of Class A, B, C, D and R in connection with services rendered to shareholders of each class and the maintenance of shareholder accounts, and (ii) distribution fees of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each of Class B and C (with the exception of Class C for AllianzGI Short Duration High Income which is 0.25%) and 0.25% of average daily net assets of Class R in connection with the distribution of Class B, C and R shares.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plans adopted by the A, B, C, D and R classes, the Funds compensate the Distributor for services provided and expenses incurred in connection with assistance rendered in the sale of shares and services rendered to shareholders and for maintenance of shareholder accounts.

 

Pursuant to the Distribution Plan for the Administrative Class shares, the Funds are permitted to reimburse the Distributor out of the Administrative Class’ assets of each Fund offering Administrative Class shares, in an amount up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average net assets of the Administrative Class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration plans or programs that use fund shares as their funding medium. Unreimbursed costs may be carried forward for reimbursement for up to twelve months beyond the date in which they are incurred, subject always to the limit that no more than 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Class may be expensed.

The Distributor also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, B and C shares. For the year ended November 30, 2014, the Distributor received $406,882, representing commissions (sales charges) and CDSC.

(2) Capital loss carryforwards available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be disbursed.
(3) Certain ordinary losses realized during the period November 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, and/or other ordinary losses realized during the period January 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, which the Funds elected to defer to the following taxable year pursuant to income tax regulations.
(4) Net capital losses realized during the period November 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014 which the Funds elected to defer to the following taxable year pursuant to income tax regulations.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses.

At November 30, 2014, capital loss carryforward amounts were:

These permanent “book-tax” differences were primarily attributable to:
(a) Reclassification of dividends/distributions
(b) Reclassification of gains from securities classified as Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”) for tax purposes
(c) Treatment of bond premium amortization
(d) Net operating losses
(e) Reclassification of non-deductible expenses
(f) Reclassification of gains and losses from foreign currency transactions
(g) Reclassification of short-term capital gain dividends from underlying funds
(h) Reclassifications related to investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
(i) Reclassification of consent fees
(j) Reclassification of gains from sale of contingent debt
(k) Section 305 sales adjustment

Net investment income, net realized gains or losses and net assets were not affected by these adjustments.

Effective January 1, 2015, AllianzGI Global Allocation revised its principal investment strategies, principal risks fees and expenses. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through a combination of active allocation between asset classes and actively managed strategies within those asset classes. The Fund targets a long-term average strategic asset allocation of 60% to global equity exposure and 40% to fixed income exposure. Depending on market conditions, the equity component of the portfolio may range between approximately 50% and 70% of the Fund’s assets and the fixed income component of the portfolio may range between approximately 30% and 50% of the Fund’s assets. The Fund’s principal risks were revised to correspond with the changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies. The acquired fund fees and expenses are 0.45% for each share class of the Fund, which led to a decrease in total annual operating expenses.

The acquired fund fees and expenses are 0.34% for each share class of the Fund, which led to a decrease in total annual operating expenses.

It is expected that on or about February 2, 2015, AllianzGI Global Growth Allocation will change its name to AllianzGI Global Dynamic Allocation Fund.

It is expected that on or around February 2, 2015 that the AllianzGI Europe Equity Dividend Fund will commence operations as a series of the Trust, offering Class A, Class C, Class P and Institutional Class shares. The Fund will seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by creating a diversified portfolio of high-yielding equity securities issued by European companies that the portfolio managers consider to have high-quality business fundamentals.

investment purposes) in equity securities and equity-related instruments. The Fund will also normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in securities of European issuers or in cash equivalents or fixed income securities denominated in euros or other European currencies.

It is expected that on or around February 2, 2015 that the AllianzGI Global Megatrends Fund will commence operations as a series of the Trust, offering Class A, Class P and Institutional Class shares. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in certain affiliated mutual funds sponsored and managed by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates (the “Underlying Funds”). While the portfolio manager retains flexibility to invest in a wide range of Underlying Funds and direct positions in securities, at inception the Fund intends to invest 20% of its assets in each of the following five Underlying Funds: AllianzGI Emerging Markets Consumer Fund, the AllianzGI Global Natural Resources Fund, the AllianzGI Global Water Fund, the AllianzGI Technology Fund and the AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund. Each of these Underlying Funds invests primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities that the Fund’s portfolio manager believes will permit the Fund to benefit from long-term secular trends as they unfold over a multi-year period. The portfolio manager will rebalance the Fund’s investments in these five Underlying Funds periodically and may select additional or different Underlying Funds or other securities for investment (without approval by or notice to shareholders).

It is expected that on or around February 2, 2015 that the AllianzGI International Growth Fund will commence operations as a series of the Trust, offering Class A and Institutional Class shares. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by creating a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. stocks exhibiting long-term growth and quality characteristics. The portfolio managers will attempt to include in the Fund’s portfolio securities that exhibit the greatest combination of earnings growth potential, quality (as reflected in consistent business fundamentals) and attractive valuation. The Fund will normally invest primarily in non-U.S. securities. The portfolio managers will follow a disciplined, bottom-up approach to stock selection that is based on fundamental, company-specific analysis. The Fund will target investments in companies primarily based on analysis of three criteria: structural growth, quality and valuation.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) and a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, initially approve the investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement for a new fund.

The new agreements approved during the period covered by this report relate to the organization of AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the “Emerging Markets Debt Fund” or “New Fund”), a new series of the Trust, which commenced operations on September 15, 2014. At an in-person meeting held on June 23-24, 2014, the Board and the Independent Trustees unanimously approved, for an initial 2-year term, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) on behalf of the New Fund with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Investment Manager and Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.” or the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the New Fund. The Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements”.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of these approvals for the New Fund are discussed below.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements and the factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during their contract review meeting.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the Agreements, the Trustees, including 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. The Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services to be performed with respect to the New Fund by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.

In connection with their deliberations, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information compiled from Morningstar Direct (“Morningstar”), an independent third party, on the investment performance for various time periods, including annualized return performance information for certain time periods, of a group of funds with investment classifications and/or objectives comparable to those proposed for the New Fund, (ii) information on the New Fund’s management fees and other anticipated expenses and information compiled from Morningstar on the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds, (iii) an estimate of the profitability to

the Investment Manager from its relationship with the New Fund during its first year, (iv) descriptions of various functions to be performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the New Fund, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (v) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel proposed to provide investment management, administrative and other services to the New Fund.

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the approval of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in their deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. The Trustees also took into account that the Investment Manager had proposed to observe certain management fee waivers and/or expense limitations for the New Fund. The Trustees also considered the risk profile of the New Fund.

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to provide high quality investment management and other services to the New Fund. Among other information, they considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of AllianzGI U.S.; the experience of key advisory personnel of AllianzGI U.S. or its affiliates who would be responsible for portfolio management of the New Fund; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; and the capability of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s expected services with respect to regulatory compliance and ability to comply with the investment and compliance policies and procedures of the New Fund; the nature, extent and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager would be responsible for providing to the New Fund; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the New Fund in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that AllianzGI U.S.’s investment processes, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the New Fund, given its investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

In assessing the reasonableness of the New Fund’s proposed fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the New Fund’s proposed management fee and its expected net expense ratio as a percentage of anticipated average daily net assets, taking into account the management fee waiver

and/or expense limitation arrangements that the Investment Manager would observe, and the advisory fees and net expense ratios of a peer group of funds based on information compiled from Morningstar.

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

The Independent Trustees considered the proposed allocation of the management fee between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and the services to be provided by the Investment Manager, on the one hand, and the Sub-Adviser, on the other hand. They noted that the Investment Manager (and not the New Fund) would pay the sub-advisory fees.

The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates do not offer other funds or accounts with-similar investment objective(s) and policies to those of the New Fund.

The Trustees also considered the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the New Fund and noted that such profitability was expected to be negative for the New Fund’s first year of operation.

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the New Fund. The Trustees also took into account that, as an open-end investment company, the New Fund intends to continuously raise assets, so as the assets of the New Fund increase over time, certain economies of scale and other efficiencies may be realized through spreading certain fixed costs over a larger asset base or across a variety of products and services. In this regard, they also took into account the management fee waiver and/or expense limitation arrangements proposed to be observed by the Investment Manager for the New Fund.

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager and sub-adviser to the New Fund.

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the proposed fees payable under each of the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature,

extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, and should be approved for an initial two-year period. Based on their evaluation of factors they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the initial approval of the Agreements was in the interests of the New Fund and its shareholders and should be approved.

Privacy Policy

 

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 websites.

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 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.
