EX-99.(g)(3)

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, made this 8th day of May, 2018, between each Delaware limited liability company listed on Appendix A attached hereto (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), a Delaware limited liability company. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of each Fund (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”).

WHEREAS, each Fund has been organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO Dynamic Credit & Mortgage Income Fund, a business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (the “Parent Company”), in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Parent Company consistent with the Parent Company’s investment objective(s), policies and restrictions; and

WHEREAS, PIMCO is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Advisers Act”); and

WHEREAS, each Fund desires to retain PIMCO to render investment advisory and supervisory and administrative services hereunder with respect to the Fund; and

WHEREAS, PIMCO is willing to furnish investment advisory and supervisory and administrative services and/or to arrange for such services in the manner and on the terms hereinafter set forth; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment. Each Fund hereby appoints PIMCO to provide the investment advisory services to the Fund and to provide or procure the supervisory and administrative and other services for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, as amended or supplemented from time to time. PIMCO accepts such appointment and agrees during such period to render the services herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.

2. Duties. (a) PIMCO shall, at its expense, (i) employ or associate with itself such persons as it believes appropriate to assist it in performing its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) provide all services, equipment and facilities necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. PIMCO may from time to time seek research assistance and rely on investment management resources available to it through its affiliated companies, but in no case shall such reliance relieve PIMCO of any of its obligations hereunder, nor shall a Fund be responsible for any additional fees or expenses hereunder as a result.

3. Investment Advisory Services. (a) PIMCO shall provide to each Fund investment guidance and policy direction in connection with the management of the Fund, including oral and written research, analysis, advice, and statistical and economic data and information.

Consistent with the investment objective(s), policies and restrictions applicable to each Fund, as set forth in the Parent Company’s Registration Statement filed on Form N-2, as supplemented or amended from time to time, and annual and semi-annual shareholder reports (the “Investment Objectives and Policies”), PIMCO will determine the securities and other assets to be purchased or sold or the other techniques to be utilized (including, but not limited to, the incurrence of leverage and securities lending) by the Fund and will determine what portion of the Fund shall be invested in securities or other assets, and what portion, if any, should be held uninvested.

Each Fund will have the benefit of the investment analysis and research, the review of current economic conditions and trends and the consideration of long-range investment policy generally available to investment advisory clients of PIMCO. It is understood that PIMCO will not, to the extent inconsistent with applicable law, use any material nonpublic information pertinent to investment decisions undertaken in connection with this Agreement that may be in its possession or in the possession of any of its affiliates.

(b) As manager of the assets of each Fund, PIMCO shall make investments for the account of the Fund in accordance with PIMCO’s best judgment and within the Investment Objectives and Policies, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), any applicable SEC rules, exemptive relief, no-action letters or other guidance applicable to the Fund and applicable Internal Revenue Service rules or other guidance, subject to each Fund’s LLC Agreement and policy decisions adopted by the Parent Company.

(c) On occasions when PIMCO deems the purchase or sale of a security or other investment to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as other of its clients, PIMCO, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities or other investments to be so sold or purchased in order to seek to obtain the best execution of the order or lower brokerage commissions or other transaction costs, if any. PIMCO may also on occasion purchase or sell a particular security or other investment for one or more clients in different amounts. On either occasion, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, allocation of the securities or other investments so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by PIMCO in the manner it considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to a Fund and to such other clients.

(d) PIMCO may cause each Fund to pay a broker which provides brokerage and research services to PIMCO a commission for effecting a transaction in excess of the amount another broker might have charged. Such higher commissions may not be paid unless PIMCO determines in good faith that the amount paid is reasonable in relation to the services received in terms of the particular transaction or PIMCO’s overall responsibilities to each Fund and any other of PIMCO’s clients.

(e) PIMCO may itself, or may cause each Fund to, commence, join in, consent to or oppose the reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, sale, merger, foreclosure, liquidation or readjustment of the finances of any person or the securities or other property thereof, and to deposit any securities or other property with any protective, reorganization or similar committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PIMCO may represent each Fund on a creditors’ (or similar) committee.

(f) PIMCO shall have sole authority to exercise whatever powers each Fund may possess with respect to any of the assets of the Fund, including, but not limited to, the right to vote proxies, the power to exercise rights, options, warrants, conversion privileges and redemption privileges, and to tender securities pursuant to a tender offer.
