Investment Objective

The Fund seeks maximum real return, consistent with preservation of real capital and prudent investment management.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in Class A shares of eligible funds offered by PIMCO Equity Series and PIMCO Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available in the "Classes of Shares--Class A, B, C and R Shares" section on page 130 of the Fund's prospectus or from your financial advisor.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses [2] 0.86% 0.86%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses [3][4][5] 1.87% 2.62%
[1] "Other Expenses" reflect interest expense. Interest expense results from the Fund's ability to borrow money for investment purposes from a committed line of credit. Such expense is required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and is not payable to PIMCO. Any interest expense amount will vary based on the Fund's use of those investments as an investment strategy best suited to seek the objective of the Fund.
[2] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (Underlying PIMCO Funds Expenses) include estimated interest expense of 0.02%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.85% and 2.60% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
[4] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense is 1.56% and 2.31% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A or Class C shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you redeem your shares at the end of each period:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 68% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class or, as applicable, Class M shares of any funds of the Trust, except the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset, PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds, as well as in funds of PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"). The Fund invests its assets in shares of the Underlying PIMCO Funds and does not invest directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Research Affiliates, LLC, the Fund's asset allocation sub-adviser, determines how the Fund allocates and reallocates its assets among the Underlying PIMCO Funds. In doing so, the asset allocation sub-adviser seeks concurrent exposure to a broad spectrum of asset classes.

The Fund may invest in any or all of the Underlying PIMCO Funds, but will not normally invest in every Underlying PIMCO Fund at any particular time. The Fund's investment in any particular UnderlyingPIMCO Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. The Portfolio's investment in the PIMCO StocksPLUS® TR Short Strategy Fund normally will not exceed 20% of its total assets. The Fund's combined investments in the PIMCO Fundamental IndexPLUS® TR, PIMCO Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, PIMCO StocksPLUS®, PIMCO StocksPLUS® Long Duration and PIMCO StocksPLUS® Total Return Funds ("U.S. Stock Funds") normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. The Fund's combined investments in the PIMCO International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), PIMCO EqS Emerging Markets and PIMCO EqS PathfinderTM Funds ("Non-U.S. Stock Funds") normally will not exceed 33 1/3% of its tota l assets. The Fund's combined investments in the U.S. Stock Funds and Non-U.S. Stock Funds (less any investment in the PIMCO StocksPLUS® TR Short Strategy Fund) normally will not exceed 66 2/3% of its total assets. In addition, the Fund's combined investments in the PIMCO CommodityRealReturn® Strategy, PIMCO Real Return, PIMCO Real Return Asset and PIMCO RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets.

The Fund's assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying PIMCO Funds, the Fund's asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. Such data includes projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Fund's asset allocation sub -adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Fund's assets among any or all of the asset class exposures represented by the Underlying PIMCO Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets. While these analyses are performed daily, material shifts in asset class exposures typically take place over longer periods of time. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund may use leverage by borrowing for investment purposes. The Fund will borrow only from banks, and only when the value of the Fund's assets, minus its liabilities other than borrowings, equals or exceeds 300% of the Fund's total borrowings, including the proposed borrowing. If at any time this 300% coverage requirement is not met, the Fund will, within three business days, decrease its borrowings to the extent required. Borrowing requires the payment of interest and other loan costs. To make such payments, the Fund may be forced to sell portfolio securities when it is not otherwise advantageous to do so. At times when the Fund's borrowings are substantial, the interest expense to the Fund may result in the Fund having little or no investment income. The use of leverage by borrowing creates the potential for greater gains to shareholders of the Fund during favorable market conditions and the risk of magnified losse s during adverse market conditions. In addition, the Underlying PIMCO Funds may engage in certain transactions that give rise to a form of leverage.

The Fund is a "fund of funds," which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds. In addition to investing in the underlying PIMCO Funds, at the discretion of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") and without shareholder approval, the Fund may invest in additional underlying PIMCO Funds created in the future.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Underlying PIMCO Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Underlying PIMCO Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Underlying PIMCO Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

The principal risks of investing in the Underlying PIMCO Funds, and consequently the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return, are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Distressed Company Risk: the risk that securities of distressed companies may be subject to greater levels of credit, issuer and liquidity risk than a portfolio that does not invest in such securities. Securities of distressed companies include both debt and equity securities. Debt securities of distressed companies are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuers' continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Value Investing Risk: a value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur

Arbitrage Risk: the risk that securities purchased pursuant to an arbitrage strategy intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities may not perform as expected

Convertible Securities Risk: as convertible securities share both fixed income and equity characteristics, they are subject to risks to which fixed income and equity investments are subject. These risks include equity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The Fund measures its performance against two benchmarks. The Fund's primary benchmark is the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500"). The Fund's secondary benchmark is a benchmark created by adding 6.5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") (specifically, the CPI for All Urban Consumers). The Fund believes that this secondary benchmark reflects the Fund's long-term investment strategy more accurately than the S&P 500.

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A and Class C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of Class A and Class C shar es (July 29, 2005), performance information shown in the bar chart and table for these classes is based on the performance of the Fund's Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different prospectus. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the actual sales charges (in the Average Annual Total Returns table only), distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, administrative fees and other expenses paid by Class A and Class C shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The CPI + 650 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 6.5% to the annual percentage change in the CPI. This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indexes will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. The Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that allocate their investments across various asset classes, including domestic common stocks, bond and money market instruments with a focus on total return.

Performance for the Fund is updated daily and quarterly and may be obtained as follows: daily updates on the net asset value and performance page at http://investments.pimco.com/ DailyPerformance and quarterly updates at http://investments. pimco.com/QuarterlyPerformance.

In some cases the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are for Class A shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.

[1] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds of 0.02%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.445%, 2.195%, 2.195%, and 1.745% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to reduce its advisory fee to the extent that the Underlying PIMCO Fund Expenses attributable to advisory and supervisory and administrative fees exceed 0.64% of the total assets invested in Underlying PIMCO Funds. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit. "Other Expenses" reflect recoupment of waived advisory and supervisory and administrative fees from prior periods.
[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.385%, 2.135%, 2.135% and 1.685% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example also assumes conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after five years. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 77% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class or, as applicable, Class M shares of any funds of the Trust, except the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset, PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds, as well as in funds of PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"). Though it is anticipated that the Fund will not currently invest in the PIMCO StocksPLUS® TR Short Strategy Fund, the Portfolio may invest in this Underlying PIMCO Fund in the future, without shareholder approval, at the discretion of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO"). The Fund invests its assets in shares of the Underlying PIMCO Funds and does not invest directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Research Affiliates, LLC, the Fund's asset allocation sub-adviser, determines how the Fund allocates and reallocates its assets among the Und erlying PIMCO Funds. In doing so, the asset allocation sub-adviser seeks concurrent exposure to a broad spectrum of asset classes.

The Fund may invest in any or all of the Underlying PIMCO Funds, but will not normally invest in every Underlying PIMCO Fund at any particular time. The Fund's investment in a particular Underlying PIMCO Fund normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. The Fund's combined investments in the PIMCO Fundamental IndexPLUS® TR, PIMCO International StocksPLUS® TR Strategy (Unhedged), PIMCO Small Cap StocksPLUS® TR, PIMCO StocksPLUS®, PIMCO StocksPLUS® Long Duration, PIMCO StocksPLUS® Total Return, PIMCO EqS Emerging Markets and PIMCO EqS PathfinderTM Funds normally will not exceed 50% of its total assets. In addition, the Fund's combined investments in the PIMCO CommodityRealReturn Strategy®, PIMCO Real Return, PIMCO Real Return Asset and PIMCO RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Funds normally will not exceed 75% of its total assets. The Fund's assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Underlying PIMCO Funds, the Fund's asset allocation sub-adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative data relating to the U.S. and foreign economies and securities markets. Such data includes projected growth trends in the U.S. and foreign economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short-and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity and fixed income markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances and labor information. The Fund's asset allocation sub-adviser has the flexibility to reallocate the Fund's assets among any or all of the asset class exposures represented by the Underlying PIMCO Funds based on its ongoing analyses of the equity, fixed income and commodity markets.

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Distressed Company Risk: the risk that securities of distressed companies may be subject to greater levels of credit, issuer and liquidity risk than a portfolio that does not invest in such securities. Securities of distressed companies include both debt and equity securities. Debt securities of distressed companies are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuers' continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Value Investing Risk: a value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur

Arbitrage Risk: the risk that securities purchased pursuant to an arbitrage strategy intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities may not perform as expected

Convertible Securities Risk: as convertible securities share both fixed income and equity characteristics, they are subject to risks to which fixed income and equity investments are subject. These risks include equity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The Fund measures its performance against two benchmarks. The Fund's primary benchmark is the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index. The Fund's secondary benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") (specifically, the CPI for All Urban Consumers). The Fund believes that this secondary benchmark reflects the Fund's long-term investment strategy more accurately than the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index.

The performance information shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A, B and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of Class A, B and C shares (April 30, 2003) and the inception date of Class R shares (January 31, 2006), performance information shown in the bar chart and table for those classes is based on the performance of the Fund's Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different prospectus. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the actual sales charges (in the Average Annual Total Returns table only), distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, administrative fees and other expenses paid by Class A, B, C and R shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS: 1-10 Year Index is an unmanaged index market comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected securities having a maturity of at least 1 year and less than 10 years. The CPI + 500 Basis Points benchmark is created by adding 5% to the annual percentage change in the CPI. This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns. The CPI is an unmanaged index representing the rate of inflation of the U.S. consumer prices as determined by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI or other indexes will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. The Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that allocate their investments across various asset classes, including domestic common stocks, bond and money market instruments with a focus on total return.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 94% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in short positions with respect to the Dow Jones--UBS Commodity Index Total Return (the "Index"), including commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by an actively managed, low volatility portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, such that the Fund's net asset value may vary inversely with the value of the Index on a daily basis, subject to certain limitations summarized below. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will generally benefit when the price of the Index is declining. When the Index is rising, the Fund will generally not perform as well. Fixed Income Instruments owned by the Fund may also benefit or detract from the Fund's net asset value. The Fund is designed for investors seeking to take advantage of declines in the value of the Index, or investors wishing to hedge existing long commodities positions. However, the Fund is not designed or expected to produce returns which replicate the inverse of the performance of the Index due to compounding, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC's ("PIMCO") active management, Fund fees and expenses and other factors discussed below.

The Fund will maintain short positions through the use of a combination of commodity-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements, futures, options on futures, commodity index-linked notes and commodity options that provide short exposure to the investment returns of the commodities futures markets. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agricultural products. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and regulatory developments. While the Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest primarily in Index short positions backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, PIMCO may reduce the Fund's exposure to Index short positions when PIMCO deems it appropriate to do so. Additionally, the Fu nd may purchase call options on Index futures contracts or on other similar Index derivatives in an effort to limit the total potential decline in the Fund's net asset value during a market in which prices of commodities positions are rising or expected to rise. Because the Fund invests primarily in short positions, gains and losses in the Fund will primarily be taxable as short-term gains or losses. However, a portion of the gains or losses from certain types of derivatives, including futures contracts in which the Fund may choose to invest, will be taxable as long-term gains or losses.

The Fund will seek to gain short exposure to the commodity futures markets primarily through investments in swap agreements and futures, and through investments in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Fund IV Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by PIMCO, and has the same investment objective as the Fund. As discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the prospectus, the Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments. The derivative instruments in which the Fund and the Subsidiary primarily intend to invest are instruments inversely linked to certain commodity indices and instruments inversely linked to the value of a particular commodity or commodity futures contract, or a subset of commodities or commodity futures contracts. These instru ments may specify short exposure to commodity futures with different roll dates, reset dates or contract months than those specified by a particular commodity index. As a result, the commodity-linked derivatives component of the Fund's portfolio may deviate from the inverse returns of any particular commodity index. The Fund or the Subsidiary may over-weight or under-weight its short exposure to a particular commodity index, or a subset of commodities, such that the Fund has greater or lesser short exposure to that index than the value of the Fund's net assets, or greater or lesser short exposure to a subset of commodities than is represented by a particular commodity index. Such deviations will frequently be the result of temporary market fluctuations, and under normal circumstances the Fund will seek to maintain notional short exposure to one or more commodity indices within 5% (plus or minus) of the value of the Fund's net assets.

The Fund may also invest in leveraged or unleveraged commodity index-linked notes, which are derivative debt instruments with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the inverse performance of commodity indices. These commodity index-linked notes are sometimes referred to as "structured notes" because the terms of these notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the note. The value of these notes will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index of investment.

Assets not invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments or the Subsidiary may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments, including derivative Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in particular sectors of the commodities futures market.

The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will vary based on PIMCO's forecast for interest rates and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed one year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest in investment grade securities that are rated at least Baa, including up to 10% of its total assets in securities rated below A, by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest without limit in U.S. dollar denominated securitie s of foreign issuers. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or currencies) to within 1% (plus or minus) of the foreign currency exposure of the Index, which as of June 30, 2011 was 0%. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy back or dollar rolls). The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales.

Although the Fund uses derivatives and other short positions to gain exposures that may vary inversely with the performance of the Index on a daily basis, the Fund as a whole is not designed or expected to produce returns which replicate the inverse of the performance of the Index, and the degree of variation could be substantial, particularly over longer periods. Because the value of the Fund's derivatives short positions move in the opposite direction from the value of the Index each day, for periods greater than one day, the effect of compounding may result in the performance of these derivatives positions, and the Fund's performance attributable to those positions, to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the Index performance for such periods, and the extent of the variation could be substantial due to market volatility and other factors. In addition, the combination of income and capital gains or losse s derived from the Fixed Income Instruments serving as cover for the Fund's short positions, coupled with the ability of the Fund to reduce or limit short exposure, as described above, may result in an imperfect inverse correlation between the performance of the Index and the performance of the Fund. It is possible for the Fund to experience a negative return when the Index is declining, and vice versa. Further, there are a number of other reasons why changes in the value of derivatives positions may not correlate exactly (either positively or inversely) with an index or which may otherwise prevent a mutual fund or its positions from achieving such correlation.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of commodity-linked derivative instruments are rising and fixed income securities are declining, the Fund may experience substantial losses. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including correlation, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 82% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by an actively managed, low volatility portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements, futures, options on futures, commodity index-linked notes and commodity options that provide exposure to the investment returns of the commodities futures markets. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agricultural products. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and regulatory developments.

The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity futures markets primarily through investments in swap agreements and futures, and through investments in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Fund III Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by PIMCO, and has the same investment objective as the Fund. As discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the prospectus, the Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments. The derivative instruments in which the Fund and the Subsidiary primarily intend to invest are instruments linked to certain commodity indices and instruments linked to the value of a particular commodity or commodity futures contract, or a subset of commodities or commodity futures contracts. These instruments may specify exposur e to commodity futures with different roll dates, reset dates or contract months than those specified by a particular commodity index. As a result, the commodity-linked derivatives component of the Fund's portfolio may deviate from the returns of any particular commodity index. The Fund or the Subsidiary may over-weight or under-weight its exposure to a particular commodity index, or a subset of commodities, such that the Fund has greater or lesser exposure to that index than the value of the Fund's net assets, or greater or lesser exposure to a subset of commodities than is represented by a particular commodity index. Such deviations will frequently be the result of temporary market fluctuations, and under normal circumstances the Fund will seek to maintain notional exposure to one or more commodity indices within 5% (plus or minus) of the value of the Fund's net assets.

The Fund may also invest in leveraged or unleveraged commodity index-linked notes, which are derivative debt instruments with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the performance of commodity indices. These commodity index-linked notes are sometimes referred to as "structured notes" because the terms of these notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the note. The value of these notes will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index of investment.

Assets not invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments or the Subsidiary may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments, including derivative Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in particular sectors of the commodities futures market.

The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will vary based on PIMCO's forecast for interest rates and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed one year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest in investment grade securities that are rated at least Baa, including up to 10% of its total assets in securities rated below A, by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest without limit in U.S. dollar denominated securitie s of foreign issuers. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or currencies) to 5% of its total assets. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy back or dollar rolls). The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of commodity-linked derivative instruments are rising and fixed income securities are declining, the Fund may experience substantial losses. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The Fund does not have a full calendar year of performance. Thus, no bar chart or Average Annual Total Returns table is included for the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 198% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. "Real Return" equals total return less the estimated cost of inflation, which is typically measured by the change in an official inflation measure. The Fund invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures and options on futures, that provide exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets, without investing directly in physical commodities. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, metals, and agricultural products. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by overa ll market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and regulatory developments. The Fund may also invest in common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities of issuers in commodity-related industries.

The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in leveraged or unleveraged commodity index-linked notes, which are derivative debt instruments with principal and/or coupon payments linked to the performance of commodity indices, and through investments in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Fund I Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). These commodity index-linked notes are sometimes referred to as "structured notes" because the terms of these notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the note. The value of these notes will rise or fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index of investment. The Fund may also gain exposure to commodity markets by investing in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is advised by PIMCO, and has the same investment objective as the Fund. As discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus, the Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments.

The derivative instruments in which the Fund and the Subsidiary primarily intend to invest are instruments linked to certain commodity indices and instruments linked to the value of a particular commodity or commodity futures contract, or a subset of commodities or commodity futures contracts. These instruments may specify exposure to commodity futures with different roll dates, reset dates or contract months than those specified by a particular commodity index. As a result, the commodity-linked derivatives component of the Fund's portfolio may deviate from the returns of any particular commodity index. The Fund or the Subsidiary may over-weight or under-weight its exposure to a particular commodity index, or a subset of commodities, such that the Fund has greater or lesser exposure to that index than the value of the Fund's net assets, or greater or lesser exposure to a subset of commodities than is represented by a par ticular commodity index. Such deviations will frequently be the result of temporary market fluctuations, and under normal circumstances the Fund will seek to maintain notional exposure to one or more commodity indices within 5% (plus or minus) of the value of the Fund's net assets.

Assets not invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments or the Subsidiary may be invested in inflation-indexed securities and other Fixed Income Instruments, including derivative Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. In addition, the Fund may invest its assets in particular sectors of the commodities market.

The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will vary based on PIMCO's forecast for interest rates and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed ten years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy back or dollar rolls). The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of commodity-linked derivative instruments are rising and fixed income securities are declining, the Fund may experience substantial losses. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Total Return Index (formerly named the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return) is an unmanaged index composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The index is designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for commodities as an asset class. The Lipper Commodities General Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds that invest primarily in a blended basket of commodity-linked derivative instruments or physicals. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. The Fund began operations on 6/28/02. Index comparisons began on 6/30/02.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 512% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in derivatives providing long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and short exposure to the S&P 500 Index (the "S&P 500"), backed by a diversified portfolio of short and intermediate maturity Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and the S&P 500 are further described below. The Fund's strategy with respect to maintaining long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and short exposure to the S&P 500 can be characterized as "market neutral" because it seeks to maintain a low correlation to the fluctuation of the U.S. equity market as a whole while returning the relative appreciation (or depreciation) of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 over the S&P 500.

Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is a performance recalibrated version of the FTSE RAFI® 1000 Index, which is composed of the 1,000 largest publicly-traded U.S. companies by fundamental accounting value. Unlike other indexes, which are frequently comprised of stocks weighted according to their market capitalization, Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is weighted by a combination of fundamental factors, including sales, cash flow, book values and, if applicable, dividends (sales, cash flow and dividends are averaged over the prior five years), and may incorporate additional factors, including but not limited to the quality of corporate earnings, the risk of financial distress and the quality of corporate governance/accounting practices. Indexes based on market capitalization, such as the S&P 500, generally overweight stocks which are overvalued, and underweight stocks which are undervalued. Enhanced RAFI® 1000 seeks to av oid this problem by weighting stocks based on variables that do not depend on the fluctuations of market valuation. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks.The Fund seeks to maintain long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and short exposure to the S&P 500 even when Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is underperforming relative to the S&P 500.

The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps to gain long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 andshort exposure to the S&P 500. The Fund typically will seek to simultaneously gain long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and short exposure to the S&P 500, each in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. In a typical swap agreement, the Fund will receive the price appreciation (or depreciation) on Enhanced RAFI® 1000 from the counterparty to the swap agreement in exchange for paying the price appreciation (or depreciation) on the S&P 500 and certain transaction costs. While the Fund will, under normal circumstances, seek to maintain approximately equal value exposure in its long positions in Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and short positions in the S&P 500 in an effort to offset the effects on the Fund's pe rformance of general stock market movements, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") may increase or decrease the Fund's long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 or the Fund's short exposure to the S&P 500 when PIMCO deems it appropriate to do so. Because Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is a proprietary index, there may be a limited number of counterparties willing or able to serve as counterparties to a swap agreement. If such swap agreements are not available, or when PIMCO otherwise deems it appropriate to do so, the Fund may invest in, or take short positions in, other derivative instruments, "baskets" of stocks, or individual securities to replicate the performance of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 relative to the S&P 500. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds.

The values of derivatives based on Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and the S&P 500 should closely track changes in the value of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 and the S&P 500. However, these derivatives may be purchased with a fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the Fund's assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Research Affiliates, LLC, the Fund's sub-adviser, provides investment advisory services in connection with the Fund's use of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 by, among other things, providing PIMCO, or counterparties designated by PIMCO, with a model portfolio reflecting the composition of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 for purposes of developing Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives. PIMCO actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC registered, taxable and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are sub-divided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mort- gage- or asset-backed securities subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and inst ruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund may also invest, without limitation, in securities denominated in foreign currencies and in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to protect against equity market risk arising from its long exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 by maintaining short exposure to the S&P 500, under certain conditions, generally in a market where Enhanced RAFI® 1000 underperforms relative to the S&P 500 and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience losses. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Class C performance would be lower than Class A performance because of the lower expenses paid by Class A shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund's benchmark index is the 3 Month USD LIBOR Index. LIBOR (London Intrabank Offered Rate) is an average interest rate, determined by the British Bankers Association, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money (3 months) in England's Eurodollar market. The Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that employ portfolio strategies generating consistent returns in both up and down markets by selecting positions with a total net market exposure of zero.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 453% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the FTSE RAFI® 1000 Index (the "Index") by investing under normal circumstances in derivatives based on Enhanced RAFI® 1000, an enhanced, performance recalibrated version of the Index ("Enhanced RAFI® 1000"), backed by a portfolio of short and intermediate maturity Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Index and Enhanced RAFI® 1000 are further described below. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps, including derivatives based on the Index. The Fund uses Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives in addition to or in place of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Index.The values of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives should closely track changes in the value of Enhanced RAFI® 1000. However, Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives may be purchased with a fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Research Affiliates, LLC, the Fund's sub-adviser, provides investment advisory services in connection with the Fund's use of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 by, among other things, providing Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO"), or counterparties designated by PIMCO, with a model portfolio reflecting the composition of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 for purposes of developing Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives. PIMCO actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capit al U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The Index is composed of the 1,000 largest publicly-traded U.S. companies by fundamental accounting value, which includes accounting data found in a company's annual report, selected from the constituents of a proprietary U.S. stock universe. Unlike other indexes, which are frequently comprised of stocks weighted according to their market capitalization, the Index is weighted by a combination of fundamental factors, including sales, cash flow, book values and, if applicable, dividends (sales, cash flow and dividends are averaged over the prior five years). Indexes based on market capitalization, such as the S&P 500, generally overweight stocks which are overvalued, and underweight stocks which are undervalued. Indexes based on fundamental factors, however, such as the Index, seek to avoid this problem by weighting stocks based on variables that do not depend on the fluctuations of market valuation. Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is a performance recalibrated version of the Index that incorporates additional factors, including but not limited to the quality of corporate earnings, the risk of financial distress, the quality of corporate governance/accounting practices and recalibrates existing factors utilized in the Index that affect a company's fundamental drivers of value. Enhanced RAFI® 1000 may also be rebalanced more frequently than the Index. The Fund seeks to remain invested in Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives or Enhanced RAFI® 1000 stocks even when Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is declining.

The Fund typically will seek to gain exposure to Enhanced RAFI® 1000 by investing in total return swap agreements. In a typical swap agreement, the Fund will receive the price appreciation (or depreciation) on Enhanced RAFI® 1000 from the counterparty to the swap agreement in exchange for paying the counterparty an agreed upon fee. The Fund's sub-adviser facilitates the Fund's use of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives by providing model portfolios of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 securities to the Fund's swap counterparties, so that the counterparties can provide total return swaps based on Enhanced RAFI® 1000 to the Fund. Because the Enhanced RAFI® 1000 is a proprietary index, there may be a limited number of counterparties willing or able to serve as counterparties to a swap agreement. If such swap agreements are not available, the Fund may invest in other derivative instruments, "baskets" of stocks, o r individual securities to replicate the performance of Enhanced RAFI® 1000.

Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in Enhanced RAFI® 1000 securities, when Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to Enhanced RAFI® 1000, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a "basket" of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominat ed in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both Enhanced RAFI® 1000 derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of Enhanced RAFI® 1000 stocks. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund measures its performance against two benchmarks. The Fund's primary benchmark is the FTSE RAFI® 1000 Index. FTSE RAFI® 1000 Index is part of the FTSE RAFI® Index Series, launched in association with Research Affiliates, LLC. As part of FTSE Group's range of nonmarket cap weighted indices, the FTSE RAFI® Index Series weights index constituents using four fundamental factors, rather than market capitalization. These factors include dividends, cash flow, sales and book value. The FTSE RAFI® US 1000 Index comprises the largest 1000 US-listed companies by fundamental value, selected from the constituents of the FTSE US All Cap Index, part of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (GEIS). The total return index calculations add the income a stock's dividend provides to the performance of the index. The Fund's secondary benchmark is the S&P 500 Index. S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Lipper Specialty Diversified Equity Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc, that, by portfolio practice, invest in all market capitalization ranges without restriction. These funds typically have distinctly different strategies and performance, resulting in a low coefficient of determination (r-squared) compared to other U.S. diversified equity funds.

[1] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[2] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[3] PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's advisory fee and the supervisory and administrative fee in an amount equal to the management fee and administrative services fee, respectively, paid by the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Fund II Ltd. (the "Subsidiary") to PIMCO. The Subsidiary pays PIMCO a management fee and an administrative services fee at the annual rates of 0.49% and 0.20%, respectively, of its net assets. This waiver may not be terminated by PIMCO and will remain in effect for as long as PIMCO's contract with the Subsidiary is in place.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 71% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional investment managers. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a three-step approach in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective which consists of 1) developing a target asset allocation; 2) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 3) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks. PIMCO evaluates these three steps daily and uses varying combinations of Acquired Funds and/or direct investments to implement them within the Portfolio. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, includin g funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds").

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in any of the Underlying PIMCO Funds (except the PIMCO CommoditiesPLUSTM Short Strategy Fund, PIMCO CommoditiesPLUSTM Strategy Fund and PIMCO CommodityRealReturn Strategy Fund®). The Fund will inves t either directly or indirectly (through a fund) in instruments that are economically tied to at least three countries (one of which may be the United States).

The Fund seeks concurrent exposure to a broad spectrum of asset classes and other investments. The Fund will typically invest 20% to 80% of its total assets in equity-related investments (including investment in common stock, preferred stock, equity securities of real estate investment trusts and/or investment in the Domestic Equity-Related Underlying PIMCO Funds, the International Equity-Related Underlying PIMCO Funds and the PIMCO RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Fund, an Underlying PIMCO Fund and in other equity-related Acquired Funds). With respect to its direct or indirect (through a fund) investments in equity securities, there is no limitation on the market capitalization range of the issuers in which the Fund may invest. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in commodity-related investments (including investment in the PIMCO Cayman Commodity Fund II Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio organi zed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"), and the PIMCO CommoditiesPLUSTM Short Strategy Fund, PIMCO CommoditiesPLUSTM Strategy Fund, PIMCO Commodity RealReturn Strategy Fund®, Underlying PIMCO Funds). The Subsidiary is advised by PIMCO and primarily invests in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. As discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus, the Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in securities denominated in foreign currencies and in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in high yield securities ("junk bonds"). The Fund may invest, without limitation, in securities and instruments that are economi cally tied to emerging market countries. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's assets are not allocated according to a predetermined blend of shares of the Acquired Funds and/or direct investments in securities, instruments and other investments. Instead, when making allocation decisions among the Acquired Funds, securities, instruments and other investments, PIMCO considers various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, and labor information. PIMCO uses these factors to help determine the Fund's target asset allocation and to identify potentially attractive relative value and risk hedging strategies. PIMCO has the flexibility to reallocate the Portfolio's assets among any or all of the investment exposures represented by affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or invest directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy and financial markets. While these analyses are performed daily,material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce the Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the target asset allocation, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Distressed Company Risk: the risk that securities of distressed companies may be subject to greater levels of credit, issuer and liquidity risk than a portfolio that does not invest in such securities. Securities of distressed companies include both debt and equity securities. Debt securities of distressed companies are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuers' continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Value Investing Risk: a value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur

Arbitrage Risk: the risk that securities purchased pursuant to an arbitrage strategy intended to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities may not perform as expected

Convertible Securities Risk: as convertible securities share both fixed income and equity characteristics, they are subject to risks to which fixed income and equity investments are subject. These risks include equity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 1,051% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of its benchmark index by investing under normal circumstances in non-U.S. equity derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund's benchmark index is the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East ("EAFE") Net Dividend Index, hedged to U.S. dollars (the "Index"). The Fund normally uses equity derivatives instead of stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of equity derivatives should closely track changes in the value of underlying securities or indices. However, derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index rep resents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The Index is an unmanaged index of issuers in countries of Europe, Australia and the Far East represented in U.S. dollars on a hedged basis. The Fund seeks to remain invested in equity derivatives and/or stocks even when the Index is declining. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. equities or non-U.S. equity derivatives that do not comprise the Index.

The Fund does not normally invest directly in stocks. However, when equity derivatives appear to be overvalued, the Fund may invest some or all of its assets in stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. With respect to the Fund's fixed i ncome investments, the Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of stocks comprising the Index. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A, B and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 427% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of its benchmark index by investing under normal circumstances in non-U.S. equity derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund's benchmark index is the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Australasia Far East ("EAFE") Net Dividend Index (the "Index"). The Fund normally uses equity derivatives instead of stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of equity derivatives should closely track changes in the value of underlying securities or indices. However, derivatives may be purch ased with a small fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC registered, taxable and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are sub-divided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The Index is an unmanaged index of issuers in countries of Europe, Australia and the Far East represented in U.S. dollars on an unhedged basis. The Fund seeks to remain invested in equity derivatives and/or stocks even when the Index is declining. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. equities or non-U.S. equity derivatives that do not comprise the Index.

The Fund does not normally invest directly in stocks. However, when equity derivatives appear to be overvalued, the Fund may invest some or all of its assets in stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds. The Fund's equity exposure will not be hedged into U.S. dollars. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instr uments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. With respect to the Fund's fixed income investments, the Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. With respect to the Fund's fixed income investments, the Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of stocks comprising the Index. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 193% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 90% of its net assets in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury. The Fund may also invest in the following: U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and other obligations issued by, or guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government and futures contracts on U.S. Treasury securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond's principal or the interest income paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The U.S. Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers before seasonal adjustment (calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) ("CPI") as the inflation measure for U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"). Upon maturity, TIPS return the greater of the original principal or the original principal plus any inflation adj ustments since the bond was issued.

The Fund will invest in short-, intermediate-and long-term inflation-indexed bonds in a "laddered" investment strategy to seek to provide regular monthly distributions adjusted for inflation through the Fund's maturity date in 2019. This laddered structure is expected to result in a portion of the inflation-indexed bonds held by the Fund maturing each year. The laddered structure enables the Fund generally to hold a portion of the inflation-indexed bonds until maturity in order to reduce the long-term impact of changing real interest rates. The portfolio manager will determine the portion of the Fund's inflation-indexed bonds that mature in any given year based on what will best provide the monthly distributions (inflation-adjusted) to shareholders.

The Fund's distribution strategy is designed to provide monthly distributions to Fund shareholders such that all assets of the Fund will be fully distributed to the Fund's shareholders by the Fund's maturity date in 2019. Upon maturity, the Fund is expected to have distributed all of its assets to Fund shareholders and will liquidate by distributing the final monthly distribution. A monthly distribution will primarily consist of the income received from the Fund's portfolio securities and may also include principal from inflation-indexed bonds that have recently matured. The monthly distribution rate will be calculated at the Fund's inception based on the portfolio manager's estimate of the monthly distribution amount that will best allow for the Fund's assets to be fully distributed by the final maturity date of the Fund. This monthly distribution amount will then be adjusted for inflation according to changes in the CP I. During periods of rising inflation the amount of the monthly distribution is expected to increase and during periods of deflation the amount of the monthly distribution is expected to decrease. These distributions are not guaranteed.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Inflation-Indexed Security Risk: the risk that inflation-indexed debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the value of an inflation-indexed security, including TIPS, tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-indexed securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive the principal until maturity

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Distribution Adjustment Risk: the risk that the Fund's calculated monthly distribution amount may be adjusted higher or lower for reasons other than the inflation adjustment described in the "Fund Distributions" section of this prospectus. The purpose of the adjustments is to enable the Fund to better provide regular monthly distributions through the Fund's final maturity date; however, distributions may be adjusted for different reasons including gains or losses from buying and selling securities that can result from shareholder activity, the value of securities at maturity, monthly distributions, and/or portfolio management decisions. If deflation causes the inflation-adjusted principal of a TIPS issue held to maturity to be lower than its original principal value, the Fund would benefit by receiving the greater original principal value. As a result, the corresponding monthly distribution may be adjusted upward to account for the difference between the lower value and the original principal value guaranteed at maturity

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 262% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 90% of its net assets in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury. The Fund may also invest in the following: U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and other obligations issued by, or guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government and futures contracts on U.S. Treasury securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond's principal or the interest income paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The U.S. Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers before seasonal adjustment (calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) ("CPI") as the inflation measure for U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"). Upon maturity, TIPS return the greater of the original principal or the original principal plus any inflation adj ustments since the bond was issued.

The Fund will invest in short-, intermediate- and long-term inflation-indexed bonds in a "laddered" investment strategy to seek to provide regular monthly distributions adjusted for inflation through the Fund's maturity date in 2029. This laddered structure is expected to result in a portion of the inflation-indexed bonds held by the Fund maturing each year. The laddered structure enables the Fund generally to hold a portion of the inflation-indexed bonds until maturity in order to reduce the long-term impact of changing real interest rates. The portfolio manager will determine the portion of the Fund's inflation-indexed bonds that mature in any given year based on what will best provide the monthly distributions (inflation-adjusted) to shareholders.

The Fund's distribution strategy is designed to provide monthly distributions to Fund shareholders such that all assets of the Fund will be fully distributed to the Fund's shareholders by the Fund's maturity date in 2029. Upon maturity, the Fund is expected to have distributed all of its assets to Fund shareholders and will liquidate by distributing the final monthly distribution. A monthly distribution will primarily consist of the income received from the Fund's portfolio securities and may also include principal from inflation-indexed bonds that have recently matured. The monthly distribution rate will be calculated at the Fund's inception based on the portfolio manager's estimate of the monthly distribution amount that will best allow for the Fund's assets to be fully distributed by the final maturity date of the Fund. This monthly distribution amount will then be adjusted for inflation according to changes in the CP I. During periods of rising inflation the amount of the monthly distribution is expected to increase and during periods of deflation the amount of the monthly distribution is expected to decrease. These distributions are not guaranteed.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Inflation-Indexed Security Risk: the risk that inflation-indexed debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the value of an inflation-indexed security, including TIPS, tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-indexed securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive the principal until maturity

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Distribution Adjustment Risk: the risk that the Fund's calculated monthly distribution amount may be adjusted higher or lower for reasons other than the inflation adjustment described in the "Fund Distributions" section of this prospectus. The purpose of the adjustments is to enable the Fund to better provide regular monthly distributions through the Fund's final maturity date; however, distributions may be adjusted for different reasons including gains or losses from buying and selling securities that can result from shareholder activity, the value of securities at maturity, monthly distributions, and/or portfolio management decisions. If deflation causes the inflation-adjusted principal of a TIPS issue held to maturity to be lower than its original principal value, the Fund would benefit by receiving the greater original principal value. As a result, the corresponding monthly distribution may be adjusted upward to account for the difference between the lower value and the original principal value guaranteed at maturity

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 344% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in real estate-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in real estate-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements, options, futures, options on futures and structured notes. The value of real estate-linked derivative instruments may be affected by risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate. Real estate values can fluctuate due to losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, property tax rates, regulatory limitations on rents, zoning laws and operating expenses. The Fund may also invest directly in real estate investment trusts ( "REIT") and in common and preferred stocks as well as convertible securities of issuers in real estate-related industries. The Fund may also invest in exchange traded funds.

The Fund typically will seek to gain exposure to the real estate market by investing in REIT total return swap agreements. In a typical REIT swap agreement, the Fund will receive the price appreciation (or depreciation) of a REIT index or portion of an index, from the counterparty to the swap agreement in exchange for paying the counterparty an agreed-upon fee. Investments in REIT swap agreements may be susceptible to additional risks, similar to those associated with direct investment in REITs, including changes in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, revisions to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), changes in interest rates and poor performance by those managing the REITs. Assets not invested in real estate-linked derivative instruments may be invested in inflation-indexed securities and other Fixed Income Instruments, including derivative Fixed Income Instrument s. In addition, Index derivatives may be purchased with a fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will vary based on Pacific Investment Management Company LLC's ("PIMCO") forecast for interest rates and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed ten years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buybacks or dollar rolls). The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward co mmitment basis and may engage in short sales.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both real estate derivatives and fixed income securities are declining, the Fund may experience substantial losses. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

[1] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds of 0.01%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.60%, 2.35% and 1.85% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.25%, 2.00% and 1.50% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2010 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2010, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adeq uate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private- sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealReti rement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset classes , with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Dow Jones Real ReturnSM 2010 Index is a composite of other indexes. The sub-indexes represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index's maturity date approaches. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2010 Funds Average is a total performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that seek to maximize assets for retirement or other purposes with an expected time horizon not to exceed the year 2010.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 1% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2020 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2020, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adeq uate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private- sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealRet irement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is nondiversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset classes, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Dow Jones Real ReturnSM 2020 Index is a composite of other indexes. The sub-indexes represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index's maturity date approaches. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2020 Funds Average is a total performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that seek to maximize assets for retirement or other purposes with an expected time horizon from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020.

[1] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds of 0.02%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.66%, 2.41% and 1.91% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.30%, 2.05% and 1.55% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 3% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2030 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2030, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adeq uate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private- sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealRet irement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is nondiversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset classes, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Dow Jones Real ReturnSM 2030 Index is a composite of other indexes. The sub-indexes represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index's maturity date approaches. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Average is a total performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that seek to maximize assets for retirement or other purposes with an expected time horizon from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030.

[1] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds of 0.03%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not match the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets of the Fund, as set forth in the Financial Highlights table of the Fund's prospectus, because the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.74%, 2.49% and 1.99% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.35%, 2.10% and 1.60% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 7% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2040 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2040, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adequate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private- sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealRet irement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is nondiversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset class es, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

[5] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.35%, 2.10% and 1.60% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2050 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2050, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adequate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private- sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is nondiversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset classes, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Dow Jones Real ReturnSM 2040+ Index is a composite of other indexes. The sub-indexes represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index's maturity date approaches. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050+ Funds Average is a total performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that seek to maximize assets for retirement or other purposes with an expected time horizon exceeding the year 2045.

[2] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[3] Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive its supervisory and administrative fee, or reimburse the Fund, to the extent that organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees exceed 0.0049% of the Fund's average net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively (the "Expense Limit"). Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, which renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term, PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees plus such recoupment, do not exceed the Expense Limit.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C, or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. The Fund had not yet commenced operations as of the most recent fiscal year end. Thus, no portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2015 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2015, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adeq uate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) develop- ing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealReti rement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset class es, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodi- ties, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes.

While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

[1] "Other Expenses" reflect estimated organizational expenses for the Fund's first fiscal year.
[2] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses include interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds of 0.01%. Interest expense is based on the amounts incurred during an Underlying PIMCO Fund's most recent fiscal year as a result of entering into certain investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements. This interest expense is required to be treated as an expense of such Underlying PIMCO Fund for accounting purposes, but the amount of interest expense (if any) will vary with the Underlying PIMCO Fund's use of those investments (like reverse repurchase agreements) as an investment strategy.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.91%, 2.66% and 2.16% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[5] Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive its supervisory and administrative fee, or reimburse the Fund, to the extent that organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees exceed 0.0049% of the Fund's average net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively (the "Expense Limit"). Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, which renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term, PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees plus such recoupment, do not exceed the Expense Limit.
[6] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.25%, 2.00% and 1.50% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C, or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. The Fund had not yet commenced operations as of the most recent fiscal year end. Thus, no portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCO RealRetirement® 2025 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2025, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation, which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adeq uate income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealReti rement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset class es, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

[4] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive, first, the advisory fee and, second, the supervisory and administrative fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Management Fees of Underlying PIMCO Funds indirectly incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in Underlying PIMCO Funds, to the extent the Fund's Management Fees are greater than or equal to the Management Fees of the Underlying PIMCO Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
[5] PIMCO has contractually agreed, through July 31, 2012, to waive its supervisory and administrative fee, or reimburse the Fund, to the extent that organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees exceed 0.0049% of the Fund's average net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively (the "Expense Limit"). Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, which renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term, PIMCO may recoup these waivers and reimbursements in future periods, not exceeding three years, provided organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees' fees, plus such recoupment, do not exceed the Expense Limit.
[6] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reduction excluding interest expense of the Underlying PIMCO Funds is 1.30%, 2.05% and 1.55% for the Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class C, or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. The Fund had not yet commenced operations as of the most recent fiscal year end. Thus, no portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

The PIMCORealRetirement® 2035 Fund (the "Fund") is intended for investors seeking professional management of a comprehensive asset allocation strategy for retirement savings. The Fund is managed for shareholders that plan to retire or begin withdrawing assets around the year 2035, the Fund's target year. This is the "self-elected" year of retirement for the investors in the Fund. The primary difference between the PIMCO RealRetirement® Funds is their asset allocation,which varies depending on the number of years left until the "self-elected" year of retirement indicated in the PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund's name. The Fund's allocation is intended to meaningfully reduce risk and increasingly focus on preservation of capital as the target retirement date of the Fund nears. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed, and you may experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the Fund's name. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide adequa te income at and through your retirement.

In managing the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") uses a four-step approach consisting of 1) developing and re-evaluating a long-term asset allocation "glide path"; 2) performing tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path; 3) developing a series of relative value strategies designed to add value beyond the target allocation; and 4) utilizing hedging techniques to manage risks.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of affiliated and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, equity securities, forwards and derivatives. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will invest in such funds, securities, instruments and other investments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or any exemptive relief therefrom. The Fund may invest in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Equity Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except funds of funds such as the PIMCO All Asset, PIMCO All Asset All Authority, PIMCO Global Multi-Asset and PIMCO RealReti rement® Funds ("Underlying PIMCO Funds"), and may also invest in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, and unaffiliated funds (collectively, "Acquired Funds"). The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund's long-term asset allocations are based on a "glide path" developed by PIMCO and are based on quantitative and qualitative data relating to various risk metrics, long-term market trends, correlation of asset types and actuarial assumptions of life expectancy and retirement. The Fund's current glide path asset allocation is based on its target date, which is the year in the name of the Fund. The target date assumes a retirement age of 65, and time horizons based on current longevity of persons reaching retirement in average health. Choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting an earlier date represents a more conservative choice; choosing a PIMCO RealRetirement® Fund targeting a later date represents a more aggressive choice. The glide path is designed not only to reduce risk as the target retirement date nears, but is also designed to provide investors diversification across a variety of asset class es, with an emphasis on asset classes that can protect against inflation over time. This is achieved by emphasizing allocations to "real" assets, such as Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS"), commodities, and real estate, which compliment exposures from traditional assets, such as U.S. and international equities, U.S. bonds and short-term instruments. The glide path changes over time, generally becoming more conservative as the Fund approaches the target date.

The chart below shows the glide path and illustrates how the allocation among the asset classes changes before and at the target date. The glide path allocation at the target date remains constant beyond that date. As described in greater detail below, PIMCO may adjust the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the long-term targets specified by the glide path based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO may also choose to modify the target asset allocations of the glide path itself from time to time.

PIMCO performs tactical allocation adjustments around the glide path, meaning PIMCO may vary the Fund's actual asset allocation exposures from the glide path's long-term targets based on PIMCO's real-time views of perceived risks and opportunities. PIMCO will generally reduce variation from the glide path's targets as the Fund approaches the target year in the Fund's name.

The actual asset allocation at a given time may vary from the target strategic asset allocations based on PIMCO's tactical allocation adjustments and on market movements. These variances will be limited to a certain range relative to the target allocations under normal circumstances. The table below illustrates the permissible range in which the allocations may vary, as measured monthly. The minimums and maximums set out in each range are subject to the total allocation equaling 100% of total assets.

The tactical allocation adjustments described above are driven by PIMCO's secular and cyclical views, which are formulated by considering various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, and securities and commodities markets. These factors include projected growth trends in the U.S. and non-U.S. economies, forecasts for interest rates and the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates (yield curve), current and projected trends in inflation, relative valuation levels in the equity, fixed income, commodity and real estate markets and various segments within those markets, the outlook and projected growth of various industrial sectors, information relating to business cycles, borrowing needs and the cost of capital, political trends data relating to trade balances, labor information and relevant legislative or public policy changes. These "top down" macro economic fac tors, as well as more micro "bottom up" factors that are unique to narrowly defined market sectors, are used to identify attractive relative value strategies. These strategies seek to modestly enhance the Fund's returns in a manner within the allocation ranges relative to the glide path targets described above. When reallocating the Fund's investment exposures, PIMCO may do so by adjusting the mix of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, or by investing directly in securities, instruments and other investments, based on its ongoing analyses of the global economy, financial markets and the relative valuation and risks presented by the aforementioned vehicles and instruments. While PIMCO can adjust the Fund's investment exposures daily, including the vehicles or instruments used to gain those exposures, material shifts in investment exposures typically take place over longer periods of time.

As part of its investment process, PIMCO will also seek to reduce exposure to certain risks by implementing various hedging transactions. These hedging transactions seek to reduce a Fund's exposure to certain severe, unanticipated market events that could significantly detract from returns.

Once the tactical asset allocation adjustments, relative value strategies and risk hedging strategies have been determined, PIMCO then evaluates various combinations of affiliated or unaffiliated funds, securities, instruments and other investments to obtain the desired exposures and invests accordingly. Additional information for these Underlying PIMCO Funds can be found in the Statement of Additional Information and/or the Underlying PIMCO Funds' prospectuses and financial reports. Additional Underlying PIMCO Funds may be added or deleted in the future without shareholder notification.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The Fund is generally subject to a different level and amount of risk which is relative to its target date and time horizon. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include risks from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Allocation Risk: the risk that a Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or reallocated

Acquired Fund Risk: the risk that a Fund's performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their investment objectives

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Real Estate Risk: the risk that a Fund's investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. A Fund's investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Tax Risk: the risk that the tax treatment of swap agreements and other derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked derivative instruments, including commodity index-linked notes, swap agreements, commodity options, futures, and options on futures, may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions

Subsidiary Risk: the risk that, by investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The Fund does not have a full calendar year of performance. Thus, no bar chart or Average Annual Total Returns table is included for the Fund. Performance for the Fund is updated daily and quarterly and may be obtained as follows: daily updates on the net asset value and performance page at http://investments.pimco.com/DailyPerformance and quarterly updates at http://investments.pimco.com/QuarterlyPerformance.

The Dow Jones Real ReturnSM 2035 Index is a composite of other indexes. The sub-indexes represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index's maturity date approaches. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 571% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the Russell 2000® Index by investing under normal circumstances in Russell 2000® Index derivatives, backed by a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments actively managed by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO"). "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund normally uses Russell 2000® Index derivatives instead of Russell 2000® Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of Russell 2000® Index derivatives should closely track changes in the value of the index. However, Russell 2000® Index derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. PIMCO actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market , with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The Russell 2000® Index is composed of 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index. As of June 30, 2011, the Russell 2000® Index's average market capitalization (dollar-weighted) was $737 million. The Fund seeks to remain invested in Russell 2000® Index derivatives or Russell 2000® Index stocks even when the Russell 2000® Index is declining.

Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in Russell 2000® Index securities, when Russell 2000® Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the Russell 2000® Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a "basket" of Russell 2000® Index stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds based on the Russell 2000® Index.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both Russell 2000® Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of Russell 2000® Index stocks. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Smaller Company Risk: the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities, due to narrow markets and limited resources of smaller companies. A Fund's investments in smaller companies subject it to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Russell 2000® Index is composed of 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index and is considered to be representative of the small cap market in general. The Lipper Specialty Diversified Equity Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc, that, by portfolio practice, invest in all market capitalization ranges without restriction. These funds typically have distinctly different strategies and performance, resulting in a low coefficient of determination (r-squared) compared to other U.S. diversified equity funds.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 225% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 Index by investing under normal circumstances in S&P 500 Index derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund normally uses S&P 500 Index derivatives instead of S&P 500 Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of S&P 500 Index derivatives should closely track changes in the value of the S&P 500 Index. However, S&P 500 Index derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that w ould be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which is normally not expected to exceed one year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates.

The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The Fund seeks to remain invested in S&P 500 Index derivatives or S&P 500 Index stocks even when the S&P 500 Index is declining.

Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in S&P 500 Index securities, when S&P 500 Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a "basket" of S&P 500 Index stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds based on the S&P 500 Index, such as Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominat ed in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both S&P 500 Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of S&P 500 Index stocks. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A, B and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Fund Average is a total return performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P Super-Composite 1500 Index.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 339% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of its benchmark indexes, the S&P 500 Index and a secondary blended index (as described below, and together with the S&P 500 Index, the "Indexes"), by investing under normal circumstances in S&P 500 Index derivatives, backed by a diversified portfolio of long-term Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund normally uses S&P 500 Index derivatives instead of S&P 500 Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Indexes. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to the S&P 500 Index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of S&P 500 Index derivatives should closely track chan ges in the value of the S&P 500 Index. However, S&P 500 Index derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies within two years (plus or minus) of the duration of the Barclays Capital Long-Term Government/Credit Index, which as of June 30, 2011 was 13.22 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates.

The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The Fund seeks to remain invested in S&P 500 Index derivatives and/or S&P 500 Index stocks even when the S&P 500 Index is declining.

Performance Information

The Fund measures its performance against two benchmarks. The Fund's primary benchmark is the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's secondary benchmark is a blend constructed by adding the returns of the S&P 500 Index to the Barclays Capital Long-Term Government/Credit Index and subtracting 3-Month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). This blend is intended to represent a portfolio which obtains 100% exposure to the S&P 500 Index via derivatives in exchange for the payment of 3-Month LIBOR, and invests the capital in a long duration bond portfolio. The Fund believes that this self-blended benchmark reflects the Fund's investment strategy more accurately than the S&P 500 Index.

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Return table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The secondary benchmark is a blend constructed by adding the returns of the S&P 500 Index to the Barclays Capital Long-Term Government/Credit Index and subtracting 3-Month LIBOR. S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Barclays Capital Long-Term Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. Government or Investment Grade Credit Securities having a maturity of 10 years or more. The 3 Month LIBOR (London Intrabank Offered Rate) is an average interest rate, determined by the British Bankers Association, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money (3 months) in England's Eurodollar market. The Lipper Specialty Diversified Equity Funds Average is a total return performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc, that, by portfolio practice, invest in all market capitalization ranges without restriction. These funds typically have distinctly different strategies and performance, resulting in a low coefficient of determination (r-squared) compared to other U.S. diversified equity funds.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 476% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 Index by investing under normal circumstances in S&P 500 Index derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund normally uses S&P 500 Index derivatives instead of S&P 500 Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund's net assets. The value of S&P 500 Index derivatives should closely track changes in the value of the S&P 500 Index. However, S&P 500 Index derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that w ould be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis.

The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The Fund seeks to remain invested in S&P 500 Index derivatives or S&P 500 Index stocks even when the S&P 500 Index is declining.

Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in S&P 500 Index securities, when S&P 500 Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a "basket" of S&P 500 Index stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds based on the S&P 500 Index, such as Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts.

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and other restrictions described in the Fund's prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated i n foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both S&P 500 Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of S&P 500 Index stocks. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A, B and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of Class A, B and C shares (July 31, 2003), performance shown in the table is based on the performance of th e Fund's Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different prospectus. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the actual sales charges, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, administrative fees and other expenses paid by Class A, B and C shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Fund Average is a total return performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P Super-Composite 1500 Index. The Fund began operations on 6/28/02. Index comparisons began on 6/30/02.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 483% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in short positions with respect to the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") or specific Index securities, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, such that the Fund's net asset value may vary inversely with the value of the Index on a daily basis, subject to certain limitations summarized below. "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund will generally benefit when the price of the Index is declining. When the Index is rising, the Fund will generally not perform as well. Fixed Income Instruments owned by the Fund may also benefit or detract from the Fund's net asset value. The Fund is designed for investors seeking to take advantage of declines in the value of the Index, or investors wishing to hedge existing long equity positions. However, the Fund is not designed or expected to produce returns which replicate the inverse of the performance of the Index due to compounding, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC's ("PIMCO") active management, Fund fees and expenses and other factors discussed below.

The Fund will maintain short positions through the use of a combination of derivatives, including options, futures, options on futures, and swaps. The Fund may invest, without limitation, in such instruments. While the Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest primarily in Index short positions backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, PIMCO may reduce the Fund's exposure to Index short positions when PIMCO deems it appropriate to do so. Additionally, the Fund may purchase call options on Index futures contracts or on other similar Index derivatives in an effort to limit the total potential decline in the Fund's net asset value during a market in which prices of securities are rising or expected to rise. Because the Fund invests primarily in short positions, gains and losses in the Fund will primarily be taxable as short-term gains or losses. However, a portion of the gains or losses from certain types of de rivatives, including futures contracts on broad-based stock indexes in which the Fund may choose to invest, will be taxable as long-term gains or losses.

Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. PIMCO actively manages the fixed income assets held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund's total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which normally varies from a one year minimum duration to a maximum of two years above the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. As of June 30, 2011, the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index was 5.19 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") rated B or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund is non-dive rsified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

Although the Fund uses derivatives and other short positions to gain exposures that may vary inversely with the performance of the Index on a daily basis, the Fund as a whole is not designed or expected to produce returns which replicate the inverse of the performance of the Index, and the degree of variation could be substantial, particularly over longer periods. Because the value of the Fund's derivatives short positions move in the opposite direction from the value of the Index each day, for periods greater than one day, the effect of compounding may result in the performance of these derivatives positions, and the Fund's performance attributable to those positions, to be either greater than or less than the inverse of the Index performance for such periods, and the extent of the variation could be substantial due to market volatility and other factors. In addition, the combination of income and capital gains or losse s derived from the Fixed Income Instruments serving as cover for the Fund's short positions, coupled with the ability of the Fund to reduce or limit short exposure, as described above, may result in an imperfect inverse correlation between the performance of the Index and the performance of the Fund. It is possible for the Fund to experience a negative return when the Index is declining, and vice versa. Further, there are a number of other reasons why changes in the value of derivatives positions may not correlate exactly (either positively or inversely) with an index or which may otherwise prevent a mutual fund or its positions from achieving such correlation.

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund's investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Performance Information

The Fund measures its performance against two benchmarks. The Fund's primary benchmark is the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's performance may vary inversely with the value of the S&P 500 Index on a daily basis, subject to certain limitations. The Fund's secondary benchmark is the Inverse of S&P 500 Index. The Fund believes that the secondary benchmark reflects the Fund's investment strategy more accurately than the S&P 500 Index. It may be reasonable to expect significant differences between the Fund's performance and that of the secondary benchmark, as well as potentially significant differences between the Fund's primary and secondary benchmarks due to compounding and other considerations.

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of Class A and C shares (July 31, 2006 ), performance information shown in the bar chart and table for these classes is based on the perform- ance of the Fund's Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different prospectus. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the actual sales charges (in the Average Annual Total Returns table only), distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, administrative fees and other expenses paid by Class A and C shares. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Fund's performance may vary inversely with the value of the index on a daily basis, subject to certain limitations. Effective July 31, 2009, the Fund selected the S&P 500 Index as its primary benchmark in replacement of the Inverse of S&P 500 Index, which the Fund retains as its secondary benchmark. The Fund added the S&P 500 Index to facilitate a comparison of the Fund's performance to the S&P 500 Index. Inverse of S&P 500 Index is an approximate negative equivalent of the return of the S&P 500 Index and is calculated by compounding the daily inverse of the S&P 500 Index total return. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 350% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 50% of its assets in debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax ("Municipal Bonds"), with the remainder of the Fund's assets invested in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities (such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS")), and other types of Fixed Income Instruments, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements (such as CPI swaps). "Fixed Income Instruments" include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. "Real return" equals total return less the estimated cost of inflation. The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of this Fund will normally vary based on Pa cific Investment Management Company LLC's ("PIMCO") forecast for interest rates and under normal market conditions is not expected to exceed eight years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security's duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates.

Municipal Bonds generally are issued by or on behalf of states and local governments and their agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities. The Fund does not intend to invest in securities whose interest is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in Municipal Bonds that finance education, health care, housing, transportation, utilities and other similar projects, and 25% or more of its total assets in industrial development bonds.

Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond's principal or the interest income paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The U.S. Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers ("CPI") as the inflation measure. Effective duration takes into account that for certain bonds expected cash flows will fluctuate as interest rates change and is defined in nominal yield terms, which is market convention for most bond investors and managers. Because market convention for bonds is to use nominal yields to measure duration, duration for real return bonds, which are based on real yields, are converted to nominal durations through a conversion factor. The resulting nominal duration typically can range from 20% and 90% of the respective real duration. All inflation-indexed security holdings wi ll be measured in effective (nominal) duration terms.

As part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund's investment in derivatives may consist largely of swaps (including CPI swaps) where the Fund receives inflation-indexed payments. A CPI swap is a fixed maturity, over-the-counter derivative in which the investor receives the "realized" rate of inflation as measured by the CPI over the life of the swap. The investor in turn pays a fixed annualized rate over the life of the swap. This fixed rate is often referred to as the "breakeven inflation" rate and is generally representative of the difference between treasury yields and TIPS yields of similar maturities at the initiation of the swap. CPI swaps are typically in "bullet" format, where all cash flows are exchanged at maturity. The Fund may also invest in municipal inflation-indexed securities.

The Fund may invest in investment-grade securities rated Baa or higher by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund will normally limit its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities exposure to 5% of its total assets. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund seeks to minimize shareholders' tax liability in connection with the Fund's distribution of realized capital gain by minimizing the net gains available for distribution. In doing so, the Fund typically sells securities when the anticipated performance benefit justifies the resulting gain. This strategy often includes minimizing the sale of securities with large unrealized gain, holding securities long enough to avoid short-term capital gains taxes, selling securities with a higher cost basis first and offsetting capital gains realized in one security by selling another security at a capital loss. In addition, the Fund seeks to minimize distributions that are taxed as ordinary income and not qualified dividend income.

The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).

Principal Risks

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

Issuer Non-Diversification Risk: the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are "non-diversified" may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are "diversified"

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

Municipal Project-Specific Risk: the risk that the Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in bonds from issuers in a single state

Inflation-Indexed Security Risk: the risk that inflation-indexed debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the value of an inflation-indexed security, including TIPS, tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-indexed securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive the principal until maturity

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

Please see "Description of Principal Risks" in the Fund's prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund's benchmark index is the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond 1-10 year Blend (1-12) Index. The index consists of a broad selection of investment-grade general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds (including all insured bonds with a Aaa/AAA rating), and prerefunded bonds with maturities of at least 1 year and less than 12 years. It is an unmanaged index representative of the tax-exempt bond market. The index is made up of all investment grade municipal bonds issued after 12/31/90 having a remaining maturity of at least one year. Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest in municipal debt issues with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years.
