Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of U.S. government securities. The Fund may invest in the following: U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and other obligations issued by, or guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The Fund may only invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities that mature in 397 days or fewer from the date of purchase. The dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of the Fund may not exceed 60 days and the dollar-weighted average life to maturity of the Fund may not exceed 120 days. The Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.

The Fund's investments will comply with applicable rules governing the quality, maturity and diversification of securities held by money market funds.

Principal Risks

Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, 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

Call Risk: the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons (e.g., declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the issuer's credit quality). If an issuer calls a security that the Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment and may be forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features

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

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 restrictions, policies or 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.

Performance Information

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 M shares. For periods prior to the inception date of Class A, Class C and Class P shares (May 14, 2009), performance information shown in the table for that class is based on the performance of the Fund's Class M shares, adjusted to reflect the actual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other expenses paid by these classes of shares. The Institutional Class, Administrative Class, Class D and Class R of the Fund have not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. Performance for Class A and Class C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. To obtain the Fund's current yield, call 888.87.PIMCO. 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 Citi 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. The index is an unmanaged index representing monthly return equivalents of yield averages of the last 3-month Treasury Bill issues. The Fund began operations on 01/27/09. Index comparisons began on 01/31/09. The Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Funds Average is a total return performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest principally in financial instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or its instrumentalities with dollar-weighted average maturities of less than 90 days.
