FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

 

LOGO

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund:

 

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

 

     Institutional
Class
    Class P     Administrative
Class
 
Management Fees     0.50     0.60     0.50
Distribution and/or Service
(12b-1) Fees
    N/A        N/A        0.25
Other Expenses(1)     0.03     N/A        0.03
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)     0.53     0.60     0.78

 

(1) “Other Expenses” reflect interest expense. Interest expense results from the Fund’s use of certain investments such as reverse repurchase agreements. 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) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense is 0.50% and 0.75% for Institutional Class and Administrative Class, respectively.

 

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Institutional Class, Class P or Administrative Class 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, the Example shows what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

 

     1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  
Institutional Class     $54         $170         $296         $665   
Class P     $61         $192         $335         $750   
Administrative Class     $80         $249         $433         $966   

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

 

LOGO

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 502% of the average value of its portfolio.

 

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

 

LOGO

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Fund normally varies within two years (plus or minus) of the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, which as of June 30, 2010 was 4.30 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 Fund may invest only in investment grade U.S. dollar denominated securities of U.S. issuers that are rated at least Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or equivalently rated by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Fitch, Inc., or, if unrated, determined by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) to be of comparable quality.

 

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. 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). The “total return” sought by the Fund consists of income earned on the Fund’s investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

LOGO

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 service

 

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

 

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 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

 

LOGO

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 limitation, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. For periods prior to the inception date of Class P shares (December 31, 2009), performance information shown in the table for the class is based on the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the actual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other expenses paid by Class P shares. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

 

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. Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Fund Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest at least 65% of their assets in investment-grade debt issues (rated in the top four grades) with dollar-weighted average maturities of five to ten years.

 

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.

(1) After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. 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 Institutional Class shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
