"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.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense is 0.60%, 0.70%,  0.85%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 1.75% and 1.25% for Institutional Class, Class P, Administrative Class, Class D, Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Institutional Class, Class P, Administrative Class, Class D, 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 736% 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 80% of its assets in a portfolio of mortgage-related assets, including, but not limited to Agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and private label residential and commercial MBS, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. Agency MBS refers to MBS issued by government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA" or "Ginnie Mae"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA" or "Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC" or "Freddie Mac"). The Fund will invest in a broad array of mortgage-related securities in seeking to generate consistent, absolute returns across full market cycles. The remainder of the Fund's assets may be invested in other types of "Fixed Income Instruments," which include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Fund normally varies from (negative) 1 year to positive 8 years based on PIMCO's forecast for interest rates. 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 50% of its total assets in high yield securities ("junk bonds") that are rated Caa 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 Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO") to be of comparable quality (except such limitation shall not apply to the Fund's investments in mortgage-related securities). 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, options on futures, fixed income swap agreements, credit default swap agreements and other synthetic mortgage-related swap indices, 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 invest up to 10% of its total assets in any combination of mortgage-related or other asset-backed interest-only ("IO"), principal-only ("PO"), or inverse floating rate debt ("inverse floater") securities. 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.

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

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

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, call and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity

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. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market, reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities, and may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as futures, swaps and structured securities), including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or valuation complexity. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested. The Fund's use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund's returns and/or increased volatility. Derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations

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

Extension Risk: the risk that, in periods of rising interest rates, issuers of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may pay principal later than expected, which may reduce the value of the Fund's investment in such securities and may prevent the Fund from receiving higher interest rates on proceeds reinvested

Prepayment Risk: the risk that, in periods of declining interest rates, issuers of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may pay principal more quickly than expected, which results in the Fund foregoing future interest income on the portion of the principal repaid early and may result in the Fund being forced to reinvest investment proceeds at lower interest rates

Privately Issued Mortgage-Related Securities Risk: the risk of non-payment because there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in the pools created by non-governmental issuers

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, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss

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

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 foreign government) than funds that are "diversified"

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 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, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Institutional Class shares. Performance for Class A and Class C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Administrative Class of the Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. 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 Interbank 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.

Lipper Absolute Return Funds Average is a total return performance average of Funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that aim for positive returns in all market conditions. The funds are not benchmarked against a traditional long-only market index but rather have the aim of outperforming a cash or risk-free benchmark.

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.
