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:

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

	1 Year	3 Years
Institutional Class	$84	$262
Class P	$94	$293
Administrative Class	$109	$340
Class D	$119	$372
Class A	$490	$733
Class C	$295	$603
Class R	$145	$449

If you do not redeem your shares:

	1 Year	3 Years
Institutional Class	$84	$262
Class P	$94	$293
Administrative Class	$109	$340
Class D	$119	$372
Class A	$490	$733
Class C	$195	$603
Class R	$145	$449

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. For the period December 30, 2013 – March 31, 2014, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 31% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks total return which exceeds that of the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Unhedged) (the "Benchmark Index"), by investing under normal circumstances in derivatives based on the RA International Low Volatility Equity Income Index ("RA International Low Volatility Index"), backed by a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. The RA International Low Volatility Index construction process begins by using the Research Affiliates Fundamental Index^® ("RAFI^®") methodology, which is a patented, innovative indexing approach developed by Research Affiliates, LLC. The methodology weights companies by fundamental factors – including sales, cash flows, dividends and book value. The RA International Low Volatility Index selects a subset of securities based upon volatility, income and leverage in an effort to enhance returns and reduce portfolio volatility attributable to equity market downside risk.

The Fund uses the RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the Benchmark Index. The values of the RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives should closely track changes in the value of RA International Low Volatility Index. However, RA International Low Volatility Index 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. The Fund seeks to remain invested in the RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives even when the RA International Low Volatility Index is declining.  The Fund will invest in instruments that are economically tied to at least three countries (one of which may be the United States).

The Fund typically will seek to gain exposure to the RA International Low Volatility Index by investing in total return swap agreements. In a typical swap agreement, the Fund will receive the price appreciation (or depreciation) on the RA International Low Volatility Index from the counterparty to the swap agreement in exchange for paying the counterparty an agreed upon fee. Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in the RA International Low Volatility Index securities, when the RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the RA International Low Volatility Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a "basket" of RA International Low Volatility Index stocks.

Research Affiliates, LLC, the Fund's sub-adviser, provides investment advisory services in connection with the Fund's use of the RA International Low Volatility Index by, among other things, providing Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO"), or counterparties designated by PIMCO, with a model portfolio reflecting the composition of the RA International Low Volatility Index for purposes of developing RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives. Specifically, the Fund's sub-adviser facilitates the Fund's use of the RA International Low Volatility Index derivatives by providing model portfolios of the RA International Low Volatility Index securities to the Fund's swap counterparties, so that the counterparties can provide total return swaps based on the RA International Low Volatility Index to the Fund. Because the RA International Low Volatility Index 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, or individual securities to replicate the performance of the RA International Low Volatility Index.

In managing the Fund's investments in Fixed Income Instruments, PIMCO utilizes an absolute return ("AR") approach, which is designed to have flexibility with respect to duration, overall sector exposures, non-U.S. exposures and credit quality, both as a function of the strategy's investment guidelines and lack of a fixed income index benchmark. The AR approach does not apply to the equity index replicating component of the Fund. "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. 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 (negative) 3 years 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, 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 related derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 20% 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 (except that within such limitation, the Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities rated below B). The Fund may invest, without limitation, in securities denominated in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies and in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign (non-U.S.) issuers. With respect to the Fund's fixed income investments, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. 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.

The Benchmark 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.

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 RA International Low Volatility 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 RA International Low Volatility 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

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

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 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

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, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates of portfolio securities, and the risk of unfavorable foreign government actions, including 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, 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 and Research Affiliates will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO, Research Affiliates 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.
