Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

The reporting period was a challenging time in the financial markets. Amid evolving investment conditions, we continue to work tirelessly to navigate global markets and manage the assets that you have entrusted with us. Following this letter is the PIMCO Funds Annual Report, which covers the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”). On the subsequent pages, you will find details regarding investment results and discussion of certain factors that affected performance during the reporting period.

For the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2023

The global economy faced significant headwinds during the reporting period, including those related to higher inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”), the war in Ukraine, and turmoil in the banking industry. In the United States (“U.S.”), second quarter 2022, annualized gross domestic product (“GDP”) was -0.6%. The economy then expanded, as third and fourth quarter 2022 annualized GDP was 3.2% and 2.6%, respectively. The U.S. Commerce Department’s initial estimate for first quarter 2023 annualized GDP — released after the reporting period ended — was 1.1%.

In its January 2023 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”) projected global GDP growth to decline from an estimated 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023. The IMF attributed the decline to the rise in central bank rates to fight inflation, especially in advanced economies, and the war in Ukraine. While the IMF believes global inflation will fall from 8.8% in 2022 to 6.6% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, its projection is still higher than the pre-COVID-19 (2017–2019) level of approximately 3.5%. The IMF forecasts 2023 GDP to grow 1.4% in the United States (from 2.0% growth in 2022) and 0.7% in the eurozone (from 3.5% growth in 2022), while falling 0.6% in the United Kingdom (from 4.1% growth in 2022), and rising 1.8% in Japan (from 1.4% growth in 2022).

With inflation reaching a four-decade high in some countries over the reporting period, many central banks aggressively tightened monetary policy in an attempt to rein in rising prices. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has raised the federal funds rate at its last nine meetings, beginning in March 2022, moving from a range between 0.00% and 0.25% to a range between 4.75% and 5.00% in March 2023 — the highest level since 2007. The Bank of England (the “BoE”) began raising rates in December 2021 and did so for the 11th consecutive time in March 2023, pushing its Bank Rate from nearly zero to 4.25%. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank first raised its main interest rate in July 2022 and made its sixth consecutive increase in March 2023, bringing the rate from 0.00% to 3.5%.

In contrast, the Bank of Japan (the “BoJ”) maintained its loose monetary policy for most of 2022. In December 2022, the BoJ announced that it would allow its 10-year

 

2   PIMCO INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND (U.S. DOLLAR-HEDGED)       
        


Table of Contents

 

government bond yield to rise to 0.5% (previously limited to 0.25%). The news initially sent the 10-year bond yield and Japanese yen higher, as market participants interpreted the announcement to mean that the BoJ may pivot from its previous monetary policy stance. However, the BoJ did not raise interest rates for the remainder of the reporting period.

During the reporting period, short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 3.48% on March 31, 2023, versus 2.32% on March 31, 2022. The Bloomberg Global Treasury Index (USD Hedged), which tracks fixed-rate, local currency government debt of investment grade countries, including developed and emerging markets, returned -3.77%. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Credit Index (USD Hedged), a widely used index of global investment grade credit bonds, returned -5.07%. Riskier fixed income asset classes, including high yield corporate bonds and emerging market debt, also generated weak returns. The ICE BofAML Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index (USD Hedged), a widely used index of below-investment-grade bonds, returned -3.10%, whereas emerging market external debt, as represented by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global (USD Hedged), returned -5.86%. Emerging market local bonds, as represented by the JPMorgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index (Unhedged), returned -0.72%.

Amid periods of volatility, most global equities posted weak results during the reporting period as economic and geopolitical concerns, as well as recent crisis in the banking industry, affected investor sentiment. U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, returned -7.73%. Global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, returned -7.02%, while emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned -10.70%. Meanwhile, Japanese equities, as represented by the Nikkei 225 Index (in Japanese yen), returned 2.97% and European equities, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index (in euro), returned 3.82% over the reporting period.

Commodity prices were volatile and generated mixed returns during the reporting period. Brent crude oil, which was approximately $109 a barrel at the start of the reporting period, fell to roughly $80 a barrel at the end of March 2023. The price of copper also declined, whereas gold prices moved higher during the reporting period.

Finally, there were also periods of volatility in the foreign exchange markets that we believe were driven by several factors, including economic growth expectations and changing central bank monetary policies, as well as rising inflation, COVID-19 variants, and the banking crisis. The U.S. dollar was stronger against several major currencies over the reporting period. For example, during the reporting period, the U.S. dollar returned 6.29%, 1.22%, and 2.44% versus the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen, respectively.

Important Information About the PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged)

 

PIMCO Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company that includes the PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (the “Fund”).

We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates would negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities and other instruments held by the Fund are likely to decrease in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). In addition, changes in interest rates can be sudden and unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that Fund management will anticipate such movement accurately. The Fund may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates.

As of the date of this report, interest rates in the United States and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, continue to increase. In efforts to combat inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates multiple times in 2022 and has indicated an expectation that it will continue to raise interest rates in 2023. Thus, the Fund currently faces a heightened level of risk associated with rising interest rates and/or bond yields. This could be driven by a variety of factors, including but not limited to central bank monetary policies, changing inflation or real growth rates, general economic conditions, increasing bond issuances or reduced market demand for low yielding investments. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer inventories of corporate bonds are near historic lows in relation to market size. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in the ability of dealers to “make markets.”

Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. All of the factors mentioned above, individually or collectively, could lead to increased volatility and/or lower liquidity in the fixed income markets or negatively impact the Fund’s performance or cause the Fund to incur losses. As a result, the Fund may experience increased shareholder redemptions, which, among other things, could further reduce the net assets of the Fund.

The Fund may be subject to various risks as described in the Fund’s prospectus and in the Principal and Other Risks in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Classifications of Fund portfolio holdings in this report are made according to financial reporting standards. The classification of a particular portfolio holding as shown in the Schedule of Investments and other sections of this report may differ from the classification used for the Fund’s compliance calculations, including those used in the Fund’s prospectus, investment objectives, regulatory, and other investment limitations and policies, which may be based on different asset class, sector or geographical classifications. The Fund is separately monitored for compliance with respect to prospectus and regulatory requirements.

The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report, if any, are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.

Important Information About the PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (Cont.)

 

Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. In 2022, many countries lifted some or all restrictions related to COVID-19. However, the effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers, all of which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Fund’s service providers and disrupt the Fund’s operations.

The United States’ enforcement of restrictions on U.S. investments in certain issuers and tariffs on goods from certain other countries has contributed to and may continue to contribute to international trade tensions and may impact portfolio securities. The United States’ enforcement of sanctions or other similar measures on various Russian entities and persons, and the Russian government’s response, may also negatively impact securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia.

The Fund may have significant exposure to issuers in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union may impact Fund returns. The withdrawal may cause substantial volatility in foreign exchange markets, lead to weakness in the exchange rate of the British pound, result in a sustained period of market uncertainty, and destabilize some or all of the other European Union member countries and/or the Eurozone.

The Fund may invest in certain instruments that rely in some fashion upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is an average interest rate, determined by the ICE Benchmark Administration, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced plans to ultimately phase out the use of LIBOR. There remains uncertainty regarding future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of overnight borrowings through repurchase agreement transactions collateralized with U.S. Treasury securities). Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or on certain instruments in which the Fund invests can be difficult to ascertain, and they may vary depending on a variety of factors. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the Fund or a reduction in the effectiveness of related Fund transactions such as hedges. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Fund.

U.S. and global markets recently have experienced increased volatility, including as a result of the recent failures of certain U.S. and non-U.S. banks, which could be harmful to the Fund and issuers in which it invests. For example, if a bank at which a Fund or issuer has an account fails, any cash or other assets in bank or custody accounts, which may be substantial in size, could be temporarily inaccessible or permanently lost by the Fund or issuer. If a bank that provides a subscription line credit facility, asset-based facility, other credit facility and/or other services to an issuer or to a fund fails, the issuer or fund could be unable to draw funds under its credit facilities or obtain replacement credit facilities or other services from other lending institutions with similar terms.

Issuers in which a Fund may invest can be affected by volatility in the banking sector. Even if banks used by issuers in which the Fund invests remain solvent, continued volatility in the banking sector could contribute to, cause or intensify an economic recession, increase the costs of capital and banking services or result in the issuers being unable to obtain or refinance indebtedness at all or on as favorable terms as could otherwise have been obtained. Conditions in the banking sector are evolving, and the scope of any potential impacts to the Fund and issuers, both from market conditions and also potential legislative or regulatory responses, are uncertain. Such conditions and responses, as well as a changing interest rate environment, can contribute to decreased market liquidity and erode the value of certain holdings, including those of U.S. and non-U.S. banks. Continued market volatility and uncertainty and/or a downturn in market and economic and financial conditions, as a result of developments in the banking sector or otherwise (including as a result of delayed access to cash or credit facilities), could have an adverse impact on the Fund and issuers in which it invests.

On the Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table and Cumulative Returns chart measure performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. The Cumulative Returns chart and Average Annual Total Return table reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the period shown in the Cumulative Returns chart. Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. A CDSC may be imposed in certain circumstances on Class A shares that are purchased without an initial sales charge and then redeemed during the first 12 months after purchase. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC, which may apply in the first year. The Cumulative Returns chart reflects only Institutional Class performance. Performance for I-2, I-3, Administrative Class, Class A, Class C and Class R shares, if applicable, is typically lower than Institutional Class performance due to the lower expenses paid by Institutional Class shares. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. The minimum initial investment amount for Institutional Class, I-2, I-3 and Administrative Class shares is $1,000,000. The minimum initial investment amount for Class A and Class C shares is $1,000. There is no minimum initial investment for Class R shares. The Fund measures its performance against at least one broad-based securities market index (“benchmark index”) and a Lipper Average, which is calculated by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), a Thomson Reuters company, and represents the total return performance average of funds that are tracked by Lipper that have the same fund classification. Benchmark indexes do not take into account fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. There is no assurance that the Fund, even if the Fund has experienced high or unusual performance for one or more periods, will experience similar levels of performance in the future. High performance is defined as a significant increase in either 1) the Fund’s total return in excess of that of the Fund’s benchmark between reporting periods or 2) the Fund’s total return in excess of the Fund’s historical returns between reporting periods. Unusual performance is defined as a significant change in the Fund’s performance as compared to one or more previous reporting periods. Historical performance for the Fund or a share class thereof may have been positively impacted by fee waivers or expense limitations in place during some or all of the periods shown, if applicable. Future performance (including total return or yield) and distributions may be negatively impacted by the expiration or reduction of any such fee waivers or expense limitations.

The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Trust. The Trustees authorize the Trust to enter into service agreements with the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Trust and the Fund. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither this Fund’s prospectus nor summary prospectus, the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), any contracts filed as exhibits to the Trust’s registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings (including this report) from or on behalf of the Trust or the Fund creates a contract between or among any shareholder of the Fund, on the one hand, and the Trust, the Fund, a service provider to the Trust or the Fund, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Trust, on the other hand. The Trustees (or the Trust and its officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend the most recent prospectus or use a new prospectus, summary prospectus or SAI with respect to the Fund or the Trust, and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which the Trust or the Fund is a party, and interpret the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to the Fund, without shareholder input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement is specifically disclosed in the Trust’s then-current prospectus or SAI.

PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Fund. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Fund, and information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30th, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at (888) 87-PIMCO, on the Fund’s website at www.pimco.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov.

The Fund files portfolio holdings information with the SEC on Form N-PORT within 60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Fund’s complete schedule of securities holdings as of the end of each fiscal quarter will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on PIMCO’s website at www.pimco.com, and will be made available, upon request by calling PIMCO at (888) 87-PIMCO.

SEC rules allow shareholder reports to be delivered to investors by providing access to such reports online free of charge and by mailing a notice that the report is electronically available. Investors may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge by contacting their financial intermediary or, if invested directly with the Fund, investors can inform the Fund by calling (888) 87-PIMCO. Any election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with the fund complex if invested directly with the Fund or to all funds held in the investor’s account if invested through a financial intermediary.

In October 2020, the SEC adopted a rule related to the use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies that rescinds and withdraws the guidance of the SEC and its staff regarding asset segregation and cover transactions. Subject to certain exceptions, the rule requires funds that trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations to comply with a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. These requirements may limit the ability of the Fund to use derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions as part of its investment strategies and may increase the cost of the Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. The compliance date for the new rule and related reporting requirements was August 19, 2022.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a rule addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), and the SEC noted that this definition will apply in all contexts under the Act. The effective date for the rule was March 8, 2021. The compliance date for the new rule and the related reporting requirements was September 8, 2022.

In May 2022, the SEC proposed amendments to a current rule governing fund naming conventions. In general, the current rule requires funds with certain types of names to adopt a policy to invest at least 80% of their assets in the type of investment suggested by the name. The proposed amendments would expand the scope of the current rule in a number of ways that would result in an expansion of the types of fund names that would require the fund to adopt an 80% investment policy under the rule. Additionally, the proposed amendments would modify the circumstances under which a fund may deviate from its 80% investment policy and address the use and valuation of derivatives instruments for purposes of the rule. The proposal’s impact on the Fund will not be known unless and until any final rulemaking is adopted.

In May 2022, the SEC proposed a framework that would require certain registered funds (such as the Fund) to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) investing practices. Among other things, the proposed requirements would mandate that funds meeting three pre-defined classifications (i.e., integrated, ESG focused and/or impact funds) provide prospectus and shareholder report disclosure related to the ESG factors, criteria and processes used in managing the fund. The proposal’s impact on the Fund will not be known unless and until any final rulemaking is adopted.

In October 2022, the SEC adopted changes to the mutual fund and ETF shareholder report and registration statement disclosure requirements and the registered fund advertising rules, which will impact the disclosures provided to shareholders. The rule amendments are effective as of

January 24, 2023, but the SEC is providing an 18-month compliance period following the effective date for such amendments other than those addressing fee and expense information in advertisements that might be materially misleading.

In November 2022, the SEC proposed rule amendments which, among other things, would require funds to adopt swing pricing in order to mitigate dilution of shareholders’ interests in a fund by requiring the adjustment of fund net asset value per share to pass on costs stemming from shareholder purchase or redemption activity. In addition the proposed rule would amend the liquidity rule framework. The proposal’s impact on the Fund will not be known unless and until any final rulemaking is adopted.

In November 2022, the SEC adopted amendments to Form N-PX under the Act to improve the utility to investors of proxy voting information reported by mutual funds, ETFs and certain other funds. The rule amendments will expand the scope of funds’ Form N-PX reporting obligations, subject managers to Form N-PX reporting obligations for “Say on Pay” votes, enhance Form N-PX disclosures, permit joint reporting by funds, managers and affiliated managers on Form N-PX; and require website availability of fund proxy voting records. The amendments will become effective on July 1, 2024. Funds and managers will be required to file their first reports covering the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 on amended Form N-PX by August 31, 2024.

The Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD (USD Hedged) Index was first published on January 1, 1998. For periods prior to January 1, 1998, information is based on performance of the Fund’s prior primary benchmark, the JPMorgan GBI Global ex-US Index Hedged in USD.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Differences in the Fund’s performance versus the index and related attribution information with respect to particular categories of securities or individual positions may be attributable, in part, to differences in the pricing methodologies used by the Fund and the index. The adjusted returns take into account the maximum sales charge of 3.75% on Class A shares and 1.00% CDSC on Class C shares. For performance current to the most recent month-end, visit www.pimco.com or via (888) 87-PIMCO.

For periods prior to the inception date of a share class launched subsequent to the Fund’s inception date, the performance information shown is adjusted for the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. The prior Institutional Class performance has been adjusted to reflect the distribution and/or service fees and other expenses paid by each respective share class.

The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio in effect as of period end were 0.51% for the Institutional Class shares, 0.61% for I-2 shares, 0.71% for I-3 shares, 0.76% for Administrative Class shares, 0.91% for Class A shares, 1.66% for Class C shares, and 1.16% for Class R shares. Details regarding any changes to the Fund’s operating expenses, subsequent to period end, can be found in the Fund’s current prospectus, as supplemented.

Investment Objective and Strategy Overview

 

PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management, by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund will invest under normal circumstances in Fixed Income Instruments that are economically tied to at least three non-U.S. countries. The Fund’s investments in Fixed Income Instruments 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. 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. Fund strategies may change from time to time. Please refer to the Fund’s current prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s strategy.

Fund Insights

 

The following affected performance (on a gross basis) during the reporting period:

 

»   Underweight exposure to duration at the front-end of the U.S yield curve contributed to relative performance, as yields rose.

 

»   Underweight exposure to duration in the U.K. contributed to relative performance, as yields rose.

 

»   Underweight exposure to duration in Japan contributed to relative performance, as yields rose.
»   Long exposure to non-agency mortgages, detracted from relative performance, as spreads widened.

 

»   Exposure to subordinated financials particularly in the first half of the reporting period detracted from relative performance, as spreads widened.

 

»   Short exposure to the pound sterling in the second half of the reporting period detracted from relative performance, as the currency appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar.

Expense Example PIMCO International Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged)

 

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, supervisory and administrative fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for all Funds and share classes is from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate row for your share class, in the column titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses or transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees, if any. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the investment advisory fees and supervisory and administrative fees, such as fees and expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

* Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the net annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

** Net Annualized Expense Ratio is reflective of any applicable contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements or voluntary fee waivers. Details regarding fee waivers, if any, can be found in Note 9, Fees and Expenses, in the Notes to Financial Statements.
