Exhibit g.2

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Fund

This Portfolio Management Agreement is executed as of October 19, 2004 by and between PA FUND MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), and PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Portfolio Manager”).

WITNESSETH:

That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER TO THE FUND.

(a) Subject always to the direction and oversight of the Trustees of PIMCO Floating Rate Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), a Massachusetts business trust, the Portfolio Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund and will make investment decisions on behalf of the Fund and place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and all other investments. In the performance of its duties, the Portfolio Manager (1) will comply with the provisions of the Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, including any amendments thereto (upon receipt of such amendments by the Portfolio Manager), and the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth in its current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (copies of which will be supplied to the Portfolio Manager upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)), (2) will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and (3) will comply with other policies which the Trustees or the Manager, as the case may be, may from time to time determine as promptly as practicable after such policies have been communicated to the Portfolio Manager in writing. The Portfolio Manager and the Manager shall each make its officers and employees available to the other from time to time at reasonable times to review investment policies of the Fund and to consult with each other regarding investment affairs of the Fund.

(b) The Portfolio Manager, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties hereunder faithfully and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment affairs of the Fund, including verification and oversight of the pricing of the Fund’s portfolio (but excluding determination of net asset value and shareholder accounting services).

(c) In the selection of brokers or dealers and the placing of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Fund, the Portfolio Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Portfolio Manager, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including, by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine and communicate to the Portfolio Manager in writing, the Portfolio Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Portfolio Manager or its affiliates an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Portfolio Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Portfolio Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Portfolio Manager and its affiliates as to which the Portfolio Manager and its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Fund agrees that any entity or person associated with the Portfolio Manager or its affiliates which is a member of a national securities exchange is expressly authorized to effect any transaction on such exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”).

(d) The Portfolio Manager shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Fund not expressly assumed by the Portfolio Manager pursuant to this Section 1.

2. OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees, officers and employees of the Fund may be a shareholder, member, director, officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Portfolio Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control with the Portfolio Manager, and that the Portfolio Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Portfolio Manager may have an interest in the Fund. It is also understood that the Portfolio Manager and persons controlled by or under common control with the Portfolio Manager have and may have advisory, management service or other contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have other interests and businesses.

3. COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE MANAGER TO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER.

The Manager will pay the Portfolio Manager as compensation for the Portfolio Manager’s services rendered and for the expenses borne by the Portfolio Manager pursuant to Section 1, a fee computed and paid monthly as follows:

(a) From the period from the commencement of Fund operations through October 31, 2009, the fee shall be paid at the annual rate of 0.39% of the Fund’s average weekly total managed assets; provided, however, that the amounts payable for each month shall be reduced to reflect that the Portfolio Manager will bear sixty-five percent (65%) of the fees payable by the Manager to certain underwriters of the Fund’s common shares other xxxx Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“Qualifying Underwriters”) for such month as specified under “Underwriting” in the definitive prospectus for the initial public offering of the Fund’s common shares;

(b) Beginning November 1, 2009 and thereafter during the term of this Agreement, the fee shall be paid at the annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average weekly total managed assets; provided, however, that the amounts payable for each month shall be reduced to reflect that the Portfolio Manager will bear all (i.e., one-hundred percent (100%)) of the fees payable by the Manager to such Qualifying Underwriters (as described in (a) above) fo such month.

For purposes of this Section 3, “total managed assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings). The average weekly total managed assets of the Fund shall be determined by taking an average of all of the determinations of such amount during such month at the close of business on the last business day of each week during such month while this Agreement is in effect. Such fee from the Manager to the Portfolio Manager shall be payable for each month within 10 business days after the end of the month.

In the event that the Portfolio Manager has agreed to a fee waiver arrangement with the Manager, subject to such terms and conditions as the Manager and the Portfolio Manager may set forth in such agreement, the compensation due the Portfolio Manager hereunder shall be reduced to the extent required by such fee waiver arrangement.

If the Portfolio Manager shall serve for less than the whole of a month, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.
