Exhibit G.2
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund
This Portfolio Management Agreement is executed as of June __, 2001 by and
between PIMCO ADVISORS L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (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
California Municipal Income 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 Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, including
any amendments thereto (upon receipt of such amendments by the
Portfolio Manager), and the investment objectives, 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 ("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
-1-
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.
(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 at
the annual rate of 0.370% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund
(including daily net assets attributable to any preferred shares of the
Fund that may be outstanding). Such fee shall be payable for each month
within 10 business days after the end of such 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.
4. ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

penalty, in the event of its assignment or in the event that the Investment
Management Agreement between the Manager and the Fund shall have terminated
