AGREEMENT made this 5th day of May, 2000 between PIMCO Advisors L.P. (the

WHEREAS, PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (the "Trust") is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an open-end, management
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and
regulations thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to issue shares of beneficial interest
("Shares") in separate series, with each such series representing interests in a
separate portfolio; and
WHEREAS, the Trust has established multiple series, including operational
series and series that are expected to be operational; and
WHEREAS, the Portfolio Manager is registered with the SEC as an investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "Advisers Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Portfolio Manager is regulated in the conduct of investment
business in the United Kingdom by Investment Management Regulatory Organization;
and
WHEREAS, the Trust has retained the Adviser to render management services
to the Trust's series pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of
May 5, 2000, and such Agreement authorizes the Adviser to engage sub-advisers to
discharge the Adviser's responsibilities with respect to the management of such
series; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to retain the Portfolio Manager to furnish
investment advisory services to one or more of the series of the Trust, and the
Portfolio Manager is willing to furnish such services to such series and the
Adviser in the manner and on the terms hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the promises and mutual
covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the Adviser and the Portfolio
Manager as follows:
1. Appointment. The Adviser hereby appoints Blairlogie Capital
-----------
Management to act as Portfolio Manager to PIMCO International Fund (the "Fund")
for the periods and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Portfolio
Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish the services herein set
forth for the compensation herein provided.
In the event the Adviser wishes to retain the Portfolio Manager to render
investment advisory services to one or more series of the Trust other than the
Fund, the Adviser shall notify
the Portfolio Manager in writing. If the Portfolio Manager is willing to render
such services, it shall notify the Adviser in writing, whereupon such series
shall become a Fund hereunder, and be subject to this Agreement.
2. Portfolio Management Duties. Subject to the supervision of the
---------------------------
Trust's Board of Trustees and the Adviser, the Portfolio Manager will provide a
continuous investment program for the Fund and determine the composition of the
assets of the Fund, including determination of the purchase, retention, or sale
of the securities, cash, and other investments for the Fund. The Portfolio
Manager will provide investment research and analysis, which may consist of
computerized investment methodology, and will conduct a continuous program of
evaluation, investment, sales, and reinvestment of the Fund's assets by
determining the securities and other investments that shall be purchased,
entered into, sold, closed, or exchanged for the Fund, when these transactions
should be executed, and what portion of the assets of the Fund should be held in
the various securities and other investments in which it may invest, and the
Portfolio Manager is hereby authorized to execute and perform such services on
behalf of the Fund. To the extent permitted by the investment policies of the
Fund, the Portfolio Manager shall make decisions for the Fund as to foreign
currency matters and make determinations as to the retention or disposition of
foreign currencies or securities or other instruments denominated in foreign
currencies, or derivative instruments based upon foreign currencies, including
forward foreign currency contracts and options and futures on foreign currencies
and shall execute and perform the same on behalf of the Fund. The Portfolio
Manager will provide the services under this Agreement in accordance with the
Fund's investment objective or objectives, investment policies, and investment
restrictions as stated in the Trust's registration statement filed on Form N-1A
with the SEC, as supplemented or amended from time to time (the "Registration
Statement"), copies of which shall be sent to the Portfolio Manager by the
Adviser. In performing these duties, the Portfolio Manager:
(a) Shall conform with the 1940 Act and all rules and regulations
thereunder, all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations,
with any applicable procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees,
and with the provisions of the Registration Statement, as supplemented or
amended from time to time.
(b) Shall use reasonable efforts to manage the Fund so that it
qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code").
(c) Is responsible, in connection with its responsibilities under
this Section 2, for decisions to buy and sell securities and other
investments for the Fund, for broker-dealer and futures commission merchant
("FCM") selection, and for negotiation of commission rates. The Portfolio
Manager's primary consideration in effecting a security or other
transaction will be to obtain the best execution for the Fund, taking into
account the factors specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for the Trust, as they may be amended or supplemented from time
to time. Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees may determine
and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
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
-2-
having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer, acting as agent, for
effecting a portfolio transaction at a price 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 its other clients
as to which it exercises investment discretion. To the extent consistent
with these standards, and in accordance with Section 11(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder,
and subject to any other applicable laws and regulations, the Portfolio
Manager is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf
of the Fund to the Portfolio Manager if it is registered as a broker or
dealer with the SEC, to its affiliate that is registered as a broker or
dealer with the SEC, or to such brokers and dealers that also provide
research or statistical research and material, or other services to the
Fund or the Portfolio Manager. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and
proportions as the Portfolio Manager shall determine consistent with the
above standards, and, upon request, the Portfolio Manager will report on
said allocation to the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
indicating the brokers or dealers to which such allocations have been made
and the basis therefor.
(d) May, on occasions when the purchase or sale of a security is
deemed to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as any other
investment advisory clients, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be
sold or purchased with those of its other clients where such aggregation is
not inconsistent with the policies set forth in the Registration Statement.
In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well
as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Portfolio
Manager in a manner that is fair and equitable in the judgment of the
Portfolio Manager in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Trust
and to such other clients.
(e) Will, in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for
the Fund, arrange for the transmission to the custodian for the Trust on a
daily basis, such confirmations, trade tickets, and other documents and
information, including, but not limited to, Cusip, Sedol, or other numbers
that identify securities to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Fund, as
may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian to perform its
administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund,
and, with respect to portfolio securities to be purchased or sold through
the Depository Trust Company, will arrange for the automatic transmission
of the confirmation of such trades to the Trust's custodian.
(f) Will assist the custodian and recordkeeping agent(s) for the
Trust in determining or confirming, consistent with the procedures and
policies stated in the Registration Statement, the value of any portfolio
securities or other assets of the Fund for which the custodian and
recordkeeping agent(s) seek assistance from the Portfolio Manager or
identify for review by the Portfolio Manager.
-3-
(g) Will make available to the Trust and the Adviser, promptly upon
request, any of the Fund's investment records and ledgers as are necessary
to assist the Trust to comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the
Advisers Act, as well as other applicable laws, and will furnish to
regulatory authorities having the requisite authority any information or
reports in connection with such services which may be requested in order to
ascertain whether the operations of the Trust are being conducted in a
manner consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(h) Will regularly report to the Trust's Board of Trustees on the
investment program for the Fund and the issuers and securities represented
in the Fund's portfolio, and will furnish the Trust's Board of Trustees
with respect to the Fund such periodic and special reports as the Trustees
may reasonably request.
(i) Shall be responsible for making reasonable inquiries and for
reasonably ensuring that any employee of the Portfolio Manager has not, to
the best of the Portfolio Manager's knowledge:
(i) been convicted, in the last ten (10) years, of any felony or
misdemeanor involving the purchase or sale of any security or arising
out of such person's conduct as an underwriter, broker, dealer,
investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, government securities
broker, government securities dealer, transfer agent, or entity or
person required to be registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, or
as an affiliated person, salesman, or employee of any investment
company, bank, insurance company, or entity or person required to be
registered under the Commodity Exchange Act; or
(ii been permanently or temporarily enjoined by reason of any
misconduct, by order, judgment, or decree of any court of competent
jurisdiction from acting as an underwriter, broker, dealer, investment
adviser, municipal securities dealer, government securities broker,
government securities dealer, transfer agent, or entity or person
required to be registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, or as an
affiliated person, salesman or employee of any investment company,
bank, insurance company, or entity or person required to be registered
under the Commodity Exchange Act, or from engaging in or continuing
any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in
connection with the purchase or sale of any security.
