Fixed Income Instruments definition
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 average portfolio duration of this fund will vary based on Pacific Investment Management Company LLC’s (“PIMCO”) market forecasts and will normally not exceed one year. 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. In addition, the dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of the fund, under normal circumstances, is expected not to exceed three years. The fund invests primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities (“junk bonds”) rated B or higher by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. (“▇▇▇▇▇’▇”), 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. The fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. 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 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. The fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the fund. The principal risks of investing in the fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are listed below.

More Definitions of Fixed Income Instruments
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. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond’s principal or the interest income paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. The U.S. Treasury uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as the inflation measure. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by a foreign government are generally adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government. “Real return” equals total return less the estimated cost of inflation, which is typically measured by the change in an official inflation measure.

With respect to the Fund’s investment in an ETF, the Fund will look through each ETF to the issuer of the securities held by the ETF, as if the Fund had invested in those securities directly. Similarly, with respect to the Fund’s investment in swap agreements (other than credit default swap agreements), the Fund will look through each swap agreement to the reference issuers that constitute the swap agreement’s reference investment, as if the Fund had invested directly in those issuers in the same proportion to which each issue contributes to the reference investment.
2. The Fund may not issue senior securities or borrow money, except to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Fund normally uses S&P 500 Index derivatives instead of S&P 500 Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund’s net assets. The value of S&P 500 Index derivatives should closely track changes in the value of the S&P 500 Index. However, S&P 500 Index derivatives may be purchased with a small 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 longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. Principal Risks.
