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 Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Xxxxx’x”), 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.
