Investment objective & strategy

As of April 25, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Portfolio seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management.

Strategy. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments. The Portfolio will invest under normal circumstances in Fixed Income Instruments that are economically tied to at least three non-U.S. countries. The Portfolios investments in Fixed Income Instruments may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. 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. PIMCO selects the Portfolios foreign country and currency compositions based on an evaluation of various factors, including, but not limited to, relative interest rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current … The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments. The Portfolio will invest under normal circumstances in Fixed Income Instruments that are economically tied to at least three non-U.S. countries. The Portfolios investments in Fixed Income Instruments may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. 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. PIMCO selects the Portfolios foreign country and currency compositions based on an evaluation of various factors, including, but not limited to, relative interest rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances. The average portfolio duration of this Portfolio normally varies within three years (plus or minus) of the portfolio duration of the securities comprising the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD (USD Unhedged) Index, as calculated by PIMCO, which as of February 28, 2025 was 7.00 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to changes in interest rates. The longer a securitys duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities (junk bonds), as rated by Moodys Ratings (Moodys), Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch), or, if unrated, as determined by PIMCO. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Portfolio 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 Portfolios prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Portfolio 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 buybacks or dollar rolls). The total return sought by the Portfolio consists of income earned on the Portfolios investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates, foreign currency appreciation, or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security. The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities.
