The primary objective of the Fund is to seek total return comprised of capital appreciation, current income and gains. The Fund's Equity Component will ordinarily consist of common stocks, but may also include other types of equity securities, including preferred stocks, depository receipts, rights and warrants. The Fund ordinarily expects to focus its equity investments in companies with larger market capitalizations in relation to other companies in their particular markets, but may invest in securities of companies of any size. The non-U.S. companies in which the Fund invests may have market capitalizations that are small in relation to larger U.S. companies. Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. The Fund may purchase securities in initial public offerings.

The Fund's Convertible Component will ordinarily consist principally of income-producing convertible securities of U.S and non-U.S. issuers, including bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, and other securities or investments that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or issuer) into equity securities of the issuer (or cash or securities of equivalent value), as well as synthetic convertible securities. Investing in convertible securities may entail risk. The Funds that invest in convertibles may have to convert the securities before they would otherwise, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. The Convertible Component may include convertible and other debt securities that are of below investment grade quality. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds.

The Fund will employ its Option Strategy by writing (selling) call options on stocks held in the Equity Component and on equity indexes. The Fund may also utilize other derivative strategies involving call and put options, futures and forward contracts, swap agreements, short sales and other derivative instruments for investment purposes or in an attempt to hedge against market and other risks in the portfolio. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments.

When using index options, Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC ("NACM") will attempt to maintain for the Fund written call options positions on equity indexes whose price movements, taken in the aggregate, are closely correlated with the price movements of corresponding stocks and other securities held in the Fund's Equity Component. However, this strategy involves significant risk that the changes in value of the indexes underlying the Fund's written index call options positions will not correlate closely with changes in the market value of securities held by the Fund. To the extent that there is a lack of correlation, movements in the indexes underlying the options positions may result in net losses to the Fund which exceed any gains received by the Fund from options premiums and any increase in value of the Fund's corresponding portfolio securities.

Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value, expressing the result as a percent change. The calculation assumes that all distributions during the period have been reinvested on the payable dates, at NAV or at market price according to how the returns are labeled. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Dividend Yield (Market) is calculated by annualizing the most recent regular distribution per share and dividing by the closing market price listed above. The Fund's distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Distribution rates on Fund common shares are subject to change and are not a quotation of fund performance. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions.
