Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any mutual fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the fund´s prospectus, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor. Click here for a complete list of the PIMCO Funds prospectuses. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

Each sector of the bond market entails risk. The guarantee on Treasuries, TIPS and Government Bonds is to the timely repayment of principal and interest. Shares of mutual funds that invest in them are not guaranteed. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. With Corporate bonds there is no assurance that issuers will meet their obligations. 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. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk as a result of foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. In an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value.

A mutual fund of fund’s performance will depend on how its assets are allocated and reallocated among underlying Funds and other investments. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be achieved. The allocation among those Funds will vary, and the Fund may be subject to any and all of the following risks at different times and to different degrees. The cost of investing in the fund-of-funds will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.

A Fund’s 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.
