COMPOSITE RESULTS: All portfolio statistics represent the Model Composite. Composite results may not include all accounts. Individual account holdings will vary depending on the size of an account, cash flows and account restrictions. These statistics are representative of how the portfolios in the composite are invested as of the indicated date. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. Under no circumstances does the information contained within represent a recommendation to buy or sell securities.

 

Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts manages the PIMCO/Cadence Balanced accounts using model portfolios developed by the sub-advisors, PIMCO and Cadence, as a guide. While Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts generally intends to follow the sub-advisors' recommendations, as the investment manager it has the discretion to accept or reject any investment recommendation and to deviate from the model portfolios. A portion of the fixed-income portfolio is managed by PIMCO directly in the form of commingled vehicles, which are available only through Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts utilizing the Total Return strategy.

 

Earnings growth is the percentage increase or decrease from the prior period's earnings. P/E is a ratio of security price to earnings per share. Typically, an undervalued security is characterized by a low P/E ratio, while an overvalued security is characterized by a high P/E ratio. P/B is a ratio of the current stock price to the book value. This is used to identify undervalued stocks. Portfolio yield is the weighted average dividend yield of the stocks in the portfolio. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity expressed in years. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio, where the overall market is represented by the S & P 500 for equity portfolios. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market.

 

Investing in securities entails risk. 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 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 portfolio 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. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. The guarantee on Treasuries, TIPS and Government Bonds is to the timely repayment of principal and interest. Portfolios that invest in them are not guaranteed. The value of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes, and there is no assurance that private insurers of the underlying mortgages or assets will meet their obligations. With Corporate bonds there is no assurance that issuers will meet their obligations.

 

The PIMCO Total Return Strategy portion of the portfolio consists of individual securities and a select combination of proprietary, commingled vehicles managed by Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts' affiliated investment manager Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO). The investment approach is designed to efficiently model PIMCO's total return strategy that it offers to institutional investors. No fees are charged to clients at the commingled vehicle level.

 

The Barclays Captial Aggregate Bond Index is composed of securities from the Barclays Captial Government/Credit Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, and Asset-Backed Securities Index. It is generally considered to be representative of the domestic, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market. The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that consists of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index and represents approximately 90% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. It is highly correlated with the S& 500 Index.
