Model and Composite Characteristics: This strategy was introduced in June 2004 with a different manager for one of the sleeves. This sleeve was replaced in October of 2005. Accordingly, there are no statistics yet for actual managed accounts in this strategy. All portfolio results represent a hypothetical combination of model portfolios for the individual component strategies, except for Top Holdings which are based on a hypothetical combination of composites for the individual component strategies. Actual account holdings and percentages will vary depending on the size of an account, cash flows, account restrictions, and changes in securities characteristics including price movements and timing of transactions. At any time an individual account managed in this strategy may not include certain securities held by the model portfolio or contained in the composite. Consequently, any particular account may have portfolio characteristics and performance that differ from the model portfolio. This material is not an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument and is not a recommendation. It is presented only to provide information on investment strategies of the portfolio manager. Securities are presented to illustrate companies in which the portfolio may or has invested. Holdings are subject to change daily without notice. Certain projected characteristics (such as the forward P/E ratio) of the strategies and indices shown have been estimated in this material. Estimated data reflect subjective judgments and assumptions and unexpected events may occur. Therefore, there can be no assurance that developments will transpire as forecasted.
The model account is a hypothetical portfolio and does not represent actual trading or investment decisions made under real market conditions. As a result, this information cannot completely account for the impact that real market conditions or economic factors would have had on an actual portfolio or on an investment manager's decisions. The securities in the model account represent recommendations as of a specific date and may or may not be included in an actual account.
Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts manages the Merrill Lynch Multi-Firm Consults Diversified Portfolio (CDP) VI accounts using model portfolios developed by the sub-advisors, Neuberger Berman, NFJ, Cadence and OpCap, as a guide. While Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts generally intends to follow the sub-advisors' recommendations, as the account manager it has the discretion to accept or reject any investment recommendation and to deviate from the model portfolios.
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. 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 as a result of factors independent of the market. Portfolio yield is the weighted average dividend yield of the stocks in the portfolio.
Investing in securities entails risk. When investing in value securities, the market may not necessarily have the same value assessment as the manager, and, therefore, the performance of the securities may decline. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investing in non-US. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets.
