Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of this Fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Fund´s prospectus and summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 888-877-4626. Click here for the Fund´s prospectus or summary prospectus. Please read them carefully before you invest or send money.

The daily section presents performance dating from the inception of the actual share class only.

 

The Core Allocation Fund was reorganized on May 4, 2009, when Allianz Global Investors Multi-Style Fund (the ?Predecessor Fund?) merged into the Core Allocation Fund. The Core Allocation Fund?s Class A performance is the historic performance of the Predecessor Fund?s Class A performance. Prior to the reorganization, the Predecessor Fund had a different subadviser and substantially different principal investment strategies and may not necessarily have achieved the performance results below under its current principal investment strategy.

 

The portfolio'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. Investing in smaller companies may entail greater risk than investing in larger companies, including higher volatility. Investing in foreign securities may entail greater risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. 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. Inflation-linked bonds (ILBs) issued by a government are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation; ILBs decline in value when real interest rates rise. Commodities contain heightened risk including market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions, and may not be suitable for all investors. The underlying funds may at times invest in mortgage-related securities, and may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. 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 those instruments. Although each portfolio normally invests in a number of different underlying funds, it will be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with the individual Fund(s) and any investments in which that Fund concentrates.An investor in a fund of funds will bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in addition to the fees and expenses of the fund of funds, making the expenses of a fund of funds generally higher than a fund which primarily invests directly in equities or fixed income securities. Because certain unaffiliated ETFs and other mutual funds and pooled vehicles may not be advised by Allianz Global Fund Management or its affiliates, there may be less transparency with respect to management strategy, investments and other matters than is the case with affiliated funds.

 

The Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index (MSCI ACWI) is a market capitalization weighted index composed of over 2000 companies. It is representative of the market structure of 22 developed countries in North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. The three major components of this index are the U.S. Aggregate, the Pan-European Aggregate, and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities, and USD investment grade 144A securities.

 

^The Lipper Category returns and rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual fund's returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front- or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

 

Growth of $10,000 and Best/Worst 1-Year Period results are calculated at NAV and assume that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.

 

^^ Average Distribution Yield. This yield is the average of the last four quarterly distribution yields. The quarterly distribution yield is calculated by annualizing the quarter's distribution and dividing by the NAV on the last business day of the period. It does not include long- or short-term capital gains distributions. The SEC Yield is a standardized annual yield based on the most recent 30-day period. It is calculated in accordance with current Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is subject to change.
