The PIMCO Income Fund normally invests a majority of its assets in a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities representing a broad array of fixed income sectors, including U.S. and non-U.S. corporate and government securities, asset-backed securities, and foreign currencies. The Fund may invest without limit in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest to a limited extent in securities of issuers based in countries with developing or emerging market economies. 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 will normally limit its foreign currency exposure. Mortgage backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. 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.

The Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in high yield securities rated below investment grade. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. The Fund may invest all of its assets in derivative instruments. Use of these 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 interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate it assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

PIMCO's average credit quality statistic is intended to provide clients with helpful insight into a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in credit spreads. In general, instruments are weighted at their market value. Certain derivatives, such as swaps, are weighted at "bond equivalent value", which is the notional amount of the instrument adjusted by the current gain or loss on the position. The two "legs" of a swap are included separately in the calculation. The "risky" leg (e.g. the fixed leg for interest rate swaps or the reference entity for credit default swaps) is assigned a credit rating associated with the regional market (for interest rate swaps) or reference entity (for credit default swaps) of the instrument. The "floating" leg is assigned a short-term rating of A1/P1.
