Please read this prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.

 

This Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in MSCI EAFE Index derivatives, backed by a portfolio of fixed income instruments. It may invest up to 30% in foreign currency denominated securities. Investing in foreign securities may entail greater risk due to foreign economic and political developments. 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. This fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds based on the MSCI EAFE Index. Exchange-traded funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. This fund is non-diversified, which means it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest up to 10% in high yield securities. 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.

 

This is not intended as a recommendation, offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. References to specific sectors, securities or issuers are for illustrative purposes only. All holdings are subject to change daily. All share classes have the same portfolio but different expenses.

 

Risk Section Source: IDS GmbH-Analysis and Reporting Services, an investment analysis and reporting service which is a subsidiary of Allianz SE. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the unmanaged index which is the fund?s official benchmark in its prospectus. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. 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. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.

 

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.
