The PIMCO RealEstateRealReturn Strategy Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in real estate-linked derivatives backed by a portfolio of inflation indexed bonds and other fixed income securities. The Fund may invest 10% in high yield securities and may invest in foreign securities with up to 30% of its assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. Government, known as TIPS, are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation, which will affect the interest payable on them. Repayment upon maturity of the adjusted principal value is guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Neither the current market value of inflation-indexed bonds nor the share value of a fund that invests in them is guaranteed, and either or both may fluctuate. 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 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. The value of real estate and the funds that invest in real estate may fluctuate due to losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, environmental conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, property tax rates, regulatory limitations on rents, zoning laws and operating expenses. The Fund may also invest directly in real estate investment trusts (REIT), common and preferred stocks, convertible securities of issuers in real estate-related industries, and in foreign securities. REITs and the portfolios that invest in them are subject to risk, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Code. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming. The Funds that invest in convertibles may have to convert before they would otherwise, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets.

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? 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.
