* Allianz RCM Global EcoTrendsSM Fund is an interval fund, a type of closed-end fund that limits when investors can sell shares, in part, to give the manager more flexibility in managing the underlying assets. Interval funds have limited liquidity because they provide periodic repurchase offers rather than daily redemptions, and they are not publicly traded. However, shares of the Fund are continuously offered and available for daily purchase at net asset value, plus the applicable sales charge. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management (AGIFM) serves as the investment manager of the Fund. AGIFM retains its affiliate, RCM Capital Management LLC (RCM), to manage the Fund’s portfolio and RCM, in turn, retains its affiliate, Allianz Global Investors Advisory GmbH (AGIA) to conduct the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Fund’s distributor is Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC.
