should be aware that due to the fluctuating nature of income realization in
these Funds, substantial fourth quarter dividend distributions may result in
order to comply with Internal Revenue Tax Code distribution requirements for
mutual funds. Each of these Funds declare and distribute income dividends
quarterly. As noted in the Funds’ prospectus, "Fund distributions are taxable to
shareholders even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund prior
to the shareholder’s investment and thus were included in the price paid for
the shares. For example, a shareholder who purchases shares on or just before
the record date of a Fund distribution will pay full price for the shares and
may receive a portions of his or her investment back as a taxable
distribution." Dividends for these Funds are scheduled to be paid to
shareholders of record on the record date. Please note that the income
distribution referenced is separate from capital gains that will be distributed
earlier in December to shareholders.
You should also be aware that unforeseen fluctuations in each Fund’s income may
ultimately result in all, or a portion, of the Funds’ income distributions
being classified as a “return of capital” under U.S. tax law. For more
information about distributions, returns of capital, and other tax implications
of distributions, please refer to the PIMCO Funds prospectuses and, in
particular, the sections entitled "Fund Distributions” and “Tax Consequences."
The value of most bond funds and fixed income securities are impacted by changes
in interest rates; bonds and bond funds with longer durations tend to be more
sensitive and more volatile than securities with shorter durations.
Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest
rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be
closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than
the amount invested.
The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. securities, which can
entail greater risks due to non-U.S. economic and political developments. This
risk may be enhanced when investing in Emerging Markets. Investment in a Fund
that invests in high-yield, lower-rated securities, will generally involve
greater volatility and risk to principal than investments in higher-rated
securities.
The Fund offers different share classes, which are subject to different fees
& expenses (which may affect performance), have different minimum
investment requirements and are entitled to different services.
