Fund Overview
A focus on high quality global investing opportunities

Actively managed to maximize total return potential and minimize volatility relative to its market benchmark, PIMCO Global Bond Fund (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) offers investors access to intermediate-duration fixed income securities, primarily from investment grade issuers in developed countries.


Why Invest In This Fund
A global opportunity set

Broadly diversified, the fund captures attractive risk-adjusted returns in the global bond market universe. Diversifying investments internationally not only helps to mitigate volatility, but may also provide an effective hedge against risks in other asset classes, such as equities. Of course, diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.


A high-quality focus

Guided by PIMCO’s global perspective and on-the-ground insights into country fundamentals, the fund invests in a range of primarily investment grade bonds, hedging at least 80% of its foreign currency exposure to protect against unfavorable currency movements.


A time-tested investment process

PIMCO’s team of investment professionals has estimable global experience navigating complex foreign sovereign debt and local currency markets. Supported by a deep international presence, the fund capitalizes on PIMCO’s thought-leadership and time-tested investment process, which guide portfolio construction via our top-down macroeconomic outlook and a rigorous bottom-up credit analysis.

A word about risk:
Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations, and economic and political risks, which may be enhanced in emerging markets. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Mortgage and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, subject to early repayment risk, and their value may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness; while generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee there is no assurance that private guarantors will meet their obligations. High-yield, lower-rated, securities involve greater risk than higher-rated securities; portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not. Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions. 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 is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. For funds with at least a 3-yr history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees) with an emphasis on downward variations and consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is a weighted average of the performance figures for its 3-, 5- and 10-yr (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Morningstar, Inc.® 2011. All rights reserved.
