Fund Overview
Exposure to high-quality longer duration bonds

PIMCO Long-Term Credit Fund invests primarily in long-duration, investment-grade corporate and sovereign bonds. Combining our top-down global macroeconomic analysis with our rigorous credit research, the fund seeks to outperform longer-duration benchmarks without excess volatility.


Why Invest In This Fund
Attractive yield potential

The fund focuses on corporate and credit securities with a longer duration, which is a measure, in years, of a security’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Because this strategy entails greater sensitivity to changing interest rates, it may be used as a core holding for investors with longer term liabilities or those investing based on expected interest rate trends.


Flexibility to enhance returns

The fund has access to a broad investment universe, including sovereign bonds, mortgages and foreign bonds and pursues maximum total return – both income and capital appreciation – using the same time-tested investment process and philosophy that PIMCO applies across all of its investment portfolios.


Intensive credit research

Employing a disciplined approach to credit research, the fund accesses PIMCO’s team of 73 bottom-up credit investment professionals and utilizes top-down, bottom-up and valuation screens to identify the most attractive opportunities in global credit markets as well as trying to mitigate downside risk. Mark Kiesel, the fund manager, is a longtime investment manager who heads the investment grade corporate desk.

A word about risk:
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. 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. 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. Diversification does not ensure against loss.

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.
