Fund Overview
A high quality bond holding for long-term investors

This fund concentrates on long-term U.S. government securities, giving it a high average credit quality and attractive performance potential compared to shorter-term bonds. Because this strategy entails greater sensitivity to changing interest rates, it may be used as a core holding for risk-tolerant investors or to help position a portfolio for expected interest rate trends.


Why Invest In This Fund
A high credit quality investment

U.S. government securities offer income and capital appreciation potential with low credit risk, since it is considered highly unlikely that the U.S. would default on its obligations. Note that while the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. government securities, its shares are not government-guaranteed and they will fluctuate in value.


Distinctive total return approach

Many U.S. government funds focus solely on providing current income. But focusing on income alone can mean sacrificing opportunities to protect and grow capital. This fund 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.


Expert portfolio management

The fund is managed by Stephen Rodosky, lead portfolio manager for long-duration strategies and a government securities expert. Consistent with PIMCO’s philosophy, it employs numerous strategies to increase total return potential and manage risk. These include duration and yield curve management, which are especially important to long-duration portfolios.

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. Certain U.S. Government securities are backed by the full faith of the government, obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees but are generally not backed by the full faith of the U.S. Government; portfolios that invest in such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate in value. 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. 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.
