Fund Overview
Fortify purchasing power for retirement

A suite of target-date funds created specifically with retirees’ future sustainable spending needs in mind, PIMCO RealRetirement Funds offer the potential to preserve and enhance purchasing power over time, by emphasizing real, or inflation-adjusted, returns and by aiming to generate more reliable results across different market cycles.


Why Invest In This Fund
Build purchasing power

Whether upward movements in consumer prices are slow and steady, or they spike suddenly, inflation is a major threat to long-term savings, eroding the purchasing power needed for one’s retirement. The fund seeks to defend investors against the impact of inflation during their investment years in order to sustain spending later on.


Manage risk over time

Unlike target-date funds with high equity concentrations that may expose investors to unacceptable levels of risk, PIMCO’s glide path, or allocation strategy, is designed to target risk exposures that do not exceed an investor’s capacity for loss. The fund is managed to aggressively reduce its exposure to equities and other high risk/return assets as the target date approaches.


Guard against market shocks

Major market shocks, or “tail risk events,” may cause asset class values to drop broadly. For a person close to, or in, retirement, this type of dramatic setback can devastate career-long savings. To help protect against market shocks, the fund employs investment tools or strategies designed to offset risks to the portfolio, should those events occur.

A word about risk:
The PIMCO RealRetirement Funds are a fund of funds investing in multiple sectors of the bond market including Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, high-yield bonds.  The funds will also invest in funds specializing in commodities, real estate, small-capitalization firms, international and emerging markets, and commodity and real estate-linked derivatives.  Inflation-linked bonds (ILBs) issued by a government are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation; ILBs decline in value when real interest rates rise.  Commodities contain heightened risk including market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions, and may not be suitable for all investors.

Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk.  Concentrating investments in individual sectors, countries, or states may add additional risk and additional volatility compared to a diversified equity portfolio.  Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy.  Use of derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so.  Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.  Diversification does not assure a profit or protect 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.
