Fund Overview
Summary

Taking an innovative approach to large-cap investing, the Fund combines active and passive management in S&P 500 derivatives, such as futures and swaps, collateralized by an actively managed portfolio of long-term bonds. The strategy offers broad participation in the growth potential of U.S. stocks, potential diversification benefits and access to PIMCO’s expertise in seeking positive excess return.  


Why Invest In This Fund
StocksPLUS: More than an index fund

A traditional index fund typically invests in all, or a representative sample, of the stocks in an index in an effort to replicate the return of the index. PIMCO StocksPLUS Long Duration Fund seeks to outperform the index by employing a unique, bond-centric strategy. It does this by purchasing low-cost S&P 500 derivatives and backing this exposure with an actively managed portfolio of diversified long-duration bonds. 


Expert management

The fund offers the combined benefit of PIMCO's 40 years of active bond management and two decades of passive, index-linked investment expertise.


Diverse roles in a portfolio

The Fund can serve as a strong core equity choice in an overall portfolio, complementing both fixed income holdings and traditional equity investments.

A word about risk:
Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions. 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. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. 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. 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.

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; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise.

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.

Hollow stars represent a class of shares with inception dates that is different than the inception date of the fund. For the period prior to the inception date of these shares, performance information is based on the performance of the fund’s Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the actual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other expenses paid by the newer share class.
