Fund Overview
Access to a distinct asset class focused on the rapid growth of emerging markets

With emerging markets poised to be the growth engine of the global economy over the coming years, corporate bonds issued in emerging market countries- especially from companies helping to enhance economic growth in the region- tend to offer the potential for higher risk-adjusted returns relative to other global fixed income sectors.


Why Invest In This Fund
Exposure to a distinct, dynamic asset class

Strong economic growth and rapid urbanization have created opportunities for companies able to capitalize on these trends. Many of the bonds issued by these companies offer attractive risk/reward profiles relative to broader emerging market debt and may provide diversification benefits to an overall portfolio.


Emphasis on bonds with strong credit fundamentals

Although EM corporate issuers cover a wide range in credit quality the asset class, in aggregate, is investment grade. The fund seeks to maintain a similar orientation, focusing on higher quality companies with strong underlying credit fundamentals. The portfolio looks to avoid overconcentration by diversifying across countries, industries and issuers.


Extensive emerging markets experience

PIMCO’s emerging markets team averages 12 years of experience in investing and EM economic policy, spanning a diverse range of market environments. The team is strategically located around the world in order to identify opportunities in a wide range of local markets and respond quickly to changing conditions in emerging economies.

A word about risk:
Infrastructure entities are involved in the construction, operation, ownership or maintenance of physical structures, networks and other infrastructure assets that provide public services; infrastructure entities, projects and assets may be sensitive to adverse economic, regulatory, political or other developments and may be subject to a variety of events that adversely affect their business or operations. 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. 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.
