Fund Overview
Summary

Tax-advantaged income potential for California investors

A tax-sensitive approach to investing can provide tangible advantages for investors seeking current income, especially for those in higher marginal tax brackets. Investing primarily in high quality California municipal bonds, the fund aims to deliver high levels of tax-free income at federal and California state levels, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal.


Why Invest In This Fund
Potential for attractive tax-efficient income

For investors in higher tax brackets, municipals can offer greater after-tax yields than taxable securities of similar maturities and credit quality. The fund pursues attractive tax-efficient income by investing in high quality municipals and generates interest that is typically exempt from both federal and California state income taxes.


Targeting opportunities in a transformed municipal market

The fund targets relative value opportunities and protection of principal through extensive credit research, which has become critical to municipal bond investing. Additionally, lower new issue supply has made high quality, well-priced bonds more difficult to source for individual investors. PIMCO’s substantial market presence can provide investors with better market access.

PIMCO has been managing municipal assets since 1997 and we are among the largest investors in the space today. Headed by Joe Deane, a municipal bond expert with more than four decades of experience, the fund takes advantage of PIMCO’s rigorous investment process and vast resources.

A word about risk: Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, and inflation risk. 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. 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. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax; a strategy concentrating in a single or limited number of states is subject to greater risk of adverse economic conditions and regulatory changes. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. 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. 

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.
