Fund Overview
Summary
A high quality approach to tax-advantaged income potential
A tax-sensitive approach to investing can provide tangible advantages for investors seeking current income, especially for those in higher marginal tax brackets. Targeting a diverse portfolio of high quality municipal bonds, the fund aims to deliver high levels of federal and, in some cases, state tax-exempt income, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal.
Why Invest In This Fund
Potential for strong-after tax income
Tax-exempt municipal bonds can offer attractive income to investors in higher tax brackets since the after-tax yield of municipals is often greater than the yield on taxable securities of similar maturities and credit quality. The fund is designed to help investors pursue tax-efficient income by investing in high quality municipal bonds.
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.
