Fund Overview
A unique, unconstrained approach to investing in mortgage-backed securities

PIMCO Mortgage Opportunities Fund is an actively-managed bond fund that seeks to generate consistent, absolute returns across full market cycles by investing in a broad array of mortgage-related securities, including agency and non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (MBS).

 

Why Invest In This Fund
Unconstrained approach to mortgage investing

Untethered to a traditional benchmark, the fund has the flexibility to tactically allocate across various subsectors of the U.S. and non-U.S. residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities markets to provide investors with access to PIMCO’s best relative value ideas across the securitized mortgage market.


Flexibility to pursue absolute returns

Targeting attractive absolute returns across full market cycles, the fund’s flexibility and wide duration band (-1 to 8 years) allows for active management of its exposure to interest-rate and credit sensitive mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the fund has the ability to actively manage risk factors, such as interest rate risk and credit risk, based on PIMCO’s macroeconomic outlook.


PIMCO’s deep resources in mortgage-backed securities

PIMCO has been investing in the mortgage-backed securities market for over thirty years and is one of the largest, most sophisticated investors in this space. With one of the deepest mortgage investment teams in the industry, PIMCO’s sector specific specialists cover the entire spectrum of mortgage-related assets.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. This and other information are contained in the fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor or PIMCO representative.  Click here for a complete list of the PIMCO Funds prospectuses and summary prospectuses.

A Word About Risk: 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. 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. 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. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

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.
