A Word About Risk: A fund may be subject to various risks as described in its prospectus. Some of those risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: derivatives risk, smaller company risk, non-US investment risk, focused investment risk and specific sector investment risks. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, management risk and the risk that a fund is unable to close out a position when it is most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and additional volatility compared to a diversified equity portfolio. AllianzGI target-date funds seek to manage risk and return by blending two separately-managed portfolios: a return-generating portfolio for growth potential, and a defensive portfolio for principal protection. The balance grows increasingly defensive over time until the target date is reached, after which the Fund’s assets roll into a retirement income strategy. The principal values of the Funds are not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. Please refer to the Fund’s applicable current prospectus for complete details.

Letter from the President

Thomas J. Fuccillo

President & CEO

Dear Shareholder,

The US economy continued to expand during the reporting period. Despite highly accommodative monetary policies set by central banks around the world, growth in many developed foreign countries was relatively tepid. A sharp rally late in the period caused stocks to generate a positive return for the six-months ended March 31, 2016. The global bond market also moved higher during the reporting period.

Six Months in Review

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, US stocks, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, gained 8.49%. Two measures of stock performance in developed international and global markets, the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia and Far East) Index and the MSCI World Index, returned 1.56% and 5.13% respectively, in dollar-denominated terms. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 6.41%. With respect to bonds, the Barclays US Credit Index gained 3.38%, whereas the Barclays Global High Yield Index rose 3.22%. The Barclays US Government Bond Index returned 2.18%, while the broader bond market index, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, gained 2.44%. The Barclays Global Aggregate Index returned 4.92%.

Turning to the US economy, gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, grew at an annual pace of 2.0% during the third quarter of 2015. US economic activity then decelerated, as the US Department of Commerce (“Commerce Department”) reported that GDP grew at an annual pace of 1.4% for the fourth quarter of 2015. The Commerce Department’s initial 2016 GDP reading, released after the reporting period had ended, showed that GDP grew at an annual pace of 0.5% for the first quarter of 2016.

After a prolonged period of accommodative monetary policy, the US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade at its meeting in December 2015. The US central bank boosted the federal funds rate from a range between 0% and 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%. In its official statement following its meeting in December the Fed said, “The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative after this increase, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2 percent inflation. The [Federal Open Market] Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run.” The Fed then chose to keep rates on hold at its meetings in January, March and April (after the reporting period ended) 2016.

Outlook

In our view, the opportunities and risks on the horizon for 2016 are similar to those that emerged in 2015. Economic growth will likely remain muted and monetary policy should stay extremely benign, even as the US takes a divergent path. Over the course of 2015, volatility returned to markets and correlations between many asset classes broke down. We expect more of this in 2016, as policy and politics highlight differences in the global economy. As 2015 progressed, estimates for global GDP growth were steadily revised lower. Our expectations for 2016 remain cautious, given the ongoing environment of financial repression. The US delivered mixed results in 2015 and we foresee a similar outcome in 2016, with the economy expanding 2%-2.5%.

We continue to advocate holding on to risk assets relative to bonds over the long run. However, there are several headwinds at this juncture, including future Fed rate hikes, above average valuations in some asset classes that are above historical averages, low earnings growth, liquidity and political risks. Against this backdrop, we believe we’re in a low return environment. We will remain flexible and active to put our shareholders in a position to benefit from volatility at an asset-class level. As always, our investment teams will use in-depth research and focus on quality and sustainability to help them navigate the markets.

On behalf of Allianz Global Investors Fund Management and our Sub-Advisers, thank you for investing with us. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor and to visit our website, us.allianzgi.com, for additional information. We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

AllianzGI Target-Date Funds*

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Multi-Asset US Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at net asset value (“NAV”) of the AllianzGI Target-Date Funds (the “Funds”) returned between 3.57% and 4.22% with longer dated Funds posting more favorable results. In terms of relative performance, the AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund outperformed its respective benchmark index (Morningstar Lifetime Conservative series) while the AllianzGI Retirement 2020 – 2055 Funds trailed their respective benchmark indices for the period.

Market Overview

For the reporting period, global equities outperformed US bonds by the performance of the MSCI ACWI (5.28%), and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (2.44%). The environment was particularly volatile for global equities, as they started the period with a rally during the fourth quarter of 2015 after the MSCI ACWI posted the year’s lows in September. Global equities then declined sharply in the first quarter of 2016 before staging a strong rally into the end of the reporting period.

After posting the year’s low on September 29, 2015, global equities rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the MSCI ACWI rising 5.03% over the quarter (after dropping -9.45% in the third quarter of 2015). The rally was led by US equities as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, rising 6.27%, while developed markets outside the US, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 4.71%. In other market segments, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) were a bright spot, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index rose 7.54% over the fourth quarter, but the Bloomberg Commodity Index (-10.52%) conversely declined. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index declined -0.57% over the fourth quarter of 2015. With the widely anticipated Fed Funds Rate hike taking place in December 2015 ending an era of zero interest rates, the 10 year Treasury yield (constant maturity) ended the year with a yield of 2.27%, up from 2.06% where it started the quarter. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments all declined over the fourth quarter with treasuries (-0.9%) posting the most notable loss followed by corporate bonds (-0.6%) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) (-0.1%).

The first quarter of 2016 was more volatile for global equities. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as a dovish policy stance from the Fed, helped markets to recover in March. Most equity markets ended the quarter with modest losses, although the US and many emerging markets recorded positive returns. US Equities, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, finished the quarter up 0.97%, while many markets outside the US struggled, as reflected by the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) ending the quarter lower by -3.01%. The MSCI EAFE Index declined more in local currency terms, reflecting dollar weakness over the period. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index gained 3.03%, while the 10 year Treasury yield fell back below 2.0%. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments posted gains over the quarter with corporate bonds (+4.0%) and treasuries (+3.2%) leading the way, followed by MBS (+2.0%). Credit markets experienced a volatile quarter, mirroring the movement in equity markets.

Portfolio Review

Exposure to global equities was roughly in line with each Fund’s benchmark index; while the Funds were underweight US nominal bonds in favor of US inflation linked securities. With regards to fixed income, the Funds were positioned with overweights to credit and underweights to duration. Within global equities, the Funds were modestly underweight the US, while international exposure, including emerging markets, were slightly overweight. Opportunistic asset classes such as real estate, commodities and the AllianzGI Structured Return Fund, were also held by the Funds over the reporting period.

In the fixed income portion of each Fund, relative performance contributions were mixed, but ultimately trailed each Fund’s benchmark index. The effect can be primarily traced to the first quarter of 2016, when underweights to nominal bonds in the US and non-US bonds served to limit the Funds’ participation in the positive returns of those asset classes. Conversely, the emphasis on inflation linked securities was a tailwind over the period as US Treasury Inflated Protected Securities (“TIPS”) generally outperformed nominal bonds over the period.

In the equity portion of each Fund, allocation and stock selection effects were also mixed over the reporting period, but ultimately detracted from results. The result was primarily due to underweights in the US equity portion of each Fund, particularly at the end of the reporting period where strong returns were achieved. The Funds also included opportunistic exposures to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), which posted strong returns over the period, contributing to relative results. Conversely, commodity exposure detracted, as commodities declined significantly over the fourth quarter of 2015.

In aggregate, the Funds’ underweight to US equities detracted from results, most notably observed in Funds farther from the target date. The Funds’ underweight to US equities was also observed in nearer dated Funds, while the underweight to the favorable returns of nominal bonds in the US and non-US bonds detracted from relative results more so in the nearer dated Funds.

Outlook

Risks have risen, but we do not believe the global economy is heading toward recession. In the US, while odds of an April 2016 interest rate hike are low, we believe that the outlook for growth and inflation will prompt the Fed to raise rates twice in 2016. Against this backdrop, we expect global monetary policy to remain accommodative. The recovery in commodities has helped stabilize some of the stress points in the world economy, which should support inflation and growth. Still, we believe the existence of economic and political uncertainties will likely result in persistent volatility.

* The “Target-Date Funds” are the AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2020 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2025 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2030 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2035 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2040 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2045 Fund, the AllianzGI Retirement 2050 Fund, and the AllianzGI Retirement 2055 Fund.

* Cumulative return

** Effective April 1, 2015, the Funds’ benchmark index changed from the Real Return Target series (white label) to the Morningstar Lifetime Conservative series, as the Morningstar Lifetime Conservative series is considered to be a better representation of the Funds’ investment strategies. Previously, the Real Return Target series replaced the Dow Jones Real Retirement series. This change was due to a decision by the index provider to discontinue the Index. With this mid-period change, differences between the two benchmarks should be considered for purposes of performance comparison.

AllianzGI Retirement Income Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Multi-Asset US Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Retirement Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.66% outperforming the Morningstar Lifetime Conservative Income Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 2.82%.

Market Overview

For the reporting period, global equities outperformed US bonds, demonstrated by the performance of the MSCI ACWI (5.28%), and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (+2.44%). The environment was particularly volatile for global equities, as they started the period with a rally during the fourth quarter of 2015 after the MSCI ACWI posted the year’s lows in September. Global equities then declined sharply in the first quarter of 2016 before staging a strong rally into the end of the reporting period.

After posting the year’s low on September 29, 2015, global equities rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the MSCI ACWI rising 5.03% over the quarter (after dropping -9.45% in the third quarter of 2015). The rally was led by US equities as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, rising 6.27%, while developed markets outside the US, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 4.71%. In other market segments, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) were a bright spot, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index rose 7.54% over the fourth quarter, but the Bloomberg Commodity Index (-10.52%) conversely declined. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index declined -0.57% over the fourth quarter of 2015. With the widely anticipated Fed Funds Rate hike taking place in December 2015 ending an era of zero interest rates, the 10 year Treasury yield (constant maturity) ended the year with a yield of 2.27%, up from 2.06% where it started the quarter. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments all declined over the fourth quarter with treasuries (-0.9%) posting the most notable loss followed by corporate bonds (-0.6%) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) (-0.1%).

The first quarter of 2016 was more volatile for global equities. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as a dovish policy stance from the Fed, helped markets to recover in March. Most equity markets ended the quarter with modest losses, although the US and many emerging markets recorded positive returns. US Equities, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, finished the quarter up 0.97%, while many markets outside the US struggled, as reflected by the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) ending the quarter lower by -3.01%. The MSCI EAFE Index declined more in local currency terms, reflecting dollar weakness over the period. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index gained 3.03%, while the 10 year Treasury yield fell back below 2.0%. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments posted gains over the quarter with corporate bonds (+4.0%) and treasuries (+3.2%) leading the way, followed by MBS (+2.0%). Credit markets experienced a volatile quarter, mirroring the movement in equity markets.

Portfolio Review

Exposure to global equities were modestly above the benchmark index, while the Fund was underweight US nominal bonds in favor of US inflation linked securities. With regards to fixed income, the Fund was positioned with underweights to duration and inflation linked securities in favor of credits. Within global equities, the modest overweight was distributed across regions with the US receiving the greatest overweight for the majority of the reporting period. In addition, exposure to high yield debt was added toward the latter half of the reporting period.

In the fixed income portion of the Fund, relative performance contributions were mixed and ultimately ended roughly in line with the benchmark index. During the reporting period, an allocation toward shorter duration credits contributed, while an underweight to inflation linked issues was a headwind to relative results as they generally outperformed nominal issues.

In the equity portion of the Fund, allocation effects contributed to the overall result. The overweight to global equities across regions benefited results as global equities gained ground. The overweight included an emphasis on US equities which posted the strongest returns across regions. The Fund also included opportunistic exposures to high yield in the first quarter of 2016, which posted strong returns during the holding period contributing to relative results.

In aggregate, the Fund’s overweight to global equities, with particular emphasis on the US, provided the most notable tailwind to performance over the reporting period. Relative to the benchmark index, the Fund entered the period with a modest overweight to global equities, and remains underweight to inflation linked bonds in the US in favor of short term credit.

Outlook

Risks have risen, but we do not believe the global economy is heading toward recession. In the US, while odds of an April 2016 interest rate hike are low, we believe that the outlook for growth and inflation will prompt the Fed to raise rates twice in 2016. Against this backdrop, we expect global monetary policy to remain accommodative. The recovery in commodities has helped stabilize some of the stress points in the world economy, which should support inflation and growth. Still, we believe the existence of economic and political uncertainties will likely result in persistent volatility.

** Effective April 1, 2015, the Funds’ benchmark index changed from the Real Return Target series (white label) to the Morningstar Lifetime Conservative series, as the Morningstar Lifetime Conservative series is considered to be a better representation of the Funds’ investment strategies. Previously, the Real Return Target series replaced the Dow Jones Real Retirement series. This change was due to a decision by the index provider to discontinue the Index. With this mid-period change, differences between the two benchmarks should be considered for purposes of performance comparison.

AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Multi-Asset US Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.23%, underperforming the 60% MSCI AC World Index and 40% Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.33%.

Market Overview

For the reporting period, global equities outperformed US bonds, demonstrated by the performance of the MSCI ACWI (5.28%), and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (+2.44%). The environment was particularly volatile for global equities, as they started the period with a rally during the fourth quarter of 2015 after the MSCI ACWI posted the year’s lows in September. Global equities then declined sharply in the first quarter of 2016 before staging a strong rally into the end of the reporting period.

After posting the year’s low on September 29, 2015, global equities rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the MSCI ACWI rising 5.03% over the quarter (after dropping -9.45% in the third quarter of 2015). The rally was led by US equities as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, rising 6.27%, while developed markets outside the US, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 4.71%. In other market segments, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) were a bright spot, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index rose 7.54% over the fourth quarter, but the Bloomberg Commodity Index (-10.52%) conversely declined. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index declined -0.57% over the fourth quarter of 2015. With the widely anticipated Fed Funds Rate hike taking place in December 2015 ending an era of zero interest rates, the 10 year Treasury yield (constant maturity) ended the year with a yield of 2.27%, up from 2.06% where it started the quarter. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments all declined over the fourth quarter with treasuries (-0.9%) posting the most notable loss followed by corporate bonds (-0.6%) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) (-0.1%).

The first quarter of 2016 was more volatile for global equities. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as a dovish policy stance from the Fed, helped markets to recover in March. Most equity markets ended the quarter with modest losses, although the US and many emerging markets recorded positive returns. US Equities, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, finished the quarter up 0.97%, while many markets outside the US struggled, as reflected by the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) ending the quarter lower by -3.01%. The MSCI EAFE Index declined more in local currency terms, reflecting dollar weakness over the period. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index gained 3.03%, while the 10 year Treasury yield fell back below 2.0%. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments posted gains over the quarter with corporate bonds (+4.0%) and treasuries (+3.2%) leading the way, followed by MBS (+2.0%). Credit markets experienced a volatile quarter, mirroring the movement in equity markets.

Portfolio Review

Amidst a volatile period that started with global equities rallying off the lows of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016’s sharp correction followed by a rebound, the Fund was actively adjusted to the changing market environment. Entering the reporting period, the Fund’s defensive positioning reflected prior declines of our market cycle and economic cycle and valuation indicators, which were adjusted down from positive to more neutral on risk assets amidst the global equity sell-off in the third quarter of 2015. As markets surged in October 2015 and readings from our proprietary indicators moved to a more neutral position in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Fund’s equity exposure was accordingly adjusted closer to the benchmark index. The Fund’s fixed income exposure was accordingly adjusted down over the quarter. Contributing to the Fund’s overall defensive positioning was exposure to Italian government bonds in the opportunistic portion of the portfolio, as well as more defensive cash and equivalents. As global equities declined during the first half of the first quarter of 2016, the Fund’s equity momentum signals adjusted downward, leading to reduced exposure to both US and international equities. As the rebound in March was also reflected in the momentum signals, the Fund’s equity exposure was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a more modest underweight to global equities. Fixed income positioning was accordingly adjusted higher in the flight to safety and through the end of the reporting period.

While the Fund’s results ultimately trailed the benchmark index, performance included a combination of contributors and detractors. The overall relative result can be primarily traced to the equity portion of the Fund, where a combination of allocation and selection effects detracted. From an allocation perspective, the underweight to global equities early in the reporting period limited relative results as equities rallied in October 2015. The defensive positioning entering the reporting period included an overweight toward US government bonds, which was also a headwind as government bond yields rose in anticipation of the Fed rate hike which occurred later in the quarter. The Fund’s equity exposure was again reduced into the first quarter’s decline, although the underweight leading into the March 2015 rally again limited relative results. There were also several contributors which benefited the Fund’s performance over the reporting period. Ahead of the sharp decline in the first quarter of 2016 the Fund’s generally defensive posture, including underweights to international equities and an overweight to US government bonds, helped to limit the Fund’s participation in the early market decline. From a selection perspective, favorable relative performance from the international equity exposure in the AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund, particularly in the first quarter of 2016, provided a modest tailwind to results.

Outlook

Risks have risen, but we do not believe the global economy is heading toward recession. In the US, while odds of an April interest rate hike are low, we believe that the outlook for growth and inflation will prompt the Fed to raise rates twice in 2016. Against this backdrop, we expect global monetary policy to remain accommodative. The recovery in commodities has helped stabilize some of the stress points in the world economy, which should support inflation and growth. Still, we believe the existence of economic and political uncertainties will likely result in persistent volatility.

From an investment perspective, the Fund entered the second quarter with a modest underweight to global equities in favor of US government bonds. Meanwhile, in the opportunistic portion of the portfolio exposure to emerging market debt and Italian government bonds contributed to the overall duration.

AllianzGI Global Dynamic Allocation Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Multi-Asset US Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Dynamic Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.98%, underperforming the 60% MSCI AC World Index and 40% Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.33%.

Market Overview

For the reporting period, global equities outperformed US bonds, demonstrated by the performance of the MSCI ACWI (5.28%), and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (+2.44%). The environment was particularly volatile for global equities, as they started the period with a rally during the fourth quarter of 2015 after the MSCI ACWI posted the year’s lows in September. Global equities then declined sharply in the first quarter of 2016 before staging a strong rally into the end of the reporting period.

After posting the year’s low on September 29, 2015, global equities rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the MSCI ACWI rising 5.03% over the quarter (after dropping -9.45% in the third quarter of 2015). The rally was led by US equities as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, rising 6.27%, while developed markets outside the US, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 4.71%. In other market segments, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) were a bright spot, as the Dow Jones US Select REIT Index rose 7.54% over the fourth quarter, but the Bloomberg Commodity Index (-10.52%) conversely declined. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index declined -0.57% over the fourth quarter of 2015. With the widely anticipated Fed Funds Rate hike taking place in December 2015 ending an era of zero interest rates, the 10 year Treasury yield (constant maturity) ended the year with a yield of 2.27%, up from 2.06% where it started the quarter. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments all declined over the fourth quarter with treasuries (-0.9%) posting the most notable loss followed by corporate bonds (-0.6%) and mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) (-0.1%).

The first quarter of 2016 was more volatile for global equities. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as a dovish policy stance from the Fed, helped markets to recover in March. Most equity markets ended the quarter with modest losses, although the US and many emerging markets recorded positive returns. US Equities, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, finished the quarter up 0.97%, while many markets outside the US struggled, as reflected by the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) ending the quarter lower by -3.01%. The MSCI EAFE Index declined more in local currency terms, reflecting dollar weakness over the period. In US Fixed Income, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index gained 3.03%, while the 10 year Treasury yield fell back below 2.0%. The Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s major segments posted gains over the quarter with corporate bonds (+4.0%) and treasuries (+3.2%) leading the way, followed by MBS (+2.0%). Credit markets experienced a volatile quarter, mirroring the movement in equity markets.

Portfolio Review

Amidst a volatile period that started with global equities rallying off the lows of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016’s sharp correction followed by a rebound, the Fund was actively adjusted to the changing market environment. Entering the reporting period, the Fund’s defensive positioning reflected prior declines of our market cycle and economic cycle and valuation indicators, which were adjusted down from positive to more neutral on risk assets amidst the global equity sell-off in the third quarter of 2015. As markets surged back in October 2015 and readings from our proprietary indicators moved to a more neutral position in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Fund’s equity exposure was accordingly adjusted closer to the benchmark index. Fixed income exposure was accordingly adjusted down over the quarter. Contributing to the Fund’s overall defensive positioning was exposure to Italian government bonds in the opportunistic portion of the portfolio, as well as more defensive cash and equivalents. As global equities declined during the first quarter of 2016, equity momentum signals adjusted downward, leading to reduced exposure to both US and international equities. As the March 2016 rebound was also reflected in the momentum signals, the Fund’s equity exposure was adjusted accordingly, to end with a more modest underweight to global equities. Fixed income positioning was accordingly adjusted higher in the flight to safety and through the end of the reporting period.

While the Fund’s results ultimately trailed the benchmark index, performance included a combination of contributors and detractors. The overall relative result can be primarily traced to the equity portion of the Fund, where a combination of allocation and selection effects detracted. From an allocation perspective, the underweight to global equities early in the reporting period limited relative results as equities rallied in October 2015. The defensive positioning entering the reporting period included an overweight toward US government bonds, which was also a headwind as government bond yields rose in anticipation of the Fed rate hike which occurred later in the quarter. The Fund’s equity exposure was again reduced into the first quarter’s decline although the underweight leading into the March 2016 rally again limited relative results. There were also several contributors which benefited the Fund’s performance over the period. Ahead of the sharp decline in the first quarter of 2016, generally defensive posture including underweights to international equities and an overweight to US government bonds helped to limit the Fund’s participation in the early market decline. From a selection perspective, favorable relative performance from the AllianzGI Best Styles International Equity Fund, particularly in the first quarter of 2016, provided a modest tailwind to results.

Outlook

Risks have risen, but we do not believe the global economy is heading toward recession. In the US, while odds of an April interest rate hike are low, we believe that the outlook for growth and inflation will prompt the Fed to raise rates twice in 2016. Against this backdrop, we expect global monetary policy to remain accommodative. The recovery in commodities has helped stabilize some of the stress points in the world economy, which should support inflation and growth. Still, we believe the existence of economic and political uncertainties will likely result in persistent volatility.

From an investment perspective, the Fund entered the second quarter with a modest underweight to global equities in favor of US government bonds. The exposure to REITs in the opportunistic portion of the portfolio contributed to the overall equity exposure, while emerging market debt contributed to overall duration.

AllianzGI Global Megatrends Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by John Schroer, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Megatrends Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.54%, underperforming the MSCI ACWI (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.28%.

The Fund is a thematic portfolio made up of five underlying strategies (“sleeves”). Rapid technological innovation, developments in health care and global energy, the emerging consumer class in developing economies and the scarcity of clean water for the world’s growing population remain powerful themes. The Fund provides a unique way to invest in them.

Below is a summary of the underlying thematics and contributions over the reporting period.

AllianzGI Emerging Markets Consumer Fund:

The Emerging Markets Consumer sleeve was essentially flat over the reporting period, which masked a major sell-off and impressive rebound. Emerging market equities abruptly reversed course in late January, boosted by a turnaround in sentiment, higher energy prices, a weaker dollar and dovish central bank expectations. Large-cap, pro-cyclical, deep-value stocks were among the best performers due to the rapid shift in sentiment and preference for higher-beta exposure, which had been a laggard in previous periods.

While volatility is likely to persist, we anticipate the uptrend to continue, as the asset class offers a significant valuation discount with regards to developed markets, despite superior levels of expected earnings growth. We expect the market to broaden to capture the more steady growth companies, and notably the forward-looking growth of the consumer segments of the market.

AllianzGI Global Natural Resources Fund:

The Global Natural Resources sleeve produced a positive, low single-digit return. Oil investors had to contend with conflicting reports on the outlook for supply and demand. West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”)—a benchmark for US crude—sank as low as $26 per barrel in February before rebounding sharply to close the quarter above $38 per barrel.

Many of the stronger performing stocks were oil and gas exploration and production companies that rebounded sharply as the price of crude recovered. Continental Resources, for example, has very high leverage to an improving oil price, and a much improved risk/return profile.

Detractors were largely miscellaneous in nature. Some smaller companies held back performance on balance sheet concerns as energy prices cascaded downwards in the earlier part of the reporting period. Alternative energy positions also faced pressure throughout the reporting period.

Over the longer term, we currently expect oil prices to normalize in the $60 to $70 range. The aggressive production cutbacks that have been announced in the last six months, particularly in North American shale drilling and other higher cost global drilling projects, should work to firm the oversupply currently in the marketplace.

AllianzGI Global Water Fund:

The Global Water sleeve generated a return of just over 11%. The Global Water Fund’s performance was largely attributable to our preference for defensive names in this segment, along with structural growth drivers in their business models.

Top holdings in the sleeve include a mix of high-growth US, UK and European water utilities as well as leading water industrial companies, which are levered to the steadily growing US water infrastructure market after years of pent-up demand. We generally favor water companies that sell into structurally attractive end-markets such as safety or medical industries.

Headlines around the world about water shortages and their impact on societies have become more prevalent. The need for investment in US water infrastructure is also gaining more attention, and we saw another prominent example of a neglected water supply situation in Flint, Michigan.

European water capex remains depressed and well below sustainable levels, although we expect a return to growth similar to that in the US with some delay. Once Europe and the US are fully back in normal water infrastructure investment mode, this will bring back two very large customers for water equipment products which have held back spending since 2009.

AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund:

The Health Sciences sleeve lost just over 6.5%, held back primarily by the overall performance headwinds facing the health care sector. Biopharma stocks have recently been hurt by multiple compression for growth stocks generally, and the focus on drug pricing from both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. However, we expect the negative rhetoric for drug pricing to cool substantially after the election. We see only a limited chance of substantive drug pricing regulation materializing longer term.

We think the long term investment outlook for global healthcare remains highly compelling, with biopharma being one of the most promising areas. We are relatively overweight biopharma and have been opportunistically adding to positions on the weakness.

AllianzGI Global Megatrends Fund (cont’d)

 

We continue to focus on companies and healthcare industries delivering innovative and profitable drug treatments and cost effective, productivity-enhancing medical solutions.

AllianzGI Technology Fund:

Growth expectations have fallen for most companies in the technology sector, particularly relative to the high growth rates they have been experiencing over the last several years. However, we think this process is reducing expectations and valuations to quite reasonable levels, particularly for companies able to continue growing rapidly.

Stocks in the electronic equipment, technology hardware, semiconductors, and IT services segments were among the best performing groups. Conversely, higher growing internet software and software groups held back relative performance.

Despite the tremendous volatility in high-growth technology stocks over the reporting period, the technology sleeve returned over 6%. At present, we are seeing a wave of innovation in the sector along with companies with valuations that, in our view, do not fully reflect positive company and/or industry-specific tailwinds.

Despite high valuations for some cloud and internet companies, we continue to see massive addressable markets and multi-year growth opportunities. We are carefully balancing risks and opportunities, leveraging our industry expertise, and emphasizing individual stock selection.

AllianzGI Best Styles Emerging Markets Equity Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Dr. Michael Heldmann, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class R6 shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Best Styles Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.69%, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.41%.

Market Overview

Volatility was quite prevalent during the reporting period as a looming Fed rate hike and continued commodity weakness weighed on emerging markets. During the second half of the reporting period, volatility was most pronounced, with equity indices globally sliding into bear market territory as the first Fed rate hike in nearly a decade weighed on investor sentiment. This, coupled with concerns in the energy sector, in particular oil prices sliding to a bottom in early January, led to a pronounced sell-off.

Portfolio Review

The Fund implemented a well-diversified blend of the five long-term investment styles, emphasizing value, momentum, earnings change, growth and quality, and as such, established stable exposures to contrarian and trend-following investment styles.

It was a tale of two halves from a style perspective as trend following styles did well in the first half with value slightly negative, but in the second half momentum and revisions turned negative as the market became choppier and value and small cap did well.

The initial weakness in contrarian investment styles like dividend yield, cash yield and free-cash-yield, made for significant returns in the second half of the reporting period, as energy and commodity prices rebounded significantly as investors became less risk averse. Strength continued into the close of the reporting period.

The Best Styles strategy has only moderate leeway for sector allocation, with a maximum deviation of 4% versus the benchmark index for active sector weightings. The overall contribution from active sector allocation was consistently small for the Fund’s strategy over the reporting period, hence the main contribution to performance came from stock selection. While stock selection was positive across the financials, materials, telecom and energy sectors, it was outweighed by weak stock picking within the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors.

From a regional point of view, the overall contribution from active weightings was slightly positive. Overweights in Argentina and Turkey contributed to performance while underweights in China and South Africa detracted from performance.

The Fund holds a broad number of stocks to implement a well diversified mix of investment styles and assigns a maximum active weighting of 1% to individual stocks. Thus, the performance impact of individual stocks is lower for the Fund as compared to concentrated portfolios. In sum, the performance contribution from stock selection was strong over the reporting period.

AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Dr. Rainer Tafelmayer, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.28%, underperforming the MSCI ACWI (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.28%.

Market Overview

Volatility was quite prevalent during the reporting period as a looming Fed rate hike and continued commodity weakness weighed on markets. During the second half of the reporting period, volatility was most pronounced, with equity indices globally sliding into bear market territory as the first Fed rate hike in nearly a decade weighed on investor sentiment. This, coupled with concerns in the energy sector, in particular oil prices sliding to a bottom in early January, led to a pronounced sell-off.

Portfolio Review

The Fund implemented a well-diversified blend of the five long-term investment styles, emphasizing value, momentum, earnings change, growth and quality, and as such, established stable exposures to contrarian and trend-following investment styles.

It was a tale of two halves from a style perspective as trend following styles did well in the first half with value slightly negative, but in the second half momentum and revisions turned negative as the market became choppier and value and small cap did well.

The Best Styles strategy has only moderate leeway for sector allocation with a maximum deviation of 3% versus the benchmark index for active sector weightings. Sector and stock selection modestly weighed on performance. Overweights in the utilities, telecom and consumer discretionary sectors helped performance. Underweights in the consumer staples, energy, technology, and industrials sectors weighed on performance. Stock picks in utilities, consumer staples, health care, and telecom helped performance. Picks in technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, and financials detracted from performance.

Regional selection was additive to performance with overweights in Japan and Turkey, both contributing to performance. Underweights in the US and Russia detracted from performance.

The Fund holds a broad number of stocks to implement a well diversified mix of investment styles and assigns a maximum active weighting of 1% to individual stocks. Thus, the performance impact of individual stocks is lower for the Fund as compared to concentrated portfolios.

AllianzGI Best Styles International Equity Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Dr. Michael Heldmann, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class R6 shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Best Styles International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.23%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.56%.

Market Overview

Volatility was quite prevalent during the reporting period, as a looming Fed rate hike and continued commodity weakness weighed on markets. During the second half of the reporting period volatility was most pronounced, with equity indices globally sliding into bear market territory as the first Fed rate hike in nearly a decade weighed on investor sentiment. This, coupled with concerns in the energy sector, in particular oil prices sliding to a bottom in early January, led to a pronounced sell-off.

Portfolio Review

The Fund implemented a well diversified blend of the five long-term investment styles, emphasizing value, momentum, earnings change, growth and quality, and as such, established stable exposures to contrarian and trend-following investment styles.

In the first half of the reporting period, the Fund benefited from all investment styles with only momentum being somewhat weaker in Japan. Small cap exposure helped during the first half of the reporting period as well. Weakness in contrarian investment styles like dividend yield, cash yield and free-cash-yield, were buoyed by favorable trend-following investment style patterns in Europe and Japan during the second half of the reporting period.

The Best Styles strategy has only moderate leeway for sector allocation, with a maximum deviation of 3% versus the benchmark index for active sector weightings. The overall contribution from active sector allocation was consistently small for the Fund’s strategy over the reporting period, hence the main contribution to performance came from stock selection. Stock selection was strong within the financials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials sectors and contributed to performance. Conversely, stock selection within the industrials, health care, utilities and energy sectors detracted from performance.

From a regional point of view, the overall contribution from active weightings was slightly positive. Overweights in Germany and Switzerland added slightly to performance while underweights to the UK and France modestly detracted.

The Fund holds a broad number of stocks to implement a well diversified mix of investment styles and assigns a maximum active weighting of 1% to individual stocks. Thus, the performance impact of individual stocks is lower for the Fund as compared to concentrated portfolios. In sum, the performance contribution from stock selection was strong over the reporting period.

AllianzGI Best Styles U.S. Equity Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Karsten Niemann, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class R6 shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Best Styles U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 6.07%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.49%.

Market Overview

Volatility was quite prevalent during the reporting period as a looming fed rate hike and continued commodity weakness weighed on markets. During the second half of the reporting period, volatility was most pronounced, with equity indices globally sliding into bear market territory as the first Fed rate hike in nearly a decade weighed on investor sentiment. This, coupled with concerns in the energy sector, in particular oil prices sliding to a bottom in early January, led to a pronounced sell-off.

Portfolio Review

The Fund implemented a well diversified blend of the five long-term investment styles, emphasizing value, momentum, earnings change, growth and quality, and as such, established stable exposures to contrarian and trend-following investment styles.

In the first half of the reporting period, all investment styles except growth weighed on performance. Cyclical investment styles like value and small cap were pushed down by worries over the global economy with trend following strategies like momentum and earnings also underperforming to some extent especially in October 2015. In the second half of the reporting period, bottom-line higher risk investment styles like value and small caps did reasonably well in the US, however, the underperformance of the trend following investment strategies momentum and earnings revision was much more pronounced. Therefore, the positives from value and small caps did not outweigh the relative losses from the trend following styles.

The Best Styles strategy has only moderate leeway for sector allocation with a maximum deviation of 3% versus the benchmark index for active sector weightings. Sector weightings during the reporting period modestly detracted from performance. Stock picks was the primary detractor of performance this year. Stock picks in financials, health care, utilities, and telecom lead were additive to performance. Picks in technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, and energy detracted.

The Fund holds a broad number of stocks to implement a well diversified mix of investment styles and assigns a maximum active weighting of 1% to individual stocks. Thus, the performance impact of individual stocks is lower for the Fund as compared to concentrated portfolios.

AllianzGI China Equity Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Christina Chung, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI China Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.60%, outperforming the MSCI China Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -0.97%.

Market Overview

Chinese equities continued to experience a roller coaster ride over the reporting period. While the Chinese economy stayed on the path of slowing economic growth, sentiment toward this market has had several reversals that were much more dramatic than the change in underlying fundamentals. Such sentiment swings were primarily driven by fear and greed—fear of Renminbi depreciation, an economic hard landing, capital flight and elevated levels of debt; this is offset by investors trying to time the bottom as an entry point if the situation turns out to be less worrying than anticipated.

To be more specific, in the last quarter of 2015, Chinese equities rebounded after the sharp correction in the third quarter. This was mainly driven by further monetary easing from the People’s Bank of China (“PBoC”), as well as the announcement from the International Monetary Fund to add the Chinese currency to the basket of currencies that make up its lending reserve.

However, in January 2016, bearish sentiment took stage when China A-shares dropped by more than 15% within the first half of the month after two rounds of ‘circuit breakers’. The new, well-intended mechanism ironically helped to amplify market corrections, and was abandoned immediately. A sudden depreciation of the Renminbi also raised concern among investors of further capital flight which will weigh on the exchange rate.

Since mid-February 2016, sentiment seems to have stabilized and showed signs of improvement. One of the main reasons was the weakness in the US dollar, which allowed the Renminbi to stabilize and alleviated some of the previous concerns on capital outflows. Moving into March 2016, there was also a growing degree of comfort regarding the economic outlook, especially with reassuring messages by the top leadership in China to make growth a priority.

As a result of the sentiment reversals, the equity market also experienced frequent sector rotation. For example, the rallies in late 2015 and since mid-February 2016 were led by previous laggards, including banks, materials and energy stocks.

Portfolio Review

Over the reporting period there was a significant style reversal in the market, with previous outperforming sectors giving back some of their relative gains. For example ‘structural growth’ sectors such as life insurance, environmental engineering, natural gas distributors and railway related companies underperformed; whereas ‘deep value’ sectors such as energy and materials held up very well. With the Fund’s focus on stocks with secular, structural growth potential, the Fund suffered from the rotation. However, this was balanced by strong stock selection in the IT, consumer and telecom sectors.

Among the top contributors was Digital China, a small cap IT service provider. We have been a long-term investor of this company, believing its business transition from IT distribution towards IT services should significantly re-rate the company from an oversold level. In recent months, our expectations started to materialize, with the company announcing plans to spin off its distribution business. The move has been received positively by the market, and its share price continued its appreciation from late 2015. We will continue to hold onto this name as its share price is likely to remain well supported ahead of the special dividend in April 2016.

In contrast, China Everbright International, a leading waste and water treatment company in China, was a notable detractor. In particular, investors were concerned about the company’s US dollar debt exposure and delay in project completion. We have invested in this company since 2010. Fundamentally we believe the underlying business is robust, the balance sheet is strong and the management has an excellent track record of executing on its new projects. The recent derating of the share price has brought valuations back to attractive levels, especially considering earnings growth of more than 20% for the next three years.

AllianzGI Convertible Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Doug Forsyth, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A Shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Convertible Fund returned -1.54%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -0.73%.

Market Overview

Several factors influenced convertible bonds earlier in the reporting period, most notably energy prices, the impact of credit spreads on bond-like or yield-oriented convertibles, the Fed’s rate hike, US economic data and the strong US dollar.

While the energy sector represents only about 5% of the convertible market by issuance, the decline in energy prices early in the period was a significant drag on the convertible market. Additionally, as credit spreads widened, the majority of bond-like or yield-oriented convertible issues declined. The market reaction to the Fed’s rate hike was generally negative given fears of a US recession. Against this backdrop, the US dollar has strengthened and weighed on earnings trends of multinationals and on US exports, which coincided with the decline in many commodity prices.

In the latter part of the reporting period, the performance of the convertible market recovered significantly. The most notable factors were the Fed’s outlook and commentary, US economic data, global conditions and technical factors.

The Fed’s activity topped the list of concerns about an already fragile US economy slowing further, but so far in 2016 the Fed has kept additional rate hikes on hold due to market volatility and weakness outside the US. After some hawkish rhetoric by some Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) members following their March 2016 meeting, Fed Chair Janet Yellen quickly reversed those interpretations with some heavily dovish comments of her own. Other factors benefiting the convertible market were a weaker dollar and, concurrently, higher commodity prices. As those prices, specifically crude oil prices, increased, market sentiment also rose. These changes were bolstered by a continuing positive employment trend, that when taken in conjunction with other economic statistics, create a positive backdrop for the current economic condition in the US. On balance, these factors helped the convertible market stage a strong comeback.

Three offshore factors also helped sentiment. First, the ECB presented some stronger-than-expected economic stimulus tools to help calm fears in Europe. The ECB’s current monetary policy is decidedly aggressive and provides evidence that the current regime will provide any and all necessary means to boost the European economy. Second, Chinese officials made several comments that helped abate concerns about growth and foreign exchange policies. And third, several oil producing countries discussed capping production; this was another factor that influenced the direction of oil prices.

Portfolio Review

The Fund underperformed the benchmark index for the reporting period.

The attribution for the reporting period included several positive single name performers from a variety of industries. The majority of the Fund’s issuers exceeded earnings expectations, which contributed to absolute performance during the reporting period.

Sector allocations that helped relative performance in the reporting period included consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples. The Fund benefited from an underweight in the energy sector and an overweight in the consumer staples sector. In the consumer discretionary sector, issue selection was the primary driver of relative performance.

Sector allocations that hurt relative performance during the reporting period included financials, utilities and technology. All three of the above mentioned sectors exhibited negative issue selection. Underweights in the utilities and financials sectors detracted from relative returns.

AllianzGI Emerging Markets Consumer Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Lu Yu, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Emerging Markets Consumer Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.40%, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.41%.

Market Overview

During the reporting period, the macroeconomic environment for emerging markets equities was particularly divergent. The benchmark index rallied more than 7% in October 2015 as investor sentiment rapidly improved following declines in the prior five months. The exuberance moderated over the last two months of 2015, with concerns of slowing global growth and impact from the Fed rate hike resulting in a nearly 4% decline in November and a greater than 2% decline in December. The new year was met with extreme pessimism, with the asset class declining 20% through the first three weeks of January 2016. Emerging market equities witnessed a sharp turnaround in performance, rallying the last week of the month amid higher energy prices, a weaker dollar and dovish central bank expectations. The asset class oscillated in February only to see a significant rebound in March, resulting in a 13% advance. During the reporting period, large-cap, pro-cyclical, deep-value stocks were among the best performers due to the rapid shift in sentiment and preference for higher-beta exposure which had been a laggard in previous periods.

During the reporting period, Indonesia was the top benchmark index performer with a greater than 34% advance due in part to favorable growth projections and a rebound in commodity activity, followed closely by Hungary which was up nearly 31%. Brazilian shares saw high levels of volatility and a rebound in the later part of the reporting period. This volatility was due to improving energy prices and speculation that President Dilma Rousseff may be impeached, suggesting that her eventual successor may help turnaround slowing growth and higher inflation levels that have plagued the country. Meanwhile, perennial debt issues and slowing economic conditions led to a nearly 29% decline in Greece. Sector results were led by pro-cyclical segments, including double-digit advances in energy, materials and information technology. Meanwhile, the industrials sector was flat during the reporting period.

Portfolio Review

The Fund is strategically focused on local emerging markets consumption while avoiding hard-asset and export-oriented stocks which do not capture the secular growth of the rising middle class. The Fund lagged the benchmark index during the reporting period due to more conservative stock selection and a strategic avoidance of energy, materials and utilities, which were three of the top four performers for the benchmark index. As such, the level of underperformance is not unexpected, especially given the extreme beta-led rally in March 2016.

During the reporting period, the telecommunication services sector contributed positively to performance thanks to stock selection, followed closely by information technology as a result of positive stock picking in the internet software & services industry. Meanwhile, more conservative short-term stock selection in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors offset results, as did an overweight allocation to the health care sector. From a country standpoint, emerging market-related securities in Australia contributed to performance, as did stock selection in China. Conversely, stock selection in Taiwan, Brazil, India and South Korea was decidedly negative during the reporting period. The largest individual active contributor to performance was Top Glove Corporation Bhd. The Malaysian manufacturer of latex, vinyl and nitrile gloves for health care and consumer-related applications rallied thanks to quarterly profits which topped Street expectations, benefiting from lower input prices and a strengthening US dollar. Australian winemaker Treasure Wine Estates Ltd. was higher as a result of strong demand in China which led to better than expected earnings. The largest active detractor was Brazilian meat processor JBS S.A., which declined due to the combination of profits missing analyst expectations as well as several of the company’s executives being accused of wrongdoing related to a series of loans. Indian drug manufacturer Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. declined after receiving a warning letter from the US Food and Drug Administration over a handful of the company’s manufacturing facilities.

AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Greg Saichin, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.20%, underperforming the 40% JPM EMBI Global Diversified, 40% JPM CEMBI Broad Diversified, 20% JPM GBI EM Diversified Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.49%.

Performance Note:

Our flexible approach to investment enables us to allocate across six defined alpha sub-strategies: the sovereign and quasi-sovereign, local currency, corporate credit, arbitrage, income and momentum strategies. Through dynamic management, risk is allocated across these strategies within the portfolio in order to achieve maximized returns on a risk adjusted basis. While the blended benchmark is offered for relative comparison, the fund is managed on a total return, rather than a benchmark basis.

Portfolio Review

Over the reporting period, the emerging markets hard currency sovereign debt universe posted a 5.98% return and hard currency corporate debt posted a 4.17% return. Relative to the US dollar, emerging markets local currencies outperformed and were the best returning asset class in emerging market debt, with the GBI EM-GD index returning 10.49% for the period. The local currency index continued to perform poorly throughout the fourth quarter of 2015, returning -0.48% through the end of the quarter and extending declines through January 20, 2016. From that point, it rebounded strongly through the end of the first quarter of 2016. Our weighting in local currencies throughout the reporting period averaged below 5%, whereas the benchmark index has a weighting of 20%. While we generated positive alpha from our holdings in bonds denominated in local currencies and our foreign exchange (“LCFX”) positioning, we continued to maintain a relatively cautious weighting, given that the health of the asset class faced continued question marks, due to the uncertainties surrounding central bank policies, rates, and the strength of the US dollar. As the LCFX asset class has seen negative cumulative outflows through the end of the first quarter of 2016, we viewed this initial rebound as more technical in nature and took a more prudent view on investing.

The emerging market sovereign and corporate indices similarly saw the bulk of their performance come in during the first quarter of 2016, with the reference benchmarks having seen lackluster performance through the end of 2015, returning 0.89% and 0.27%, respectively. The emerging market (“EM”) asset class continues to trade in lockstep with the price of oil, with correlations between the commodity and hard currency sovereigns approaching 90%. Brent crude oil bottomed on the 20th of January, as did EM assets, which rose on the back of the oil recovery, from there. Sentiment shifted, decidedly, when oil bounced, sparking not only short covering in the oversold EM asset class, but inflows, as well.

Fundamentals improved, or were at least viewed as ‘less pessimistic’ as the new year progressed. On a macro level, concerns about lackluster Chinese growth abated, helping drive the rally in oil and other commodities such as copper, iron ore, and zinc, benefiting EM exporters. A continuation in accommodative central bank policies across the globe encouraged a return to a yield seeking, risk-on environment.

Idiosyncratic risks improved in other key countries, such as Argentina, where the newly elected, reform minded, Macri government expeditiously negotiated with holdouts on defaulted debt, ushering in US $16.5 billion of new issuance to an eager investor base. Sentiment in Brazil has improved as the political scandal has continued to unfold, leading to the ongoing impeachment process of President Dilma Rousseff. Venezuela continued to exhibit a strong willingness to pay outstanding debt, servicing both coupons and maturities and rewarding investors, despite its dwindling reserves. Oil producing countries such as Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Peru and Russia, among others, saw positive returns. China’s regional trade partners, such as Indonesia, benefited from a recovery in commodities and constructive sentiment surrounding Jokowi’s reform agenda, following his cabinet reshuffle.

Within the Fund, we were well positioned to capture alpha across these geographies. On a regional basis, holdings in Latin America were the greatest contributors to performance, led by Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela. Brazilian performance was largely driven by corporates, with both exposure to commodity producers and consumer non-cyclicals. Within Argentina, sovereign and provincial holdings were the primary drivers, with additional performance coming from our position in the oil producer, YPF. In Venezuela, the Fund profited from holding sovereign paper which matured in February 2016, as well as short dated PDVSA bonds, which rallied in sympathy. Indonesian holdings were the best performers in our Asian basket. Gains were seen in both sovereigns and high yield corporate holdings. Chinese corporates showed similarly strong performance, with the Fund benefiting from holdings in the real estate and bank sectors. Real estate has been supported by property policy easing, leading to property sales rising by 33% year over year in the first quarter of 2016, with prices recovering and construction starts beginning to turn positive. Corporates in Hong Kong and India also performed well, with contributions coming from commodity credits as well as consumer cyclicals and non-cyclicals.

Inflows to the emerging market fixed income asset class have been on the rise over recent weeks, which should be supportive of sentiment, secondary market prices and a selective return of new issuance. Continued dovish stances by central banks appear likely to persist, supporting EM and other risk assets. Nonetheless, the price of oil should continue to be the major driver for our asset class, and one should anticipate this correlation persisting over the coming quarters. Idiosyncratic risks, election cycles, United Kingdom exit (“Brexit”), and ongoing scandals impacting countries such as Brazil will undoubtedly add to uncertainty and volatility over the coming months, however, with the JPM EMBI Global Diversified trading at a spread of +390 versus US Treasuries, even a sideways trade in the asset class offers the potential for attractive returns over the medium term.

AllianzGI Emerging Markets Small-Cap Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Jie Wei, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Emerging Markets Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.80%, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.28%.

Market Overview

During the reporting period, the macroeconomic environment for emerging market equities was particularly divergent. The benchmark index rallied nearly 6% in October as investor sentiment rapidly improved following declines in three of the four prior months. The exuberance moderated over the last two months of 2015, with concerns of slowing global growth and impact from the Fed rate hikes resulting in a nearly 4% decline in November and a flat return in December. The New Year was met with extreme pessimism, with the asset class declining 12% through the first three weeks of January 2016. Emerging market equities witnessed a sharp turnaround in performance, rallying the last week of the month amid higher energy prices, a weaker dollar and dovish central bank expectations. The asset class oscillated in February only to see a significant rebound in March, resulting in a 10% advance. During the reporting period, larger-cap, pro-cyclical, deep-value stocks were among the best performers due to the rapid shift in sentiment and preference for higher-beta exposure which had been a laggard in previous periods.

During the reporting period, Colombian small-cap shares were up over 52% and Russian small-caps higher by 32%, due to a turnaround in commodity and energy pricing. Meanwhile, perennial debt issues and slowing economic conditions led to a nearly 9% decline in Greece. Sector results were led by double-digit advances in the materials sector, followed by a nearly 9% increase for the consumer discretionary sector. Meanwhile, energy stocks were surprisingly lower by nearly 10% overall, despite a rebound in oil and gas prices.

Portfolio Review

The Fund seeks to benefit from the vast inefficiencies in emerging market small-cap equities. During the reporting period, the Fund trailed the benchmark index due to more conservative stock selection at the country and sector level.

Specifically, a modest overweight allocation and positive stock selection in the health care sector contributed to performance, as did bottom-up selections in the consumer staples and energy sectors. The primary laggard during the reporting period was the materials sector, which meaningfully trailed the benchmark index due to more conservative stock selection. Stock picking in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors also trailed the benchmark index during the reporting period. From a country perspective, selections in China contributed positively to performance as did an overweight to Hungary and underweight to India. Meanwhile, bottom-up selections in Turkey, South Africa and South Korea lagged the benchmark index.

The largest individual active contributor to performance was Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company Win Semiconductors Corp., which advanced thanks to improved revenue growth and expanding margins. In addition, analysts are suggesting its diversified product mix away from lower-margin cellular products and greater emphasis on WiFi could lead to further margin expansion in the future. Weiqiao Textile Co., Ltd., a producer of cotton and fabrics, rallied due to strong earnings which topped Street expectations. The company benefited from improved manufacturing capabilities and a better product mix. The largest individual active detractor to performance was Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. The South African smart card and payments provider was lower due in part to earnings which missed Street expectations and in part FX headwinds. Indian pharmaceutical company Wockhardt Limited saw shares slump due to an FDA inspection and recommended corrective measures for one if its plants. In addition, industry sentiment was negative given the recent market preference for cyclical stocks.

AllianzGI Europe Equity Dividend Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Neil Dwane and Joerg de Vries-Hippen, DVFA/CIAA, Co-Portfolio Managers.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Europe Equity Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.56%, outperforming the MSCI Europe Total Return (Net) Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -0.08%.

Market Overview

European companies closed the reporting period unchanged. While markets still trended positively in the first half of the reporting period, they experienced a significant setback going into 2016, which was followed by a strong market rally in March.

The ECB announcement that it would be reassessing its policy in December 2015, another cut in key rates by the PBoC, the better than feared start to the US earnings season and brisk merger & acquisition (“M&A”) activity resulted in a strong recovery of equity markets in October. Weak German economic data for August, worsening economic data in the US and persistently negative economic trends in China only temporarily put pressure on equity markets. Robust economic data from both the US and Europe and signals from the ECB of more monetary steps in December were some of the supporting factors in November. However, in December, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) failed to agree on an oil production ceiling and the oil price slumped to an 11-year low, the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Index (“ISM”) declined to a 5-year low, weak Chinese economic data, the depreciation of the Yuan and stress in the US high yield market all resulted in disappointing performance of equity markets. Markets were then subject to heightened volatility in the first quarter of 2016. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. The dovish Fed meeting, the extension of the ECB’s quantitative easing, the resilient US labor market and recovering oil prices resulted in a recovery of equity markets in March. The terror attacks in Brussels, the strong euro and persistently weak economic data in China only temporarily put pressure on equity markets.

Portfolio Review

The Fund was able to hold up significantly better during the market setback phase and hold on to, and even increase, these relative gains during the subsequent market recovery. Stock selection was the decisive driver for the Fund’s active performance. Selection contributed most within financials, industrials and utilities. Country allocation did not have a meaningful impact on active performance. Sector structure detracted from performance due to the overweight in financials and the underweight in consumer staples and materials.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in telecom services and energy while the largest underweights were in health care followed by materials. With regard to country exposure, the largest overweights were in the UK and Norway while the largest underweights were in Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The strongest stock contributors to performance were the positions in Sunrise Communications (Switzerland), Logista (Spain) and NCC (Norway) whilst the positions in Pearson (UK), Drillisch (Germany) and Freenet (Germany) were the largest detractors. Sunrise Communications is the second biggest of three telecom operators in Switzerland. The aggressive appearance of a 3rd market participant raised concerns over a price war, however as these concerns faded, the stock price recovered. Logista is the leading tobacco distributor in Spain, Italy and France (quasi-monopoly). Logista is a call on a European recovery. It is a highly protected business, with a healthy balance sheet and a high, sustainable dividend yield. NCC is a Scandinavian construction company. Their homebuilding unit did exceptionally well in the fourth quarter of 2015.

AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Andreas Utermann, ASIP, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.25%, outperforming the USD Overnight LIBOR, which returned 0.14%.

Market Overview

Although global equities started this six-month period strongly driven by the ongoing accommodative monetary policy of global central banks, January was the worst start to a year in decades. Global markets began a recovery mid-February and this continued through March. US equities rallied strongly over the first half of the reporting period, boosted by better than expected company profits and signs of improvement in the US economy. Commodity markets, which had been a cause of concern for months have now improved and prices are stabilizing. This has had a knock-on effect on emerging markets which struggled before February, but are now delivering positive returns. Dovish statements from the Fed and further policy easing from the ECB and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) helped performance of government bonds.

Earlier in 2015 the effects of the ECB’s newly-introduced quantitative easing program were materializing. The Fed’s move in December to raise interest rates for the first time since 2006 caused global bond yields to rise. Fund management considered this move to be a vote of confidence in the robustness of the US economy and a demonstration of the Fed’s belief that the global economy is on a positive track. This marked the start of divergence in global monetary policy. In the US, the Fed judged that conditions justified a “lift-off” in interest rates, but stressed that future increases would be “gradual.” In contrast, the ECB lowered interest rates and extended the duration of its quantitative easing program by at least six months.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s main characteristics are income generation while limiting volatility and it has held onto acquisitions in oil stocks, emerging market equities and emerging market local and hard currency bonds despite adverse market conditions. Some oil sector calls were sold towards the end of 2015, contributing to performance. In addition to the Italian BTP’s and Spanish inflation linkers which have been held for a while, the Fund bought US TIPS. This was against the backdrop of a firming US economy and the tail-risks represented by the corresponding inflation. Commodities and cyclicals which have been volatile showed signs of recovery towards the end of this reporting period. The Fund brought in mixed performance figures but has finished this six-month period up over 4.0%. The Fund’s core and opportunistic structure has proven itself during a very volatile six months with investments in German real estate and commodity stocks in particular, showing excellent results. Profits were taken on big name equity stocks in March, locking in good performance on the back of the strong equity rally. Similarly, the allocation to outperforming emerging market bonds was cut back.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund held 41.4% in equities, 48.5% in fixed income with the remaining 10.2% in cash and derivatives.

Outlook

The mood in the markets appears to be changing. Previously markets were defensive, preferring growth over value. Now this trend is in reverse, the mining sector is outperforming, oil is recovering and emerging markets local currency bonds are strong.

Until recently there was talk of a recession and indeed the early figures this year pointed in that direction. With more data points observed, the somber mood which pervaded markets at the outset of the year is starting to lift. We believe that fears regarding the health of the global economy have not been justified. We also perceive no threat of deflation. In our opinion, the US will continue to grow ahead of the trend, while China is in need of economic improvements.

We believe that the global economic cycle is moving towards recovery in 2016. With a value-biased investment approach of exposure to equities paying dividends, the Fund is well positioned to take advantage of this upswing.

AllianzGI Global Sustainability Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Paul Schofield, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Sustainability Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.06%, underperforming the MSCI ACWI (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.28%.

Market Overview

Over the reporting period, despite periodic bouts of concern over the pace and sustainability of global economic growth, equity markets continued to move higher, supported by the ECB’s quantitative easing program and steady, although muted, improvement in the US economy.

This period marked the start of divergence in global monetary policy. In the US, the Fed judged that conditions justified a “lift-off” in interest rates, but stressed that future increases would be “gradual.” Janet Yellen, Fed chair, noted that the Fed will need to proceed cautiously given “the economic risk from abroad”. The ECB lowered interest rates, reduced banks’ deposit rates further into negative territory and extended its quantitative easing program. The BOJ surprised investors by cutting interest rates to below zero.

Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as further central bank stimulus, helped markets to recover in March.

Global bonds advanced, as the volatility in equity markets boosted demand for assets seen as safe havens. Dovish statements from the Fed and further policy easing from the ECB and BOJ also underpinned government bonds. Corporate bonds had a volatile period as they mirrored the movement in equity markets, selling off sharply at the beginning of the year before rallying in March.

Emerging market currencies rallied as the US dollar weakened, reflecting the Fed’s more dovish comments. The Japanese yen also rose, as it benefited from its “safe haven” status. However, the British pound fell sharply amid concerns over the UK’s referendum on EU membership (“Brexit”) in June.

Commodity prices fell sharply in January, with the prospect of the lifting of sanctions against Iran causing oil to fall below $30 a barrel. However, they appeared to stabilize at the end of the reporting period, with oil rising back above $40 a barrel, a rally of almost 50% from the lows reached in January.

Portfolio review

Largely due to the bifurcated performance of the market, led by defensive and commodity-related sectors, the Fund underperformed the benchmark index, although was positive in absolute terms. Stock selection was positive in Information technology, health care and consumer discretionary. An overweight in health care and consumer staples and an underweight in financials helped performance, although this was overshadowed by financials stock selection. Being underweight in utilities also hurt performance. Given our focus on high return growth companies, we typically have very limited, if any, exposure to utilities, which, as previously mentioned, outperformed the broader market. The materials sector moved higher on the back of a recovery in long underperforming mining stocks, which is another area we tend to avoid. While the Fund’s overall underweight in materials did not have a meaningful impact on performance, stock selection detracted.

From a country perspective, stock selection in Germany and the UK helped performance while the US and France was negative.

Adidas and Nielsen Holdings were among the top contributors. Adidas’s most recent set of results showed strong sales momentum and the company increased forward guidance. The company has also announced that Kasper Rorsted, former CEO of Henkel, will become the company’s new CEO. The Fund also holds Henkel in the portfolio and during his eight years as CEO, Mr. Rorsted has delivered a significant increase in the company’s profitability and share price. Management change was an important component of our investment thesis for Adidas and with plenty of scope for operating margins to expand, we remain positive on the stock.

Financial companies were among the top detractors, including Citigroup, which was caught in the financial sector downdraft largely precipitated by profitability concerns for banks due to the narrowing of interest rate spread margins and potential loan exposure to the energy complex. We originally purchased Citigroup due to improving returns, dividend growth and absolute valuation upside. While we believe the thesis remains intact, the timescale for recovery may have been extended due to cyclical headwinds in terms of the credit cycle and interest margin compression. We continue to hold the shares as they are trading below tangible book value.

Overall, we are comfortable with the profile of the Fund’s financial holdings, which is tilted away from commercial banks and has more exposure to higher quality diversified financials and insurance, such as Munich Re.

Outlook

Regional correlations and sector dispersion have risen as investors’ confidence in the global growth outlook and central banks’ ability to support major economies has waxed and waned. Over the near term this has muted the impact of active stock selection as sentiment has overwhelmed company fundamentals. High correlation markets are typically associated with extremes in investors’ risk appetite and tend to compress the outperformance opportunity from active stock picking as sentiment overwhelms company fundamentals. With that said, the Fund has navigated the current market environment reasonably well. When correlations subside, we anticipate that the Fund’s performance will more closely reflect the attractive structural growth and high return prospects of the companies we invest in.

AllianzGI Global Water Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Andreas Fruschki, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Water Fund (the “Fund”) returned 11.10%, outperforming the S&P Global Water Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.93%.

Market Overview

On the positive side, we see encouraging signs that investments in water infrastructure by US municipalities continue their upward trend after many years of austerity. European water capex remains depressed and well below sustainable levels, but we expect the return to growth similar to the US with some delay. Once Europe and the US are fully back in normal water infrastructure investment mode, this would bring back two very large customers for water equipment products which have both held back spending since 2009.

Water M&A continues to be an active theme as companies try to participate in the structural attractiveness of water technology. We expect an increase in M&A activity in the next twelve months as established players have cash to invest and a global platform which allows them to leverage regional water products across their global distribution network. We also anticipate seeing further consolidation in US water utilities as many municipalities lack the financial strength to maintain their water networks to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency, so there will be ample opportunities for large US water utility companies to acquire water assets.

Portfolio Review

The performance of water-related stocks as measured by the benchmark index’s absolute performance was up over the period and the Fund outperformed the benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, and the MSCI ACWI.

The best performing stocks during the reporting period included American Water Works and Aqua America, two US water utilities which continue to benefit from water infrastructure investments needed across the US; and Geberit, which we added to following our positive outlook on consumer spending and the European construction market. Stocks that detracted from performance for the reporting period included our Asian holdings, such as Guangdong Investments and Beijing Water, which were dragged down somewhat by the overall poor performance of the Chinese stock market. We have since sold out of Beijing Water and decreased our allocation to Guangdong Investments.

Outlook

We expect investments in water infrastructure to continue to accelerate as municipalities stop postponing investments needed to address the further deterioration of the existing networks in the US and Europe. We remain very comfortable with our top holdings in the Fund, which are a mix of high-growth US, UK and European water utilities as well as leading water industrial companies most exposed to a slowly but steadily growing US water infrastructure market after many years of pent-up demand. We also like our holdings of leading players in clean water and water-efficient consumer equipment. We try to avoid water companies which also sell to customers in either the mining or oil and gas industry and favor those water companies that also sell into structurally attractive end-markets such as safety or medical. We continue to focus on bottom-up stock picking and screening for leading players along the water supply chain with products to enhance water supply, improve water efficiency or water quality.

Consumer demand for clean drinking water remains high, especially in the emerging markets where the water infrastructure networks in most cases only fulfill very basic needs and still need several rounds of upgrading before clean drinking water is available to the same degree as in developed nations. We estimate this will take decades worth of investments.

AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Doug Forsyth, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.70%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.01%.

Market Overview

The high-yield market’s path toward achieving positive results for the reporting period was hardly linear.

Several factors influenced high-yield bonds earlier in the reporting period—most notably oil prices, technical pressure and negative sentiment, the Fed’s activity, earnings and the dollar, and global economic data.

In the back half of the first quarter of 2016, performance recovered significantly so this review will focus on what caused the market’s slide to reverse and head higher. The most notable factors were the Fed’s outlook and commentary, US economic data, global conditions and technical factors.

The Fed’s activity topped the list of concerns about an already fragile US economy slowing further, but so far in 2016, the Fed has kept additional rate hikes on hold due to market volatility and weakness outside the US. After some hawkish rhetoric by some FOMC members following their March 2016 meeting, Fed Chair Janet Yellen quickly reversed those interpretations with some heavily dovish comments of her own.

Other factors benefiting the high-yield market during the first quarter of 2016 were a weaker dollar and, concurrently, higher commodity prices. As commodity prices, specifically crude oil prices, increased, market sentiment also rose. These changes were bolstered by a continuing positive employment trend that, when taken in conjunction with other economic indicators, create a positive backdrop for the current economic condition in the US. These factors all helped the high-yield market stage a strong comeback.

Three offshore factors also helped sentiment. First, the ECB presented some stronger-than-expected economic stimulus tools to help calm fears in Europe. Second, Chinese officials made several comments in the quarter that helped abate concerns about growth and foreign-exchange policies. And third, several oil-producing countries discussed capping production.

Some of the reporting period’s increased volatility stemmed from technical pressure caused by structural changes. The lack of middle-market-making by banks and broker/dealers has created price gaps for some issuers. Government policies intended to control the financial risk for banks trading in the credit markets have had unintended consequences. The market-smoothing mechanism—broker/dealers making markets—is struggling, and even small trades have caused a great impact on prices in many cases. However, these same forces led to price gaps higher over the balance of the quarter.

Portfolio Review

During the reporting period, the Fund’s return lagged the benchmark index. However, the relative lag was largely experienced in the first half of the reporting period. In the subsequent rally, the Fund participated in the market’s significant move higher.

Industry allocations that helped relative performance during the reporting period included chemicals, support-services and technology. All three industries exhibited positive issue selection. Overweights in chemicals and technology were also beneficial.

Industry allocations that hurt relative performance during the reporting period included energy, theaters & entertainment and metals/mining ex. steel. All three industries exhibited negative issue selection.

AllianzGI International Growth Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Europe Equity Growth Team.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI International Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 8.25%, outperforming the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 2.86%.

Market Overview

During the reporting period, equity markets moved on a volatile path including correction from November 2015 through February 2016. Concerns about the future of the Chinese economy, particularly China’s discretionary spending, weighed on markets. In addition, crude oil prices reached new lows and only began to stabilize toward the end of the reporting period. Markets closed the period with moderate gains.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s outperformance was driven by strong stock selection. The Fund’s picks were characterized by strong earnings profiles and high quality balance sheets which have contributed to the core growth of the Fund. Stock selection was particularly positive across the information technology, health care and consumer staples sectors. This positive contribution outweighed the negative effects of stock picking in the weaker performing consumer discretionary sector where positions such as Richemont underperformed due to concerns related to Chinese consumption. Conversely, sector allocation detracted during the reporting period due to a relative overweight in consumer staples and an underweight in financials.

With respect to individual stocks, positions in Ambu, Sysmex, LG Household & Health, Infineon, Novo Nordisk and Simcorp were the largest contributors to performance on both an absolute and active level. Biostime, Hexpol, Keyence and Sundrug were also additive.

On the other hand, shares of Elekta, Canadian National Railway and Hugo Boss detracted from the active performance and underwent a period of share-price correction. Bank NS Halifax, Schneider Electric and Richemont also underperformed with moderate losses.

During the reporting period, we purchased shares of UBS, Restaurant Brands, Rotork, Imi, Nippon Paint, Odontoprev, Norma Richelieu Hardware, Jollibee Foods and Ambu. We sold our position in Lawson, Magnit and Spectris.

AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Andrew Neville, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.99%, underperforming the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.46%.

Market Overview

In a volatile period, international smaller companies achieved further absolute gains. Asian ex Japan smaller companies registered the strongest gains posting double-digit absolute gains. Smaller companies from Japan and Europe also closed the reporting period in positive territory.

At the start of the reporting period, the ECB’s announcement that would be reassessing its policy in December 2015, another cut in key rates by the PBoC, the better than feared start to the US earnings season and brisk M&A activity resulted in a strong recovery of equity markets in October. Weak German economic data for August, worsening economic data in the US and persistently negative economic trends in China only temporarily put pressure on equity markets. Robust economic data from both the US and Europe and signals from the ECB of more monetary steps in December were some of the supporting factors in November. However, in December, the ECB disappointed hopes for extreme dovishness, OPEC failed to agree on an oil production ceiling and the oil prices slumped to an 11-year low, the ISM Index declined to a 5-year low, weak Chinese economic data, the depreciation of the Yuan and stress in the US high yield market all resulted in a disappointing performance of equity markets. Markets were then subject to heightened volatility in the first quarter of 2016. Most markets suffered the worst start to a year in decades, with some entering bear-market territory, amid renewed fears about the slowdown in China and further oil price weakness. However, signs that commodity prices may be stabilizing, as well as further central bank stimulus, helped markets to recover in March. Most equity markets ended the quarter with modest losses, although the US and many emerging markets recorded positive returns.

Portfolio Review

Stock selection was the main driver of the Fund’s relative performance. All three regional sleeve portfolios (Europe, Asia ex Japan, and Japan) lagged versus their regional market. Sector-wise, selection contributed positively within industrials and information technology but detracted most within consumer discretionary, financials and health care. Sector structure contributed positively mostly due to the underweight positions in financials and energy.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in information technology, consumer discretionary and consumer staples whilst the largest underweights were in financials followed by materials and energy. Geographically the largest overweights were in France and China whilst the largest underweights were in Canada and the UK.

The strongest stock contributors to performance were the positions in Gameloft (France), Sartorius Stedim Biotech (France) and Gamesa (Spain) while the positions in Permanent TSB (Ireland), Yamaha Motor (Japan) and Korian (France) were the largest detractors. Permanent TSB (Financials, Ireland) is a pure mortgage bank in Ireland. The bank benefits from strong GDP growth in Ireland which drives a rerating of the mortgage book and enables de-provisioning. However, regulatory costs, negative deposit rates and the delayed disposal of their UK legacy business put pressure on the stock. We sold our position. Yamaha Motor provides motorcycles, marine products and recreational vehicles. The share price was hit by the stronger yen. However, the company’s order trend remains solid and the adverse effect of the strong yen has been priced in. We therefore hold on to the position.

AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -4.87%, underperforming the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -4.50%.

Market Review

In general, US stocks ended higher and proved resilient given the headwinds the market faced throughout the reporting period, including an interest rate hike, monetary policy uncertainty, US recession fears, slumping commodity prices and economic growth concerns in China.

Initially, stocks rallied on fading October 2015 rate hike expectations due to a disappointing payroll report. The surge in equities persisted on dovish comments from the ECB and the announcement of new stimulus measures from the PBoC. Stabilizing Chinese economic data and a better-than-feared start to the third quarter earnings season were also supportive.

The market’s advance slowed in November and stocks succumbed to selling pressure in December. Sentiment fluctuated over this period as investors grappled with episodes of equity volatility and sharp declines in commodity prices, including the metals, crude oil and natural gas. However, over the quarter, investors grew more comfortable with the prospect of a rate hike and embraced the move in December—the first in nearly ten years. The Fed’s emphasis on data dependency and gradualism and a rebound in energy prices helped to ease investor angst into year end.

The first quarter of 2016 was a tale of two halves with US stocks plummeting at the year’s onset before rebounding sharply to end the reporting period mixed. The strength of the advance was notable and propelled select US indices to a positive close on a year-to-date basis. Focused on Chinese economic growth, recession fears in the US and slumping energy prices, investors initially sought safety and fled risk assets. In the second half of the quarter, stocks staged a remarkable recovery as angst around the abovementioned concerns faded. The bifurcated performance of equities correlated closely with the price of crude oil, which also bottomed mid-quarter. Concurrent with the market’s upturn, sentiment rebounded higher and volatility sunk to levels matching the lows recorded in October 2015. Dovish comments from Janet Yellen, a downwardly revised interest-rate-hike trajectory and a more substantial than expected policy response from the ECB also supported the market’s surge. Lastly, fourth quarter earnings were generally better than estimated, but the tone of guidance was cautious.

Against this backdrop, the Russell Microcap Index trailed the Russell 2000 Index. Within the microcap universe, growth-oriented stocks lagged value-oriented stocks. Specific to the benchmark index, sector performance was mixed. Consumer staples, materials and industrials were the strongest performing sectors, followed by telecom services. In contrast, the energy sector declined the most, followed by health care, financials and utilities.

Performance

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, security selection positively contributed to relative performance, while allocation effects at the sector level detracted. For example, stock picking was positive in the health care, materials and energy sectors. Conversely, security selection in information technology, consumer discretionary and financials had a negative impact. Separately, an underweight in health care and an overweight in consumer discretionary benefitted relative performance; however, an underweight in consumer staples and an overweight in energy were offsetting.

AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by the Multi-Asset US Group.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.48%, underperforming the Barclays US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.01%.

Market Overview

Inflation related asset classes had mixed results over the reporting period, as reflected by declining commodity prices (Bloomberg Commodity Index declined 10.52% in the fourth quarter and eked out a 0.42% return in the first quarter), while the MSCI World Real Estate Index returned 9.88% with the gains split almost equally between the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016. Stocks of commodity related companies rose 6.20%, also benefiting from positive returns in both quarters. The Barclays US TIPS Index also posted a positive absolute return over the period, with a 4.46% gain in the first quarter taking the full reporting period return to 3.79%. Over the reporting period, the Custom Real Asset Benchmark an equal weighted combination of these four inflation related asset classes, rose 2.43%.

Portfolio Review

Amidst a volatile period that started with continued weakness in commodities, while global equities conversely rallied off of September’s lows, the Fund was actively adjusted to the changing market environment. Overall performance included a combination of detractors and contributors. As compared to the Custom Real Asset Benchmark, the Fund was underweight commodities for the duration of the reporting period, contributing to results particularly during the fourth quarter. Conversely, underweights to REITS and commodity related equities served to limit the Fund’s relative result as both segments posted favorable returns over the reporting period.

Outlook

Risks have risen, but we do not believe the global economy is heading toward recession. In the US, while odds of an April interest rate hike are low, we believe that the outlook for growth and inflation will prompt the Fed to raise rates twice in 2016. Against this backdrop, we expect global monetary policy to remain accommodative. The recovery in commodities has helped stabilize some of the stress points in the world economy, which should support inflation and growth. Still, we believe the existence of economic and political uncertainties will likely result in persistent volatility.

From an investment perspective, the Fund entered the second quarter with underweights to commodities and inflation linked bonds in the US, while the underweights were partially offset by modest overweight to REITS and cash/liquidity. Outside of the holdings of the benchmark index, the Fund also held opportunistic exposure to emerging market debt and a modest position in investment grade corporate debt.

AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Krysta Hill, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.99%, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.41%.

Market Overview

Within the global equity space, emerging market equities vastly outpaced developed, international stocks over the reporting period, with the benchmark index appreciating 6.41% and the MSCI EAFE Index climbing 1.56%. Emerging markets were largely boosted by a weaker US dollar and rising commodity prices, with equities in Latin America leading gains, while those in Asia tended to lag. Brazil was a standout performer, soaring 25% within the benchmark index while many Eastern European equities were elevated by additional stimulus measures from the ECB, with Turkey of particular note, rising 21% over the trailing six-month period. Indonesia (35%), Hungary (31%), Malaysia (22%), Peru (17%), Chile (12%) and South Korea (11%) also rose to realize double-digit returns. Conversely, negative results were concentrated in part to Asia, where India declined 3% and China fell 1% as concerns for a slowdown in China’s economy persisted over the reporting period. All but one of ten economic sectors within the benchmark index recorded a positive return, led by strength from the energy, materials, information technology and utilities sectors. The industrials sector returned -5 basis points over the reporting period, followed by flat returns from telecom services equities and a 2% gain for health care names in the benchmark index.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance versus the benchmark index was due in part to a 3.0% average cash position, which detracted over the volatile, but largely positive reporting period, paired with more moderate contributions from sector and country allocation. Stock selection as well as sector allocation were roughly neutral for the reporting period.

In terms of stock selection, Fund holdings in the materials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest contributors to performance. Negative selection in the energy, information technology and telecom services sectors detracted from results.

From a sector allocation perspective, underweight positions in the telecom services and materials sectors boosted relative performance results. An overweight in the health care sector slightly detracted during the reporting period.

Selection by country was positive, particularly across China, Malaysia, India and Taiwan. Holdings in South Africa and South Korea muted Fund performance during the reporting period.

Country allocation contributed to results, largely due to overweights in Brazil and Russia and underweights in Greece and Qatar. This was somewhat offset by underweight positions in Indonesia and South Korea.

Sector and country weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. In contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the telecom services and consumer staples sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Krysta Hill, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.79%, underperforming the MSCI ACWI (the “benchmark index”), which returned 5.28%.

Market Overview

Global equities, as measured by the benchmark index, appreciated 5.28%, led by strength in the US space, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 8.49%, as well as the emerging economies, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index appreciating 6.41%, during the reporting period. Strength from many emerging countries, particularly during the second half of the reporting period, was boosted in part by weakness in the US dollar and ascending commodity prices. Within the global equity space, developed, international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained a mere 1.56% for the trailing six-month period. Investors in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Average struggled in the face of a surprise rate cut by the BoJ during the first quarter of 2016. Bank shares dove 30% during the first quarter alone, as the BoJ decision to cut benchmark interest rates below zero compressed the spread at which financial firms borrow and lend. The value of the yen—a key determinant of Japanese export earnings—surged to a two-and-a half year high versus the US dollar in the first quarter of 2016, spurred by heavy demand for safe assets and the Fed’s dovish outlook. Euro-zone GDP expanded at a 1.1% annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2015, the weakest performance in a year and a half. In an effort to shake the region from its economic funk, policymakers at the ECB doubled-down on monetary stimulus in the first quarter, slashing benchmark interest rates deeper into negative territory and ramping up the pace of monthly asset purchases from 60 billion to 80 billion. While 13 of 46 countries in the benchmark index fell to a negative total return over the reporting period, another 13 countries soared to double-digit gains, led by strength from the emerging and Asia/Pacific markets: Indonesia, Brazil, Australia, Chile and Russia. After a 29% fall for Greece-based equities, weakness largely stemmed from Europe—including Italy (-14%), Spain (-6%), Switzerland (-3%) and the UK (-1%)—as well as a 1% decline from China. For the reporting period, all but one of ten economic sectors within the benchmark index recorded a positive return, as the telecom services, consumer staples, information technology and utilities sectors climbed 10% or more. Financials names delivered the poorest performance, declining over 1%, while health care securities were flat and consumer discretionary equities recorded a 4.8% total return.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative performance versus the benchmark index was due to negative stock selection while regional and sector allocations were positive, during the reporting period.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the financials and health care sectors contributed positively to performance during the reporting period but were overwhelmed by selections in the utilities, telecom services and materials sectors, which detracted from Fund returns.

Sector allocation overall contributed to relative performance, led by overweight positions in telecom services and information technology, as well as an underweight in the health care sector, which also aided performance results. Conversely, an underweight in materials detracted from the Fund’s relative returns, during the reporting period.

Selection by country was largely net neutral as positive selection across the UK, Norway and Germany was largely offset by negative selection across Israel, South Korea and South Africa.

Country allocation was positive over the reporting period, driven in part by underweight exposures in Japan, Italy and Switzerland, as well as an overweight in Indonesia. The Fund’s overweight in Spain and underweight in the United States had a negative impact on relative performance results.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the energy and telecommunications services sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the health care and consumer staples sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ International Small-Cap Value Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Krysta Hill, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ International Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.71%, underperforming the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.46%.

Market Overview

Within the global equity space, developed, small-capitalization international stocks, as measured by the benchmark index, gained 6.46% for the reporting period. Those results outpaced US small-capitalization equities, which rose 2.02% in the Russell 2000 Index. Within the international sphere, emerging equities bested the returns of developed, international equities, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index up 6.41% and the MSCI EAFE Index gaining a more moderate 1.56% during the reporting period. Investors in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Average struggled in the face of a surprise rate cut by the BoJ during the first quarter of 2016. Bank shares dove 30% during the first quarter alone, as the BoJ decision to cut benchmark interest rates below zero compressed the spread at which financial firms borrow and lend. The value of the yen—a key determinant of Japanese export earnings—surged to a two-and-a half year high versus the US dollar in the first quarter of 2016, spurred by heavy demand for safe assets and the Fed’s dovish outlook. Euro-zone GDP expanded at a 1.1% annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2015, the weakest performance in a year and a half. In an effort to shake the region from its economic funk, policymakers at the ECB doubled-down on monetary stimulus in the first quarter of 2016, slashing benchmark interest rates deeper into negative territory and ramping up the pace of monthly asset purchases from 60 billion to 80 billion. Just four of 22 countries in the benchmark index dipped into negative territory for the period: Portugal (-5%), Hong Kong (-5%), Italy (-3%) and the UK (-2%). Strength was realized across Asia/Pacific and select European countries, led by New Zealand (+33%), Australia (+22%), Sweden (+16%), Finland (+15%), Ireland (+13%), Switzerland (+13%) and Singapore (+11%). For the reporting period, all but one of ten economic sectors within the benchmark index recorded a positive return, as the consumer staples, materials, utilities, and health care climbed 9% or more. Energy names delivered the poorest performance, declining 9%, while telecom services securities gained just 1% and financials equities recorded a 2% total return.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance versus the benchmark index was largely due to negative stock selection, while country and sector allocations were positive over the reporting period.

In terms of stock selection, Fund holdings in the financials, telecom services and utilities sectors were the largest contributors to performance. However, these gains were overwhelmed by negative selection across the industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors.

From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight in materials as well as an underweight in energy boosted relative returns. Conversely, an underweight in health care detracted from performance over the reporting period.

Selection by country was negative, led by holdings based in Japan, Germany and Italy, which failed to keep pace with benchmark shares. The Fund realized gains with strong selection from Hong Kong, Canada and Australia-based holdings.

Country allocation was positive, boosted by an underweight in Japan and overweight positions in New Zealand and the Philippines. The Fund’s overweights in South Africa and Hong Kong weighed on relative performance results.

Sector and country weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the materials and consumer staples sectors. In contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the health care and information technology sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ International Value II Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Krysta Hill, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ International Value II Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.29%, underperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.56%.

Market Overview

Within the global equity space, developed, international stocks, as measured by the benchmark index, gained 1.56% for the reporting period. Those results trailed the S&P 500, which climbed 8.49%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which appreciated 6.41%, during the reporting period. Investors in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Average struggled in the face of a surprise rate cut by the BoJ during the first quarter of 2016. Bank shares dove 30% during the first quarter of 2016 alone, as the BoJ decision to cut benchmark interest rates below zero compressed the spread at which financial firms borrow and lend. The value of the yen—a key determinant of Japanese export earnings—surged to a two-and-a half year high versus the US dollar in the first quarter also, spurred by heavy demand for safe assets and the Fed’s dovish outlook. Euro-zone GDP expanded at a 1.1% annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2015, the weakest performance in a year and a half. In an effort to shake the region from its economic funk, policymakers at the ECB doubled-down on monetary stimulus in the first quarter, slashing benchmark interest rates deeper into negative territory and ramping up the pace of monthly asset purchases from 60 billion to 80 billion. Five of 21 countries in the benchmark index dipped into negative territory for the period, including Italy (-14%), Spain (-6%), Switzerland (-3%), Israel (-2%) and the UK (-1%). Strength was realized across Asia/Pacific and select European countries, led by New Zealand (+33%), Australia (+13%), Belgium (+11%), Singapore (+10%) and Portugal (+8%). For the period, all but two of ten economic sectors within the benchmark index recorded a positive return, as the consumer staples, industrials, telecom services, and energy sectors climbed 6% or more. Financials delivered the poorest performance, declining 6% while health care securities fell 1% and consumer discretionary equities recorded a 1% total return.

Portfolio Review

Negative sector allocation contributed to the Fund’s relative underperformance of the benchmark index over the reporting period. Conversely, stock selection and country allocation were positive and boosted relative performance results.

In terms of stock selection, Fund holdings in the financials, utilities and consumer staples sectors outpaced benchmark index shares. Selection across the materials sector detracted somewhat from results.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight in consumer staples and overweight positions in the financials and materials sectors, were primary performance detractors. Conversely, an overweight in telecom services somewhat contributed to Fund performance over the reporting period.

Selection by region was positive, particularly in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Australia. However, the Fund’s Norway, Israel and Sweden-based holdings somewhat hindered relative results.

Country allocations were positive due to the Fund’s underweights in Switzerland and Italy, as well as overweight positions in the UK and Hong Kong. Overweights in the off-benchmark countries of China and Colombia, as well as an underweight in Germany, detracted during the reporting period.

Sector and region weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors. In contrast, the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples and health care sectors.

AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Doug Forsyth, CFA, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.38%, underperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year BB US Cash Pay High Yield Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 2.31%.

Market Overview

The high-yield market’s path toward achieving positive results was hardly linear for the period.

Several factors influenced high-yield bonds earlier in the reporting period—most notably oil prices, technical pressure and negative sentiment, the Fed’s activity, earnings and the dollar, and global economic data.

In the second half of the first quarter of 2016, performance recovered significantly so this review will focus on what caused the market’s slide to reverse course and head higher. The most notable factors were the Fed’s outlook and commentary, US economic data, global conditions and technical factors.

The Fed’s activity topped the list of concerns about an already fragile US economy slowing further, but so far this year, the Fed has kept additional rate hikes on hold due to market volatility and weakness outside the US. After some hawkish rhetoric by some FOMC members following their March 2016 meeting, Fed Chair Janet Yellen quickly reversed those interpretations with some heavily dovish comments of her own.

Other factors benefiting the high-yield market during the first quarter of 2016 were a weaker dollar and, concurrently, higher commodity prices. As those prices, specifically crude oil prices, increased, market sentiment also rose. These changes were bolstered by a continuing positive employment trend that, when taken in conjunction with other economic indicators, create a positive backdrop for the current conditions in the US. These factors all helped the high-yield market stage a strong comeback.

Three offshore factors also helped sentiment. First, the ECB presented some stronger than expected economic stimulus tools to help calm fears in Europe. Second, Chinese officials made several comments in the first quarter of the year that helped abate concerns about growth and foreign-exchange policies. And third, several oil-producing countries discussed capping production; this was another factor that influenced the direction of oil prices.

Some of the reporting period’s increased volatility stemmed from technical pressure caused by structural changes. The lack of middle-market-making by banks and broker/dealers has created price gaps for some issuers. Government policies intended to control the financial risk for banks trading in the credit markets have had unintended consequences. The market-smoothing mechanism—broker/dealers making markets—is struggling, and even small trades have caused a great impact on prices in many cases. However, these same forces led to price gaps higher over the balance of the quarter.

Portfolio Review

The Fund seeks a high level of current income with lower volatility than the broader high yield market. The Fund delivered positive absolute returns over the six-month period but lagged the performance of the benchmark index return. Credit quality in the portfolio remains relatively high. Yield to worst for the Fund was consistently higher than that of the benchmark index over the reporting period. At the same time, duration for the Fund was similar to that of the benchmark index over the period to balance our objectives of maintaining high current income while attempting to preserve capital in the event of rising interest rates.

Industry allocations that helped absolute performance during the period included insurance, cable & satellite TV and steel producers/products.

Industry allocations that hurt absolute performance during the period energy, healthcare and telecom-wireline integrated & services.

Please note the benchmark index represents a segment of the high-yield market and is not viewed as a target for the Fund’s investment performance. It is worth noting that the benchmark index is composed of BB rated corporate bonds with maturities of 1-3 years. In contrast, the Fund owns bank loans and securities that have credit ratings below BB and maturities exceeding 3 years.

AllianzGI Structured Return Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Greg Tournant and Stephen Bond-Nelson, Co-Portfolio Managers.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Structured Return Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.55%, outperforming the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 0.10%.

Portfolio Review

The Fund navigated difficult market fluctuations to deliver positive performance for the reporting period. The results illustrate the Fund’s ability to generate returns and to manage risk even when markets are undergoing steep declines.

As we had anticipated following its August 2015 decline, the Fund’s performance recovered rapidly. The Fund gained 1.23% in October 2015, resulting in a 2.89% snapback in performance over the September-October period. This performance is typical of the Fund’s behavior following an equity-market drawdown and volatility spike. The Fund gained from lucrative in-the-money covered call positions that were initiated in late August and early September 2015 at elevated volatility levels. The Fund also benefited from directional spreads, tactically layered into the portfolio to capitalize on S&P 500 Index moves to both the upside and downside. These positions contributed approximately 0.35% to the Fund’s performance for the fourth quarter of 2015.

At first glance, it could appear that the Fund’s recovery occurred because the S&P 500 Index was up 8.44% in October 2015. But continued equity-market weakness would actually have been an even better environment for the Fund. The Fund’s risk-adjusted return potential is enhanced during extended periods of heightened volatility. Higher volatility levels provide the opportunity to collect higher option premium with greater statistical safety to the downside. The sharp S&P 500 Index rally caused the CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX”) to decline rapidly, shortening the aftermath of elevated profit potential.

Equity markets calmed in November 2015 as investors anticipated the Fed rate hike in December. The S&P 500 Index rose 0.30% while the VIX remained in the teens. For the month, the Fund performed in line with expectations, gaining 0.45%

Unease returned to equity markets in December 2015, as investors weighed the impact of the Fed’s decision on December 16 to raise interest rates and oil-price instability roiled markets. The S&P 500 Index fluctuated as much as 1% to 2% a day for a stretch, ultimately declining 1.58% for the month. The VIX briefly climbed into the low 20s and closed out the year at 18. The Fund navigated the challenging conditions and gained 0.26% for the month.

Right out of the gate in the new year, the broad US equity market underwent a significant correction. Beginning in late December 2015, the S&P 500 Index tumbled 10.5% in 14 trading days. After some further choppiness into mid-February 2016, the index rebounded sharply to finish up 1.35% for the quarter.

As part of our risk management process to accommodate the sharp equity index pullback, we closed several of our short in-the-money call positions and opened new call positions with strikes 5% further downward, positioning the portfolio to withstand additional equity market weakness.

The S&P 500 Index finished January 2016 with a return of -4.96%, with the Fund returning -1.29%. This was a more benign monthly outcome than August 2015, when the Fund returned -3.61% amid a similarly large equity-market decline.

In the case of the January move, we attribute the better durability to several factors. First, directional put spread positions helped offset the net cost of the restructuring, as is their purpose. Directional spreads helped diversify the Fund and contributed approximately 40 basis points in the first quarter.

Second, the speed of the benchmark index move was less severe than in August 2015. It is easier to withstand a 10% decline over two weeks than over five trading days, which was the time frame last August. With some option positions expiring intact along the way, we were able to do less restructuring overall. The net cost of our restructuring was approximately 175 basis points.

Finally, the starting level of the VIX was more favorable in January 2016 than it was last summer. In December 2015, we were able to build many positions with the VIX in the high teens and low 20s—considerably higher than the VIX level of 13 that was in place when the August 2015 correction began. A high VIX enables wider strike distances at time of position construction, and is therefore better positioned to withstand difficult market conditions. It also reduces the impact of negative mark-to-market on the Fund’s short-term performance. The VIX climbed to the high 20s in January, a month-over-month increase of just 26%. In contrast, the VIX surged 134% in August 2015 from its beginning base, resulting in much choppier daily and monthly performance.

Following a short-lived recovery at the end of January, the S&P 500 Index again plummeted in February 2016, ultimately bottoming out on February 11 with the VIX as high as 28. The Fund profited from lucrative in-the-money covered call positions that had been constructed in a higher VIX environment, as is typical. Class A shares of the Fund gained 0.33% net of fees for the month, even as the S&P 500 Index was down again with a return of -0.13%.

From there, a powerful equity reversal took hold, with the S&P 500 Index rising 13% in just a few weeks, on its way to a 6.8% return for March 2016. The V-shaped recovery caused a rapid decline in the VIX, finishing the quarter back in the low-teens. The Fund continued to realize gains as its option positions cycled through their expirations. The Fund returned 0.59% in March 2016.

AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by Greg Tournant and Stephen Bond-Nelson, Co-Portfolio Managers.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.19%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 8.49%.

Portfolio Overview

The Fund underperformed for the reporting period yet smoothed the extreme moves of the benchmark index. The Fund protected well on the downside but could not keep pace during strong equity market rebounds.

Since its inception in December 2012, the Fund has delivered above-average returns among its Morningstar Long/Short Equity peer group and has reduced equity-market volatility by approximately 40% as measured by the standard deviation of monthly returns of the Fund versus the benchmark index.

The Fund seeks to provide protection against downside equity-market moves while asymmetrically preserving the upside potential of the underlying passive equity portfolio. The Fund pursues this objective by purchasing laddered, long duration equity index put options and selling short duration index calls at varying strike distances. The goal of this duration mismatch is for the short call positions to stay out of the way of rising equity markets while the longer-dated put positions continuously hedge downside risk.

At the start of the reporting period, domestic equities surged, with the benchmark index gaining 8.44% in October 2015. Although the Fund was unable to keep pace with the benchmark Index’s rapid ascent, the Fund gained 3.42% for the month. The short calls in the Fund, written about 3% away from benchmark index levels at inception, curtailed the underlying equity’s upside.

Equity markets calmed in November 2015 as investors anticipated the Fed rate hike in December. The benchmark index rose 0.30% and equity market volatility subdued. The Fund outperformed for the month with a gain of 0.43%, as per the Fund’s standard deviation.

Unease returned to equity markets in December 2015, as investors weighed the impact of the Fed’s decision on December 16 to raise interest rates and oil price instability roiled markets. The benchmark index fluctuated as much as 1% to 2% a day for a stretch, ultimately declining 1.58% for the month. The VIX, meanwhile briefly climbed to the mid-20s, but ultimately finished the month at 18. The decline in the VIX negatively impacted the value of the Fund’s hedging positions, causing the Class A shares of the Fund to finish the month down 2.36%.

At the start of the first quarter of 2016, the broad US equity market underwent a significant correction. Beginning in late December 2015, the benchmark index fell 10.5% in 14 trading days. During the move, our long puts helped cushion the Fund against equity losses. With the benchmark index returning -4.96% for the month, Class A shares of the Fund returned -3.61%.

The benchmark index again fell in early February 2016, ultimately bottoming on February 11. The laddered long put positions once again helped soften the underlying equity portfolio decline. In the first 11 calendar days of the month, the Fund was down just 2.50%, less than half of the corresponding benchmark index decline for the same period.

From there, however, a powerful equity reversal took hold, with the benchmark index rising 13% in just a few weeks, on its way to a 6.78% return for March 2016. This V-shaped bear market rally was too rapid for our short call positions. For the month of March, the Fund gained 2.24%, but the short calls, which had been written about 3% to 5% away from benchmark index levels at inception with a duration of one month, truncated the Fund’s upside participation.

AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned -6.63%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -0.57%.

Market Overview

In general, US stocks ended higher and proved resilient given the headwinds the market faced throughout the reporting period including an interest rate hike, monetary policy uncertainty, US recession fears, slumping commodity prices and economic growth concerns in China.

Initially, stocks rallied on fading October rate hike expectations due to a disappointing payroll report. The surge in equities persisted on dovish comments from the ECB and the announcement of new stimulus measures from the PBoC. Stabilizing Chinese economic data and a better than feared start to the third quarter earnings season were also supportive.

The market’s advance slowed in November 2015 and stocks succumbed to selling pressure in December. Sentiment fluctuated over this period as investors grappled with episodes of equity volatility and sharp declines in commodity prices, including the metals, crude oil and natural gas. However, over the quarter, investors grew more comfortable with the prospect of a rate hike and embraced the move in December—the first in nearly ten years. The Fed’s emphasis on data dependency and gradualism and a rebound in energy prices helped to ease investor angst into year end.

The first quarter of 2016 was a tale of two halves with US stocks plummeting at the year’s onset before rebounding sharply to end the period mixed. The strength of the advance was notable and propelled select US indices to a positive close on a year-to-date basis. Focused on Chinese economic growth, recession fears in the US and slumping energy prices, investors initially sought safety and fled risk assets. In the second half of the quarter, stocks staged a remarkable recovery as angst around the abovementioned concerns faded. The bifurcated performance of equities correlated closely with the price of crude oil, which also bottomed mid-quarter. Concurrent with the market’s upturn, sentiment rebounded higher and volatility sunk to levels matching the lows recorded in October 2015. Dovish comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen, a downwardly revised interest rate hike trajectory and a more substantial than expected policy response from the ECB also supported the market’s surge. Lastly, fourth quarter earnings were generally better than estimated, but the tone of guidance was cautious.

Against this backdrop, the Russell 2000 Index underperformed the Russell 1000 Index. Within the small-cap universe, growth stocks lagged value stocks due to weakness in health care and technology. Within the benchmark index, sector performance was mixed. Telecom services, industrials and materials were among the strongest-performing sectors. In contrast, health care, pressured by weakness in biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks, was among the worst-performing sectors. The energy and consumer discretionary sectors also underperformed.

Portfolio Review

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, both security selection and asset weight effects weighed on relative performance. For example, stock picking was positive in the consumer staples, materials and energy sectors, but the total impact was negligible. Conversely, security selection in information technology, financials and industrials had the greatest negative influence. Separately, an overweight in energy was also a detractor.

AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund

For the period of October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, as provided by John McCraw, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2016, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -6.32%, underperforming the Russell Microcap Growth Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -4.50%.

Lastly, fourth-quarter earnings were generally better than estimated, but the tone of guidance was cautious.

Against this backdrop, the Russell Microcap Index trailed the Russell 2000 Index. Within the microcap universe, growth-oriented stocks lagged value-oriented stocks. Specific to the benchmark index, sector performance was mixed. Consumer staples, materials and industrials were the strongest-performing sectors, followed by telecom services. In contrast, the energy sector declined the most, followed by health care, financials and utilities.

Portfolio Review

The Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the reporting period. From an attribution perspective, security selection pressured relative performance whereas allocation effects at the sector level were negligible. For example, stock picking was positive in the consumer staples, materials and telecom services sectors. Conversely, security selection in health care, consumer discretionary and financials had a negative impact. Separately, an underweight in health care and an overweight in consumer discretionary benefited relative performance; however, an underweight in both consumer staples and industrials were offsetting.

Important Information

 

Effective September 30, 2015, the Trust’s fiscal year end changed from November 30th to September 30th.

The inception date on each Fund Summary page is the inception date of the Fund’s oldest share class or classes. The AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund reorganized on May 4, 2009 when its predecessor merged into the Trust. The Global Allocation Fund’s shares were first offered in 9/98. On April 12, 2010, the following funds reorganized when their predecessors merged into series of the Trust (including fund’s inception date): AllianzGI Convertible Fund (4/93), AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund (7/96), AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund (12/97), AllianzGI U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund (10/93), AllianzGI Micro Cap Fund (7/95), AllianzGI Ultra Micro Cap Fund (1/08). For each of the reorganized funds, Institutional Class is the oldest share class, except that for AllianzGI International Small-Cap Fund, the oldest share class of the predecessor fund merged into Class P.

The Target-Date Funds are designed to offer individual investors comprehensive asset allocation strategies tailored to the approximate date when they expect to begin withdrawing assets. The target date included in the Fund’s name does not necessarily represent the specific year an investor will begin withdrawing assets. It is intended only as a general guide. Each Fund follows a target asset allocation schedule that changes over time to help reduce portfolio risk, increasing its exposure to conservative investments as the target date approaches. The principal value of a Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. A Fund’s shareholders may experiences losses, including losses near, at or after the target year indicated in the Fund’s name.

Returns measure performance from the inception of the oldest share class to the present, so some returns predate the inception of the actual share class. Those returns are calculated by adjusting the returns of the oldest share class to reflect the indicated share class’s different operating expenses. Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested on the payable date.

Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. Class C shares are subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for shares redeemed in the first year. Class R shares are generally available only to 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and healthcare benefit funding plans. Class P shares are offered primarily through certain asset allocation, wrap fee and other similar programs offered by broker-dealers and other intermediaries. Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by investors such as pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations, corporations and high net worth individuals. Administrative Class shares are offered primarily through employee benefit plan alliances, broker-dealers and other intermediaries. Class R6 shares are offered primarily for 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, non-qualified deferred

compensation plans, healthcare benefit funding plans and other specified benefit plans and accounts whereby the plan or the plan’s broker, dealer or other financial Intermediary has an agreement with the Distributor or the Investment Manager to utilize Class R6 shares In certain Investment products or programs.

Class D and Class B shares were converted into Class A shares on November 13, 2015 and December 4, 2015, respectively.

The Lipper Averages are calculated by Lipper, Inc. They are based on the total return performance, with distributions reinvested and operating expenses deducted, of funds included by Lipper in the stated category. Lipper does not take into account sales charges.

The Cumulative Returns charts for each Fund assume the initial investment was made on the first day of the Fund’s initial fiscal year. The charts reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any CDSC that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the most recent fiscal year. Results assume that all dividends and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account the effect of taxes. The benchmark cumulative return began on the last day of the month of the respective Fund’s inception date.

Proxy Voting

The Funds’ Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers have adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust (the “Trust”) as the policies and procedures that the Sub-Advisers will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. Copies of the written Proxy Policy and the factors that the Sub-Advisers may consider in determining how to vote proxies for each Fund, and information about how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-988-8380 (retail classes: A, C & R) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class P, R6, Institutional & Administrative classes), on the Allianz Global Investors Distributors website at us.allianzgi.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov.

A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q is available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-988-8380 (retail classes: A, C & R) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class P, R6, Institutional & Administrative classes).

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Shareholder Expense Example, which appears on each Fund Summary page in this Semiannual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Shareholder Expense Example for a Fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

Shareholders of a Fund incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. The Shareholder Expense Example is intended to help shareholders understand ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Shareholder Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period, as indicated, and held for the entire period through March 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”, to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

Shareholders may be subject to an annual fee of $15 for any accounts, including fiduciary accounts, with balances that fall below $1,000. This fee is not included in the shareholder expense example. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and when comparing the expenses of these Funds with other funds.

Credit Ratings

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of a Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined for purposes of presentations in this report by using ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or in the case of AllianzGI Convertible Fund, AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). Previous shareholder reports for AllianzGI Convertible Fund, AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund displayed bond ratings information provided by Moody’s.

Unless otherwise noted, presentations of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by Moody’s because of, among other reasons, the access to background information and other materials provided by Moody’s, as well as the Funds’ considerations of industry practice. With respect to AllianzGI Convertible Fund, AllianzGI High Yield Bond Fund and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income Fund, presentations of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by S&P because of, among other reasons, the applicable portfolio managers’ usage of S&P ratings methodology among other credit quality information in managing the respective portfolios, access to background information and other materials provided by S&P, as well as the Funds’ considerations of industry practice. The Funds also display S&P credit ratings information in materials provided in client presentations.

Bonds not rated by Moody’s or S&P, or bonds that do not have a rating available from Moody’s or S&P are designated as “NR” and “NA”, respectively. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change periodically, even as frequently as daily. Ratings assigned by Moody’s, S&P or another rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings, and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In formulating investment decisions for the applicable Funds, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the sub-adviser to the applicable Funds, develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agencies or third-party research.

Schedule of Investments

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

  

 

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a) Private Placement—Restricted as to resale and may not have a readily available market. Securities with an aggregate value of $293,893,641, representing 32.4% of net assets.

(b) These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the “LIBOR” or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on March 31, 2016.

(c) 144A—Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, typically only to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not considered to be illiquid.

(d) Variable or Floating Rate Security—Securities with an interest rate that changes periodically. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on March 31, 2016.

# Fiscal year end changed from November 30th to September 30th.
(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the period.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the period and a sale of a share on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested. Total return does not reflect sales charges and includes the effect of fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.

# Fiscal year end changed from November 30th to September 30th.
(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the period.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the period and a sale of a share on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested. Total return does not reflect sales charges and includes the effect of fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP. Total investment return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.

(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the period.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the period and a sale of a share on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested. Total return does not reflect sales charges and includes the effect of fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

(a) Valuation of Investments.   Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV as reported on each business day. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. The market value for NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market securities may also be calculated using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price instead of the last reported sales price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange traded futures are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available

(including in cases where available market quotations are deemed to be unreliable), and has delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers. The Trust’s Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds’ valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. Each Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and identifies to the Investment Manager circumstances and events that may require fair valuation. The Investment Manager, in turn, determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer or other factors. If the Investment Manager (in consultation with the Sub-Advisers) determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.

Short-term debt instruments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing premiums or discounts based on their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of each share class of a Fund may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

The prices used by the Funds to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The NAV of each share class of a Fund is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

The prices of certain portfolio securities or financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When fair-valuing the securities, the Funds may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indices) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the time the NAV of each share class of a Fund is calculated. With respect to certain foreign securities, the Funds may fair-value securities using modeling tools provided by third-party vendors. The Funds have retained a statistical research service to assist in determining the fair value of foreign securities. This service utilizes statistics and programs based on historical performance of markets and other economic data to assist in making fair value estimates. Fair value estimates used by the Funds for foreign securities may differ from the value realized from the sale of those securities and the difference could be material to the financial statements. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other assets, and fair values used to determine the NAV of each share class of a Fund may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by a Fund.

(b) Fair Value Measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

n   Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access
n   Level 2—valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs
n   Level 3—valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers’ or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended March 31, 2016 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used. Investments categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities within Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock)—Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

U.S. Treasury Obligations—U.S. Treasury obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Treasury issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Treasury obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Government Sponsored Enterprise and Mortgage-Backed Securities—Government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models based on inputs that include issuer type, coupon, cash flows, mortgage prepayment projection tables and Adjustable Rate Mortgage evaluations that incorporate index data, periodic life caps and the next coupon reset date. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of government sponsored enterprise and mortgage-backed securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Sovereign Debt Obligations—Sovereign debt obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate option adjusted spreads along with benchmark curves and credit spreads. In addition, international bond markets are monitored regularly for information pertaining to the issuer and/or the specific issue. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of sovereign debt obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Corporate Bonds & Notes—Corporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent

pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Convertible Bonds—Convertible bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Option Contracts—Option contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and FLexible EXchange (“FLEX”) options are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates

and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC and FLEX option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts—Forward foreign currency contracts are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, actual trading information and foreign currency exchange rates gathered from leading market makers and foreign currency exchange trading centers throughout the world. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of forward foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Credit Default Swaps—OTC credit default swaps are valued by independent pricing services using pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker/dealers, default probabilities from index specific credit spread curves, recovery rates, and cash flows. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of credit default swaps are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Senior Loans—Senior Loans generally are valued by independent pricing services based on the average of quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, credit spreads and/or other criteria. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Senior Loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

    (108,097

Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, and then are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Funds, using reasonable diligence, become aware of such dividends.

Dividend and interest income on the Statements of Operations are shown net of any foreign taxes withheld on income from foreign securities. Payments received from real estate investment trust securities may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. The payment may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. Dividends from underlying funds are recorded as dividend income, while capital gain distributions are recorded as net capital gain distributions received from underlying funds on the Statements of Operations. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received on settlement date are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Facility fees and other fees received after settlement date relating to senior loans, commitment fees received relating to unfunded purchase commitments and consent fees relating to corporate actions are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses of the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds.

(d) Federal Income Taxes.  The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP, the Investment Manager has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of March 31, 2016, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds’ federal income tax returns for the prior three years, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  The Funds (except AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Global Allocation, AllianzGI Convertible, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI Europe Equity Dividend, AllianzGI High Yield Bond, AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value, AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value II and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income) declare dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AllianzGI Retirement Income, AllianzGI Global Allocation, AllianzGI Convertible, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI Europe Equity Dividend, AllianzGI NFJ Emerging Markets Value, AllianzGI NFJ Global Dividend Value and AllianzGI NFJ International Value II declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. AllianzGI High Yield Bond and AllianzGI Short Duration High Income declare dividends from net investment income monthly and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to their respective shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

(f) Multi-Class Operations.  Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, include administration, administrative servicing, distribution, recoupment, servicing and sub-transfer agent fees.

(g) Foreign Currency Translation.  The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency

market values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain (loss) is included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

The Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

(h) Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds are parties to Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

The Funds enter into transactions, under the Master Repo Agreements, with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults under the Master Repo Agreements, and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. The gross values are included in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at March 31, 2016.

(i) Equity-Linked Securities.  Certain Funds invest in equity-linked securities such as participatory notes (“P-Notes”). P-Notes are used to gain exposure to issuers in certain countries with a costly or lengthy registration process. They are generally traded over-the-counter and constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them. Generally, banks and broker-dealers associated with non-U.S.-based brokerage firms buy securities listed

 

 

  Semiannual Report   |  March 31, 2016   307


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

on certain foreign exchanges and then issue P-Notes which are designed to replicate the performance of certain issuers and markets. To the extent that the Funds invest in equity-linked securities whose return corresponds to the performance of a foreign securities index or one or more foreign stocks, investing in equity-linked securities will involve risks similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk that the issuer of an equity-linked security may default on its obligation under the terms of the arrangement with the counterparty.

(j) Warrants.  The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.

(k) Rights.  The Funds may receive rights. A right is a privilege granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe for shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued. Rights normally have a short life, usually two to four weeks, are freely transferable and entitle the holder to buy the new common stock at a lower price than the public offering price. Rights may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, rights do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not

exceed the exercise price during the life of the right, the right will expire worthless. Rights may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities.

(l) Senior Loans.  The Funds may purchase assignments of, and participations in, Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other financial institution for a lending syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lender”). When purchasing an assignment, the Funds succeed to all the rights and obligations under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender. The Funds may also enter into lending arrangements involving unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Funds to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the principal amounts may never be utilized by the borrower.

Certain Funds may purchase the securities of distressed companies, including companies engaged in restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings. Investments in distressed companies may include senior obligations of an issuer issued in connection with a restructuring under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (commonly known as “debtor-in-possession” or “DIP” financings). Debtor-in-possession financings generally allow the issuer to continue its operations while reorganizing. Such financings constitute senior liens on unencumbered collateral (i.e., collateral not subject to other creditors’ claims). There is risk that the issuer under a debtor-in-possession financing will not emerge from Chapter 11 and be forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the event of liquidation, the Funds’ only recourse would be against the collateral securing the debtor-in-possession financing.

(m) Payment In-Kind Securities.  The Funds may invest in, payment in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.

(n) U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises.  Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation, is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by institutions approved by GNMA and backed by pools of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration or

 

 

308   March 31, 2016  |   Semiannual Report

guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Government-related guarantors not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but its participation certificates are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

(o) Exchange-Traded Funds.  Certain Funds may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), which typically are index-based investment companies that hold substantially all of their assets in securities representing their specific index, but may also be actively-managed investment companies. Shares of ETFs trade throughout the day on an exchange and represent an investment in a portfolio of securities and other assets. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Funds would bear their pro rata portion of the other investment company’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to the expenses the Funds bear directly in connection with their own operations.

(p) Inflation-Indexed Bonds.  Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation.

(q) Convertible Securities.  Certain Funds’ may invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities.

(r) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions.  When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the NAV. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

(s) Organizational and Offering Costs.  Organizational costs are expensed at the inception of the Fund. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period from the inception of the Fund.

(t) Loan Interest Expense.  Loan interest expense relates to amounts borrowed under the credit facility (See Note 14). Loan interest expense is recorded as it is incurred.

 

2. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, credit and leverage risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities’ valuations will change because of changes in interest rates. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments are generally expected to rise. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and the Funds may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. The Funds may not be able to hedge against changes in interest rates or may choose not to do so for cost or other reasons. In addition, any hedges may not work as intended.

Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When the Funds hold variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds’ shares.

The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

To the extent the Funds directly invest in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or

in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, they will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including economic growth, inflation, changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds’ investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Funds. The local emerging market currencies in which the Funds may be invested may experience substantially greater volatility against the U.S. dollar than the major convertible currencies in developed countries.

The Funds are subject to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by the Funds. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by the Funds will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Sub-Advisers seek to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on

recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividend and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses.

The Funds may hold defaulted securities that may involve special considerations including bankruptcy proceedings, other regulatory and legal restrictions affecting the Funds’ ability to trade, and the availability of prices from independent pricing services or dealer quotations. Defaulted securities are often illiquid and may not be actively traded. Sale of securities in bankrupt companies at an acceptable price may be difficult and differences compared to the value of the securities used by the Funds could be material. A Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a portfolio security’s default in the payment of principal or interest. In any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a defaulted investment, a Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value substantially less than its original investment.

The Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Funds.

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Funds and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

The counterparty risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated

and settled on a net basis. The Funds’ overall exposure to counterparty risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

 

3. UNDERLYING FUNDS AND OTHER ACQUIRED FUNDS RISK

AllianzGI Retirement 2015, AllianzGI Retirement 2020, AllianzGI Retirement 2025, AllianzGI Retirement 2030, AllianzGI Retirement 2035, AllianzGI Retirement 2040, AllianzGI Retirement 2045, AllianzGI Retirement 2050, AllianzGI Retirement 2055 and AllianzGI Retirement Income (collectively the “Target Date Funds”) and AllianzGI Global Megatrends intend to invest their assets primarily in series of Allianz Funds, Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust, AllianzGI Institutional Multi-Series Trust, PIMCO Equity Series, PIMCO Funds and PIMCO ETF Trust (together, “Underlying Funds”). AllianzGI Global Allocation, AllianzGI Global Dynamic Allocation, AllianzGI Emerging Markets Debt, AllianzGI Global Fundamental Strategy and AllianzGI Multi-Asset Real Return may invest their assets partially, significantly or primarily in Underlying Funds. The Funds may also invest a portion of their assets in unaffiliated ETFs and mutual funds and pooled vehicles (together, “Other Acquired Funds”). AllianzGI Structured Return and AllianzGI U.S. Equity Hedged expect to achieve their exposure to equity securities by investing in Other Acquired Funds. Accordingly, the investment performance of the Funds depends upon a favorable allocation among the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds as well as the ability of the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds to achieve their objectives. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Underlying Fund or Other Acquired Fund will be achieved. The risks associated with investing in each Fund are closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds.

Investing in the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds involves certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in the Underlying Funds or Other Acquired Funds. Each Fund’s net asset value will fluctuate in response to changes in the net asset values of the Underlying Funds and Other Acquired Funds in which it invests. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with each Fund correlate to those of a particular Underlying Fund or Other Acquired Fund will depend upon the extent to which each Fund’s assets are allocated from time to time for investment in the Underlying Fund or Other Acquired Fund, which will vary. Each Fund’s investment in a particular Underlying Fund may exceed 25% of its assets. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in an Underlying Fund, it will be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with that Underlying Fund.

 

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements

distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges”, and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds at times use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Option Transactions.  The Funds purchase put and call options on securities and indices for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. The risks associated with purchasing an option include the risk that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premiums and changes in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

The Funds may write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities, if any, are reflected as options written in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option written is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

Futures Contracts.  The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the

contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Swap Agreements.  Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market or event-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Funds may enter into credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements in order, among other things, manage their exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

OTC swap payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are reflected as such on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, legal, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Credit Default Swap Agreements—Credit default swap agreements involve one party (referred to as the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or

index. As the sellers of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Funds will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the sellers, the Funds would effectively add leverage to their investment portfolios because, in addition to their total net assets, the Funds would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

If the Funds are sellers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Funds are buyers of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Funds use credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Funds own or have exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues as of period end are disclosed in Note 7(b), serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk, and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include

Table of Contents

 

upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as sellers of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2016 for which the Funds are sellers of protection are disclosed in Note 7(b). These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Funds for the same referenced entity or entities.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. INVESTMENT MANAGER/ADMINISTRATOR/DISTRIBUTOR FEES/ DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Investment Management Fee.  Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (for the purpose of this section, collectively the “Agreements”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Trust’s Board, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, each Fund’s investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly (net of any fee waivers, reimbursements and recoupment), at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Investment Management Fee”).

The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Advisers to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisers are responsible for making all of the investment decisions for the Funds for which they serve as sub-adviser. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Advisers in return for their services.

Distribution and Servicing Fees.  Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of AAM, the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, serves as the distributor of the Funds’ shares pursuant to separate Distribution Servicing Plans for Class A, B, C, D and R. The Distributor, for each of the Funds, receives (i) servicing fees of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each of Class A, B, C, D and R in connection with services rendered to shareholders of each class and the maintenance of shareholder accounts, and (ii) distribution fees of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each of Class B and C (with the exception of Class C for AllianzGI Short Duration High Income which is 0.25%) and 0.25% of average daily net assets of Class R in connection with the distribution of Class B, C and R shares.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plans adopted by the A, B, C, D and R classes, the Funds compensate the Distributor for services provided and expenses incurred in connection with assistance rendered in the sale of shares and services rendered to shareholders and for maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plan for the Administrative Class shares, the Funds are permitted to reimburse the Distributor out of the Administrative Class’ assets of each Fund offering Administrative Class shares, in an amount up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average net assets of the Administrative Class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration plans or programs that use fund shares as their funding medium. Unreimbursed costs may be carried forward for reimbursement for up to twelve months beyond

the date in which they are incurred, subject always to the limit that no more than 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Class may be expensed.

The Distributor also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, B and C shares. For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Distributor received $136,896, representing commissions (sales charges) and CDSC from the Funds.

Class B share and Class D shares were converted into Class A shares at the close of business on December 4, 2015 and November 13, 2015, respectively. See Note 12(d).

Deferred Compensation.  Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Trust. The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan for the Trustees that went into place on January 1, 2015 and permits the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Trust, at their election, in accordance with the terms of the plan. Under the plan, each Trustee may elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the Trust on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such compensation had been invested in one or more series of the Trust or Allianz Funds selected by the Trustees from and after the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program is structured such that the Trust remains in substantially the same financial position whether Trustee fees are paid when earned or deferred.

(2) The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the status at March 31, 2016 of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement have been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately, annually approve the continuation of (i) the Trust’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) on behalf of each Fund (as defined below) with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”), and (ii) the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Investment Manager and the applicable sub-adviser for each Fund. The Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements.” The sub-advisers for the Funds include Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”) and NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”) (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

With respect to the Funds, the Independent Trustees had a pre-meeting on March 10, 2016 with independent counsel to discuss the materials provided by the Investment Manager in response to the Independent Trustees’ written request for information regarding the annual renewals. Representatives from Fund management attended portions of that meeting to review, among other matters, the comparative fee and expense information and comparative performance information prepared and provided by Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) for each Fund using its respective Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) peer universe for performance comparison and Broadridge peer universe for expense comparisons.

At an in-person meeting held on March 22, 2016, the Board and the Independent Trustees unanimously approved the continuation of the Agreements for an additional one-year period from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 with respect to AllianzGI Retirement 2015 Fund (the “2015 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2020 Fund (the “2020 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2025 Fund (the “2025 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2030 Fund (the “2030 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2035 Fund (the “2035 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2040 Fund (the “2040 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2045 Fund (the “2045 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2050 Fund (the “2050 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement 2055 Fund (the “2055 Fund”), AllianzGI Retirement Income Fund (the “Retirement Income Fund” and, together with the 2015 Fund, the 2020 Fund, the 2025 Fund, the 2030 Fund, the 2035 Fund, the 2040 Fund, the 2045 Fund, the 2050 Fund and the 2055 Fund, the “Retirement Funds”), AllianzGI Global Allocation Fund (the “Global Allocation Fund”), AllianzGI Global Dynamic Allocation Fund (the “Global Dynamic Fund” and, together with the Global Allocation Fund, the “Allocation Funds”), AllianzGI Best Styles Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Best Styles Emerging Markets Fund”), AllianzGI Best Styles Global Equity Fund (the “Best Styles Global Equity Fund”), AllianzGI Best Styles International Equity Fund (the “Best Styles International Equity Fund”), AllianzGI Best Styles U.S. Equity Fund (the “Best Styles US Equity Fund”), AllianzGI China Equity Fund (the “China Equity Fund”), AllianzGI Convertible Fund (the “Convertible Fund”), AllianzGI Emerging Markets Consumer Fund (the “Emerging Markets Consumer

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of these approvals for the Funds are discussed below.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements and the factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during their contract review meetings.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the approval of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of

 

 

382   March 31, 2016  |   Semiannual Report  


Table of Contents

 

the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services to be performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers under the Agreements.

In connection with their deliberations, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager including, among other items: (i) information provided by Broadridge, an independent third party, for the Funds on the investment performance of a group of funds with investment classifications and/or objectives comparable to those of the Funds identified by Lipper (the “Lipper performance universe”), the performance of applicable benchmark indices and the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods; (ii) information on the Funds’ management fees and other expenses and information compiled from Broadridge, as applicable, on the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Broadridge; (iii) to the extent applicable, information regarding the investment performance and fees for other funds and accounts managed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers or their affiliates, including institutional and separate accounts, with similar investment objective(s) and policies to those of the Funds, if any; (iv) an estimate of the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015; (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; and (vi) information regarding the overall organization and business functions of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, including, without limitation, information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing or proposed to provide investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the approval of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors. The Trustees recognized that the fee arrangements for the Funds are the result of years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and the Investment Manager, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years. The Trustees evaluated information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. However, they also took into account the common interests of all series of the Trust in their review. The Trustees also took into account that the Investment Manager had proposed the

continuation of certain advisory fee waivers and expense caps for the Funds, with various proposed modifications and advisory fee reductions for certain Funds. The Trustees also considered the risk profiles of each Fund.

Performance Information

Fund-specific performance results for the Funds reviewed by the Trustees are discussed below. The comparative performance information was prepared and provided by Broadridge and was not independently verified by the Trustees. Due to the passage of time, these performance results may differ from the performance results for more recent periods, including those shown elsewhere in this report. With respect to all Funds, the Trustees reviewed, among other information, comparative information showing performance for Class A and Institutional Class (or, in the case of the Retirement Funds, Class R6) shares of the Funds against their respective Lipper performance universes for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods (to the extent each such Fund had been in existence) ended September 30, 2015. For Funds that commenced operations during the Trust’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Trustees reviewed comparative information showing performance for Class A and Institutional Class shares of the Funds against their respective Lipper performance universes for the period from the Fund’s inception through September 30, 2015. Institutional Class performance (or, in the case of the Retirement Funds, Class R6 performance) relative to the median for each Fund’s Lipper performance universe is described below, and for those Funds with performance that ranked below the median for their respective Lipper performance universes, the specific quintile rankings for Institutional Class shares are also noted below with respect to the relevant periods of underperformance.

In addition, the Trustees considered matters bearing on the Funds and their advisory arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting.

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers to provide high-quality investment management and other services to the Funds. Among other information, the Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision making processes of the Sub-Advisers; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Investment Manager, Sub-Advisers or their affiliates, as applicable, responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain capable personnel; and the capability of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Advisers’ services with respect to regulatory compliance and ability to comply with the investment and compliance policies and procedures of the Funds; the nature, extent and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the ability of the Investment Manager or the Sub-Advisers to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers’ investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well-suited to each Fund given its investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under each Agreement.

Fee and Expense Information

In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds’ fees and expenses under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Fund’s management fee (or, in the case of the Retirement Funds, each Retirement Fund’s advisory fee) and each Fund’s total expense ratio as a percentage of average daily net assets and the management fees and total expense ratios of peer groups of funds based on information provided by Broadridge. The Trustees also noted the management fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreements observed by the Investment Manager for the Funds that cap fees or expenses of their various share classes, as certain of these arrangements were proposed to be modified by the Investment Manager. The Trustees also considered, among other items: (i) the level of the Funds’ Sub-Advisory fees; (ii) the allocation of the Management Fee between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and the services provided by

the Investment Manager, on the one hand, and the Sub-Advisers, on the other hand; and (iii) that the Investment Manager (and not the Funds) pays the Sub-Advisory fees.

In comparing the Funds to their respective Broadridge peers with respect to expenses, the Trustees noted that the Funds (other than the Retirement Funds) were not charged a separate administration fee, recognizing that their management fee includes a component for administrative services, while many of the Funds’ Broadridge peers have separate advisory and administration agreements with separate fees. The Trustees also took into account the “unitary” administrative fee structure applicable to the Retirement Funds, under which certain third-party services that are ordinarily the financial responsibility of a mutual fund (e.g., audit, custody, accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing services) are, in the case of the Retirement Funds, paid for by the Investment Manager out of the administrative fee.

The Trustees also considered information showing the advisory fees charged by the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers to other funds and accounts, including institutional and separate accounts, with similar investment objective(s) and policies to those of the Funds, if any. In comparing these fees, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager as to the generally broader and more extensive services provided to the Funds in comparison to institutional or separate accounts, the higher demands placed on the Investment Manager’s investment personnel and trading infrastructure as a result of the daily cash in-flows and out-flows of the Funds, the greater entrepreneurial risk in managing retail mutual funds, and the impact on the Investment Manager and expenses associated with the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional or separate accounts.

The Trustees reviewed information provided by Broadridge comparing each Fund’s advisory fee or management fee, as applicable, and ratios of total expenses to net assets (“total expense ratios”) for two share classes (Class A and Institutional Class share classes (or, in the case of the Funds, Class R6)) to those of a group of comparable funds for the most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. Class A shares of the applicable Broadridge-selected group of comparable funds are referred to below as the “retail expense group,” and Institutional Class or Class R6 shares, as applicable, are referred to as the “institutional expense group.” The Trustees noted that the Broadridge data takes into account any fee reductions or expense limitations that were in effect during a Fund’s last fiscal year. The Fund-specific fee and expense results discussed below were prepared and provided by Broadridge and were not independently verified by the Trustees. The Funds’ fee and expense rankings are discussed below relative to the median of the applicable Broadridge-selected group of comparable funds. A Fund whose fees and expenses were below median had fees and expenses that were less than the median fees and expenses of its peer group, while a Fund whose fees and expenses were above median had fees and expenses that were higher than the median fees and expenses of its peer group. For those Funds whose fees or

expenses were higher than the median, the specific quintile rankings are also noted below with respect to the relevant above-median fee or expense categories (unless quintile rankings were not provided to the Trustees by Broadridge, in which case fund rankings are provided). For these purposes, higher fees and expenses result in a lower quintile ranking, with the first quintile being the highest and the fifth quintile being the lowest ranking. For example, a Fund with the highest fees and expenses relative to its peer group would rank in the fifth quintile, while a Fund with the lowest fees and expenses relative to its peer group would rank in the first quintile.

Retirement Funds and Allocation Funds. For the 2015 Fund, 2020 Fund, 2025 Fund, 2030 Fund, 2035 Fund and Retirement Income Fund advisory fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above the median for the retail expense group and below the median for the institutional expense group. For the 2040 Fund and 2050 Fund, advisory fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were at median for the retail expense group and below the median for the institutional expense group. For the 2045 Fund, advisory fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above median for the retail expense group and at median for the institutional expense group. For the 2055 Fund, advisory fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were at median for both the retail expense group and institutional expense group. For the Global Dynamic Allocation Fund and Global Allocation Fund, management fees and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups.

AllianzGI Funds. For the Best Styles Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Best Styles International Equity Fund and Best Styles US Fund, management fees and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for the institutional expense group (the Funds began offering Class A and Class C shares on April 26, 2016 and the Best Styles Global Equity Fund began offering Class C shares on April 26, 2016). For the Best Styles Global Equity Fund, China Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Consumer Fund, Europe Equity Dividend Fund, Global Fundamental Strategy Fund, Global Sustainability Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Multi-Asset Real Return, Short Duration High Income Fund, Structured Return and US Equity Hedged Fund, management fees and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the Convertible Fund, management fees for both retail and institutional expense groups were below median and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were at median for the retail expense group and below median for the

Matters Relating to the Trustees’ Consideration of the Investment Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements (cont’d)

 

institutional expense group. For the Emerging Markets Small-Cap Fund, management fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were at median for the retail expense group and below median for the institutional expense group. For the Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Global Megatrends Fund management fees were below median (Global Megatrends Fund does not charge a management fee) for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above median for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the International Growth Fund, management fees were at median for the retail expense group and below median for the institutional expense group, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the International Small-Cap Fund, management fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for the retail expense group and above median (in the fourth quintile) for the institutional expense group. For the Micro Cap Fund, management fees were above median (in the fifth quintile) for the retail expense group and at median for the institutional expense group, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above (fourth quintile) median for the retail expense group and at median for the institutional expense group. For the Ultra Micro Cap Fund, management fees and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above median (in the fifth quintile) for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the Global Water Fund, management fees were above median (in the fifth quintile and fourth quintile, respectively) for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were above median (in the fifth quintile) for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the U.S. Small-Cap Growth Fund, management fees were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for the retail expense group and above median (in the fourth quintile) for the institutional expense group.

NFJ Funds. For the NFJ Emerging Markets Value Fund, NFJ International Small-Cap Value Fund and the NFJ International Value II Fund, management fees and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups. For the NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund, management fees were above the median (in the fourth quintile) for both the retail and institutional expense groups, and total expense ratios (taking fee waivers and/or expense limitations into account) were below median for both the retail and institutional expense groups.

The Trustees considered the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers may realize economies of scale or other efficiencies in managing and supporting the Funds. The Trustees took into account that, as open-end investment companies, the Funds intend to raise additional assets, so as the assets of the Funds grow over time, certain economies of scale and other efficiencies may be realized through spreading certain fixed costs across a larger asset base or across a variety of products and services, while also taking into account the fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements observed by the Investment Manager for applicable Funds. Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers to the Funds.

The Trustees considered and approved fee reductions and waivers to certain Funds effective April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017. For the NFJ Global Dividend Value Fund, the Trustees approved a temporary 0.10% waiver of the investment management fee paid by the Fund to the Investment Manager. The Trustees approved a corresponding 0.10% waiver of the sub-advisory fee paid by the Investment Manager to NFJ, the Fund’s sub-adviser and approved a 0.10% reduction in the Fund’s expense cap for each share class. For the NFJ International Value II Fund, Trustees approved a temporary 0.05% waiver of the investment management fee paid by the Fund to the Investment Manager. The Trustees approved a corresponding 0.05% waiver of the sub-advisory fee paid by the Investment Manager to NFJ, the Fund’s sub-adviser and approved a 0.05% reduction in the Fund’s expense cap for each share class. For the US Small-Cap Growth Fund, the Trustees approved a permanent 0.10% reduction in the investment management fee paid by the Fund to the Investment Manager. The Trustees approved a corresponding 0.10% reduction in the sub-advisory fee paid by the Investment Manager to AllianzGI US, the Fund’s sub-adviser and approved a 0.20% reduction in the Fund’s expense cap for each share class.

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and Sub-Advisers’ responses and efforts relating to the investment performance of the Funds, including efforts to improve performance for underperforming Funds. With respect to the Funds, the Trustees also concluded that the fees payable under each Agreement represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisers, as the case may be, and should be continued. Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the continuation of the Agreements with respect to the Funds were in the interests of the applicable Funds and their shareholders, and should be approved.
