Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Please find enclosed the Annual Report for the PIMCO Equity Series covering the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2016. The following pages contain specific details about the investment performance of each fund and a discussion of the factors that most affected performance during the reporting period.

 

Outside of the reporting period, PIMCO announced on July 19, 2016 that the firm’s Managing Directors have selected Emmanuel (Manny) Roman as PIMCO’s next Chief Executive Officer. PIMCO’s current CEO Douglas Hodge will assume a new role as Managing Director and Senior Advisor when Mr. Roman joins PIMCO on November 1st.

 

The announcement of Mr. Roman as PIMCO’s CEO is the culmination of a process undertaken by the firm to hire a senior executive who would add leadership and strategic insights combined with a deep appreciation of PIMCO’s diversified global businesses, investment process and focus on superior investment performance and client-service. Mr. Roman’s appointment has the full support of the firm’s leadership including Mr. Hodge, PIMCO’s President Jay Jacobs, the firm’s Executive Committee and its Managing Directors. Mr. Roman has nearly 30 years of experience in the investment industry, with expertise in fixed income and proven executive leadership, most recently as CEO of Man Group PLC, one of the world’s largest publicly-traded alternative asset managers and a leader in liquid, high-alpha investment strategies.

 

Highlights of the financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period include:

 

  n   

The first half of the reporting period through mid-February 2016 was marked by ongoing concerns over the global impact of a slowdown in the Chinese economy, which drove commodity prices and inflation expectations generally lower. By March, a recovery in the price of oil and expectations of lower interest rates for longer supported a rally in risk assets. The Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) and the People’s Bank of China, for example, indicated their intent for further policy easing, with the BOJ resorting to a negative interest rate policy in February 2016. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) also resorted to unconventional monetary policy with additional easing measures and an expansion of its quantitative easing program by shifting its focus toward domestic credit, pushing government yields into negative territory. In June 2016, the ECB began purchasing corporate bonds to help invigorate economic growth and stimulate inflation in the region.

 

  n   

In the U.S., concerns regarding the global impact of tightening financial conditions and renewed U.S. dollar strength kept the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) on hold at their June 2016 meeting, after slightly raising interest rates at their December 2015 meeting. In addition, the U.S. dollar appreciated against most European and emerging market currencies, while falling against the Japanese yen. The U.S. interest rate yield curve flattened as the ten-year U.S. Treasury yield rallied to all-time lows and short-term rates rose with the initial December 2015 Fed rate hike. Revised first quarter 2016 U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) data released in late June was marginally stronger as retail sales, housing and consumer sentiment data indicated an improving economy.

 

  n   

Market movements and news headlines at the end of the reporting period were dominated by the unexpected outcome of the U.K. referendum on June 23, 2016. Initial investor reaction to the Brexit vote was largely “risk-off” as various assets re-priced to the surprise outcome, with U.S. Treasuries, the Japanese yen and gold headlining a safe-haven rally. However, aside from the Pound Sterling and European and Japanese equities, most asset classes recovered in the ensuing week as investors reassessed the impact of the Brexit vote on global growth expectations.

 

  n   

Global developed market equities experienced weak performance amid a period marked by economic uncertainty, increased volatility and geopolitical concerns. U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, were a bright spot, returning 3.99% over the reporting period. International equity markets (developed ex-U.S.), as represented by the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Hedged) declined 9.90% over the reporting period and the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Unhedged) declined 10.16% over the reporting period. Japanese equities, as represented by the Nikkei 225 Index in JPY, declined 21.86% over the reporting period, and

Table of Contents
 

European equities, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index in EUR, declined 10.96% over the reporting period. During the first eight months of the reporting period, declining commodities prices and China’s economic deceleration drove concerns of slowing global growth, which weighed on equity returns. However, in the last third of the reporting period, developed market equities began to rebound from previous lows as global central banks resorted to increasingly unconventional monetary policy. However, late in the reporting period in June, global equities were pressured once again due to Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

 

  n   

Emerging market (“EM”) equities, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Dividends in USD), declined 12.05% over the reporting period. Concerns over slower economic growth in China, a bear market in commodities, political corruption in Latin America and several attempts by the People’s Bank of China to support the domestic equity market added to fears of slowing global growth. Late in the reporting period, emerging market equities experienced a strong rebound following February 2016 lows, with cyclicals and commodity-linked markets leading the rally.

 

  n   

U.S. Treasuries, as represented by the Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, returned 6.22% for the reporting period. Yields beyond one-year maturities declined across the U.S. Treasury yield curve as a more dovish tone from the Fed after its June 2016 meeting, coupled with the surprise result of the U.K. referendum, pushed expectations for policy normalization further into the future. Investors also looked to U.S. Treasuries for their perceived safety and as a source of high-quality yield. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury note yielded 1.49% at the end of the reporting period, down from 2.35% on June 30, 2015. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, a widely used index of U.S. investment-grade bonds, returned 6.00% for the reporting period.

Important Information About the Funds

 

We believe that equity funds have an important role to play in a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that equity funds are subject to notable risks. Among other things, equity and equity-related securities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions.

 

The values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions, 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity securities may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages, increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, the value of an equity security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments and a change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole.

 

During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes, including equity securities, may decline in value simultaneously. The market price of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities and common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential of all equity securities.

 

The Funds may be subject to various risks as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: new/small fund risk, equity risk, dividend-oriented stocks risk, value investing risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, emerging markets risk, sovereign debt risk, market risk, issuer risk, interest rate risk, call risk, credit risk, high yield and distressed company risk, cash holdings risk, currency risk, real estate risk, liquidity risk, leveraging risk, issuer non-diversification risk, management risk, small-cap and mid-cap company risk, derivatives risk, mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities risk, short sale risk, convertible securities risk and model risk. A complete description of these and other risks is contained in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, leverage risk, management risk and the risk that a Fund

may not be able to close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Certain derivative transactions may have a leveraging effect on a Fund. For example, a small investment in a derivative instrument may have a significant impact on a Fund’s exposure to interest rates, currency exchange rates or other investments. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an asset, instrument or component of the index underlying a derivative instrument may cause an immediate and substantial loss or gain, which translates into heightened volatility for the Funds. A Fund may engage in such transactions regardless of whether the Fund owns the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative instrument. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in these types of instruments. If it does, the Fund’s investment exposure could far exceed the value of its portfolio securities and its investment performance could be primarily dependent upon securities it does not own. Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may entail risk due to foreign (non-U.S.) economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.

 

The value of an equity security of an issuer that has paid dividends in the past may decrease if the issuer reduces or eliminates future payments to its shareholders. If the dividends or distributions received by a Fund decrease, the Fund may have less income to distribute to the Fund’s shareholders. In addition, during certain market conditions, the equity securities of issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions may not be widely available or may be highly concentrated in particular sectors of the market. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in value stocks. Value stocks may perform differently from other types of stocks and the market as a whole. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.

 

The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.

 

On each individual Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table and Cumulative Returns chart measure performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on (i) Fund distributions or (ii) the redemption of Fund shares. The Cumulative Returns chart and Average Annual Total Return table reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the period shown in the Cumulative Returns

chart. Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. A CDSC may be imposed in certain circumstances on Class A shares that are purchased without an initial sales charge and then redeemed during the first (i) 18 months after purchase for purchases made prior to August 10, 2015 and (ii) 12 months after purchase for purchases made on or after August 10, 2015. The Cumulative Returns chart reflects only

Institutional Class performance. Performance for Class P, Administrative Class, Class D, Class A, Class C and Class R shares, if applicable, are typically lower than Institutional Class performance due to the lower expenses paid by Institutional Class shares. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. A Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios

on each individual Fund Summary page are as of the currently effective prospectus, as supplemented to date. The minimum initial investment amount for Institutional Class, Class P and Administrative Class shares is $1,000,000. The minimum initial investment amount for Class A, Class C and Class D shares is $1,000. There is no minimum initial investment for Class R shares. Each Fund measures its performance against a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark index”). The benchmark index does not take into account fees, expenses, or taxes. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Trust. The Trustees authorize the Trust to enter into service agreements with the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Trust and the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither a Fund’s prospectus nor a Fund’s summary prospectus, the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), any contracts filed as exhibits to the Trust’s registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings (including this report) from or on behalf of the Trust or a Fund creates a contract between or among any shareholder of a Fund, on the one hand, and the Trust, a Fund, a service provider to the Trust or a Fund, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Trust, on the other hand. The Trustees (or the Trust and its officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend the most recent prospectus or use a new prospectus, summary prospectus or SAI with respect to a Fund or the Trust, and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which the Trust or a Fund is a party, and interpret the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to any Fund, without shareholder

input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement is specifically disclosed in the Trust’s then-current prospectus or SAI.

 

PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by PIMCO Equity Series as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting proxies on behalf of a Fund. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of a Fund, and information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30th, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at (888) 87-PIMCO, on the Fund’s website at www.pimco.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov.

 

PIMCO Equity Series files a complete schedule of each Fund’s portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. A copy of a Fund’s Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. A Fund’s Form N-Q will also be available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at (888) 87-PIMCO and on the Fund’s website at www.pimco.com. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Investment Objective and Strategy Overview

 

  »  

PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund (formerly, PIMCO Dividend and Income Builder Fund) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income that exceeds the average yield on global stocks, by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of income-producing investments, and will typically invest between 60-80% of its assets in equity and equity-related securities (such portion of the Fund’s portfolio, the “Equity Sleeve”) providing exposure to a portfolio of stocks (the “RAE Income Global Portfolio”). The stocks for the Equity Sleeve are selected by the Fund’s sub-adviser, Research Affiliates, LLC from a broad universe of global equities.

* For periods prior to April 20, 2012, the Fund’s performance reflects the performance when the Fund was a partnership, net of actual fees and expenses charged to individual partnership accounts in the aggregate. If the performance had been restated to reflect the applicable fees and expenses of each share class, the performance may have been higher or lower. The Fund began operations as a partnership on January 1, 2003 and, on April 20, 2012, was reorganized into a newly-formed fund that was registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had an investment objective, investment strategies, investment guidelines, and restrictions that were substantially similar to those currently applicable to the Fund; however, the Fund was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and was not subject to its requirements or requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance. The performance of Class P, D, A and C shares for the period from April 20, 2012 to April 30, 2012 is based on the performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The performance of each class of shares will differ as a result of the different levels of fees and expenses applicable to each class of shares.

 

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The adjusted returns take into account the maximum sales charge of 5.50% on Class A shares and 1.00% CDSC on Class C shares.

 

The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, as supplemented to date, is 1.91% for the Institutional Class shares, 2.01% for the Class P shares, 2.26% for the Class D shares, 2.26% for the Class A shares, and 3.01% for the Class C shares. Details regarding any Fund’s operating expenses can be found in the Fund’s prospectus. For performance current to the most recent month-end, visit www.pimco.com.

Expense Examples

 

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for all Funds and share classes is from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

 

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these rows, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the column titled “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 (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 the 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, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (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.

 

Expense ratios may vary from period to period because of various factors such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the management fees, such as fees and expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

* Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the net annualized expense ratio for the class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 179/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

 

** Net Annualized Expense Ratio is reflective of any applicable contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements or voluntary fee waivers. Details regarding fee waivers can be found in Note 8 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(1) 

If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the 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 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.

(2) 

The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(3) 

The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status 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 be 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 indices’ credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

PIMCO Equity Series® (the “Trust”) was established as a Delaware statutory trust on December 28, 2009. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class, Class P, Class D, Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) indicated on the cover of this report. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) serves as the investment adviser (the “Adviser”) for the Funds. Effective June 16, 2016, Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the interim sub-adviser with respect to the equity portion of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund (formerly, PIMCO Dividend and Income Builder Fund). Effective June 16, 2016, PIMCO and Research Affiliates have also engaged Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric”) on an interim basis to implement the equity portion of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund’s investment strategies. As of the date of this report, a meeting of the shareholders of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund is scheduled for August 26, 2016 to approve definitive agreements retaining Research Affiliates and Parametric as sub-adviser and portfolio implementer, respectively.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund is treated as an investment company under the reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Securities Transactions and Investment Income  Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled 15 days or more after the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income

is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest income or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains (losses) on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as realized gains.

 

Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is probable.

 

(b) Cash and Foreign Currency  The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments on the Statements of Operations. The Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract (see Financial Derivative Instruments, if any). Realized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities

June 30, 2016

 

other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency assets and liabilities on the Statements of Operations.

 

(c) Multiclass 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 and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) are allocated daily based on the relative assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include supervisory and administrative and distribution and servicing fees. Under certain circumstances, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of a class of the respective Fund’s shares may be different from the per share NAV of another class of shares as a result of the different daily expense accruals applicable to each class of shares.

 

(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders  The following table shows the anticipated frequency of dividends from net investment income, if any, for each Fund. Distributions from each Fund may be declared and distributed to shareholders only upon the authorization of the Adviser, which authorization may be withheld at the Adviser’s discretion.

 

Declared and Paid Annually:

PIMCO EqS® Long/Short Fund

Declared and Paid Quarterly:

PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund

 

Net realized capital gains earned by each Fund, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.

 

Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of transactions that may cause character differences include the treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed (overdistributed) net investment income (loss), accumulated undistributed (overdistributed) net realized gain (loss) and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

 

(e) Statements of Cash Flows  U.S. GAAP requires entities providing financial statements that report both financial position and results of operations to also provide a Statement of Cash Flows for each period for which results of operations are provided, but exempts investment companies meeting certain conditions. One of the conditions is that substantially all of the entity’s investments were carried at fair value during the period and classified as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP. Another condition is that the entity had little or no debt, based on the average debt outstanding during the period, in relation to average total assets. Funds with certain degrees of borrowing activity, typically through the use of reverse repurchase agreements or sale-buyback transactions, have been determined to be at a level requiring a Statement of Cash Flows. Statements of Cash Flows, as applicable, have been prepared using the indirect method which requires net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations to be adjusted to reconcile to net cash flows from operating activities.

 

(f) New Accounting Pronouncements  In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2014-11, that expanded secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU became effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The Funds have adopted the ASU. The financial statements have been modified to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding secured borrowing transactions, if any. See the Notes to Schedules of Investments for additional details.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective prospectively for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

 

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

(a) Investment Valuation Policies  The price of a Fund’s shares is based on the Fund’s NAV. The NAV of a Fund, or each of its share classes, as applicable, is determined by dividing the total value of portfolio investments and other assets attributable to that Fund or class, less any liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding of that Fund or class. On each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, Fund shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (“NYSE Close”). Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. Each Fund reserves the right to change the time its respective NAV is calculated if the Fund closes earlier, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from established market makers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Funds’ approved pricing services, quotation reporting systems and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Services”). The Funds will normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by the Adviser to be the primary exchange. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close, if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange. Domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives, and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those

securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Services may be based on, among other things, information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Exchange- traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or market-based prices supplied by Pricing Services or other pricing sources. With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), the Fund’s NAV will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.

 

If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value based on procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, the Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by Pricing Services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Fund 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 NYSE Close. A Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-U.S. securities. Foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may result in a Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares.

 

Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market exists to a reliable degree will be valued at the mean of the last available bid/ask prices in the market for such loans, as provided by a Pricing Service. Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market does not exist to a reliable degree will be valued at fair value, which is intended to approximate market value. In valuing a senior secured floating rate loan at fair value, the factors considered may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants, (b) the terms of the loan, (c) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any, and (d) recent prices in the market for instruments of similar quality, rate, period until next interest rate reset and maturity.

Investments 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 value of such investments and, in turn, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments 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 Trust is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Fund holds foreign (non-U.S.) investments, the value of those investments may change at times when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares and the value of such investments will be reflected in the Fund’s next calculated NAV.

 

Investments for which market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or persons acting at their direction. The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods. In the event that market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to a Board approved valuation method, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Oversight Committee of the Board (“Valuation Oversight Committee”), generally based on recommendations provided by the Adviser. The Adviser may consult with the Sub-Adviser or Parametric in providing such recommendations or otherwise with respect to valuation of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, indicative market quotations (“Broker Quotes”), Pricing Services’ prices), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be reevaluated in light of such significant events.

 

When a Fund uses fair valuation to determine the value of a portfolio security or other asset for purposes of calculating its NAV, such investments will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe

reflects fair value. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. The Funds’ use of fair valuation may also help to deter “stale price arbitrage” as discussed under the “Abusive Trading Practices” section in each Fund’s prospectus.

 

(b) Fair Value Hierarchy  U.S. GAAP describes fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, or 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

n   

Level 1 — Inputs using (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

n   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

n   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

 

In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to realized gain (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation), purchases and sales,

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   39


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

accrued discounts (premiums), and transfers into and out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, and if material, a Level 3 reconciliation and details of significant unobservable inputs, have been included in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

 

(c) Valuation Techniques and the Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 and Level 2 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value  The valuation methods (or “techniques”) and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of portfolio securities or other assets and liabilities categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The Pricing Services’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis or as a repurchase commitment in a sale-buyback transaction are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by Pricing Services that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Common stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated

at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the NYSE Close. These securities are valued using Pricing Services that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Preferred securities and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity-linked securities are valued by referencing the last reported sale or settlement price of the linked referenced equity on the day of valuation. Foreign exchange adjustments are applied to the last reported price to convert the linked equity’s trading currency to the contract’s settling currency. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than ETFs) will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in unregistered open-end investment companies will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments and are considered Level 1 provided that the NAVs are observable, calculated daily and are the value at which both purchases and sales will be conducted. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemption where the inputs to the NAVs are observable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, so long as the amortized cost of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Prior to July 31, 2015, short-term debt investments having a maturity of 60 days or less and repurchase agreements were generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Short-term debt instruments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity exchange-traded options and over the counter financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, options contracts, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a

combination of these factors. Other than swap agreements, which are valued using a broker-dealer bid quotation or on market-based prices provided by Pricing Services or other pricing sources, these contracts are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or Pricing Services (normally determined as of the NYSE Close). Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, financial derivative instruments can be valued by Pricing Services using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as quoted prices, issuer details, indices, bid/ask spreads, interest rates, implied volatilities, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Financial derivative instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange (if available).

For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable price levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 3 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value  When a fair valuation method is applied by the Adviser that uses significant unobservable inputs, investments will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The validity of fair value is reviewed by the Adviser on a periodic basis and may be amended in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.

 

 

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

(a) Investments in Affiliates

Each Fund may invest in the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio III (“Central Fund”) to the extent permitted by the Act and rules thereunder. The Central Fund is a registered investment company created for use solely by the series of the Trust and other series of registered investment companies advised by the Adviser, in connection with their cash management activities. The main investments of the Central Fund are money market and short maturity fixed income instruments. The Central Fund may incur expenses related to its investment activities, but does not pay Investment Advisory Fees or Supervisory and Administrative Fees to the Adviser. The Central Fund is considered to be affiliated with the Funds. The table below shows the Funds’ transactions in and earnings from investments in the affiliated Fund for the period ended June 30, 2016 (amounts in thousands):

(b) Investments in Securities

Loan Participations, Assignments and Originations  Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties or investments in or originations of loans by the Fund or Funds. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may

have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When a Fund purchases assignments from agents it acquires direct rights against the borrowers of the loans. These loans may include participations in bridge loans, which are loans taken out by borrowers for a short period (typically less than one year) pending arrangement of more permanent financing through, for example, the issuance of bonds, frequently high yield bonds issued for the purpose of acquisitions.

 

The types of loans and related investments in which the Funds may invest include, among others, senior loans, subordinated loans (including second lien loans, B-Notes and mezzanine loans), whole

loans, commercial real estate and other commercial loans and structured loans. The Funds may originate loans or acquire direct interests in loans through primary loan distributions and/or in private transactions. In the case of subordinated loans, there may be significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the borrower’s obligation to the holder of such a loan, including in the event of the borrower’s insolvency. Mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of an equity interest in the mortgage borrower that owns the real estate rather than an interest in a mortgage.

 

Investments in loans may include unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate a Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the committed amount may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2016, the Funds had no unfunded loan commitments outstanding.

 

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities  Certain Funds may invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, loans on real property. Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. These securities provide a monthly payment which consists of both interest and principal. Interest may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. Many of the risks of

investing in mortgage-related securities secured by commercial mortgage loans reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make lease payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. These securities may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities. Other asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, and student loans.

 

Collateralized Debt Obligations  (“CDOs”) include Collateralized Bond Obligations (“CBOs”), Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset-backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. In addition to the normal risks associated with fixed income securities discussed elsewhere in this report and each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (e.g., prepayment risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, structural risk, legal risk and interest rate risk (which may be exacerbated if the interest rate payable on a structured financing changes based on multiples of changes in interest rates or inversely to changes in interest rates)), CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) a Fund may invest in CBOs, CLOs, or other CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

 

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations  (“CMOs”) are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage bonds and divided into classes. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each class bearing a different stated maturity and entitled to a different schedule for payments of principal and interest, including prepayments. CMOs may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-related or asset-backed securities.

 

Payment In-Kind Securities  Certain Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs may give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or

 

 

42   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES

June 30, 2016

 

additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

REITs  Certain Funds may invest in REITs, which are pooled investment vehicles that own, and typically operate, income-producing real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. Distributions received from REITs may be characterized as income, capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by a Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of its investment in the REIT. REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so the Funds that invest in REITs will bear their proportionate share of the costs of the REITs’ operations.

 

Restricted Securities  Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities may generally be sold privately, but are required to be registered or exempted from such registration before being sold to the public. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Disposal of restricted securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted securities held by the Funds at June 30, 2016 are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

U.S. Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises  Certain Funds may invest in securities of U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. Government securities are obligations of and, in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”); and others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations. U.S. Government securities may include zero coupon securities. Zero coupon securities do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to a greater risk than interest-paying securities.

Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. 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 issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

Warrants  Certain 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 are 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.

 

When-Issued Transactions  Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis. These transactions are made

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   43


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued in the market. Transactions to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell these securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. A Fund may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss).

 

5. BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

 

The following disclosures contain information on a Fund’s ability to lend or borrow cash or securities to the extent permitted under the Act, which may be viewed as borrowing or financing transactions by a Fund. The location of these instruments in each Fund’s financial statements is described below. For a detailed description of credit and counterparty risks that can be associated with borrowings and other financing transactions, please see Note 7, Principal Risks.

 

(a) Repurchase Agreements  Certain Funds may engage in repurchase agreements. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held by a Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Repurchase agreements, if any, including accrued interest, are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for collateral, a Fund may pay a fee for the receipt of collateral, which may result in interest expense to the Fund.

 

(b) Short Sales  Certain Funds may enter into short sales transactions. Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security that it may not own. A Fund may make short sales of securities to (i) offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities, (ii) to increase the flexibility of the Fund, (iii) for investment return, (iv) as part of a risk arbitrage strategy, and (v) as part of its overall portfolio management strategies involving the use of derivative instruments. When a Fund engages in a short sale, it may borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the counterparty. A Fund will ordinarily have to pay a fee or premium to borrow a security and be obligated to repay the lender of the security any dividend or interest that accrues on the security during the period of the loan. Securities sold in short sale transactions and the dividend or interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as payable for short sales on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Short sales expose a Fund to the risk that it will be required to cover its short position at a time when the security or other asset has

appreciated in value, thus resulting in losses to the Fund. A short sale is “against the box” if a Fund holds in its portfolio or has the right to acquire the security sold short at no additional cost. A Fund will be subject to additional risks to the extent that it engages in short sales that are not “against the box.” A Fund’s loss on a short sale could theoretically be unlimited in cases where the Fund is unable, for whatever reason, to close out its short position.

 

6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use financial derivative instruments, and how financial derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of financial derivative contract and related risk exposure, are included in a table in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. The financial derivative instruments outstanding as of period end and the amounts of net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on financial derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, serve as indicators of the volume of financial derivative activity for the Funds.

 

(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts  Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain (loss). Realized gains (losses) are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed and are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar. To mitigate such risk, cash or securities may be exchanged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the underlying contracts.

 

(b) Futures Contracts  Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts

 

 

44   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2016

 

are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government and Agency Obligations, or select sovereign debt, in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and based on such movements in the price of the contracts, an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value may be posted or collected by the Fund (“Futures Variation Margin”). Gains (losses) are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or close. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the Futures Variation Margin included within exchange traded or centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

(c) Options Contracts  The Fund may write or purchase options to enhance returns or to hedge an existing position or future investment. The Fund may write call and put options on securities and financial derivative instruments it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (“call”) or purchased (“put”) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated

as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) when the underlying transaction is executed.

 

Options on Securities  The Fund may write or purchase options on securities. An option uses a specified security as the underlying instrument for the option contract. The Fund may write or purchase options to enhance returns or to hedge an existing position or future investment.

 

(d) Swap Agreements  Certain Funds may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over the counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“Centrally Cleared Swaps”). A Fund may enter into asset, credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity, equity and inflation 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.

 

Centrally Cleared Swaps are marked to market daily based upon valuations as determined from the underlying contract or in accordance with the requirements of the central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps (“Swap Variation Margin”), if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid 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). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   45

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

 

For purposes of applying a Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, swap agreements are generally valued by a Fund at market value. In the case of a credit default swap (see below), however, in applying certain of a Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, the Funds will value the credit default swap at its notional value or its full exposure value (i.e., the sum of the notional amount for the contract plus the market value), but may value the credit default swap at market value for purposes of applying certain of a Fund’s other investment policies and restrictions. For example, a Fund may value credit default swaps at full exposure value for purposes of a Fund’s credit quality guidelines (if any) because such value reflects a Fund’s actual economic exposure during the term of the credit default swap agreement. In this context, both the notional amount and the market value may be positive or negative depending on whether a Fund is selling or buying protection through the credit default swap. The manner in which certain securities or other instruments are valued by a Fund for purposes of applying investment policies and restrictions may differ from the manner in which those investments are valued by other types of investors.

 

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its 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.

 

A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover a Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

 

Credit Default Swap Agreements  A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate, loan, sovereign, U.S. municipal or U.S. Treasury issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has 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. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of

protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event that the referenced entity, obligation or index, as specified in the swap agreement, undergoes a certain credit event. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund 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 seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

If a Fund is a seller 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 a Fund is a buyer 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 estimated 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. 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).

 

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed

securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are instruments for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate, loan, sovereign, U.S. municipal or U.S. Treasury issues as of period end, if any, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. They serve as an indicator of the current status of payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads 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. 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. 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 a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of period end for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. 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 a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

7. 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 such things as changes in the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below for a detailed description of select principal risks. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Funds may be subject to, please see the Important Information About the Funds.

 

Market Risks  A Fund’s investments in financial derivative instruments and other financial instruments expose the Fund to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign (non-U.S.) currency, equity and commodity risks.

 

The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

Issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so in the future. An issuer may reduce or eliminate future dividends or distributions at any time and for any reason. Moreover, a Fund may use a dividend capture strategy (i.e., purchasing an equity security shortly before the issuer pays a dividend and selling it shortly thereafter), which may expose the Fund to higher portfolio turnover, increased trading costs and the potential for capital loss or gain, particularly in the event of significant short-term price movements of stocks subject to dividend capture trading. Also, securities purchased to capture a dividend often decline in value at the time of sale (i.e., shortly following the dividend) and the resulting realized loss to the Fund may exceed the amount of the dividend received, thereby negatively impacting the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments held by a Fund will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Fund may lose money if these changes are not

anticipated by the Fund’s management. A Fund 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.

 

Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. Convexity is an additional measure of interest rate sensitivity that measures the rate of change of duration in response to changes in interest rates. 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. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). At present, the U.S. and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, are experiencing near historically low interest rates. The Funds may be subject to heightened interest rate risk because the Fed has ended its quantitative easing program and has begun, and may continue, to raise interest rates. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer “market making” ability has not kept pace and in some cases has decreased. Given the importance of intermediary “market making” in creating a robust and active market, fixed income securities are currently facing increased volatility and liquidity risks. All of these factors, collectively and/or individually, could cause a Fund to lose value. If a Fund lost enough value, the Fund could face increased shareholder redemptions, which could force the Fund to liquidate investments at disadvantageous times or prices, thereby adversely affecting the Fund.

 

To the extent that a Fund may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia, the Fund is subject to various risks such as, but not limited to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks include uncertain political and economic policies, short-term market volatility, poor accounting standards, corruption and crime, an inadequate regulatory system, and unpredictable taxation. Investments in Russia are particularly subject to the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which may impact companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services and defense, among others — may negatively impact a Fund’s performance and/or ability to achieve its investment objective. The Russian securities market, as compared to U.S. markets, has significant price volatility, less liquidity, a smaller market capitalization and a smaller number of traded securities. Adverse currency exchange rates are a risk and there may be a lack of available currency hedging instruments. Investments in Russia may be subject to the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account for a significant portion of Russia’s exports, leaving the country vulnerable to swings in world prices.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or in financial derivative instruments that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency 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 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 by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Fund’s investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the Fund’s returns.

 

Credit and Counterparty Risks  A Fund will be exposed to credit risk to parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. A Fund minimizes concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges where applicable. Over the counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions are subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally cleared derivative transactions might not be available for OTC derivative transactions. For financial derivative instruments traded on exchanges or clearinghouses, the primary credit risk is the creditworthiness of a Fund’s clearing broker or the exchange or clearinghouse itself. A Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a financial derivative instruments contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities and financial derivative instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings.

 

Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. PIMCO, as the Adviser, minimizes counterparty risks to the Funds through a number of ways. Prior to entering into transactions with a new counterparty, the PIMCO Counterparty Risk Committee conducts an extensive credit review of such counterparty and must approve the use of such counterparty. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the underlying contract, to the extent that unpaid amounts owed to a Fund exceed a predetermined threshold, such counterparty shall advance collateral to the Fund in the form of cash or securities equal in value to the unpaid amount owed to the Fund. A Fund may invest such collateral in securities or other instruments and will typically pay interest to the counterparty on the collateral received. If the unpaid amount owed to a Fund subsequently

decreases, the Fund would be required to return to the counterparty all or a portion of the collateral previously advanced. PIMCO’s attempts to minimize counterparty risk may, however, be unsuccessful.

 

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once a Fund has 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.

 

Model Risk  In making investment allocation decisions, Research Affiliates LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) may utilize quantitative models that may be proprietary or developed by third-parties. These models are used by the Sub-Adviser to help determine a Fund’s investment allocation decisions. Investment models used in making investment allocation decisions may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in a decline in the value of your investment. Models rely on accurate financial and market data inputs. If inaccurate data is entered into a model, the resulting information will be incorrect. In addition, the models used may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. The models evaluate securities or securities markets based on certain assumptions concerning the interplay of market factors. The markets or the prices of individual securities may be affected by factors not foreseen in developing the models.

 

Master Netting Arrangements  A Fund may be subject to various netting arrangements (“Master Agreements”) with select counterparties. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Each type of Master Agreement governs certain types of transactions. Different types of transactions may be traded out of different legal entities or affiliates of a particular organization, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.

 

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under most Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in

place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of AAA rated paper or sovereign securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable Master Agreement. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at value (securities) or Deposits with counterparty. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits from counterparty. The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of NAV. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.

 

Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase, and sale-buyback transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern certain forward settling transactions, such as To-Be-Announced securities, delayed-delivery or sale-buyback transactions by and between a Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, transaction initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of forward settling transactions, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Such transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated in an account at a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). In the United States, counterparty risk may be reduced as creditors of an FCM cannot have a claim to Fund assets in the segregated account. Portability of exposure reduces risk to the Funds. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between

futures and cleared OTC derivatives unless the parties have agreed to a separate arrangement in respect of portfolio margining. The market value or accumulated unrealized appreciation (depreciation), initial margin posted, and any unsettled variation margin as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Prime Broker Arrangements may be entered into to facilitate execution and/or clearing of listed equity option transactions or short sales of equity securities between a Fund and selected counterparties. The arrangements provide guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations, and other events, including, but not limited to, margin, execution, and settlement. These agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Margin and other assets delivered as collateral are typically in the possession of the prime broker and would offset any obligations due to the prime broker. The market values of listed options and securities sold short and related collateral are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern bilateral OTC derivative transactions entered into by a Fund with select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting 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. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third-party custodian. The market value of OTC financial derivative instruments, collateral received or pledged, and net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

shares for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, shareholder services, and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts with respect to Class D shareholders of the Fund, some of which may be deemed to be primarily intended to result in the sale of Class D shares.

 

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan with respect to the Administrative Class shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Administrative Class Plan”). Under the terms of the Administrative Class Plan, a Fund may compensate the Distributor for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, administrative, recordkeeping, shareholder and/or related services with respect to Administrative Class shares.

(d) Fund Expenses  PIMCO provides or procures supervisory and administrative services for shareholders and also bears the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Trust is responsible for the following expenses: (i) taxes and governmental fees; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iii) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expense; (iv) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (v) extraordinary expense, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vi) organizational expenses; and (vii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class Shares, and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multi-Class

Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed on the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual fund operating expenses per share class.

 

Each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $62,000, plus $6,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, $375 ($750 in the case of the audit committee chair with respect to audit committee meetings) for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $9,000, the valuation oversight committee lead receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 (to the extent there are co-leads of the valuation oversight committee, the annual retainer will be split evenly between the co-leads, so that each co-lead individually receives an additional retainer of $1,000) and the governance committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $750.

 

These expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Fund of the Trust according to its respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.

 

(e) Expense Limitation  PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of the Funds’ Supervisory and Administrative Fees in each Fund’s first fiscal year, to the extent that the payment of each Fund’s pro rata share of organizational expenses and Trustee Fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-current prospectus plus 0.0049%, the “Expense Limit” (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each class).

 

PIMCO had contractually agreed, through October 31, 2016, to reduce its advisory fee by 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund. This Fee Limitation Agreement renews annually unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days’ notice prior to the end of the contract term. Effective June 16, 2016, the contractual agreement by PIMCO to reduce it’s advisory fee by 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund has been terminated.

 

Under the Fee Limitation Agreement, PIMCO is entitled to reimbursement by each Fund of any portion of the Supervisory and Administrative Fee and/or Investment Advisory Fee waived, reduced or reimbursed pursuant to the Fee Limitation Agreement or the Expense Limitation Agreement, respectively (the “Reimbursement Amount”) during the previous three years, provided that such amount paid to PIMCO will not: 1) together with any recoupment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees pursuant to the Expense

Limitation Agreement, exceed the Expense Limit; 2) exceed the total Reimbursement Amount; or 3) include any amounts previously reimbursed to PIMCO. The Fee Limitation Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless PIMCO provides written notice to the Trust at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term.

 

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months after the waiver. Expenses that have been waived may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Fund’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount reimbursed does not exceed the Expense Limit. The recoverable amounts to PIMCO at June 30, 2016, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 8, Fees and Expenses and the accrued related party fee amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Certain Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain related affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Funds from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate, or an affiliate of an affiliate, by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 under the Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. During the period ended June 30, 2016,

the Funds below engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act (amounts in thousands):

 

Fund Name         Purchases     Sales  

PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund

    $     2,017      $     14,531   

 

10. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified and each employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) may be indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. 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. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

 

11. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

 

The length of time a Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” Each Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The transaction costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. The portfolio turnover rates are reported in the Financial Highlights.

 

 

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2016, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

13. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS

 

The Funds are not named as defendants in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and are not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against them.

 

PIMCO has received a Wells Notice from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that relates to the PIMCO Total Return Active Exchange-Traded Fund (“BOND”), a series of PIMCO ETF Trust. The notice indicates the staff’s preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC commence a civil action against PIMCO stemming from a non-public investigation relating to BOND. A Wells Notice is neither a formal allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that any law was violated.

 

This matter principally pertains to the valuation of smaller sized positions in non-agency mortgage-backed securities purchased by BOND between its inception on February 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, BOND’s performance disclosures for that period, and PIMCO’s compliance policies and procedures related to these matters.

 

The Wells process provides PIMCO with the opportunity to demonstrate to the SEC staff why it believes its conduct was appropriate, in keeping with industry standards, and that no action should be taken. PIMCO believes that this matter is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on any Fund or on PIMCO’s ability to provide investment management services to any Fund.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report.

 

14. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

 

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

 

A Fund may be subject to local withholding taxes, including those imposed on realized capital gains. Any applicable foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and may be payable following the sale of any applicable investments.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Adviser has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of June 30, 2016, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.

The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years ending in 2013-2015, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PIMCO Equity Series®:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows (PIMCO EqS® Long/Short Fund) and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund and PIMCO EqS® Long/Short Fund (two series of PIMCO Equity Series®, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at June 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations and the cash flows for PIMCO EqS® Long/Short Fund for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights of the Funds for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Federal Income Tax Information

 

(Unaudited)

 

As required by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and Treasury Regulations, if applicable, shareholders must be notified within 60 days of the Funds’ fiscal year end regarding the status of qualified dividend income and the dividend received deduction.

 

Dividend Received Deduction.  Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to take the dividend received deduction on the portion of a Fund’s dividend distribution that qualifies under tax law. The percentage of the following Funds’ fiscal 2016 ordinary income dividend that qualifies for the corporate dividend received deduction is set forth below:

 

Qualified Dividend Income.  Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (the “Act”), the following percentage of ordinary dividends paid during the calendar year was designated as “qualified dividend income”, as defined in the Act, subject to reduced tax rates in 2016:

 

Qualified Interest Income and Qualified Short-Term Capital Gain (for non-U.S. resident shareholders only).  Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified interest income,” as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(E) of the Code, and therefore are designated as interest-related dividends, as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(C) of the Code. Further, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified short-term capital gain,” as defined in Section 871(k)(2)(D) of the Code, and therefore are designated as qualified short-term gain dividends, as defined by Section 871(k)(2)(C) of the Code.

Privacy Policy1

 

(Unaudited)

 

The Funds2,3 consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ non-public personal information. The Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.

 

OBTAINING PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers or sub-advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial advisor or consultant, and/or from information captured on applicable websites.

 

RESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY

 

As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. The Funds or their affiliates may also retain non-affiliated companies to market Fund shares or products which use Fund shares and enter into joint marketing arrangements with them and other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or financial advisor or consultant.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

 

The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal or account information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any fund advised by PIMCO in which a shareholder has invested. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder or a

shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party at the shareholder’s request or with the consent of the shareholder.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH AFFILIATES

 

The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing shareholders’ accounts, and subject to applicable law may provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, distributors or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds may share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), information about the Funds’ experiences or transactions with a shareholder, information captured on applicable websites, or other data about a shareholder’s accounts, subject to applicable law. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

PROCEDURES TO SAFEGUARD PRIVATE INFORMATION

 

The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information to internal personnel who need to know that information to perform their jobs, such as servicing shareholder accounts or notifying shareholders of new products or services. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

 

INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM WEBSITES

 

Websites maintained by the Funds or their service providers may use a variety of technologies to collect information that help the Funds and their service providers understand how the website is used. Information collected from your web browser (including small files stored on your device that are commonly referred to as “cookies”) allow the websites to recognize your web browser and help to personalize and improve your user experience and enhance navigation of the website. In addition, the Funds or their Service Affiliates may use third parties to place advertisements for the Funds on other websites, including banner advertisements. Such third parties may collect anonymous information through the use of cookies or action tags (such as web beacons). The information these third parties collect is generally limited to technical and web navigation information, such as your IP address, web pages visited and browser type, and does not include personally identifiable information such as name, address, phone number or email address.

Approval of Investment Advisory Contract and Other Agreements

Approval of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, Interim Portfolio Implementation Agreement, Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement and Portfolio Implementation Agreement for PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund

 

At a meeting held on June 15, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of PIMCO Equity Series (the “Trust”), including all of the independent Trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved on behalf of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust: the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and Research Affiliates, LLC (“RALLC”) and the Interim Portfolio Implementation Agreement (the “Interim Portfolio Implementation Agreement”) (together with the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Interim Agreements”) among PIMCO, RALLC and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), each for a term no longer than through November 11, 2016; and the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between PIMCO and RALLC and the Portfolio Implementation Agreement (the “Portfolio Implementation Agreement”) (together with the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) among PIMCO, RALLC and Parametric, each subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders, and each for an initial term of two years following shareholder approval and execution.

 

The information, material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approvals are described below.

 

1. INFORMATION RECEIVED

 

(a) Materials Reviewed  The Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services to be provided by RALLC and Parametric, both in connection with the meeting and the February 25, 2015 meeting at which the Board considered approval of a sub-advisory agreement between PIMCO and RALLC, and a portfolio implementation agreement among PIMCO, RALLC and Parametric, with respect to certain other series of the Trust (the “RAE Fundamental Funds”). The Board reviewed information relating to RALLC’s and Parametric’s financial condition, personnel, investment services and performance, fees and other benefits and profitability, compliance programs and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by RALLC and Parametric. In addition, the Board also reviewed material provided by counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees, which included, among other things, memoranda outlining legal duties of the Board in considering the approval of the Interim Agreements and the Agreements and certain regulatory matters pertaining to the Interim Agreements. The Board also reviewed information about the RALLC and Parametric personnel who would be providing services to PIMCO, RALLC and the Fund under the Interim Agreements and the Agreements.

(b) Review Process  In connection with the approval of the Interim Agreements and the Agreements, the Board reviewed written materials prepared by RALLC and Parametric. The Board also requested and received assistance and advice regarding applicable legal standards from Trust counsel. The approval determinations were made on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. Individual Trustees may have given different weights to certain factors and assigned various degrees of materiality to information received in connection with the approval process. In deciding to approve the Interim Agreements and the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or particular information that, in isolation, was controlling. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

 

2. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

 

The Board considered the depth and quality of the investment management process of RALLC and Parametric, including for each entity, the experience and capabilities of its senior management and other personnel, and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Board considered the sub-advisory services proposed to be provided by RALLC to PIMCO and the Fund and the portfolio implementation services proposed to be provided by Parametric to PIMCO, RALLC and the Fund. The Board also considered that, with respect to the services provided by RALLC and Parametric to the Fund, the terms of the Interim Agreements are substantially identical to the terms of the Agreements.

 

The Board considered information about RALLC’s and Parametric’s personnel responsible for providing services under the Interim Agreements and the Agreements. The Board considered the depth and quality of RALLC’s investment management and research capabilities, the experience and capabilities of its portfolio management personnel, and in particular the experience and capabilities of Robert Arnott, RALLC’s principal, and the overall financial strength of the organization. The Board also considered the depth and quality of Parametric’s trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of its role as portfolio implementer.

 

The Board considered that the RAE Income Global Portfolio is a unique and proprietary product of RALLC, and that the sub-advisory services based on the RAE Income Global Portfolio are only available from RALLC. The Board also considered information about the RAE Income Global Portfolio and RALLC’s RAE Fundamental methodology for portfolio construction. Additionally, the Board considered RALLC’s policies, procedures and systems to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

The Board also considered the services provided by RALLC and Parametric to the RAE Fundamental Funds, the quality of those services and RALLC’s and Parametric’s experience working with PIMCO through

(Unaudited)

 

a sub-advisory and portfolio implementation arrangement, respectively. Further, the Board considered the oversight structure under which PIMCO would oversee RALLC and both PIMCO and RALLC would have oversight responsibility over Parametric, and noted that this oversight structure is the same as the oversight structure in place with respect to the RAE Fundamental Funds.

 

Ultimately, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided by RALLC and Parametric under the Interim Agreements and the Agreements are likely to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

3. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

 

As the Fund was not sub-advised by RALLC and did not receive portfolio implementation services from Parametric at the time the Interim Agreements and the Agreements were considered, the Board did not receive or consider investment performance information for the Fund.

 

4. SUB-ADVISORY FEES AND PORTFOLIO IMPLEMENTATION FEES

 

The Board noted that PIMCO will compensate RALLC and Parametric pursuant to the Interim Agreements and the Agreements and that the Fund will not directly pay for RALLC’s or Parametric’s services. The Board considered favorably the fact that the Fund and shareholders will receive increased and enhanced services from RALLC and Parametric with no increased cost to the Fund. The Board also considered that the compensation PIMCO will pay to RALLC under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement is subject to reduction according to certain breakpoints set forth in the separate interim and final letter agreements, respectively. Moreover, the Board considered that the compensation PIMCO will pay to Parametric under the Interim Portfolio Implementation Agreement and Portfolio Implementation Agreement is subject to reduction according to certain breakpoints.

 

Based on the information presented by PIMCO, RALLC and Parametric, members of the Board then determined, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the level of the sub-advisory fees to be paid by PIMCO to RALLC and the level of the portfolio implementation fees to be paid by PIMCO to Parametric are reasonable and approval of the Interim Agreements and the Agreements would likely benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

5. SUB-ADVISER AND PORTFOLIO IMPLEMENTER COSTS, LEVEL OF PROFITS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

 

As the Fund was not sub-advised by RALLC and did not receive portfolio implementation services from Parametric at the time the Interim Agreements and the Agreements were considered, information regarding RALLC’s and Parametric’s costs in providing services to the Fund and the profitability of RALLC’s and Parametric’s relationship with

the Fund was not available. Additionally, as noted above, the Board considered that PIMCO will compensate RALLC and Parametric pursuant to the Interim Agreements and the Agreements and that the Fund will not directly pay for RALLC’s or Parametric’s services, and that the compensation PIMCO will pay to RALLC and to Parametric under the Interim Agreements and the Agreements is, in each case, subject to certain breakpoints.

 

Ultimately, the Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed cost structure, with respect to the fees to be paid by PIMCO to RALLC and Parametric, was reasonable.

 

6. ANCILLARY BENEFITS

 

The Board considered whether RALLC or Parametric and their affiliates may receive any other benefits as a result of RALLC’s or Parametric’s relationship with the Fund and noted that neither RALLC nor Parametric expects to receive any indirect or “fallout” benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that RALLC has a policy not to engage in soft dollar arrangements and that, as of October 31, 2015, Parametric does not receive research or other products or services from broker-dealers in exchange for client securities transactions.

 

7. CONCLUSIONS

 

Based on its review, including its consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered to the Fund by RALLC and Parametric supported the approval of the Interim Agreements and the Agreements. The Board concluded that the Interim Agreements and the Agreements were fair and reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, that the Fund’s shareholders would likely receive reasonable value in return for the sub-advisory fees paid to RALLC by PIMCO and the portfolio implementation fees paid to Parametric by PIMCO, that the approval of the Interim Agreements and the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the determination to submit the Agreements to shareholders for approval was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Please find enclosed the Annual Report for the PIMCO Equity Series covering the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2016. The following pages contain specific details about the investment performance of each fund and a discussion of the factors that most affected performance during the reporting period.

 

Outside of the reporting period, PIMCO announced on July 19, 2016 that the firm’s Managing Directors have selected Emmanuel (Manny) Roman as PIMCO’s next Chief Executive Officer. PIMCO’s current CEO Douglas Hodge will assume a new role as Managing Director and Senior Advisor when Mr. Roman joins PIMCO on November 1st.

 

The announcement of Mr. Roman as PIMCO’s CEO is the culmination of a process undertaken by the firm to hire a senior executive who would add leadership and strategic insights combined with a deep appreciation of PIMCO’s diversified global businesses, investment process and focus on superior investment performance and client-service. Mr. Roman’s appointment has the full support of the firm’s leadership including Mr. Hodge, PIMCO’s President Jay Jacobs, the firm’s Executive Committee and its Managing Directors. Mr. Roman has nearly 30 years of experience in the investment industry, with expertise in fixed income and proven executive leadership, most recently as CEO of Man Group PLC, one of the world’s largest publicly-traded alternative asset managers and a leader in liquid, high-alpha investment strategies.

 

Highlights of the financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period include:

 

  n   

The first half of the reporting period through mid-February 2016 was marked by ongoing concerns over the global impact of a slowdown in the Chinese economy, which drove commodity prices and inflation expectations generally lower. By March, a recovery in the price of oil and expectations of lower interest rates for longer supported a rally in risk assets. The Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) and the People’s Bank of China, for example, indicated their intent for further policy easing, with the BOJ resorting to a negative interest rate policy in February 2016. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) also resorted to unconventional monetary policy with additional easing measures and an expansion of its quantitative easing program by shifting its focus toward domestic credit, pushing government yields into negative territory. In June 2016, the ECB began purchasing corporate bonds to help invigorate economic growth and stimulate inflation in the region.

 

  n   

In the U.S., concerns regarding the global impact of tightening financial conditions and renewed U.S. dollar strength kept the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) on hold at their June 2016 meeting, after slightly raising interest rates at their December 2015 meeting. In addition, the U.S. dollar appreciated against most European and emerging market currencies, while falling against the Japanese yen. The U.S. interest rate yield curve flattened as the ten-year U.S. Treasury yield rallied to all-time lows and short-term rates rose with the initial December 2015 Fed rate hike. Revised first quarter 2016 U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) data released in late June was marginally stronger as retail sales, housing and consumer sentiment data indicated an improving economy.

 

  n   

Market movements and news headlines at the end of the reporting period were dominated by the unexpected outcome of the U.K. referendum on June 23, 2016. Initial investor reaction to the Brexit vote was largely “risk-off” as various assets re-priced to the surprise outcome, with U.S. Treasuries, the Japanese yen and gold headlining a safe-haven rally. However, aside from the Pound Sterling and European and Japanese equities, most asset classes recovered in the ensuing week as investors reassessed the impact of the Brexit vote on global growth expectations.

 

  n   

Global developed market equities experienced weak performance amid a period marked by economic uncertainty, increased volatility and geopolitical concerns. U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, were a bright spot, returning 3.99% over the reporting period. International equity markets (developed ex-U.S.), as represented by the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Hedged) declined 9.90% over the reporting period and the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Unhedged) declined 10.16% over the reporting period. Japanese equities, as represented by the Nikkei 225 Index in JPY, declined 21.86% over the reporting period, and

 

2   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents
 

European equities, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index in EUR, declined 10.96% over the reporting period. During the first eight months of the reporting period, declining commodities prices and China’s economic deceleration drove concerns of slowing global growth, which weighed on equity returns. However, in the last third of the reporting period, developed market equities began to rebound from previous lows as global central banks resorted to increasingly unconventional monetary policy. However, late in the reporting period in June, global equities were pressured once again due to Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

 

  n   

Emerging market (“EM”) equities, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Dividends in USD), declined 12.05% over the reporting period. Concerns over slower economic growth in China, a bear market in commodities, political corruption in Latin America and several attempts by the People’s Bank of China to support the domestic equity market added to fears of slowing global growth. Late in the reporting period, emerging market equities experienced a strong rebound following February 2016 lows, with cyclicals and commodity-linked markets leading the rally.

 

  n   

U.S. Treasuries, as represented by the Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, returned 6.22% for the reporting period. Yields beyond one-year maturities declined across the U.S. Treasury yield curve as a more dovish tone from the Fed after its June 2016 meeting, coupled with the surprise result of the U.K. referendum, pushed expectations for policy normalization further into the future. Investors also looked to U.S. Treasuries for their perceived safety and as a source of high-quality yield. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury note yielded 1.49% at the end of the reporting period, down from 2.35% on June 30, 2015. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, a widely used index of U.S. investment-grade bonds, returned 6.00% for the reporting period.

Important Information About the Funds

 

We believe that equity funds have an important role to play in a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that equity funds are subject to notable risks. Among other things, equity and equity-related securities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions.

 

The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund are each “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental International Fund (“International Fund”) and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund”) (collectively, “Underlying Funds”), and equity securities that are eligible investments for the Underlying Funds. Under normal circumstances, the PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund, equity securities of small companies economically tied to non-U.S. countries, and securities that are eligible investments for the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund. The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund may invest in other affiliated funds and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (together with the Underlying Funds, “Acquired Funds”). The cost of investing in these Funds will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.

 

The values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions, 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity securities may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages, increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, the value of an equity security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments and a change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole.

During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes, including equity securities, may decline in value simultaneously. The market price of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities and common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential of all corporate securities.

 

The Funds may be subject to various risks as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: new/small fund risk, allocation risk, Acquired Fund risk, equity risk, value investing risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, emerging markets risk, issuer non-diversification risk, market risk, issuer risk, credit risk, distressed company risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, leveraging risk, management risk, small company risk, arbitrage risk, derivatives risk and model risk. A complete description of these and other risks is contained in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, leverage risk, management risk and the risk that a Fund may not be able to close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Certain derivative transactions may have a leveraging effect on a Fund. For example, a small investment in a derivative instrument may have a significant impact on a Fund’s exposure to interest rates, currency exchange rates or other investments. As a result, a relatively small price movement in an asset, instrument or component of the index underlying a derivative instrument may cause an immediate and substantial loss or gain, which translates into heightened volatility for the Funds. A Fund may engage in such transactions regardless of whether the Fund owns the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative instrument. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in these types of instruments. If it does, the Fund’s investment exposure could far exceed the value of its portfolio securities and its investment performance could be primarily dependent upon securities it does not own. Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may entail risk due to foreign (non-U.S.) economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets. For example, if an Underlying Fund invests in emerging market debt, it may face increased exposure to interest rate, liquidity, volatility, and redemption risk due to the specific economic, political, geographical, or legal background of the foreign (non-U.S.) issuer.

 

The value of an equity security of an issuer that has paid dividends in the past may decrease if the issuer reduces or eliminates future payments to its shareholders. If the dividends or distributions received by a Fund decrease, the Fund may have less income to distribute to the

Table of Contents

 

Fund’s shareholders. In addition, during certain market conditions, the equity securities of issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions may not be widely available or may be highly concentrated in particular sectors of the market. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in value stocks. Value stocks may perform differently from other types of stocks and the market as a whole. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.

 

The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.

 

On each individual Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table and Cumulative Returns chart measure performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on (i) Fund distributions or (ii) the redemption of Fund shares. The Cumulative Returns chart and Average Annual Total Return table reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

(“CDSC”) that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the period shown in the Cumulative Returns chart. Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. A CDSC may be imposed in certain circumstances on Class A shares that are purchased without an initial sales charge and then redeemed during the first (i) 18 months after purchase for purchases made prior to August 10, 2015 and (ii) 12 months after purchase for purchases made on or after August 10, 2015. The Cumulative Returns chart reflects only Institutional Class performance. Performance for Class P, Administrative Class, Class D, Class A, Class C and Class R shares, if applicable, are typically lower than Institutional Class performance due to the lower expenses paid by Institutional Class shares. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. A Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios on each individual Fund Summary page are as of the currently effective prospectus, as supplemented to date. The minimum initial investment amount for Institutional Class, Class P and Administrative Class shares is $1,000,000. The minimum initial investment amount for Class A, Class C and Class D shares is $1,000. There is no minimum initial investment for Class R shares. Each Fund measures its performance against a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark index”). The benchmark index does not take into account fees, expenses, or taxes. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

* For periods prior to June 5, 2015, the Fund’s performance reflects the performance when the Fund was a partnership, net of actual fees and expenses charged to individual partnership accounts in the aggregate. If the performance had been restated to reflect the applicable fees and expenses of each share class, the performance may have been higher or lower. The Fund began operations as a partnership on May 31, 2006 and, on June 5, 2015, was reorganized into a newly-formed fund that was registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had an investment objective, investment strategies, investment guidelines, and restrictions that were substantially similar to those currently applicable to the Fund; however, the Fund was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and was not subject to its requirements or requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance. The performance of each class of shares will differ as a result of the different levels of fees and expenses applicable to each class of shares.

 

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The adjusted returns take into account the maximum sales charge of 3.75% on Class A shares and 1.00% CDSC on Class C shares.

 

The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, as supplemented to date, is 0.95% for the Institutional Class shares, 1.05% for the Class P shares, 1.30% for the Class A shares and 2.05% for the Class C shares.

The performance of each class of shares will differ as a result of the different levels of fees and expenses applicable to each class of shares.

 

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The adjusted returns take into account the maximum sales charge of 3.75% on Class A shares and 1.00% CDSC on Class C shares.

 

The Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio as stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, as supplemented to date, is 0.50% for the Institutional Class shares, 0.60% for the Class P shares, 0.90% for the Class A shares and 1.65% for the Class C shares.

Table of Contents

Expense Examples

 

 

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for all Funds and share classes is from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

 

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these rows, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the column titled “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 (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 the 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, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (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.

 

Expense ratios may vary from period to period because of various factors such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the management fees, such as fees and expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

June 30, 2016

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

PIMCO Equity Series® (the “Trust”) was established as a Delaware statutory trust on December 28, 2009. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class, Class P, Class A, and Class C shares of the funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) indicated on the cover of this report. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) serves as the investment adviser (the “Adviser”) for the Funds. Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) serves as the sub-adviser for the Funds. PIMCO and Research Affiliates have also engaged Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“Parametric”) to implement all or a portion of each Fund’s investment strategies. The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental International Fund (“International Fund”) and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund”) (collectively, “Underlying Funds”), and equity securities that are eligible investments for the Underlying Funds. The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund, equity securities of small companies economically tied to non-U.S. countries, and securities that are eligible investments for the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund. The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund may invest in other affiliated funds and unaffiliated funds, which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (together with the Underlying Funds, “Acquired Funds”).

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund is treated as an investment company under the reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Securities Transactions and Investment Income   Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains (losses) from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend

date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest income or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Paydown gains (losses) on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as realized gains.

 

(b) Cash and Foreign Currency   The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments on the Statements of Operations. The Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract (see Financial Derivative Instruments, if any). Realized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency assets and liabilities on the Statements of Operations.

(c) Multiclass 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 and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) are allocated daily based on the relative assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include supervisory and administrative and distribution and servicing fees. Under certain circumstances, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of a class of the respective Fund’s shares may be different from the per share NAV of another class of shares as a result of the different daily expense accruals applicable to each class of shares.

 

(d) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders   The following table shows the anticipated frequency of dividends from net investment income, if any, for each Fund.

 

Declared and Paid Annually:

PIMCO RAE Fundamental Emerging Markets Fund

PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund

PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund

PIMCO RAE Fundamental International Fund

PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund

PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Small Fund

 

Net realized capital gains earned by each Fund, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.

 

Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of transactions that may cause character differences include the treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.

 

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed (overdistributed) net investment income (loss), accumulated undistributed (overdistributed) net realized

gain (loss) and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

 

(e) New Accounting Pronouncements   In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2014-11, that expanded secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU became effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The Funds have adopted the ASU. The financial statements have been modified to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding secured borrowing transactions, if any. See the Notes to Schedules of Investments for additional details.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective prospectively for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

 

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

(a) Investment Valuation Policies   The price of a Fund’s shares is based on the Fund’s NAV. The NAV of a Fund, or each of its share classes, as applicable, is determined by dividing the total value of portfolio investments and other assets attributable to that Fund or class, less any liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding of that Fund or class. On each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, Fund shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (“NYSE Close”). Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day.

 

 

62   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2016

 

Each Fund reserves the right to change the time its respective NAV is calculated if the Fund closes earlier, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from established market makers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Funds’ approved pricing services, quotation reporting systems and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Services”). The Funds will normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by the Adviser to be the primary exchange. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close, if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange. Domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives, and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Services may be based on, among other things, information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Exchange-traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or market-based prices supplied by Pricing Services or other pricing sources. With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets that are invested in one or more
open-end management investment companies (other than
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), the Fund’s NAV will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.

 

If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value based on procedures established and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, the Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided

by Pricing Services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Fund 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 NYSE Close. A Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-U.S. securities. Foreign
(non-U.S.) exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may result in a Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares.

 

Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market exists to a reliable degree will be valued at the mean of the last available bid/ask prices in the market for such loans, as provided by a Pricing Service. Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market does not exist to a reliable degree will be valued at fair value, which is intended to approximate market value. In valuing a senior secured floating rate loan at fair value, the factors considered may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants, (b) the terms of the loan, (c) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any, and (d) recent prices in the market for instruments of similar quality, rate, period until next interest rate reset and maturity.

 

Investments 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 value of such investments and, in turn, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments 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 Trust is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Fund holds foreign (non-U.S.) investments, the value of those investments may change at times when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares and the value of such investments will be reflected in the Fund’s next calculated NAV.

 

Investments for which market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or persons acting at their direction. The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods. In the event that market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to a Board approved valuation method, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   63


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

Oversight Committee of the Board (“Valuation Oversight Committee”), generally based on recommendations provided by the Adviser. The Adviser may consult with the Sub-Adviser or Parametric in providing such recommendations or otherwise with respect to valuation of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, indicative market quotations (“Broker Quotes”), Pricing Services’ prices), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be reevaluated in light of such significant events.

 

When a Fund uses fair valuation to determine the value of a portfolio security or other asset for purposes of calculating its NAV, such investments will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. The Funds’ use of fair valuation may also help to deter “stale price arbitrage” as discussed under the “Abusive Trading Practices” section in each Fund’s prospectus.

 

(b) Fair Value Hierarchy   U.S. GAAP describes fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, or 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

n   

Level 1 — Inputs using (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

n   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

n   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

 

Any assets or liabilities categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end that have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 are a result of a change, in the normal course of business, from the use of an exchange traded price or a trade price on the initial purchase date (Level 1) to methods used by Pricing Services including valuation adjustments applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE (Level 2). In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to realized gain (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation), purchases and sales, accrued discounts (premiums), and transfers into and out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, and if material, a Level 3 reconciliation and details of significant unobservable inputs, have been included in the Notes to Schedules of Investments for each respective Fund.

used in determining the fair values of portfolio securities or other assets and liabilities categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Common stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the NYSE Close. These securities are valued using Pricing Services that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value

hierarchy. Preferred securities and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity-linked securities are valued by referencing the last reported sale or settlement price of the linked referenced equity on the day of valuation. Foreign exchange adjustments are applied to the last reported price to convert the linked equity’s trading currency to the contract’s settling currency. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 3 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value   When a fair valuation method is applied by the Adviser that uses significant unobservable inputs, investments will be priced by a method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The validity of fair value is reviewed by the Adviser on a periodic basis and may be amended in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.

 

 

4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

(a) Investments in Affiliates

The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in Acquired Funds and equity securities that are eligible investments for the Underlying Funds. The PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in Acquired Funds (except the PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund), equity securities of small companies economically tied to non-U.S. countries, and securities that are eligible investments for the International Fund and Emerging Markets Fund. The Underlying Funds are considered to be affiliated with the Global Fund and Global ex-US Fund. Each Fund may also invest in the PIMCO Short-Term Floating NAV Portfolio III (“Central Fund”) to the extent permitted by the Act and rules thereunder. The Central Fund is a registered investment company created for use solely by the series of the Trust and other series of registered investment companies advised by the Adviser, in connection with their cash management activities. The main investments of the Central Fund are money market and short maturity fixed income instruments. The Central Fund may incur expenses related to its investment activities, but does not pay Investment Advisory Fees or Supervisory and Administrative Fees to the Adviser. The Central Fund is considered to be affiliated with the Funds. The tables below show the Funds’ transactions in and earnings from investments in these affiliated Funds for the period ended June 30, 2016 (amounts in thousands):

(b) Investments in Securities

REITs  Certain Funds may invest in REITs, which are pooled investment vehicles that own, and typically operate, income-producing real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. Distributions received from REITs may be characterized as income, capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by a Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of its investment in the REIT. REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so the Funds that invest in REITs will bear their proportionate share of the costs of the REITs’ operations.

 

Restricted Securities  Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities may generally be sold privately, but are required to be registered or exempted from such registration before being sold to the public. Private placement securities are generally considered to be restricted except for those securities traded between qualified institutional investors under the provisions of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Disposal of restricted securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult to achieve. Restricted securities held by the Funds at June 30, 2016 are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Warrants  Certain 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 are 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.

 

5. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use financial derivative instruments, and how financial derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of financial derivative contract and related risk exposure, are included in a table in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. The financial derivative instruments outstanding as of period end and the amounts of net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on financial derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, serve as indicators of the volume of financial derivative activity for the Funds.

 

(a) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts  Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates

 

 

66   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2016

 

with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain (loss). Realized gains (losses) are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed and are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain (loss) reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar. To mitigate such risk, cash or securities may be exchanged as collateral pursuant to the terms of the underlying contracts.

 

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds (or Acquired Funds) trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to such things as changes in the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below for a detailed description of select principal risks. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Funds may be subject to, please see the Important Information About the Funds.

 

Investments in Mutual Funds  To the extent that certain Funds invest substantially all of their respective assets in Acquired Funds, the risks associated with investing in these Funds will be closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds. The ability of the Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives may depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Acquired Fund will be achieved. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate in response to changes in the respective NAV of the Acquired Funds in which it invests. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with the Funds correlate to those of a particular Acquired Fund will depend upon the extent to which the assets of the Funds are allocated from time to time for investment in the Acquired Funds, which will vary.

 

Certain Funds’ investment performance depends upon how each Fund’s assets are allocated and reallocated according to each Fund’s asset allocation targets and ranges. A principal risk of investing in each Fund is that the Funds’ asset allocation sub-adviser will make less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. The asset allocation sub-adviser attempts to identify investment allocations for the Acquired Funds that will provide consistent, quality performance for the Funds, but there is no guarantee that such allocation techniques will produce the desired results.

 

Market Risks  A Fund’s (or Acquired Funds) investments in financial derivative instruments and other financial instruments expose the Fund

to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign (non-U.S.) currency, equity and commodity risks.

 

The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

Issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so in the future. An issuer may reduce or eliminate future dividends or distributions at any time and for any reason. Moreover, a Fund may use a dividend capture strategy (i.e., purchasing an equity security shortly before the issuer pays a dividend and selling it shortly thereafter), which may expose the Fund to higher portfolio turnover, increased trading costs and the potential for capital loss or gain, particularly in the event of significant short-term price movements of stocks subject to dividend capture trading. Also, securities purchased to capture a dividend often decline in value at the time of sale (i.e., shortly following the dividend) and the resulting realized loss to the Fund may exceed the amount of the dividend received, thereby negatively impacting the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments held by a Fund will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund (or Acquired Funds) is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Fund (or Acquired Funds) may lose money if these changes are not anticipated by the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) management. A Fund (or Acquired 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.

 

Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. Convexity is an additional measure of interest rate sensitivity that measures the rate of change of duration in response to changes in interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   67


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). At present, the U.S. and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, are experiencing near historically low interest rates. The Funds may be subject to heightened interest rate risk because the Fed has ended its quantitative easing program and has begun, and may continue, to raise interest rates. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer “market making” ability has not kept pace and in some cases has decreased. Given the importance of intermediary “market making” in creating a robust and active market, fixed income securities are currently facing increased volatility and liquidity risks. All of these factors, collectively and/or individually, could cause a Fund (or Acquired Funds) to lose value. If a Fund (or Acquired Funds) lost enough value, the Fund (or Acquired Funds) could face increased shareholder redemptions, which could force the Fund to liquidate investments at disadvantageous times or prices, thereby adversely affecting the Fund.

 

To the extent that a Fund (or Acquired Fund) may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia, the Fund (or Acquired Fund) is subject to various risks such as, but not limited to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks include uncertain political and economic policies, short-term market volatility, poor accounting standards, corruption and crime, an inadequate regulatory system, and unpredictable taxation. Investments in Russia are particularly subject to the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which may impact companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services and defense, among others — may negatively impact a Fund’s (or Acquired Fund’s) performance and/or ability to achieve its investment objective. The Russian securities market, as compared to U.S. markets, has significant price volatility, less liquidity, a smaller market capitalization and a smaller number of traded securities. Adverse currency exchange rates are a risk and there may be a lack of available currency hedging instruments. Investments in Russia may be subject to the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account for a significant portion of Russia’s exports, leaving the country vulnerable to swings in world prices.

 

If a Fund (or Acquired Funds) invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or in financial derivative instruments that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund (or Acquired Funds), or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) base currency 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 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 by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) investments in foreign
currency-denominated securities may reduce the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) returns.

 

A Fund’s (or Acquired Fund’s) investments in commodity-linked financial derivative instruments may subject the Fund (or Acquired Fund) to greater market price volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked financial derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

 

Credit and Counterparty Risks  A Fund (or Acquired Funds) will be exposed to credit risk to parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. A Fund (or Acquired Funds) minimizes concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges where applicable. Over the counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions are subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally cleared derivative transactions might not be available for OTC derivative transactions. For financial derivative instruments traded on exchanges or clearinghouses, the primary credit risk is the creditworthiness of a Fund’s clearing broker or the exchange or clearinghouse itself. A Fund (or Acquired Funds) could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a financial derivative instruments contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities and financial derivative instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings.

 

Similar to credit risk, a Fund (or Acquired Funds) may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund (or Acquired Funds) has unsettled or open transactions will default. PIMCO, as the Adviser, minimizes counterparty risks to the Funds (or Acquired Funds) through a number of ways. Prior to entering into transactions with a new counterparty, the PIMCO Counterparty Risk Committee conducts an extensive credit review of such counterparty and must approve the use of such counterparty. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the underlying contract, to the extent that unpaid amounts

 

 

68   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2016

 

owed to a Fund (or Acquired Funds) exceed a predetermined threshold, such counterparty shall advance collateral to the Fund (or Acquired Funds) in the form of cash or securities equal in value to the unpaid amount owed to the Fund (or Acquired Funds). A Fund (or Acquired Funds) may invest such collateral in securities or other instruments and will typically pay interest to the counterparty on the collateral received. If the unpaid amount owed to a Fund (or Acquired Funds) subsequently decreases, the Fund (or Acquired Funds) would be required to return to the counterparty all or a portion of the collateral previously advanced. PIMCO’s attempts to minimize counterparty risk may, however, be unsuccessful.

 

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once a Fund (or Acquired Funds) has 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.

 

Model Risk  In making investment allocation decisions, Research Affiliates LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) may utilize quantitative models that may be proprietary or developed by third-parties. These models are used by the Sub-Adviser to help determine a Fund’s investment allocation decisions. Investment models used in making investment allocation decisions may not adequately take into account certain factors and may result in a decline in the value of your investment. Models rely on accurate financial and market data inputs. If inaccurate data is entered into a model, the resulting information will be incorrect. In addition, the models used may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. The models evaluate securities or securities markets based on certain assumptions concerning the interplay of market factors. The markets or the prices of individual securities may be affected by factors not foreseen in developing the models.

 

Master Netting Arrangements  A Fund may be subject to various netting arrangements (“Master Agreements”) with select counterparties. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Each type of Master Agreement governs certain types of transactions. Different types of transactions may be traded out of different legal entities or affiliates of a particular organization, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting

purposes the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.

 

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under most Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of AAA rated paper or sovereign securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable Master Agreement. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at value (securities) or Deposits with counterparty. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits from counterparty. The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of NAV. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.

 

Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase, and sale-buyback transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern certain forward settling transactions, such as To-Be-Announced securities, delayed-delivery or sale-buyback transactions by and between a Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, transaction initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of forward settling transactions, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   69


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

OTC derivatives. Such transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated in an account at a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). In the United States, counterparty risk may be reduced as creditors of an FCM cannot have a claim to Fund assets in the segregated account. Portability of exposure reduces risk to the Funds. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives unless the parties have agreed to a separate arrangement in respect of portfolio margining. The market value or accumulated unrealized appreciation (depreciation), initial margin posted, and any unsettled variation margin as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern bilateral OTC derivative transactions entered into by a Fund with select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting 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. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional

provisions that add counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third-party custodian. The market value of OTC financial derivative instruments, collateral received or pledged, and net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

Class C and Class R shares (percentages reflect annual rates of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable class).

 

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan with respect to the Class D shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Class D Plan”). Under the terms of the Class D Plan, a Fund is permitted to compensate the Distributor out of the assets attributable to the Class D shares of the Fund, in an amount up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class D shares for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, shareholder services, and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts with respect to Class D shareholders of the Fund, some of which may be deemed to be primarily intended to result in the sale of Class D shares.

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan with respect to the Administrative Class shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Administrative Class Plan”). Under the terms of the Administrative Class Plan, a Fund may compensate the Distributor for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, administrative, recordkeeping, shareholder and/or related services with respect to Administrative Class shares. The Administrative Class Plan permits a Fund to make total payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Class shares.

 

The Trust paid distribution and servicing fees at effective rates as set forth in the following table (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

 

          Distribution Fee     Servicing Fee  

Class A

      —          0.25%   

Class C

      0.75%        0.25%   

 

The Distributor also received the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. For the period ended June 30, 2016, the Distributor retained $184,988 representing commissions (sales charges) and contingent deferred sales charges from the Trust.

 

(d) Fund Expenses  PIMCO provides or procures supervisory and administrative services for shareholders and also bears the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Trust is responsible for the following expenses: (i) taxes and governmental fees; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iii) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expense; (iv) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (v) extraordinary expense, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vi) organizational expenses; and (vii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class Shares, and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multi-Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed on the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual fund operating expenses per share class.

 

Each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $62,000, plus $6,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, $375 ($750 in the case of the audit committee chair with respect to audit committee meetings) for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board meeting

attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $9,000, the valuation oversight committee lead receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 (to the extent there are co-leads of the valuation oversight committee, the annual retainer will be split evenly between the co-leads, so that each co-lead individually receives an additional retainer of $1,000) and the governance committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $750.

 

These expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Fund of the Trust according to its respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.

 

(e) Expense Limitation  PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of the Funds’ Supervisory and Administrative Fees in each Fund’s first fiscal year, to the extent that the payment of each Fund’s pro rata share of organizational expenses and Trustee Fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-current prospectus plus 0.0049%, the “Expense Limit” (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each class).

 

PIMCO has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Investment Advisory Fee as set forth in the following table (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets).

Under the Fee Limitation Agreement, PIMCO is entitled to reimbursement by each Fund of any portion of the Supervisory and Administrative Fee and/or Investment Advisory Fee waived, reduced or reimbursed pursuant to the Fee Limitation Agreement or the Expense Limitation Agreement, respectively (the “Reimbursement Amount”) during the previous three years, provided that such amount paid to PIMCO will not: 1) together with any recoupment of organizational expenses and pro rata Trustees’ fees pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, exceed the Expense Limit; 2) exceed the total Reimbursement Amount; or 3) include any amounts previously reimbursed to PIMCO. The Fee Limitation Agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms unless PIMCO provides written notice to the Trust at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term.

 

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months after the waiver. Expenses that have been

waived may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Fund’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount reimbursed does not exceed the Expense Limit. The recoverable amounts to PIMCO at June 30, 2016, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

(f) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses  The Underlying Fund expenses for the Funds are based upon an allocation of a Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class shares of these Underlying Funds. The Underlying Fund expenses incurred by a Fund will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying Funds, as well as the allocation of the Fund’s assets.

 

PIMCO has contractually agreed, through October 31, 2016, to waive, first, the Investment Advisory Fee and, second, the Supervisory and Administrative Fees it receives from the PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund in an amount equal to the expenses attributable to the Investment Advisory Fees and the Supervisory and Administrative Fees of the PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental International Fund and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Emerging Markets Fund indirectly incurred by the PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund in connection with its investments in such Funds, to the extent the PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund’s Investment Advisory Fee and Supervisory and Administrative Fees are greater than or equal to the Investment Advisory Fee and Supervisory and Administrative Fees of such Funds. This waiver renews annually for a full year unless terminated by PIMCO upon at least 30 days’ notice prior to the end of the contract term.

The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 7, Fees and Expenses and the accrued related party fee amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

9. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified and each employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) may be indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. 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. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

 

10. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

 

The length of time a Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” Each Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The transaction costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. The portfolio turnover rates are reported in the Financial Highlights.

12. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS

 

The Funds are not named as defendants in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and are not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against them.

 

PIMCO has received a Wells Notice from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that relates to the PIMCO Total Return Active Exchange-Traded Fund (“BOND”), a series of PIMCO ETF Trust. The notice indicates the staff’s preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC commence a civil action against PIMCO stemming from a non-public investigation relating to BOND. A Wells Notice is neither a formal allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that any law was violated.

 

This matter principally pertains to the valuation of smaller sized positions in non-agency mortgage-backed securities purchased by

BOND between its inception on February 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, BOND’s performance disclosures for that period, and PIMCO’s compliance policies and procedures related to these matters.

 

The Wells process provides PIMCO with the opportunity to demonstrate to the SEC staff why it believes its conduct was appropriate, in keeping with industry standards, and that no action should be taken. PIMCO believes that this matter is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on any Fund or on PIMCO’s ability to provide investment management services to any Fund.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report.

 

13. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

 

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and distribute all

of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

 

A Fund may be subject to local withholding taxes, including those imposed on realized capital gains. Any applicable foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and may be payable following the sale of any applicable investments.

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Adviser has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of June 30, 2016, the Funds have

recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.

 

The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years ending in 2013-2015, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PIMCO Equity Series®:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental US Small Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental International Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental Emerging Markets Fund, PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global Fund, and PIMCO RAE Fundamental Global ex-US Fund (six series of PIMCO Equity Series®, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at June 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period June 5, 2015 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Federal Income Tax Information

 

(Unaudited)

 

As required by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and Treasury Regulations, if applicable, shareholders must be notified within 60 days of the Funds’ fiscal year end regarding the status of qualified dividend income and the dividend received deduction.

 

Dividend Received Deduction.  Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to take the dividend received deduction on the portion of a Fund’s dividend distribution that qualifies under tax law. The percentage of the following Funds’ fiscal 2016 ordinary income dividend that qualifies for the corporate dividend received deduction is set forth below:

 

Qualified Dividend Income.  Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (the “Act”), the following percentage of ordinary dividends paid during the calendar year was designated as “qualified dividend income”, as defined in the Act, subject to reduced tax rates in 2016:

 

Qualified Interest Income and Qualified Short-Term Capital Gain (for non-U.S. resident shareholders only).  Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified interest income,” as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(E) of the Code, and therefore are designated as interest-related dividends, as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(C) of the Code. Further, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified short-term capital gain,” as defined in Section 871(k)(2)(D) of the Code, and therefore are designated as qualified short-term gain dividends, as defined by Section 871(k)(2)(C) of the Code.

Privacy Policy1

 

The Funds2,3 consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of their relationships with shareholders and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of their current, prospective and former shareholders’ non-public personal information. The Funds have developed policies that are designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing shareholder needs to be served.

 

OBTAINING PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

In the course of providing shareholders with products and services, the Funds and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment advisers or sub-advisers (“Advisers”), may obtain non-public personal information about shareholders, which may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from shareholder transactions, from a shareholder’s brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial advisor or consultant, and/or from information captured on applicable websites.

 

RESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY

 

As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. The Funds or their affiliates may also retain non-affiliated companies to market Fund shares or products which use Fund shares and enter into joint marketing arrangements with them and other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or financial advisor or consultant.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

 

The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal or account information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any fund advised by PIMCO in which a shareholder has invested. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder or a shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party at the shareholder’s request or with the consent of the shareholder.

SHARING INFORMATION WITH AFFILIATES

 

The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing shareholders’ accounts, and subject to applicable law may provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, distributors or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds may share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), information about the Funds’ experiences or transactions with a shareholder, information captured on applicable websites, or other data about a shareholder’s accounts, subject to applicable law. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

PROCEDURES TO SAFEGUARD PRIVATE INFORMATION

 

The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information to internal personnel who need to know that information to perform their jobs, such as servicing shareholder accounts or notifying shareholders of new products or services. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

 

INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM WEBSITES

 

Websites maintained by the Funds or their service providers may use a variety of technologies to collect information that help the Funds and their service providers understand how the website is used. Information collected from your web browser (including small files stored on your device that are commonly referred to as “cookies”) allow the websites to recognize your web browser and help to personalize and improve your user experience and enhance navigation of the website. In addition, the Funds or their Service Affiliates may use third parties to place advertisements for the Funds on other websites, including banner advertisements. Such third parties may collect anonymous information through the use of cookies or action tags (such as web beacons). The information these third parties collect is generally limited to technical and web navigation information, such as your IP address, web pages visited and browser type, and does not include personally identifiable information such as name, address, phone number or email address.

 

You can change your cookie preferences by changing the setting on your web browser to delete or reject cookies. If you delete or reject cookies, some website pages may not function properly.

Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Please find enclosed the Annual Report for the PIMCO Equity Series covering the twelve-month reporting period ended June 30, 2016. The following pages contain specific details about the investment performance of each fund and a discussion of the factors that most affected performance during the reporting period.

 

Outside of the reporting period, PIMCO announced on July 19, 2016 that the firm’s Managing Directors have selected Emmanuel (Manny) Roman as PIMCO’s next Chief Executive Officer. PIMCO’s current CEO Douglas Hodge will assume a new role as Managing Director and Senior Advisor when Mr. Roman joins PIMCO on November 1st.

 

The announcement of Mr. Roman as PIMCO’s CEO is the culmination of a process undertaken by the firm to hire a senior executive who would add leadership and strategic insights combined with a deep appreciation of PIMCO’s diversified global businesses, investment process and focus on superior investment performance and client-service. Mr. Roman’s appointment has the full support of the firm’s leadership including Mr. Hodge, PIMCO’s President Jay Jacobs, the firm’s Executive Committee and its Managing Directors. Mr. Roman has nearly 30 years of experience in the investment industry, with expertise in fixed income and proven executive leadership, most recently as CEO of Man Group PLC, one of the world’s largest publicly-traded alternative asset managers and a leader in liquid, high-alpha investment strategies.

 

Highlights of the financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period include:

 

  n   

The first half of the reporting period through mid-February 2016 was marked by ongoing concerns over the global impact of a slowdown in the Chinese economy, which drove commodity prices and inflation expectations generally lower. By March, a recovery in the price of oil and expectations of lower interest rates for longer supported a rally in risk assets. The Bank of Japan (“BOJ”) and the People’s Bank of China, for example, indicated their intent for further policy easing, with the BOJ resorting to a negative interest rate policy in February 2016. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) also resorted to unconventional monetary policy with additional easing measures and an expansion of its quantitative easing program by shifting its focus toward domestic credit, pushing government yields into negative territory. In June 2016, the ECB began purchasing corporate bonds to help invigorate economic growth and stimulate inflation in the region.

 

  n   

In the U.S., concerns regarding the global impact of tightening financial conditions and renewed U.S. dollar strength kept the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) on hold at their June 2016 meeting, after slightly raising interest rates at their December 2015 meeting. In addition, the U.S. dollar appreciated against most European and emerging market currencies, while falling against the Japanese yen. The U.S. interest rate yield curve flattened as the ten-year U.S. Treasury yield rallied to all-time lows and short-term rates rose with the initial December 2015 Fed rate hike. Revised first quarter 2016 U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) data released in late June was marginally stronger as retail sales, housing and consumer sentiment data indicated an improving economy.

 

  n   

Market movements and news headlines at the end of the reporting period were dominated by the unexpected outcome of the U.K. referendum on June 23, 2016. Initial investor reaction to the Brexit vote was largely “risk-off” as various assets re-priced to the surprise outcome, with U.S. Treasuries, the Japanese yen and gold headlining a safe-haven rally. However, aside from the Pound Sterling and European and Japanese equities, most asset classes recovered in the ensuing week as investors reassessed the impact of the Brexit vote on global growth expectations.

 

  n   

Global developed market equities experienced weak performance amid a period marked by economic uncertainty, increased volatility and geopolitical concerns. U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, were a bright spot, returning 3.99% over the reporting period. International equity markets (developed ex-U.S.), as represented by the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Hedged) declined 9.90% over the reporting period and the MSCI EAFE Net Dividend Index (USD Unhedged) declined 10.16% over the reporting period. Japanese equities, as represented by the Nikkei 225 Index in JPY, declined 21.86% over the reporting period, and European equities, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index in EUR, declined 10.96% over the reporting period. During the first eight months of the

 

2   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents
 

reporting period, declining commodities prices and China’s economic deceleration drove concerns of slowing global growth, which weighed on equity returns. However, in the last third of the reporting period, developed market equities began to rebound from previous lows as global central banks resorted to increasingly unconventional monetary policy. However, late in the reporting period in June, global equities were pressured once again due to Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.

 

  n   

Emerging market (“EM”) equities, as represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Dividends in USD), declined 12.05% over the reporting period. Concerns over slower economic growth in China, a bear market in commodities, political corruption in Latin America and several attempts by the People’s Bank of China to support the domestic equity market added to fears of slowing global growth. Late in the reporting period, emerging market equities experienced a strong rebound following February 2016 lows, with cyclicals and commodity-linked markets leading the rally.

 

  n   

U.S. Treasuries, as represented by the Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, returned 6.22% for the reporting period. Yields beyond one-year maturities declined across the U.S. Treasury yield curve as a more dovish tone from the Fed after its June 2016 meeting, coupled with the surprise result of the U.K. referendum, pushed expectations for policy normalization further into the future. Investors also looked to U.S. Treasuries for their perceived safety and as a source of high-quality yield. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury note yielded 1.49% at the end of the reporting period, down from 2.35% on June 30, 2015. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, a widely used index of U.S. investment-grade bonds, returned 6.00% for the reporting period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Important Information About the Funds

 

We believe that equity funds have an important role to play in a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that equity funds are subject to notable risks. Among other things, equity and equity-related securities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions.

 

The Funds are each “fund of funds,” which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds instead of investing directly in stocks or bonds of other issuers. Under normal circumstances, the Funds invest substantially all of their assets in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the PIMCO Equity Series (the “Trust”) and PIMCO Funds, and in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, except funds of funds (collectively, “Underlying PIMCO Funds”), and unaffiliated funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (collectively, “Acquired Funds”). The risks and strategies associated with an investment in the Fund may result from direct investments and/or indirect exposure through investment in Acquired Funds.

 

In an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates would negatively impact the performance of certain funds, and fixed-income securities held by a Fund are likely to decrease in value. A number of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). In addition, changes in interest rates can be sudden and significant, and there is no guarantee that Fund management will anticipate such movement accurately.

 

The values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions, 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity securities may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages, increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, the value of an equity security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments and a change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole.

 

During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes, including equity securities, may decline in value simultaneously.

The market price of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities and common stocks generally have the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential of all equity securities.

 

Interest rates in the U.S. are near historically low levels. As such, funds that invest in fixed income securities may currently face an increased exposure to the risks associated with a rising interest rate environment. This is especially true as the Fed ended its quantitative easing program and has begun, and may continue, to raise interest rates. Further, while the U.S. bond market has steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer inventories of corporate bonds have remained relatively stagnant. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in the ability of dealers to “make markets.”

 

Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. All of the factors mentioned above, individually or collectively, could lead to increased volatility and/or lower liquidity in the fixed income markets or negatively impact a Fund’s performance or cause the Fund to incur losses. As a result, a Fund may experience increased shareholder redemptions, which, among other things, could further reduce the net assets of the Fund.

 

The Funds may be subject to various risks as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: allocation risk, acquired fund risk, new / small fund risk, equity risk, value investing risk, interest rate risk, call risk, credit risk, high yield and distressed company risk, market risk, issuer risk, liquidity risk, derivatives risk, commodity risk, mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, real estate risk, emerging market risk, sovereign debt risk, currency risk, leveraging risk, small-cap and mid-cap company risk, management risk, short sale risk, tax risk, subsidiary risk, arbitrage risk, and convertible securities risk. A complete description of these risks is contained in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

The Funds may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, leverage risk, management risk and the risk that a Fund may not be able to close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Certain derivative transactions may have a leveraging effect on a Fund. For example, a small investment in a derivative instrument may have a significant impact on a Fund’s exposure to interest rates, currency exchange rates or other investments.

As a result, a relatively small price movement in an asset, instrument or component of the index underlying a derivative instrument may cause an immediate and substantial loss or gain, which translates into heightened volatility of the Fund. A Fund may engage in such transactions regardless of whether the Fund owns the asset, instrument or components of the index underlying the derivative instrument. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in these types of instruments. If it does, the Fund’s investment exposure could far exceed the value of its portfolio securities and its investment performance could be primarily dependent upon securities it does not own. Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may entail risk due to foreign (non-U.S.) economic and political developments; this risk may be increased when investing in emerging markets.

 

For example, if a Fund invests in emerging market debt, it may face increased exposure to interest rate, liquidity, volatility, and redemption risk due to the specific economic, political, geographical, or legal background of the foreign (non-U.S.) issuer.

 

The value of an equity security of an issuer that has paid dividends in the past may decrease if the issuer reduces or eliminates future payments to its shareholders. If the dividends or distributions received by a Fund decrease, the Fund may have less income to distribute to the Fund’s shareholders. In addition, during certain market conditions, the equity securities of issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions may not be widely available or may be highly concentrated in particular sectors of the market. A Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in value stocks. Value stocks may perform differently from other types of stocks and the market as a whole. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by PIMCO if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.

 

The geographical classification of foreign (non-U.S.) securities in this report are classified by the country of incorporation of a holding. In certain instances, a security’s country of incorporation may be different from its country of economic exposure.

 

The PIMCO RealPath Blend Funds are intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional money managers and are designed to offer individual investors comprehensive asset allocation strategies tailored to the time when they expect to retire or to begin withdrawing assets. Each PIMCO RealPath Blend Fund is designed for investors expecting to retire or to begin withdrawing portions of their investments around the year indicated in the Fund’s name. The retirement year included in the

RealPath Blend Fund’s name does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to begin withdrawing your assets. It is intended only as a general guide.

 

The PIMCO RealPath Blend Funds are designed to provide investors with a comprehensive retirement solution tailored to the time when they expect to retire or plan to start withdrawing money (the “target date”). Each PIMCO RealPath Blend 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 experience losses, including losses near, at, or after the target year indicated in the PIMCO RealPath Blend Fund’s name.

 

On each individual Fund Summary page in this Shareholder Report, the Average Annual Total Return table and Cumulative Returns chart measure performance assuming that any dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on (i) Fund distributions or (ii) the redemption of Fund shares. The Cumulative Returns chart and Average Annual Total Return table reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the period shown in the Cumulative Returns chart. Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge. A CDSC may be imposed in certain circumstances on Class A shares that are purchased without an initial sales charge and then redeemed during the first (i) 18 months after purchase for purchases made prior to August 10, 2015 and (ii) 12 months after purchase for purchases made on or after August 10, 2015. The Cumulative Returns chart reflects only Institutional Class performance. Performance for Class P, Administrative Class, Class D, Class A, Class C and Class R shares, if applicable, are typically lower than Institutional Class performance due to the lower expenses paid by Institutional Class shares. Performance shown is net of fees and expenses. A Fund’s total annual operating expense ratios on each individual Fund Summary page are as of the currently effective prospectus, as supplemented to date. The minimum initial investment amount for Institutional Class, Class P and Administrative Class shares is $1,000,000. The minimum initial investment amount for Class A, Class C and Class D shares is $1,000. There is no minimum initial investment for Class R shares. Each Fund measures its performance against a broad-based securities market index (“benchmark index”). The benchmark index does not take into account fees, expenses, or taxes. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in a Fund.

 

The Trustees are responsible generally for overseeing the management of the Trust. The Trustees authorize the Trust to enter into service agreements with the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator and other service providers in order to provide, and in some cases authorize service providers to procure through other parties, necessary or desirable services on behalf of the Trust and the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to or third-party beneficiaries of such service agreements. Neither a Fund’s prospectus nor a Fund’s summary prospectus, the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), any contracts filed as exhibits to the Trust’s registration statement, nor any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings (including this report) from or on behalf of the Trust or a Fund creates a contract between or among any shareholder of a Fund, on the one hand, and the Trust, a Fund, a service provider to the Trust or a Fund, and/or the Trustees or officers of the Trust, on the other hand. The Trustees (or the Trust and its officers, service providers or other delegates acting under authority of the Trustees) may amend the most recent prospectus or use a new prospectus, summary prospectus or SAI with respect to a Fund or the Trust, and/or amend, file and/or issue any other communications, disclosure documents or regulatory filings, and may amend or enter into any contracts to which the Trust or a Fund is a party, and interpret the investment objective(s), policies, restrictions and contractual provisions applicable to any Fund, without shareholder

input or approval, except in circumstances in which shareholder approval is specifically required by law (such as changes to fundamental investment policies) or where a shareholder approval requirement is specifically disclosed in the Trust’s then-current prospectus or SAI.

 

PIMCO has adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (“Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that PIMCO will use when voting on behalf of a Fund. A description of the policies and procedures that PIMCO uses to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities of a Fund, and information about how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30th, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at (888) 87-PIMCO, on the Fund’s website at www.pimco.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov.

* Prior to June 30, 2016, the Fund’s primary benchmark was the Real Return Target 2020 Index. Real Return Target 2020 Index is a composite of other indices. The sub-indices represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index’s maturity date approaches.

 

± The S&P Target Date Index Series is comprised of eleven multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a particular target retirement date. Each index provides varying levels of exposure to each asset class. Each target date allocation is created and retired according to a pre-determined schedule related to the respective target date, as indicated in the index name, and is based on market observations through an annual survey of target date fund managers.

 

It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

 

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance shown. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

* Prior to June 30, 2016, the Fund’s primary benchmark was the Real Return Target 2025 Index. Real Return Target 2025 Index is a composite of other indices. The sub-indices represent stocks, bonds, TIPs, commodities and real estate securities. The component asset classes are weighted within each index to reflect a targeted level of risk at the beginning and end of the investment horizon. Over time, the weights are adjusted based on predetermined formulas to systematically reduce the level of potential risk as the index’s maturity date approaches.

 

± The S&P Target Date Index Series is comprised of eleven multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a particular target retirement date. Each index provides varying levels of exposure to each asset class. Each target date allocation is created and retired according to a pre-determined schedule related to the respective target date, as indicated in the index name, and is based on market observations through an annual survey of target date fund managers.

 

It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   25


Table of Contents

Expense Examples

 

Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for all Funds and share classes is from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 unless noted otherwise in the table and footnotes below.

 

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these rows, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the column titled “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 (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 the 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, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (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.

 

Expense ratios may vary from period to period because of various factors such as an increase in expenses that are not covered by the management fees, such as fees and expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

June 30, 2016

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

PIMCO Equity Series® (the “Trust”) was established as a Delaware statutory trust on December 28, 2009. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class, Administrative Class, and Class A shares of the funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) indicated on the cover of this report. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) serves as the investment adviser (the “Adviser”) for the Funds. Each Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class or Class M shares of any funds of the Trust and PIMCO Funds, and in other affiliated funds, including funds of PIMCO ETF Trust, except funds of funds (“Underlying PIMCO Funds”), and unaffiliated funds that are registered under the Act (collectively, “Acquired Funds”).

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund is treated as an investment company under the reporting requirements of U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a) Securities Transactions and Investment Income  Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains (losses) from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized. Estimated tax liabilities on certain foreign securities are recorded on an accrual basis and are reflected as components of interest income or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statements of Operations, as appropriate. Tax liabilities realized as a result of such security sales are reflected as a component of net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements

of Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from registered investment companies are recorded as realized gains.

 

(b) Multiclass 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 and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets. Realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) are allocated daily based on the relative assets of each class of the respective Fund. Class specific expenses, where applicable, currently include supervisory and administrative and distribution and servicing fees. Under certain circumstances, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of a class of the respective Fund’s shares may be different from the per share NAV of another class of shares as a result of the different daily expense accruals applicable to each class of shares.

 

(c) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders  The following table shows the anticipated frequency of dividends from net investment income, if any, for each Fund.

 

Declared and Paid Quarterly:

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2020 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2025 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2030 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2035 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2040 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2045 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2050 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend 2055 Fund

PIMCO RealPath™ Blend Income Fund

 

Net realized capital gains earned by each Fund, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.

 

Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Examples of events that give rise to timing differences include wash sales, straddles and capital loss carryforwards. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. Examples of transactions that may cause character differences include the treatment of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, swaps, foreign currency transactions and contingent debt instruments. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on each Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

 

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed (overdistributed) net investment income (loss), accumulated undistributed (overdistributed) net realized gain (loss) and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

 

(d) New Accounting Pronouncements  In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2014-11, that expanded secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The ASU became effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The Funds have adopted the ASU. The financial statements have been modified to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding secured borrowing transactions, if any. See the Notes to Schedules of Investments for additional details.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective prospectively for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

 

3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

(a) Investment Valuation Policies  The price of a Fund’s shares is based on the Fund’s NAV. The NAV of a Fund, or each of its share classes, as applicable, is determined by dividing the total value of portfolio investments and other assets attributable to that Fund or class, less any liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding of that Fund or class. On each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, Fund shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of

regular trading (“NYSE Close”). Information that becomes known to the Funds or their agents after the time as of which NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. Each Fund reserves the right to change the time its respective NAV is calculated if the Fund closes earlier, or as permitted by the SEC.

 

For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from established market makers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by the Funds’ approved pricing services, quotation reporting systems and other third-party sources (together, “Pricing Services”). The Funds will normally use pricing data for domestic equity securities received shortly after the NYSE Close and do not normally take into account trading, clearances or settlements that take place after the NYSE Close. A foreign (non- U.S.) equity security traded on a foreign exchange or on more than one exchange is typically valued using pricing information from the exchange considered by the Adviser to be the primary exchange. A foreign (non-U.S.) equity security will be valued as of the close of trading on the foreign exchange, or the NYSE Close, if the NYSE Close occurs before the end of trading on the foreign exchange. Domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives, and equity options are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from Pricing Services may be based on, among other things, information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date. Exchange- traded options, except equity options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Swap agreements are valued on the basis of bid quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or market-based prices supplied by Pricing Services or other pricing sources. With respect to any portion of a Fund’s assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)), the Fund’s NAV will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments.

 

If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value based on procedures established and approved by the Board of

 

 

66   PIMCO EQUITY SERIES     


Table of Contents

 

June 30, 2016

 

Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open are also valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, the Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by Pricing Services and other third-party vendors, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Fund 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 NYSE Close. A Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-U.S. securities. Foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may result in a Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares.

 

Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market exists to a reliable degree will be valued at the mean of the last available bid/ask prices in the market for such loans, as provided by a Pricing Service. Senior secured floating rate loans for which an active secondary market does not exist to a reliable degree will be valued at fair value, which is intended to approximate market value. In valuing a senior secured floating rate loan at fair value, the factors considered may include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants, (b) the terms of the loan, (c) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any, and (d) recent prices in the market for instruments of similar quality, rate, period until next interest rate reset and maturity.

 

Investments 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 value of such investments and, in turn, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments 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 Trust is not open for business. As a result, to the extent that a Fund holds foreign (non-U.S.) investments, the value of those investments may change at times when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares and the value of such investments will be reflected in the Fund’s next calculated NAV.

 

Investments for which market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or persons acting at their direction. The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the fair

valuation methods. In the event that market quotes or market based valuations are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to a Board approved valuation method, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Oversight Committee of the Board (“Valuation Oversight Committee”), generally based on recommendations provided by the Adviser. The Adviser may consult with the Sub-Adviser or Parametric in providing such recommendations or otherwise with respect to valuation of the PIMCO Dividend and Income Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, indicative market quotations (“Broker Quotes”), Pricing Services’ prices), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be reevaluated in light of such significant events.

 

When a Fund uses fair valuation to determine the value of a portfolio security or other asset for purposes of calculating its NAV, such investments will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold. The Funds’ use of fair valuation may also help to deter “stale price arbitrage” as discussed under the “Abusive Trading Practices” section in each Fund’s prospectus.

 

(b) Fair Value Hierarchy  U.S. GAAP describes fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods and requires disclosure of the fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

measurements into levels (Level 1, 2, or 3). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

n   

Level 1 — Inputs using (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

 

n   

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

n   

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

 

In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, the amounts of transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to realized gain (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation), purchases and sales, accrued discounts (premiums), and transfers into and out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP, a fair value hierarchy, and if material, a Level 3 reconciliation and details of significant unobservable inputs, have been included in the Notes to Schedule of Investments for each respective Fund.

 

(c) Valuation Techniques and the Fair Value Hierarchy

Level 1 and Level 2 trading assets and trading liabilities, at fair value  The valuation methods (or “techniques”) and significant inputs used in determining the fair values of portfolio securities or other assets and liabilities categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S.

bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or Pricing Services that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The Pricing Services’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis or as a repurchase commitment in a sale-buyback transaction are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by Pricing Services that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Common stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded notes and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, rights and warrants, or options on futures that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the NYSE Close. These securities are valued using Pricing Services that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Preferred securities and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity-linked securities are valued by referencing the last reported sale or settlement price of the linked referenced equity on the day of valuation. Foreign exchange adjustments are applied to the last reported price to convert the linked equity’s trading currency to the contract’s settling currency. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than ETFs) will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in unregistered open-end investment companies will be calculated based upon the NAVs of such investments and are considered Level 1 provided that the NAVs are observable, calculated daily and are the value at which both purchases and sales will be conducted. Investments in privately held investment funds with significant restrictions on redemption where the inputs to the NAVs are observable will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term debt instruments (such as commercial paper) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, so long as the amortized cost of such short-term debt instrument is approximately the same as the fair value of the instrument as determined without the use of amortized cost valuation. Prior to July 31, 2015, short-term debt investments having a maturity of 60 days or less and repurchase agreements were generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Short-term debt instruments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Equity exchange-traded options and over the counter financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts, options contracts, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. Other than swap agreements, which are

valued using a broker-dealer bid quotation or on market-based prices provided by Pricing Services or other pricing sources, these contracts are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or Pricing Services (normally determined as of the NYSE Close). Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, financial derivative instruments can be valued by Pricing Services using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as quoted prices, issuer details, indices, bid/ask spreads, interest rates, implied volatilities, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Financial derivative instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange (if available). For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable price levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The validity of fair value is reviewed by the Adviser on a periodic basis and may be amended in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.

5. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use financial derivative instruments, and how financial derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of financial derivative contract and related risk exposure, are included in a table in the Notes to Schedules of Investments. The financial derivative instruments outstanding as of period end and the amounts of net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on financial derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments, serve as indicators of the volume of financial derivative activity for the Funds.

 

(a) Options Contracts  Certain Funds may write or purchase options to enhance returns or to hedge an existing position or future investment. A Fund may write call and put options on securities and financial derivative instruments they own or in which they may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. A Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (“call”) or purchased (“put”) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

Certain Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium which is included as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to

be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) when the underlying transaction is executed.

 

Options on Indices  Certain Funds may write or purchase options on indices (“Index Option”). An Index Option uses a specified index as the underlying instrument for the option contract. The exercise for an Index Option will not include physical delivery of the underlying index but will result in a cash transfer of the amount of the difference between the settlement price of the underlying index and the strike price.

 

(b) Swap Agreements  Certain Funds may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over the counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“Centrally Cleared Swaps”). A Fund may enter into asset, credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity, equity and inflation 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.

 

Centrally Cleared Swaps are marked to market daily based upon valuations as determined from the underlying contract or in accordance with the requirements of the central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps (“Swap Variation Margin”), if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid 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). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   73


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

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 (loss) on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

 

For purposes of applying a Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, swap agreements are generally valued by a Fund at market value. In the case of a credit default swap (see below), however, in applying certain of a Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, the Funds will value the credit default swap at its notional value or its full exposure value (i.e., the sum of the notional amount for the contract plus the market value), but may value the credit default swap at market value for purposes of applying certain of a Fund’s other investment policies and restrictions. For example, a Fund may value credit default swaps at full exposure value for purposes of a Fund’s credit quality guidelines (if any) because such value reflects a Fund’s actual economic exposure during the term of the credit default swap agreement. In this context, both the notional amount and the market value may be positive or negative depending on whether a Fund is selling or buying protection through the credit default swap. The manner in which certain securities or other instruments are valued by a Fund for purposes of applying investment policies and restrictions may differ from the manner in which those investments are valued by other types of investors.

 

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its 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.

 

A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover a Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

 

Total Return Swap Agreements  Certain Funds may enter into total return swap agreements to gain or mitigate exposure to the underlying reference asset. Total return swap agreements involve commitments where single or multiple cash flows are exchanged based on the price of an underlying reference asset and on a fixed or variable interest rate. Total return swap agreements may involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific reference asset, which may include an

underlying equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a fixed or variable rate. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, a Fund would receive payments based on any net positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a net negative total return. As the payer, a Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payments in the event of a net negative total return.

 

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds (or Acquired Funds) trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to such things as changes in the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below for a detailed description of select principal risks. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Funds may be subject to, please see the Important Information About the Funds.

 

Investments in Mutual Funds  To the extent that certain Funds invest substantially all of their respective assets in Acquired Funds, the risks associated with investing in these Funds will be closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by the Acquired Funds. The ability of the Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives may depend upon the ability of the Acquired Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Acquired Fund will be achieved. The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate in response to changes in the respective NAV of the Acquired Funds in which it invests. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with the Funds correlate to those of a particular Acquired Fund will depend upon the extent to which the assets of the Funds are allocated from time to time for investment in the Acquired Funds, which will vary.

 

Certain Funds’ investment performance depends upon how each Fund’s assets are allocated and reallocated according to each Fund’s asset allocation targets and ranges. A principal risk of investing in each Fund is that the Funds’ asset allocation sub-adviser will make less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions. The asset allocation sub-adviser attempts to identify investment allocations for the Acquired Funds that will provide consistent, quality performance for the Funds, but there is no guarantee that such allocation techniques will produce the desired results.

 

Market Risks  A Fund’s (or Acquired Funds) investments in financial derivative instruments and other financial instruments expose the Fund to various risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign (non-U.S.) currency, equity and commodity risks.

The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles and may decline due to general market conditions 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 or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Different types of equity securities may react differently to these developments. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

Issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so in the future. An issuer may reduce or eliminate future dividends or distributions at any time and for any reason. Moreover, a Fund may use a dividend capture strategy (i.e., purchasing an equity security shortly before the issuer pays a dividend and selling it shortly thereafter), which may expose the Fund to higher portfolio turnover, increased trading costs and the potential for capital loss or gain, particularly in the event of significant short-term price movements of stocks subject to dividend capture trading. Also, securities purchased to capture a dividend often decline in value at the time of sale (i.e., shortly following the dividend) and the resulting realized loss to the Fund may exceed the amount of the dividend received, thereby negatively impacting the Fund’s net asset value.

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities and other instruments held by a Fund will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund (or Acquired Funds) is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and a Fund (or Acquired Funds) may lose money if these changes are not anticipated by the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) management. A Fund (or Acquired 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.

 

Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates that incorporates a security’s yield, coupon, final maturity and call features, among other characteristics. Convexity is an additional measure of interest rate sensitivity that measures the rate of change of duration in response to changes in interest rates. 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. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies,

inflation rates, general economic conditions, etc.). At present, the U.S. and many parts of the world, including certain European countries, are experiencing near historically low interest rates. The Funds may be subject to heightened interest rate risk because the Fed has ended its quantitative easing program and has begun, and may continue, to raise interest rates. Further, while bond markets have steadily grown over the past three decades, dealer “market making” ability has not kept pace and in some cases has decreased. Given the importance of intermediary “market making” in creating a robust and active market, fixed income securities are currently facing increased volatility and liquidity risks. All of these factors, collectively and/or individually, could cause a Fund (or Acquired Funds) to lose value. If a Fund (or Acquired Funds) lost enough value, the Fund (or Acquired Funds) could face increased shareholder redemptions, which could force the Fund to liquidate investments at disadvantageous times or prices, thereby adversely affecting the Fund.

 

To the extent that a Fund (or Acquired Fund) may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to Russia, the Fund (or Acquired Fund) is subject to various risks such as, but not limited to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks include uncertain political and economic policies, short-term market volatility, poor accounting standards, corruption and crime, an inadequate regulatory system, and unpredictable taxation. Investments in Russia are particularly subject to the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions — which may impact companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services and defense, among others — may negatively impact a Fund’s (or Acquired Fund’s) performance and/or ability to achieve its investment objective. The Russian securities market, as compared to U.S. markets, has significant price volatility, less liquidity, a smaller market capitalization and a smaller number of traded securities. Adverse currency exchange rates are a risk and there may be a lack of available currency hedging instruments. Investments in Russia may be subject to the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account for a significant portion of Russia’s exports, leaving the country vulnerable to swings in world prices.

 

If a Fund (or Acquired Funds) invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or in financial derivative instruments that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund (or Acquired Funds), or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) base currency 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 changes in interest rates, intervention (or

 

 

  ANNUAL REPORT   JUNE 30, 2016   75


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the Fund’s (or Acquired Funds’) returns.

 

A Fund’s (or Acquired Fund’s) investments in commodity-linked financial derivative instruments may subject the Fund (or Acquired Fund) to greater market price volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked financial derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

 

Credit and Counterparty Risks  A Fund (or Acquired Funds) will be exposed to credit risk to parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. A Fund (or Acquired Funds) minimizes concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges where applicable. Over the counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions are subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally cleared derivative transactions might not be available for OTC derivative transactions. For financial derivative instruments traded on exchanges or clearinghouses, the primary credit risk is the creditworthiness of a Fund’s clearing broker or the exchange or clearinghouse itself. A Fund (or Acquired Funds) could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a financial derivative instruments contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities and financial derivative instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings.

 

Similar to credit risk, a Fund (or Acquired Funds) may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund (or Acquired Funds) has unsettled or open transactions will default. PIMCO, as the Adviser, minimizes counterparty risks to the Funds (or Acquired Funds) through a number of ways. Prior to entering into transactions with a new counterparty, the PIMCO Counterparty Risk Committee conducts an extensive credit review of such counterparty and must approve the use of such counterparty. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the underlying contract, to the extent that unpaid amounts owed to a Fund (or Acquired Funds) exceed a predetermined threshold, such counterparty shall advance collateral to the Fund (or Acquired Funds) in the form of cash or securities equal in value to the unpaid amount owed to the Fund (or

Acquired Funds). A Fund (or Acquired Funds) may invest such collateral in securities or other instruments and will typically pay interest to the counterparty on the collateral received. If the unpaid amount owed to a Fund (or Acquired Funds) subsequently decreases, the Fund (or Acquired Funds) would be required to return to the counterparty all or a portion of the collateral previously advanced. PIMCO’s attempts to minimize counterparty risk may, however, be unsuccessful.

 

All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once a Fund (or Acquired Funds) has 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.

 

Master Netting Arrangements  A Fund may be subject to various netting arrangements (“Master Agreements”) with select counterparties. Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Each type of Master Agreement governs certain types of transactions. Different types of transactions may be traded out of different legal entities or affiliates of a particular organization, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes the Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.

 

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under most Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of AAA rated paper or sovereign securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable Master Agreement. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at value (securities) or Deposits with counterparty. Cash collateral received is not typically held in a segregated account and as such is reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits from counterparty. The market value of any securities received as collateral is

June 30, 2016

 

not reflected as a component of NAV. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.

 

Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) govern repurchase, reverse repurchase, and sale-buyback transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of transactions under the Master Repo Agreement, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end are disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) govern certain forward settling transactions, such as To-Be-Announced securities, delayed-delivery or sale-buyback transactions by and between a Fund and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, transaction initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. The market value of forward settling transactions, collateral pledged or received, and the net exposure by counterparty as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

Customer Account Agreements and related addenda govern cleared derivatives transactions such as futures, options on futures, and cleared OTC derivatives. Such transactions require posting of initial margin as determined by each relevant clearing agency which is segregated in an account at a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). In the United States, counterparty risk may be reduced as creditors of an FCM cannot have a claim to Fund assets in the segregated account. Portability of exposure reduces risk to the Funds. Variation margin, or changes in market value, are exchanged daily, but may not be netted between futures and cleared OTC derivatives unless the parties have agreed to a separate arrangement in respect of portfolio margining. The market value or accumulated unrealized appreciation

(depreciation), initial margin posted, and any unsettled variation margin as of period end is disclosed in the Notes to Schedules of Investments.

 

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern bilateral OTC derivative transactions entered into by a Fund with select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral posting 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. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third-party custodian.

(c) Distribution and Servicing Fees  PIMCO Investments LLC (“PI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO, serves as the distributor (“Distributor”) of the Trust’s shares.

 

The Trust has adopted separate Distribution and Servicing Plans with respect to the Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Trust pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. In connection with the distribution of Class C and Class R shares of the Trust, the Distributor receives distribution fees from the Trust of up to 0.75% for Class C shares and 0.25% for Class R shares, and in connection with personal services rendered to Class A, Class C and Class R shareholders and the maintenance of such shareholder accounts, the Distributor receives servicing fees from the Trust of up to 0.25% for each of Class A, Class C and Class R shares (percentages reflect annual rates of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable class).

 

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan with respect to the Class D shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Class D Plan”). Under the terms of the Class D Plan, a Fund is permitted to compensate the Distributor out of the assets attributable to the Class D shares of the Fund, in an amount up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class D shares for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, shareholder services, and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts with respect to Class D shareholders of the Fund, some of which may be deemed to be primarily intended to result in the sale of Class D shares.

 

The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Servicing Plan with respect to the Administrative Class shares of each Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the “Administrative Class Plan”). Under the terms of the Administrative Class Plan, a Fund may compensate the Distributor for providing, or procuring through financial intermediaries, distribution, administrative, recordkeeping, shareholder and/or related services with respect to Administrative Class shares. The Administrative Class Plan permits a Fund to make total payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Class shares.

 

The Trust paid distribution and servicing fees at effective rates as set forth in the following table (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):

 

          Distribution Fee     Servicing Fee  

Administrative Class

      —          0.25%   

Class A

      —          0.25%   

 

The Distributor also received the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon

certain redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. For the period ended June 30, 2016, the Distributor retained $184,988 representing commissions (sales charges) and contingent deferred sales charges from the Trust.

 

(d) Fund Expenses  PIMCO provides or procures supervisory and administrative services for shareholders and also bears the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The Trust is responsible for the following expenses: (i) taxes and governmental fees; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iii) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expense; (iv) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (v) extraordinary expense, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vi) organizational expenses; and (vii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class Shares, and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multi-Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed on the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual fund operating expenses per share class.

 

Each Trustee, other than those affiliated with PIMCO or its affiliates, receives an annual retainer of $62,000, plus $6,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, $375 ($750 in the case of the audit committee chair with respect to audit committee meetings) for each committee meeting attended and $750 for each Board meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, the audit committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $9,000, the valuation oversight committee lead receives an additional annual retainer of $2,000 (to the extent there are co-leads of the valuation oversight committee, the annual retainer will be split evenly between the co-leads, so that each co-lead individually receives an additional retainer of $1,000) and the governance committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $750.

 

These expenses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Fund of the Trust according to its respective net assets. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.

 

(e) Expense Limitation  PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of the Funds’ Supervisory and Administrative Fees in each Fund’s first fiscal year, to the extent that the payment of each Fund’s pro rata share of organizational expenses and Trustee Fees cause the actual expense

ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-current prospectus plus 0.0049%, the “Expense Limit” (calculated as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each class).

 

PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months after the waiver. Expenses that have been waived may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Fund’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount reimbursed does not exceed the Expense Limit. The recoverable amounts to PIMCO at June 30, 2016, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Fund Name         Recoverable
Amounts

    $   17

(f) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses  The Underlying PIMCO Fund expenses for the Funds are based upon an allocation of a Fund’s assets among the Underlying PIMCO Funds and upon the total annual operating expenses of the Institutional Class or Class M shares, as applicable, of these Underlying PIMCO Funds. The Underlying PIMCO Fund expenses incurred by a Fund will vary with changes in the expenses of the Underlying PIMCO Funds, as well as the allocation of the Fund’s assets.

 

The expenses associated with investing in a fund of funds are generally higher than those for mutual funds that do not invest in other mutual funds. The cost of investing in a fund of funds will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds. By investing in a fund of funds, an investor will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by Acquired Funds in addition to each Fund’s direct fees and expenses. In addition, the use

of a fund of funds structure could affect the timing, amount and character of distributions to the shareholders and may therefore increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

 

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Adviser, Administrator, and Distributor are related parties. Fees payable to these parties are disclosed in Note 7, Fees and Expenses and the accrued related party fee amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

9. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee or officer of the Trust is indemnified and each employee or other agent of the Trust (including the Trust’s investment manager) may be indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. 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. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.

 

10. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

 

The length of time a Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” Each Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs to a Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The transaction costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. The portfolio turnover rates are reported in the Financial Highlights.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

 

12. REGULATORY AND LITIGATION MATTERS

 

The Funds are not named as defendants in any material litigation or arbitration proceedings and are not aware of any material litigation or claim pending or threatened against them.

 

PIMCO has received a Wells Notice from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that relates to the PIMCO Total Return Active Exchange-Traded Fund (“BOND”), a series of PIMCO ETF Trust. The notice indicates the staff’s preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC commence a civil action against PIMCO stemming from a non-public investigation relating to BOND. A Wells Notice is neither a formal allegation of wrongdoing nor a finding that any law was violated.

 

This matter principally pertains to the valuation of smaller sized positions in non-agency mortgage-backed securities purchased by BOND between its inception on February 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, BOND’s performance disclosures for that period, and PIMCO’s compliance policies and procedures related to these matters.

 

The Wells process provides PIMCO with the opportunity to demonstrate to the SEC staff why it believes its conduct was appropriate, in keeping with industry standards, and that no action should be taken. PIMCO believes that this matter is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on any Fund or on PIMCO’s ability to provide investment management services to any Fund.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this report.

13. FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

 

Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

 

A Fund may be subject to local withholding taxes, including those imposed on realized capital gains. Any applicable foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and may be payable following the sale of any applicable investments.

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Adviser has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of June 30, 2016, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in future tax returns.

 

The Funds file U.S. tax returns. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the fiscal years ending in 2013-2015, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Act of 2010, a fund is permitted to carry forward any new capital losses for an unlimited period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PIMCO Equity Series®:

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PIMCO RealPath Blend 2020 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2025 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2030 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2035 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2040 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2045 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2050 Fund, PIMCO RealPath Blend 2055 Fund, and PIMCO RealPath Blend Income Fund (nine series of PIMCO Equity Series®, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at June 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period December 31, 2014 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Federal Income Tax Information

 

(Unaudited)

 

As required by the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and Treasury Regulations, if applicable, shareholders must be notified within 60 days of the Funds’ fiscal year end regarding the status of qualified dividend income and the dividend received deduction.

 

Dividend Received Deduction.  Corporate shareholders are generally entitled to take the dividend received deduction on the portion of a Fund’s dividend distribution that qualifies under tax law. The percentage of the following Funds’ fiscal 2016 ordinary income dividend that qualifies for the corporate dividend received deduction is set forth below:

 

Qualified Dividend Income.  Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (the “Act”), the following percentage of ordinary dividends paid during the calendar year was designated as “qualified dividend income”, as defined in the Act, subject to reduced tax rates in 2016:

 

Qualified Interest Income and Qualified Short-Term Capital Gain (for non-U.S. resident shareholders only).  Under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified interest income,” as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(E) of the Code, and therefore are designated as interest-related dividends, as defined in Section 871(k)(1)(C) of the Code. Further, the following amounts of ordinary dividends paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are considered to be derived from “qualified short-term capital gain,” as defined in Section 871(k)(2)(D) of the Code, and therefore are designated as qualified short-term gain dividends, as defined by Section 871(k)(2)(C) of the Code.

As a matter of policy, the Funds do not disclose any non-public personal information provided by shareholders or gathered by the Funds to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on shareholder satisfaction and gathering shareholder proxies. The Funds or their affiliates may also retain non-affiliated companies to market Fund shares or products which use Fund shares and enter into joint marketing arrangements with them and other companies. These companies may have access to a shareholder’s personal and account information, but are permitted to use this information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases, the shareholders will be clients of a third party, but the Funds may also provide a shareholder’s personal and account information to the shareholder’s respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or financial advisor or consultant.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

 

The Funds reserve the right to disclose or report personal or account information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where the Funds believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect their rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any fund advised by PIMCO in which a shareholder has invested. In addition, the Funds may disclose information about a shareholder or a

shareholder’s accounts to a non-affiliated third party at the shareholder’s request or with the consent of the shareholder.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH AFFILIATES

 

The Funds may share shareholder information with their affiliates in connection with servicing shareholders’ accounts, and subject to applicable law may provide shareholders with information about products and services that the Funds or their Advisers, distributors or their affiliates (“Service Affiliates”) believe may be of interest to such shareholders. The information that the Funds may share may include, for example, a shareholder’s participation in the Funds or in other investment programs sponsored by a Service Affiliate, a shareholder’s ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), information about the Funds’ experiences or transactions with a shareholder, information captured on applicable websites, or other data about a shareholder’s accounts, subject to applicable law. The Funds’ Service Affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share shareholder information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

 

PROCEDURES TO SAFEGUARD PRIVATE INFORMATION

 

The Funds take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, the Funds have implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to a shareholder’s non-public personal information to internal personnel who need to know that information to perform their jobs, such as servicing shareholder accounts or notifying shareholders of new products or services. Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place to guard a shareholder’s non-public personal information.

 

INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM WEBSITES

 

Websites maintained by the Funds or their service providers may use a variety of technologies to collect information that help the Funds and their service providers understand how the website is used. Information collected from your web browser (including small files stored on your device that are commonly referred to as “cookies”) allow the websites to recognize your web browser and help to personalize and improve your user experience and enhance navigation of the website. In addition, the Funds or their Service Affiliates may use third parties to place advertisements for the Funds on other websites, including banner advertisements. Such third parties may collect anonymous information through the use of cookies or action tags (such as web beacons). The information these third parties collect is generally limited to technical and web navigation information, such as your IP address, web pages visited and browser type, and does not include personally identifiable information such as name, address, phone number or email address.

  (e) Pre-approval policies and procedures

(1) The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) to govern the Audit Oversight Committee’s pre-approval of (i) all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Registrant by its independent accountant, and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by such independent accountant to the Registrant’s investment adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (collectively, the “Service Affiliates”) if the services provided directly relate to the Registrant’s operations and financial reporting. In accordance with the Procedures, the Audit Oversight Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent accountant to certify the Registrant’s financial statements for each fiscal year. With respect to the pre-approval of non-audit services provided to the Registrant and its Service Affiliates, the Procedures provide that the Audit Oversight Committee may annually pre-approve a list of types or categories of non-audit services that may be provided to the Registrant or its Service Affiliates, or the Audit Oversight Committee may pre-approve such services on a project-by-project basis as they arise. Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Oversight Committee if it is to be provided by the independent accountant. The Procedures also permit the Audit Oversight Committee to delegate authority to one or more of its members to pre-approve any proposed non-audit services that have not been previously pre-approved by the Audit Oversight Committee, subject to the ratification by the full Audit Oversight Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting.

(2) With respect to the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4, no amount was approved by the Audit Oversight Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

  (h) The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
