FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

 

LOGO

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in Class A shares of eligible funds offered by Allianz Funds, Allianz Multi-Strategy Funds, PIMCO Equity Series and PIMCO Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available in the “Classes of Shares—Class A, B, C and R Shares” section on page 115 of the Fund’s prospectus or from your financial advisor.

 

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

 

     Class A     Class B     Class C     Class R
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)   3.75   NONE      NONE      NONE
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of the lower of the original purchase price or redemption price)   1.00   5.00 %    1.00   NONE

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

 

     Class A     Class B     Class C     Class R  
Management Fees   0.65   0.65   0.65   0.65
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1)
Fees
  0.25   1.00   0.75   0.50
Other Expenses (1)   0.04   0.04   0.04   0.04
Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses(2)
  0.94   1.69   1.44   1.19

 

(1) “Other Expenses” reflect interest expense. Interest expense results from the Fund’s use of certain investments such as reverse repurchase agreements. Such expense is required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and is not payable to PIMCO. Any interest expense amount will vary based on the Fund’s use of those investments as an investment strategy best suited to seek the objective of the Fund.

 

(2) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses excluding interest expense is 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.40% and 1.15% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R, respectively.

 

Example The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C or Class R shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example also assumes conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after five years. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

If you redeem your shares at the end of each period:

 

     1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years
Class A   $467    $663    $876    $1,486
Class B   $672    $833    $1,118    $1,705
Class C   $247    $456    $787    $1,724
Class R   $121    $378    $654    $1,443

 

If you do not redeem your shares:

 

     1 Year    3 Years    5 Years    10 Years
Class A   $467    $663    $876    $1,486
Class B   $172    $533    $918    $1,705
Class C   $147    $456    $787    $1,724
Class R   $121    $378    $654    $1,443

 

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

 

LOGO

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 392% of the average value of its portfolio.

 

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

 

LOGO

The Fund seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 Index by investing under normal circumstances in S&P 500 Index derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instru-


LOGO


PIMCO StocksPLUS® Fund

 

ments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Fund may invest in common stocks, options, futures, options on futures and swaps. The Fund normally uses S&P 500 Index derivatives instead of S&P 500 Index stocks to attempt to equal or exceed the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund typically will seek to gain long exposure to its benchmark index in an amount, under normal circumstances, approximately equal to the Fund’s net assets. The value of S&P 500 derivatives should closely track changes in the value of the S&P 500 Index. However, S&P 500 Index derivatives may be purchased with a small fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the equity securities directly, so that the remainder of the assets may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) actively manages the Fixed Income Instruments held by the Fund with a view toward enhancing the Fund’s total return, subject to an overall portfolio duration which is normally not expected to exceed one year.

 

The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The Fund seeks to remain invested in S&P 500 Index derivatives or S&P 500 Index stocks even when the S&P 500 Index is declining.

 

Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in S&P 500 Index securities, when S&P 500 Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a “basket” of S&P 500 Index stocks. The Fund also may invest in exchange traded funds based on the S&P 500 Index, such as Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts.

 

The Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. Assets not invested in equity securities or derivatives may be invested in Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities (“junk bonds”) rated B or higher by Moody’s, or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred stocks.

 

PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

LOGO

It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both S&P 500 Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of S&P 500 Index stocks. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return are:

 

Interest Rate Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration

 

Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations

 

High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments

 

Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries

 

Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or service

 

Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector

 

Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments, including liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested

 

Equity Risk: the risk that the value of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.

 

Mortgage-Related and other Asset-Backed Risk: the risk of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk

 

Foreign (non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments

 

Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk

 

Currency Risk: the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund’s investments in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, or in derivatives that provide exposure to, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies

 

Leveraging Risk: the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, such as reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment trans-



Summary Prospectus

 

actions, or derivative instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged

 

Management Risk: the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved

 

Short Sale Risk: the risk of entering into short sales, including the potential loss of more money than the actual cost of the investment, and the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund

 

Please see “Description of Principal Risks” in the Fund’s prospectus for a more detailed description of the risks of investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

 

LOGO

The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an index of similar funds. Absent any applicable waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund’s Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance for Class A, B and C shares in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

 

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. Lipper Large-Cap Core Fund Average is a total return performance average of funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. that invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

 

Performance for the Fund is updated daily and quarterly and may be obtained as follows: daily updates on the net asset value and performance page at http://www.allianzinvestors.com/mutualFunds/priceAndPerformance/daily_All_A.jsp, and quarterly updates at http://www.allianzinvestors.com/mutualFunds/priceAndPerformance/quarterly_All_A.jsp.

(1) After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are for Class A shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
