FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund:
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Class M | Class P | Administrative Class |
Class D | |||||||||||||
Management Fees | 0.18 | % | 0.28 | % | 0.18 | % | 0.18 | % | ||||||||
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees |
N/A | N/A | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | ||||||||||
Other Expenses(1) | 0.01 | % | 0.01 | % | 0.01 | % | 0.01 | % | ||||||||
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)(3) |
0.19 | % | 0.29 | % | 0.44 | % | 0.44 | % |
(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 0.18%, 0.28%, 0.43%, and 0.43% for Class M, Class P, Administrative Class and Class D, respectively. |
(3) | To maintain certain net yields for the Fund, PIMCO or its affiliates may temporarily and voluntarily waive, reduce or reimburse all or any portion of the Fund’s fees and expenses. See “Management of the Funds—Temporary Fee Waivers, Reductions and Reimbursements” for additional information. Such waivers, if any, are not reflected in this table. |
Example. The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Class M, Class P, Administrative Class or Class D 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Example shows what your costs would be based on these assumptions.
1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |||||||||||||
Class M | $19 | $61 | $107 | $243 | ||||||||||||
Class P | $30 | $93 | $163 | $368 | ||||||||||||

Class D | $45 | $141 | $246 | $555 |
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of U.S. government securities. The Fund may invest in the following: U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and other obligations issued by, or guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The Fund may only invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities that mature in 397 days or fewer from the date of purchase. The dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of the Fund may not exceed 60 days and the dollar-weighted average life to maturity of the Fund may not exceed 120 days. The Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
The Fund’s investments will comply with applicable rules governing the quality, maturity and diversification of securities held by money market funds.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. 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
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
PIMCO Government Money Market 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.
