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:          

 

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)

 

     Institutional
Class
    Class P     Administrative
Class
 
Management Fees     0.32     0.42     0.32

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)     0.32     0.42     0.57

 

(1) Other Expenses do not reflect the Fund’s participation in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) as the Program expired on September 18, 2009. If the Fund’s Program payments were included, Other Expenses would have been 0.02% and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would have been 0.34%, 0.44% and 0.59% for Institutional Class, Class P and Administrative Class, respectively.

 

(2) 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 Fund—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 Institutional Class, Class P or Administrative Class 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  
Institutional Class     $33         $103         $180         $406   
Class P     $43         $135         $235         $530   
Administrative Class     $58         $183         $318         $714   

 

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

 

LOGO

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 97% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of money market securities that are in the highest rating category for short-term obligations. The Fund also may invest up to 3% of its total assets in money market securities that are in the second-highest rating category for short-term obligations that have a remaining maturity of 45 days or less. 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 may invest in the following: obligations of the U.S. Government (including its agencies and instrumentalities); short-term corporate debt securities of domestic and foreign corporations; obligations of domestic and foreign commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations; and commercial paper. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in or obligations issued by U.S. banks.

 

The Fund’s investments will comply with applicable rules governing the quality, maturity and diversification of securities held by money market funds.

 

PRINCIPAL RISKS

 

LOGO

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


LOGO

 

LOGO



PIMCO Money Market Fund

 

 

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 reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or service

 

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

 

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

 

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 shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table.

Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. Class P of the Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. To obtain the Fund’s current yield, call 1-800-927-4648. The Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

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 Institutional Class shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.
