For Class A shares, the CDSC is imposed only in certain circumstances where shares are purchased without a front-end sales charge at the time of purchase. For Class B shares, the maximum CDSC is imposed on shares redeemed in the first year, with CDSCs decreasing over time to zero for shares held longer. For Class C shares, the CDSC is imposed only on shares redeemed in the first year.

 

Examples. The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, your investment has a 5% return each year, and the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Examples also assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after seven years. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

 

        Example: Assuming you redeem your shares at the end of each period      Example: Assuming you do not redeem your shares
Share Class      1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years      1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years
Class A      $672      $931      $1,209      $2,000      $672      $931      $1,209      $2,000
Class B      705      934      1,288      2,065      205      634      1,088      2,065
Class C      305      634      1,088      2,348      205      634      1,088      2,348
Class R      155      480      829      1,813      155      480      829      1,813

 

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was 201%. High levels of portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance.


Allianz NFJ Renaissance Fund

Principal Investment Strategies

 

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of companies that the portfolio managers believe are trading at attractive valuations. Although the Fund typically invests in companies with small to medium market capitalizations (between $1 billion and $15 billion), it may invest in companies in any capitalization range. The Fund normally invests significantly in securities that the portfolio managers expect will generate income (for example, by paying dividends). The portfolio managers use a value investing style focusing on companies whose securities the portfolio managers believe have low valuations. The portfolio managers use quantitative factors to screen the Fund’s initial selection universe. To further narrow the universe, the portfolio managers analyze factors such as price momentum (i.e., changes in security price relative to changes in overall market prices), earnings

estimate revisions (i.e., changes in analysts’ earnings-per-share estimates) and fundamental changes. The portfolio managers also identify what they believe to be undervalued securities in each industry to determine potential holdings for the Fund representing a broad range of industry groups. After narrowing the universe through a combination of qualitative analysis and fundamental research, the portfolio managers select securities for the Fund. In addition to common stocks and other equity securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants), the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in non-U.S. securities, including emerging market securities, (without limit in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)) and may invest up to 20% of its assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Effective June 8, 2009, the Fund changed its name from “OCC Renaissance Fund”—it was previously sub-advised by Oppenheimer Capital LLC.


 

Principal Risks

 

The Fund’s net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund’s management, factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk, Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer’s financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer, and securities issued by smaller companies may be more volatile and present increased liquidity risk (Equity Securities Risk, Smaller Company Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or counterparty may default on obligations); Focused Investment Risk (focusing on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions increases risk and

volatility); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value); Non-U.S. Investment Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Currency Risk (non-U.S. securities markets and issuers may be more volatile, smaller, less-liquid, less transparent and subject to less oversight, particularly in emerging markets, and non-U.S. securities values may also fluctuate with currency exchange rates); REIT Risk (adverse changes in the real estate markets may affect the value of REIT investments); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance). Please see “Summary of Principal Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund’s risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment 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

 

The performance information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its total return from year to year and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns with those of a broad-based market index and a performance average of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and the information to its left show performance of the Fund’s Class A shares, but do not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, returns would be lower than those shown. Class B, Class C and Class R performance would be lower than Class A performance because of the lower expenses paid by Class A shares. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of a share class, performance information shown for such class

may be based on the performance of an older class of shares that dates back to the Fund’s inception, as adjusted to reflect certain fees and expenses paid by the newer class. These adjustments generally result in estimated performance results for the newer class that are higher or lower than the actual results of the predecessor class due to differing levels of fees and expenses paid. Details regarding the calculation of the Fund’s class-by-class performance, including a discussion of any performance adjustments, are provided under “Additional Performance Information” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus and SAI. Past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily predictive of future performance. Visit www.allianzfunds.com for more current performance information.

After-tax returns are estimated 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. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold 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 share classes will vary.

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, its distributor, its investment adviser or their affiliates may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.

Performance Information

 

The performance information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its total return from year to year and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns with those of a broad-based market index and a performance average of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and the information to its left show performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. Administrative Class and Class D performance would be lower than Institutional Class performance because of the lower expenses paid by Institutional Class shares. For periods prior to the inception date of a share class, performance information shown for such class may be based on the performance of an older class of shares that dates back to

the Fund’s inception, as adjusted to reflect certain fees and expenses paid by the newer class. These adjustments generally result in estimated performance results for the newer class that are higher or lower than the actual results of the predecessor class due to differing levels of fees and expenses paid.
