A Word About Risk: A fund may be subject to various risks as described in its prospectus. Some of those risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: derivatives risk, smaller company risk, non-US investment risk, focused investment risk and specific sector investment risks. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit and counterparty risk, management risk and the risk that a fund is unable to close out a position when it is most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and additional volatility compared to a diversified equity portfolio. The principal values of the Funds are not guaranteed at any time. Please refer to the applicable Fund’s current prospectus for complete details.

 


Letter from the President

Julian Sluyters

President & CEO

Dear Shareholder,

Despite a period of weakness, the US economy as a whole expanded during the 12-month fiscal reporting period ended June 30, 2015. While growth in many developed foreign countries was far from robust, there were some signs of progress as the reporting period progressed, partially due to a highly accommodative monetary policy. Against this backdrop, US equities posted a solid gain, whereas international stocks declined. Elsewhere, the US bond market moved modestly higher during the reporting period.

The 12-Month Fiscal Period in Review

For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2015, US stocks rose 7.42%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Two measures of stock performance in developed international and global markets produced mixed results, in dollar-denominated terms, with the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia and Far East) Index declining 4.22% and the MSCI World Index gaining 1.43%. Elsewhere, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -5.12% in dollar-denominated terms.

With respect to bonds, the Barclays US Credit Index rose 0.93%, whereas the Barclays Global High Yield Index declined 3.88%. The Barclays US Government Bond Index returned 2.27%, while the broader bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, gained 1.86%.

Turning to the US economy, gross domestic product (“GDP”), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, expanded at a revised 4.3% annual pace during the third quarter of 2014. Economic growth then moderated, as GDP grew at an annual pace of 2.1% during the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.6% during the first quarter of 2015. However, US economic activity improved, as the Commerce Department’s initial estimate showed that GDP — released after the reporting period had ended — grew at an annual pace of 2.3% for the second quarter of 2015.

The US Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained an accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period, but it appeared to move closer to its first rate hike in nearly a decade. Looking back, at its meeting in October 2014, the Fed announced that it had concluded its asset purchase program. Moving forward, at its March 2015 meeting, the Fed eliminated the word “patient” from its official statement regarding when it may start raising rates. Then, at its June 2015 meeting, the Fed said that it “currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are

near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run.”

Economic growth outside the US was mixed during the reporting period. Anemic growth and concerns of deflation in the euro zone caused the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to announce that, beginning in March 2015, it would start a 60 billion-a-month bond-buying program that is expected to run until September 2016, if not longer. Early indications are that the ECB’s actions have helped to spur modest growth. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) also maintained a highly accommodative monetary policy. In October 2014, BoJ announced that it would increase its asset purchases by between ¥10 trillion and ¥20 trillion ($90.7 billion to $181.3 billion) to approximately ¥80 trillion ($725 billion) annually. Elsewhere, after holding rates steady at 6.0% since July 2012, the People’s Bank of China lowered rates four

times during the reporting period in an effort to stimulate growth. Its most recent action in June 2015 pushed rates down to 4.85%.

Outlook

While there have been signs of progress, we believe Greece will likely remain a headline-generator for some time. While we expect continued volatility and acknowledge the potential for Greece’s exit from the eurozone monetary union, we believe the balance of risks to be containable and may present buying opportunities.

Looking beyond geopolitics, global macroeconomic data remain consistent

with a moderate pace of growth heading into the second half of 2015. From an inflation standpoint, if the current trend holds, easier year-over-year comparables may cause a marked uptick in inflation in the industrialized world by early 2016, a development that we believe may be under-appreciated by some investors.

Despite the changing economic environment, we believe money and bond markets still do not appear to be priced for the start of Fed tightening. This, combined with poor bond-market liquidity, could result in more volatility as we get closer to interest rate “lift-off.” While equities may also experience volatility when the Fed raises rates, we believe stocks should see support from improving economic growth.

On behalf of Allianz Global Investors Fund Management and our Sub-Advisers, thank you for investing with us. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor and to visit our website, us.allianzgi.com, for additional information. We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

Unaudited

AllianzGI Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Lu Yu, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the AllianzGI Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) returned -2.76%, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -5.12%.

Market Environment

Emerging market equities were significantly impacted by changing investor sentiment over the reporting period, with sentiment oscillating from bullish to bearish several times. At the beginning of the reporting period, emerging market equities were the beneficiaries of positive expectations for elections in countries such as India, Brazil and Indonesia, advancing in July and August. Volatility picked up in September amid concerns of the impact from a strengthening dollar coupled with commodity and energy price weakness. This translated into declines in three of the four months to end the calendar year, particularly for energy-related countries like Russia and Brazil. Market participants were then fixated on China, as a slowdown in GDP resulted in a fresh round of stimulus packages aimed at spurring growth. Emerging market equities rallied significantly in April, as investor preferences shifted gears in favor of lower-quality stocks which benefited from interest rate cuts. Market sentiment sharply reversed course in May and June as investors became increasingly apprehensive of ripple effects from the situation in Greece and concerns of a potential bubble in the local China A-share market. This resulted in indiscriminate selling.

At the end of the reporting period, China was the top benchmark performer for the full reporting period, followed by the Philippines and Taiwan. Meanwhile, Greece was the largest benchmark detractor, with commodity and energy-related countries of Colombia, Brazil and Russia also among the detractors. Sector performance for the benchmark index was mixed, with health care being the largest contributor followed by more modest returns for financials and telecom services. Conversely, cyclically-oriented stocks in the energy, materials and utilities sectors were among the biggest detractors.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark index was the result of positive stock selection, alongside favorable sector and country allocation decisions. In addition, the reduction in forecast risk relative to the benchmark index helped protect capital during down market periods, which allowed clients to benefit from compounding returns.

During the reporting period, South Korea was the best relative performer for the Fund, contributing to results thanks to bottom-up stock selection. Emerging markets-related selections listed in the United States added to results as did stock selection in Brazil and Russia. Conversely, the Fund’s more conservative stock selection in China offset results, as did bottom-up investments in Taiwan. Consumer staples proved to be the best performing sector, and an underweight allocation to energy helped relative returns. Stock picking in information technology lagged the benchmark, as did selections in telecom services.

The largest individual active contributor to performance was Amorepacific Corp. Shares of the Korean skin care, make-up and fragrance products manufacturer advanced, due to strong revenue growth and market share gains. In addition, the company made the decision to split its share price in an effort to increase liquidity. Shares of Bank Of China Ltd. advanced, thanks in part to government stimulus packages aimed at spurring growth in the region. Earnings of the nation’s third-largest lender increased as loan and fee income rose. The largest individual active detractor to performance was LG Display Co. Ltd. The Korean developer and manufacturer of LCD, computer and mobile phone displays was lower following weakness in television panel prices. In addition, not owning Tencent Holdings Ltd. offset results given its sizeable benchmark index weight and outperformance due to its strong internet and social media leadership position, alongside positive sentiment towards Tencent in China.

AllianzGI Focused Growth Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Scott Migliori, CFA, Senior Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Focused Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 11.57%, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “benchmark Index”), which returned 10.56%.

Market Environment

On the macro level, US share prices climbed to fresh all-time highs, as a strengthening labor market and solid corporate earnings outweighed mixed economic data and plummeting oil prices. During the period, we saw GDP growth fall short of expectations due to a variety of factors, including an unusually harsh winter, the west coast port strike, falling investment in the energy sector and a strong US dollar (which dampened exports). While some parts of the economy struggled, the job market has been a bright spot with unemployment falling to the lowest level since May 2008. Later in the period, consumer spending surged while pending home sales jumped to their highest level in nine years.

At the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting in March, central bankers signaled that if incoming data is sufficiently strong, rate hikes could begin in 2015. Policymakers also reduced their forecasts for GDP, inflation and long-term unemployment. Together, we believe this means the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) is not on a preset course, and is increasingly data dependent.

Within the benchmark index, the health care and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest contributors for the period. Meanwhile, the energy and utilities sectors were the only sectors that posted negative returns—both sectors declined by double digits.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s performance was largely driven by stocks in the health care, technology and consumer staples sectors. Within health care, several companies are successfully developing and launching breakthrough treatments for chronic and life-threatening diseases. In technology, our holdings are benefiting from significant secular shifts, including mobile advertising, cloud computing and improvements in security technology. A consumer staples holding was boosted by a business partnership that increased its competitive positioning.

Conversely, stocks in the energy and industrials sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance. In energy, the sector was negatively impacted by the dramatic decline in oil prices, which was due to oversupply and soft demand. Within the industrials sector, some of our holdings were negatively impacted due to their exposure to weak foreign economies and the energy sector. We reduced the Fund’s weighting in the energy and industrials sectors during the period because we see prolonged headwinds in both areas.

From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight position in the health care sector and an underweight in the industrials sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns during the period. On the negative side, an equal weight position in the energy sector and an overweight in consumer discretionary detracted from returns.

We maintain overweight positions in the technology and health care sectors and underweight positions in industrials and consumer staples sectors.

Outlook

We maintain a positive market outlook. With the US economy steadily improving, we believe the Fed will likely begin to raise short-term interest rates in the second half of 2015. Despite rising interest rates and potentially higher volatility, we expect US economic growth and company fundamentals to drive US equities higher. We also anticipate weak to modest global growth and low inflation to persist in the second half of this year.

Risks to the equity market include sooner than expected monetary tightening, protracted geopolitical tensions, a recession in Europe and slower than expected growth in China.

Oil prices plummeted in the fourth quarter of 2014, as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) opted not to cut production to steady oil prices in response to increased supply from North American shale and other producers. In addition, China’s economic slowdown and lower consumption of raw materials has negatively impacted the prices for many other commodities.

Portfolio Review

During this period of relatively weak commodity prices, the Fund’s underperformance against the benchmark index was driven primarily by an overweight to the energy sector and stock selection in the energy and materials sectors. Relative performance against the mutual fund peers held up well.

Our positions in refiners, coatings, cement and alternative energy made the strongest contribution to performance during the reporting period. The refiners generally benefited from the drop in crude oil input costs, as those costs fell faster than finished product prices, thus widening margins. In addition, the US government has for the most part blocked the exporting of shale energy which has also helped the refiners in limiting crude costs. The coatings companies also benefited from lower input costs and continued strong demand from consumer and industrial end markets.

The primary detractor to performance was an overweight to the energy sector, in particular oil and gas exploration, energy equipment and service stocks. Lower upstream energy prices translated into lower revenues for the Exploration & Production companies (“E&P”) companies. With that pressure on revenues, the E&P companies cut back on drilling expenditures therefore negatively impacting the revenues and growth outlook for the oil service industry.

The Fund is a thematic, diversified and opportunistic strategy that combines top-down analysis of commodities and regional economies, with bottom-up analysis of natural resource-related companies. Every holding is supported by an investment theme. In response to the significant decline in energy prices in the second half of 2014, we eliminated some energy-related exposure with relatively higher balance sheet risk. Given that we expect to see range-bound commodity prices and higher market volatility for the foreseeable future, the Fund initiated a covered call writing strategy in the first quarter. We wrote several short-dated call options against long positions in a variety of sub-sectors. The covered call writing strategy is designed to capture some incremental income, enhance downside protection and in general add to overall performance. As we become more confident in the outlook for commodity prices, we will likely phase out the option strategy and not cap the potential upside to the long positions.

Outlook

We forecast oil prices to be generally range bound between $50 and $75 a barrel, with crude prices eventually normalizing to the $70 to $75 a barrel level. Given that we are currently at the low end of this predicted range, we expect some improvement in oil prices in the second half of 2015. We believe the aggressive production cutbacks that have been announced recently, particularly in North American drilling and other more global drilling projects, should help firm the supply overhang currently in the marketplace. We are also seeing signs of improved global energy demand with the lower oil prices. We maintain a modest global economic growth outlook for 2015 but are mindful that the economic tea leaves are difficult to forecast now with any precision. However, we are prepared to move aggressively to a more growth–oriented portfolio if we see some concrete signs of global economic reacceleration.

AllianzGI Global Small-Cap Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Andrew Neville, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Global Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 4.48%, outperforming the MSCI World Small-Cap Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 1.63%.

Market Environment

Global smaller companies continued to post absolute gains over the course of the reporting period. Japanese smaller companies registered the strongest gains, posting double-digit returns. Smaller companies from the US and Europe also performed positively, while smaller companies from the Asia-Pacific region suffered losses.

In the early part of the reporting period, mixed economic data and rising geopolitical risks led to profit taking. Besides tension in the Middle East, the EU and the US announced new sanctions against Russia, targeting the sectors of energy, banking and defense. In Japan, the cabinet approved Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s revamped “third arrow” of structural reforms, the centerpiece being a corporate tax rate. Later on, disappointing Chinese economic data, first air strikes in Syria, intensified sanctions on Russia and weak euro-zone economic data weighed on equity markets. Strong US economic data, the more expansionary European Central Bank (“ECB”) policy, the weakening euro, the Scottish ‘No’ vote to independence and brisk initial public offering (“IPO”) and merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity acted as a counterweight. After a turbulent October, robust US economic data, a strong start to the US earnings season and the surprising expansion of quantitative easing (“QE”) by the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) resulted in a powerful recovery. Until mid-December the sharp decline in oil prices and disappointing economic data from China and Japan caused uncertainty amongst investors about the state of the global economy. The ECB launch of its QE program, the weak euro, improving euro-zone economic data, the more dovish-than-expected Federal Reserve (“Fed”) meeting in March, the rate cut in China and the Minsk II ceasefire agreement provided tailwinds for equity markets in the first quarter of 2015. Policymakers in more than 20 countries slashed borrowing costs in an effort to spur growth and fight weak—and in some cases negative—inflation. Furthermore, despite fear of a spillover effect resulting from a Greek default and “Grexit” (Greece exiting the euro or possibly even the European Union) being much more muted than in 2011, the deteriorating Greek financial situation and questions about the future of the euro made markets nervous. Market participants were also worried about the upcoming elections in the UK; however, the pro-business conservatives finally won a further five years in power. China’s central bank cut the benchmark one-year rate and the reserve requirement ratio (“RRR”) and announced a relaxation in the requirement for China’s mutual funds to invest in Hong Kong stocks via Stock Connect. Reports on Japan’s economy were mixed. Labor conditions continued to strengthen, with job openings hitting an eight year high and unemployment falling to its lowest level since 1997. Greece became the first advanced economy to default on an International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) loan. Finally, in the US, although the Q2 economic environment showed improvement over a sluggish first quarter, signs of strength in housing construction and consumption were offset by soft productivity, employment, and manufacturing data. The path of slow growth continues.

Portfolio Review

Stock selection was a strong driver of the Fund’s relative performance. All four regional sleeve portfolios achieved an outperformance versus their regional markets. Sector-wise, selection contributed most positively within energy and health care. Sector structure was also a strong positive contributor due to the underweight positions in energy and materials and an overweight in health care.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the health care, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, while the largest underweights were in the financials sector followed by the materials and energy sectors. Geographically, the largest overweights were in China, Spain and Ireland and the largest underweights were in Canada and the UK.

The strongest stock contributors to performance were the positions in Acadia Healthcare, Marriott Vacations World (both US) and Kusuri No Aoki (Japan), with the largest detractors being positions in Sanchez Energy (US), Schoeller Bleckmann Oil Field Equipment (Austria) and Gameloft (France). Acadia Healthcare is a provider of psychiatric services for behavioral health patients, which benefits from incremental monetary provisioning for mental health patients across the US medical care landscape. Marriott Vacations World sells vacation ownership villas in the US and 10 other countries. Kusuri No Aoki is a drug store chain operator. It expanded its product line from over-the-counter and prescription drugs to items such as food and daily goods.

AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund (formerly AllianzGI Wellness Fund)

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by John Schroer, Lead Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund (the “Fund”) returned 30.53%, outperforming the World Healthcare and Consumer Blended Benchmark (the “benchmark index”), which returned 13.89%.

Market Environment

It was a good year for global health care stocks in general as the MSCI World Healthcare Index rose 17.19% versus a modest gain for the MSCI World Index of 1.4%. The health care sector outperformed some of the more economically sensitive sectors of the market, including energy and materials which were weighed down by China’s economic slowdown and the collapse in oil prices.

Portfolio Review

Overall, the Fund’s outperformance was primarily driven by stock selection in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals sectors and positive allocation effects from an overweight in the biotechnology sector. Modest negative offsets included poor stock selection in the health care and information technology sectors and an underweight in the consumer discretionary sector.

Our positions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries made the strongest contribution to performance during the period. In general the biotechnology sector benefited from the flow of positive news from established commercial drugs and drug pipelines and a very active environment for mergers & acquisitions. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) regulatory framework for reviewing new drug applications has generally been more favorable than in past years. The FDA is fostering a better effort to prioritize breakthrough drugs.

The largest detractors to performance were miscellaneous in nature, including holdings in specialty pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, health care and information technology. A relatively small holding in a small-cap biotechnology company which reported some disappointing phase 3 clinical trial results also negatively impacted performance.

Over the course of the year, the Fund significantly increased its number of positions as the health care sector broadened out and the Fund diversified into what we believe are several new promising opportunities. The Fund rotated out of some large pharmaceutical exposures and added several new smaller capitalization stocks. We also aggressively added to our managed health care positions, anticipating more benefits from the ongoing maturation of the Affordable Care Act.

Outlook

We believe that the long term investment outlook for global health care remains strong and promising. There are a number of trade trends impacting the global health care sector which we believe are favorable, including aging demographics in the United States, improved health care spending and quality of care globally, the ongoing maturation of the Affordable Care Act and the solid and exciting breakthroughs in medical science.

We are mindful that the global health care sector has enjoyed several years of relative outperformance and remain focused on avoiding potentially overvalued stocks in the sector. With that in mind, our focus continues to be on health care companies that we believe are delivering innovative and profitable drug treatments and cost effective, productivity-enhancing medical solutions. These factors are driving solid long term earnings growth and, in our opinion, still attractive overall valuations for global health care stocks.

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Income & Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.80%. For comparison purposes, the Russell 1000 Growth Index increased 10.56% and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 1.86%. The convertible universe gained 3.52%, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index, and high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Index, fell 0.55%. Lastly, the S&P 500 Index advanced 7.42%.

Market Environment

For the reporting period, several factors influenced the three asset classes included in the Fund (equities, high-yield bonds, and convertible bonds), including falling oil prices, corporate earnings, treasury rate volatility, economic data, increased market volatility and the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) outlook.

One of the most significant influential factors in the period was the drop in oil prices. In the second half of 2014, investors sold energy-related issuers with little regard to quality. Energy prices continued to have an effect on issuers in the energy sector in 2015; however, market participants did a better job of isolating the commodity price impact to those relevant issuers.

The market has enjoyed earnings expansion since the crisis of 2008, and while this pace has not been linear, it has been on an upward trajectory. This year, as anticipated, adverse weather conditions, a west coast port shutdown and a strong dollar dampened profits, but earnings growth was impressive nonetheless.

Treasury-rate volatility remained a factor over the last year. This had a greater influence on high-yield and, to a lesser degree, the convertible asset class. Earlier in the period, the decrease in treasury yields and the flight-to-quality bid did separate performance among the high-yield rating categories. By contrast, the rise in yields in 2015 had a negative impact on busted convertible securities and on the BB-rated, more narrow-spread, high-yield issuers.

Another element that influenced the markets was the ongoing trend in economic indicators. While some of the data were mixed, many were positive, including employment. These trends helped confirm prospects for continued low default rates for high-yield and convertible bonds.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) started the period just below 12 and spiked to the year’s high near 30 in October. After grinding back to 12 at the beginning of December, pockets of increased volatility followed into January concurrent with sharp declines in both crude oil and the treasury yield. The VIX proceeded lower into the end of the period before spiking once more on Greek debt concerns and a sell-off in Chinese equity markets.

Ongoing volatility reflects the changes in market dynamics. Pressure on banks and market makers, both regulatory and by their own design, to reduce inventory risk has increased the impact of buying and selling interest on pricing. For investment managers, this has added complexity to trading, resulting in more pressure on the market. However, absent a material change in the credit environment, this volatility also creates tremendous opportunity for investors.

Finally, global central banks have continued to be accommodative. Although there has been investor uncertainty around the timing of the first rate hike and the path of US monetary policy thereafter, the Fed’s message has remained consistent: changes in policy will be data-dependent and international developments will be assessed. In Europe, the ECB’s QE measures were ongoing, as were accommodative policies by other monetary leaders globally.

Portfolio Review

The Fund provided consistent income and generated a positive return over the trailing 12-month period.

In the equity sleeve, stock picking was strongest in consumer discretionary, consumer staples and energy followed by company specific outperformance in other sectors. Conversely, security selection in the information technology, industrials and materials sectors hampered performance.

In the convertibles sleeve, the Fund benefited from positive issue selection in technology and materials. An underweight in the energy and materials sectors also helped relative performance. By contrast, detractors included issue selection in the health care, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, in addition to an underweight in the transportation sector and an overweight in the technology sector.

In the high-yield sleeve, industries that contributed positively to relative performance were metals/mining excluding steel, health care and media content. On the other hand, energy diversified media and diversified financial services pressured relative performance.

Individual stock implied volatilities were generally higher than the market and moved with the overall VIX trend line over the period. Single stock option premiums were retained on many of the opened positions, while the stock market advance forced in-the-money option positions to be actively managed, allowing underlying equity positions to participate in higher prices.

AllianzGI International Managed Volatility Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Steven Tael, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI International Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”) returned -1.95%, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -4.22%.

Market Environment

During the reporting period, US equities were the beneficiaries of improving investor sentiment relative to non-US equities, as risk in Asia and Europe increased while better-than-expected domestic economic growth and strong corporate profits drove US equity prices higher. Currency effects also limited returns of non-US equities for US investors, as the US dollar appreciated against the euro and the Japanese yen.

The Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) measured approach in signaling its intent to raise short-term interest rates provided support to the US stock market, adding to the view of a strengthening US economy. Monetary stimulus from other nations’ central banks provided similar support for broader equity markets. A strengthening US economy offset concerns about the impact of a stronger dollar on the profits of US multinational companies, the ongoing Greek debt crisis and the volatility originating in China’s stock market.

Country-level performance of the benchmark index was mixed across regions during the reporting period. Japan contributed positively to benchmark index performance, driven by a weaker yen and a strategy change at the Japanese Government Pension Investment Fund to increase their equity allocation. The United Kingdom and Australia contributed negatively to benchmark index performance, as stocks in these countries have significant exposure to the poorly performing energy and materials sectors. Sector performance of the benchmark index was also mixed during the reporting period. The consumer discretionary and health care sectors contributed positively to benchmark index performance while the energy and material sectors contributed negatively to benchmark index performance.

Portfolio Review

During the reporting period, the Fund achieved its goal of delivering lower volatility compared to the benchmark index, with annualized daily volatility of about 8% compared with about 11% for the benchmark index. The goal of the Fund is to build a portfolio of stocks which have complementary risk characteristics, resulting in lower volatility than the benchmark index. The Fund’s lower volatility focus resulted in outperformance relative to the benchmark index as higher volatility stocks in energy, materials and financial sectors were among the poorly performing stocks in the benchmark index.

Consistent with its stated objectives, the Fund was overweight less volatile stocks relative to the benchmark index. The Fund’s overweight position in the traditionally conservative utilities sector contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s underweight in the higher volatility financials, energy and materials sectors also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. By contrast, the Fund’s overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from the Fund’s performance. From a country standpoint, the Fund’s overweight in Hong Kong positively contributed to Fund performance while an underweight to Switzerland negatively contributed.

AllianzGI Mid-Cap Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Steven Klopukh, CFA, Lead Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Mid-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 7.91%, underperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “benchmark Index”), which returned 9.45%.

Market Environment

US mid-cap stocks posted solid gains during the period, as improving US economic data continued to outweigh a weaker global economy and plummeting oil prices. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by employing a strict growth style discipline. The Fund invests primarily in domestic companies that are in the earlier stages of their growth trajectories, with an emphasis on above-average revenue growth and sustained earnings growth.

Portfolio Review

Stock selection within the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, stock selection in the consumer staples and financials sectors added to relative returns during the period. From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund’s underweight to energy stocks and overweight to health care stocks both added to returns. However, an underweight to the consumer staples sector and overweight to the materials sector held back relative returns.

As of June 30, 2015, the Fund was positioned with its largest overweight allocation to the health care sector, followed by a modest overweight allocation to the technology sector. The largest sector underweight was in industrials. While economic sectors have common traits, we believe company specific fundamentals are very important in general, and especially in the current environment. After a period of rising stock correlations, narrow dispersions and low volatility, these market traits appear to be dissipating. With the market focusing on the eventual start of a Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) rate hiking cycle following a period of extraordinary monetary stimulus, company fundamentals have begun to matter more to stock price performance.

Some of the powerful growth themes the Fund is capturing include cybersecurity, the technological innovation occurring within the field of health care, and the increasing use of semiconductor chips associated with the connected automobile and wearable devices. Similarly, “The Internet of Things” is a theme that refers to strong trends taking place to equip everyday devices and appliances with sensors to automatically work together.

Additionally, one of the features of the changing economic environment is a weakness in consumer spending, despite the significant boost in spending power that has come from falling gasoline prices. One plausible explanation is that consumers are skeptical of the recovery, and are in earnest trying to repair their balance sheets and cut back on spending for non-essential items. The Fund also has a meaningful exposure to companies that appeal to the cost-conscious consumer.

Ultimately, in our view, this more cautious approach to personal finance in the consumer sector will see positive results. Consumer discretionary stocks should ultimately benefit from pent up demand and more sustainable spending power as the economy strengthens.

Outlook

Despite the improving US economic environment, money and bond markets still do not appear to be priced for the start of Fed tightening. This, combined with poor bond market liquidity, could result in more volatility as we get closer to lift-off. While this may also impact equities, compared to bonds, stocks should see support from improving economic growth. Additionally, US mid caps generally have a higher exposure to the improving domestic US economy than their more globally exposed, larger cap counterparts.

As always, we continue to focus on stock selection, seeking to invest in high quality mid-cap companies with superior growth prospects that we feel are attractively valued. Our portfolio emphasizes free cash flow yield and responsible capital allocation.

AllianzGI NFJ All-Cap Value Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ All-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.20%, underperforming the Russell 3000 Value Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 3.86%.

Market Environment

The reporting period was positive for equity markets as the backdrop of record cash flows, positive earnings and low interest rates continued to support stocks. Over the trailing 12-months, growth as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index notably outperformed value as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index by over 640 basis points.

During the latter half of 2014, the stock market rebounded sharply after falling over 7% during a stretch of apprehensiveness in early October which included a global Ebola outbreak. The second half of 2014 resulted in the third consecutive double-digit calendar year gain in the market since 2012. The sustained accommodative environment facilitated more shareholder friendly activities by S&P 500 companies, which in aggregate paid an all-time high of $350.4 billion in dividends over the past calendar year according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. In March 2015, the US Dollar Index, which quantifies the value of the US dollar against a basket of major currencies, extended to heights not seen in more than a decade as developed markets currencies continued to depreciate in the face of European and Japanese QE programs. The rising currency took a toll on some company sales and profits as overseas sales looked smaller when converted into US dollars. In its attempt to maximize employment and stabilize prices, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) confirmed in June that “conditions for a rate hike have not yet been achieved,” leaving the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike uncertain. Markets were also monitoring an increasingly politicized dialogue regarding the Greek debt crisis.

Divergent market performance over the period was tied, in part, to volatility in oil prices. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) decided to maintain current production levels in the face of global oversupply and weakening crude prices. After falling 46% in 2014, crude oil climbed 12% year-to-date through June to end the quarter at $59.47/barrel West Texas Intermediate (WTI).

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance against the benchmark index was due to negative stock selection, while the relative contribution from sector allocation overall was negligible. In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the utilities, staples and financials sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. This was more than offset by the Fund’s holdings in the health care, industrials and information technology sectors. From a sector allocation perspective, underweight positions in the energy—the worst performing sector for the period—and materials sectors contributed to the Fund’s relative returns during the reporting period. Underweights in the financials and health care sectors detracted the most from results.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the information technology, industrials and telecommunication services sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the financials, utilities and consumer discretionary sectors.

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned -0.65%, underperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.13%.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance against the benchmark index was due to negative stock selection, and to a lesser extent sector allocation, during the trailing 12-month period.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the industrials, utilities and information technology sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. This was more than offset by the Fund’s holdings in the health care, consumer discretionary and energy sectors.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight to utilities–the second worse performing sector after energy–contributed to performance. An overweight to the health care sector also contributed to relative returns. An overweight to the energy sector and underweight to the consumer staples sector detracted the most from results.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the telecommunications, energy and information technology sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples, industrials and financials sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ International Value Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Krysta Hill, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ International Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned -8.30%, underperforming the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned -5.26%.

Market Environment

Over the trailing 12-month period, international equities delivered negative total returns with developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Net Index, down 4.22% and emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, down 5.12%. Markets continued to favor the growth investing style, as the MSCI ACWI ex-US Value Net Index returned -8.44% for the one year period, while the MSCI ACWI ex-US Growth Net Index declined 2.06%. By country, China, Hong Kong and Japan posted some of the strongest results, up 25%, 10% and 9%, respectively. China’s central bank made several accommodative moves over the trailing one year period; the most recent included cutting the main lending rate by 25 basis points to a record low 4.85% and reducing reserve requirements for select banks. Japan released a first quarter 2015 GDP growth rate of 2.4% annualized, and the Nikkei reached a 15-year high during the second quarter of 2015. Greece was the poorest-performing country, returning -57.57%. The markets processed an increasingly politicized dialogue regarding the Greek debt crisis. At the close of the reporting period, the crisis deteriorated further as Greece defaulted on its 1.55 billion ($1.73 billion) June 30th International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) payment and became ineligible for Emergency Liquidity Assistance (“ELA”) for the first time in over five years. There were concerns for a potential exit from the euro zone and the spread of financial contagion resulted in risk-off trading as investors abandoned equities for the relative safe haven of US and German bonds in the last trading days of June. The S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index, a barometer for global commodity markets, plummeted 33.08% during the reporting period, despite a rebound in the second quarter of 2015. The price of Brent crude (the most common reference price for global oil trading) dropped precipitously in the fourth quarter of 2014, and over the reporting period declined 43.41% to end the month of June at $63.59/barrel.

Benchmark index returns by sector over the period exhibited a high degree of dispersion with 35% separating the returns of the best and worst performing sectors. Divergent market performance over the period was tied, in part, to a sizeable drop in oil prices. The weakest sector, energy, fell 29% while the strongest sector, health care, appreciated almost 6% during the reporting period. Six of ten Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) economic sectors dipped to a loss over the trailing 12-month period, with the energy, materials and utilities sectors returning the worst performance. By contrast, the health care, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors posted the strongest results.

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance against the benchmark index was largely due to negative sector allocation, though stock selection was also a detractor over the reporting period. Country allocation was positive.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the financials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors were the largest contributors to performance. This was offset by the Fund’s holdings in the consumer staples, utilities and information technology sectors, which failed to keep pace with benchmark index shares.

From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight in energy was the primary detractor to relative results, though an underweight in the health care sector also dampened relative returns. Overweight positions in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance.

By country, overweights in China and Israel as well as an underweight in South Korea aided relative results. Conversely, an underweight in Japan and overweight in Norway detracted from performance.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the energy, financials and materials sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples, health care and industrials sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.06%, underperforming the Russell Top 200 Value Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 4.33%.

Market Environment

The reporting period was positive for equity markets as the backdrop of record cash flows, positive earnings and low interest rates continued to support stocks. Over the trailing 12-months, growth as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, notably outperformed value as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index by over 640 basis points.

During the latter half of 2014, the stock market rebounded sharply after falling over 7% during a stretch of apprehensiveness in early October which included a global Ebola outbreak. The second half of 2014 resulted in the third consecutive double-digit calendar year gain in the market since 2012. The sustained accommodative environment facilitated more shareholder friendly activities by S&P 500 companies, which in aggregate paid an all-time high of $350.4 billion in dividends over the past calendar year according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. In March 2015, the US Dollar Index, which quantifies the value of the US dollar against a basket of major currencies, extended to heights not seen in more than a decade as developed markets currencies continued to depreciate in the face of European and Japanese QE programs. The rising currency took a toll on some company sales and profits as overseas sales looked smaller when converted into US dollars. In its attempt to maximize employment and stabilize prices, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) confirmed in June that “conditions for a rate hike have not yet been achieved,” leaving the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike uncertain. Markets also were monitoring an increasingly politicized dialogue regarding the Greek debt crisis.

Divergent market performance over the period was tied, in part, to volatility in oil prices. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) decided to maintain current production levels in the face of global oversupply and weakening crude prices. After falling 46% in 2014, crude oil climbed 12% year-to-date through June to end the quarter at $59.47/barrel West Texas Intermediate (WTI).

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance against the benchmark index was due to negative sector allocation and to a lesser extent stock selection during the trailing 12-month period.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the industrials, consumer staples and health care sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. This was offset by the Fund’s holdings in the energy, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight to energy—the worst performing sector—contributed to results. An overweight position in the information technology sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns. An overweight to the materials sector and an underweight in the health care sector detracted from results.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the information technology and materials sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the consumer staples and health care sectors.

AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Kris Marca, CFA, Product Specialist Associate.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned -3.77%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 0.78%.

Market Environment

The reporting period was positive for equity markets as the backdrop of record cash flows, positive earnings, and low interest rates continued to support stocks. Over the trailing 12-months, growth as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index notably outperformed value as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index by over 1150 basis points.

During the latter half of 2014, the stock market rebounded sharply after falling over 7% during a stretch of apprehensiveness in early October which included a global Ebola outbreak. The second half of 2014 resulted in the third consecutive double-digit calendar year gain in the market since 2012. The sustained accommodative environment facilitated more shareholder friendly activities by S&P 500 companies, which in aggregate paid an all-time high of $350.4 billion in dividends over the past calendar year according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. In March 2015, the US Dollar Index, which quantifies the value of the US dollar against a basket of major currencies, extended to heights not seen in more than a decade as developed markets currencies continued to depreciate in the face of European and Japanese QE programs. The rising currency took a toll on some company sales and profits as overseas sales looked smaller when converted into US dollars. In its attempt to maximize employment and stabilize prices, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) confirmed in June that “conditions for a rate hike have not yet been achieved,” leaving the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike uncertain. Markets were also monitoring an increasingly politicized dialogue regarding the Greek debt crisis.

Divergent market performance over the period was tied, in part, to volatility in oil prices. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) decided to maintain current production levels in the face of global oversupply and weakening crude prices. After falling 46% in 2014, crude oil climbed 12% year-to-date through June to end the quarter at $59.47/barrel West Texas Intermediate (WTI).

Portfolio Review

The Fund’s relative underperformance versus the benchmark index was due to negative sector allocation which overwhelmed the Fund’s strong positive stock selection.

In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the energy, information technology and materials sectors were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. This was marginally offset by the Fund’s holdings in the industrials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors.

From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight in the utilities sector and an overweight in the consumer staples sector contributed to the Fund’s relative returns. Conversely, an overweight in the energy and materials sectors dampened relative returns.

Sector weight deviations are a result of NFJ’s bottom-up investment process. On average during the reporting period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the benchmark index were in the materials, industrials and energy sectors, whereas the largest relative underweights were in the financials, utilities and information technology sectors.

AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend Fund

For the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Kunal Ghosh, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend Fund (the “Fund”) returned 6.01%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 6.49%.

Market Environment

Overall, US stocks closed higher during the reporting period despite episodes of equity market volatility.

During the third-quarter of 2014 selling pressure was more concentrated in smaller companies as speculation around Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) commentary and geopolitical concerns prompted investors to reduce exposure to risk assets. Equities found support in August and rallied into mid-September. Healthy second-quarter earnings, elevated mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) activity and a robust initial public offering (“IPO”) market were sources of strength.

The stock market corrected in October, but the S&P 500 Index rebounded to a fresh all-time high in November. Slowing global economic momentum and benign inflation readings led to further accommodation by the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), hints of aggressive action by the President of the European Central Bank (“ECB”), Mario Draghi, and a surprise rate cut by the Peoples Bank of China (“PBoC”). These policies bolstered US equities as well as Treasuries and the US dollar. A robust final third-quarter GDP report was met with more moderate economic data and corporate profits were generally better than expected. Lastly, the price of crude oil tumbled on fears supply would continue to outstrip demand with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) deciding against production cuts.

Volatility in the energy and currency markets had an impact on day-to-day stock prices in the beginning months of 2015; however, Fed commentary and monetary policy uncertainty arguably had a greater influence on investor sentiment. Small-cap stocks closed higher in the first quarter of the year.

As the end of the reporting period neared, investors could point to a number of catalysts as cause for an equity market pullback, including higher 10-year Treasury bond yields, repetitive global macro-related headlines and indecision around the timing of the first rate hike and the path of US monetary policy; yet, the market continued to trade near all-time highs as the fundamental backdrop for stocks remained positive. First-quarter profit growth was meager, but impressive nonetheless given Wall Street estimates heading into April. Elevated share buyback activity was also supportive of higher prices, while a flood of M&A announcements helped lift investor sentiment.

Against this backdrop, the benchmark index returned 6.49% and underperformed the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 7.37%. Within the small-cap universe, growth-oriented stocks outperformed value-oriented stocks. Specific to the Russell 2000 Index, sector performance was mixed. Health care, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors were the strongest-performing sectors, followed by financials and consumer staples. By contrast, the energy, materials, industrials and utilities sectors underperformed.

Portfolio Review

The Fund combines four separately managed, unique small-cap strategies in one investment. The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark index was helped by positive stock picking, whereas asset allocation effects detracted from overall performance. Security selection in the energy, financials and materials sectors contributed positively to results, while security selection in the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors contributed negatively to results. Separately, an overweight in the health care sector and an underweight in the industrials sector helped relative performance, but was offset by an overweight in the energy sector.

AllianzGI Technology Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Huachen Chen, CFA and Walter Price, CFA, Portfolio Managers.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI Technology Fund (the “Fund”) returned 10.35%, outperforming the the S&P North American Technology Sector Index (the “benchmark Index”), which returned 10.21%.

Security stocks in general performed well during the 12-month period and were a major source of the Fund’s positive absolute and relative performance. After companies have historically underinvested in security, increasingly sophisticated security breaches continue to compromise sensitive data, proving the traditional firewall is no protection for these new threats. As a result, we are seeing a new wave of investment in security, which we believe will likely be an ongoing required investment for companies. Security providers that create more sophisticated solutions and adapt these solutions as threats evolve should be the largest long-term beneficiaries in the security industry.

Similarly, cloud computing stocks positively contributed to performance during the period, as we saw a greater number of large companies migrate to the cloud. The value proposition is very compelling to larger companies because cloud services can help companies increase productivity and implement improvements faster, which enables innovation to come sooner. In addition to these benefits, the cloud offers sizeable cost savings of roughly 50%.

Conversely, PC and hardware companies have struggled during the period and detracted from performance. Going into 2015, we expected the momentum from 2014 to carry over to this year, but this has yet to be seen. PC demand has been weighed down by weak international markets and currency headwinds, as well as slower corporate PC demand. Many companies that supply components for PC’s have reduced estimates for 2015, resulting in a sharp selloff in shares of this group. We expect lackluster growth in this space to continue as the rise in cloud computing appears to be reducing demand for hardware purchases. As a result, we reduced our exposure to PC and hardware companies, as well as semiconductor companies that supply PC and hardware components.

As a group, the performance of semiconductors has been mixed during the period. While PC and hardware suppliers have struggled, semiconductor companies within Apple’s food chain and companies that supply components for new technologies in mobile phones (transition to 3G/4G networks) have performed well.

Looking forward, we continue to believe that the technology sector can provide some of the best absolute and relative return opportunities in the equity markets—especially for bottom-up stock pickers. Presently, we are seeing a wave of innovation in the sector that we believe has the potential to produce attractive returns for companies with best-in-class solutions. We also see a number of companies whose present valuations, in our view, do not fully reflect positive company- and/or industry-specific tailwinds. We will continue to carefully balance the risks and rewards of these opportunities within the portfolio, leveraging our industry expertise, and emphasizing individual stock selection.

AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility Fund

For the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, as provided by Mark Roemer, Portfolio Manager.

 

Fund Insights

For the reporting period ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares at NAV of the AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.06%, underperforming the Russell 1000 Index (the “benchmark index”), which returned 7.37%.

Market Environment

During the reporting period, US equities were the beneficiaries of improving investor sentiment. Better than expected domestic economic growth and strong corporate profits drove US equity prices higher. The positive outlook for US equities is reflected in the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro and Japanese yen.

The Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) measured approach in signaling its intent to raise short-term interest rates provided support to the US stock market, adding to the view of a strengthening US economy. Monetary stimulus from other nations’ central banks provided similar support for broader equity markets. A strengthening US economy offset concerns about the impact of a stronger dollar on the profits of US multinational companies, the ongoing Greek debt crisis and the volatility originating in China’s stock market.

Sector performance of the benchmark index was largely positive during the reporting period. The health care and consumer discretionary sectors contributed positively to benchmark index performance while the utilities and energy sectors contributed negatively to benchmark index performance.

Portfolio Review

During the reporting period, the Fund achieved its goal of delivering lower volatility compared to the benchmark index, with annualized daily volatility of about 9%, compared with about 12% for the benchmark index. The goal of the Fund is to build a portfolio of stocks which have complementary risk characteristics, resulting in lower volatility than that shown in the benchmark index. The Fund’s lower volatility focus resulted in underperformance relative to the benchmark index as riskier sectors were among the best performing stocks in the benchmark index.

Consistent with its stated objectives, the Fund was overweight less volatile stocks relative to the benchmark index. The Fund’s overweight position in the traditionally conservative utilities and telecommunications sectors, along with real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), contributed to the Fund’s underperformance during the period as higher yielding stocks underperformed on the prospect of rising interest rates. In contrast the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and overweight in the consumer staples sectors contributed positively to Fund performance during the period.

operating expenses deducted, of funds included by Lipper in the stated category. Lipper does not take into account sales charges.

The Average Annual Total Return charts for each Fund assume the initial investment was made on the first day of the Fund’s initial fiscal year. The charts reflect any sales load that would have applied at the time of purchase or any CDSC that would have applied if a full redemption occurred on the last business day of the most recent fiscal year. Results assume that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account the effect of taxes. The benchmark index cumulative return began on the last day of the month of the respective Fund’s inception date, unless otherwise noted.

Proxy Voting

The Funds’ Investment Adviser and Sub-Advisers have adopted written proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Proxy Policy”) as required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Proxy Policy has been adopted by the Trust as the policies and procedures that the applicable Sub-Adviser will use when voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. Copies of the written Proxy Policy, the factors that the Sub-Adviser may consider in determining how to vote proxies for each Fund and information about how each Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, are provided without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-800-988-8380 (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class D, Class P, Class R6, Institutional and Administrative classes), on the Allianz Global Investors website at us.allianzgi.com, and on the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Form N-Q

The Trust files complete schedules of each Fund’s portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q for the first and third quarters of the fiscal year; such filings are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. A copy of the Trust’s Form N-Q, when available, will be provided without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-988-8380 (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R) or 1-800-498-5413 (Class D, Class P, Class R6, Institutional and Administrative classes). In addition, the Trust’s Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

The following disclosure provides important information regarding each Fund’s Shareholder Expense Example, which appears on each Fund Summary page in this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Shareholder Expense Example for a Fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

The Shareholder Expense Example is based on $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of and held for the entire period. Shareholders of the Funds incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory and administration fees;

distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. The Shareholder Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Shareholder Expense Example is based on $1,000.00 invested at the beginning and held for the entire period January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “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 Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the Fund to those of 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. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (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 may have been higher.

Expense ratios may vary from period to period because of various factors such as increases in expenses not covered by advisory and administration fees (for example, expenses of the trustees and their counsel or litigation expenses) and/or because of reductions in the administration fees resulting from the size of the fund.

Credit Ratings

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of a Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined for purposes of presentations in this report by using ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Presentations of credit ratings information in this report use ratings provided by Moody’s for this purpose, among other

reasons, because of the access to background information and other materials provided by Moody’s, as well as the Funds’ considerations of industry practice. Bonds not rated by Moody’s, or bonds that do not have a rating available from Moody’s, or bonds that had a rating withdrawn by Moody’s are designated as “NR”, “NA” and “WR”, respectively. Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change periodically, even as frequently as daily. Ratings assigned by Moody’s or another rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risk. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings, and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. In formulating investment decisions for the applicable Funds, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, the sub-adviser to the applicable Fund, develops its own analysis of the credit quality and risks associated with individual debt instruments, rather than relying exclusively on rating agencies or third-party research.

(a) Calculated on average shares outstanding during the year.
(b) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day of the period and a sale of a share on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested. Total return does not reflect sales charges and includes the effect of fee waivers and reimbursements. Total return may reflect adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.
(c) Less than $(0.01) per share.
(d) Payments from Affiliates increased net asset value and total return by less than $0.01 and 0.01%, respectively.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allianz Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. As of June 30, 2015 the Trust consisted of seventeen separate investment funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“AGIFM” or the “Investment Adviser” ) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser and the Funds’ sub-advisers are Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”) and NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”) (collectively the “Sub-Advisers”), each an affiliate of the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser and the Sub-Advisers are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (“AAM”). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Currently, the Trust may offer up to eight classes of shares to new and existing investors: A, C, D, R, P, Institutional, R6 and Administrative. As of November 1, 2009, Class B shares were no longer available for purchase, except through exchanges and dividend reinvestments.

The following Funds sold and issued shares of beneficial interest to Allianz Fund Investments, Inc. (“AFI”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, during the year ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2014:

The investment objective of AllianzGI Emerging Markets Opportunities and AllianzGI International Managed Volatility is to seek maximum long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of AllianzGI Focused Growth, AllianzGI Global Natural Resources, AllianzGI Global Small-Cap, AllianzGI Health Sciences, AllianzGI Mid-Cap, AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend, AllianzGI Technology and AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of AllianzGI NFJ All-Cap Value, AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value, AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value, AllianzGI NFJ Mid-Cap Value and AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value is to seek long-term growth of capital and income. The investment objective of AllianzGI Income & Growth is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives.

The preparation of the Funds’ financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. 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.

In June 2014, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that expands secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. ASU 2014-11 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. ASU 2014-11 became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-7, disclosures for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (“NAV”) (or its equivalent), modifying ASC 946 Financial Services Investment Companies. Under the modifications, investments in affiliated and private investment funds valued at NAV are no longer included in the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2015-7 is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Funds’ financial statements.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

(a) Valuation of Investments.  Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on

 

 

154   June 30, 2015  |   Annual Report  


 

the basis of official closing prices, last reported sales prices, or if no sales or closing prices are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV as reported on each business day. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or broker/dealer quotations, or by using the last sale or settlement price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. The market value for NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market securities may also be calculated using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price instead of the last reported sales price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial instruments in circumstances where market quotations are not readily available, and has delegated primary responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. The Trust’s Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds’ valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed by the Board. Each Sub-Adviser monitors the continued appropriateness of methods applied and identifies to the Investment Adviser circumstances and events that may require fair valuation. The Investment Adviser, in turn, determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer or other factors. If the Investment Adviser (in consultation with the Sub-Adviser) determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review and ratify the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.

Short-term debt instruments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing premium or discount based on their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.

Investments initially 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 NAV of each share class of a Fund may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed.

The prices used by the Funds to value investments may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The NAV of each share class of a Fund is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE on each day the NYSE is open for business.

The prices of certain portfolio securities or financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When fair-valuing the securities, the Funds 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 time the NAV of each share class of a Fund is calculated. With respect to certain foreign securities, the Funds may fair-value securities using modeling tools provided by third-party vendors. The Funds have retained a statistical research service to assist in determining the fair value of foreign securities. This service utilizes statistics and programs based on historical performance of markets and other economic data to assist in making fair value estimates. Fair value estimates used by the Funds for foreign securities may differ from the value realized from the sale of those securities and the difference could be material to the financial statements. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security or other assets, and fair values used to determine the NAV of each share class of a Fund may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. In addition, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets held by a Fund.

(b) Fair Value Measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

n   Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access
n   Level 2—valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs
n   Level 3—valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Advisers’ or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions and securities whose price was determined by using a single broker’s quote)

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended June 30, 2015 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

June 30, 2015

 

objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used. Investments categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities within Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock)—Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Corporate Bonds & Notes—Corporate bonds & notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds & notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Convertible Bonds—Convertible bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of convertible bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Option Contracts—Option contracts traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and FLexible EXchange (“FLEX”) options are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that incorporate various inputs such as interest rates, credit spreads, currency exchange rates and volatility measurements for in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money contracts based on a given strike price. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of OTC and FLEX option contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts—Forward foreign currency contracts are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, actual trading information and foreign currency exchange rates gathered from leading market makers and foreign currency exchange trading centers throughout the world.

Net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation are reflected on the Statements of Operations.

(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premiums is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income. Conversion premium is not amortized. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, and then are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Funds, using reasonable diligence, become aware of such dividends. Payments received from real estate investment trust securities may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital. The payment may initially be recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be reclassified as realized gains and/or return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Payments considered return of capital reduce the cost basis of the respective security. Distributions, if any, in excess of the cost basis of a security are recognized as capital gains. Dividends from underlying funds are recorded as dividend income, while capital gain distributions are recorded as net capital gain distributions received from underlying funds on the Statements of Operations. Consent fees relating to

corporate actions are recorded as miscellaneous income upon receipt. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses of the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds.

(d) Federal Income Taxes.  The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. The Funds may be subject to excise tax based on distributions to shareholders.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. In accordance with provisions set forth under U.S. GAAP, the Investment Adviser has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years. As of June 30, 2015, the Funds have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken. The Funds’ federal income tax returns for the prior three years as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends from net investment income, if any, of each Fund (except AllianzGI Income & Growth, AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value and AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value), are declared and distributed to shareholders annually. Dividends from net investment income and/or distributions from short-term capital gains for AllianzGI Income & Growth, if any, are declared and distributed monthly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, for AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value and AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value are declared and distributed quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, earned by each Fund, will be distributed annually.

 

 

164   June 30, 2015  |   Annual Report  


 

The Funds record dividends and distributions to their respective shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.

(f) Multi-Class Operations.  Each class offered by the Funds 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, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, include administration, distribution and servicing fees.

(g) Foreign Currency Translation.  The Funds’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period; and (2) purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting net foreign currency gain (loss) is included in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

The Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain (loss) for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

(h) Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds are parties to Master Repurchase Agreements (“Master Repo Agreements”) with select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.

The Funds enter into transactions, under the Master Repo Agreements, with their custodian bank or securities brokerage firms whereby they purchase securities under agreements to resell such securities at an agreed upon price and date (“repurchase agreements”). The Funds, through their custodian, take possession of

securities collateralizing the repurchase agreement. Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements, which is considered to represent fair value. Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S. government obligations and asset-backed securities, is held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the Funds until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the Funds require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults under the Master Repo Agreements and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. The gross values are included in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements at June 30, 2015.

(i) Securities Sold Short.  Certain Funds engage in short sales for investment and risk management purposes. Short sales are transactions in which a Fund sells a security or other instrument (such as an option, forward, future or other derivative contract) it does not own. When a Fund engages in a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the counterparty. The Funds 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. Until a short position is closed out, the net proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the lending broker to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, together with any additional assets the broker requires as collateral. A Fund is also required to designate, on its books or the books of its custodian, liquid assets (less any additional collateral held by the broker) to cover the short sale obligation, marked to market daily. Short sales expose the Funds to the risk that they will be required to cover the short position at a time when the security or other asset has appreciated in value, thus resulting in losses to the applicable 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. The Funds will be subject to additional risks to the extent that they engage 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.

(j) Warrants.  The 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 may be 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.

(k) Rights.  The Funds may receive rights. A right is a privilege granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe for shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued. Rights normally have a short life, usually two to four weeks, are freely transferable and entitle the holder to buy the new common stock at a lower price than the public offering price. Rights may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, rights 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 right, the right will expire worthless. Rights may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities.

(l) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions.   When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations; consequently, such fluctuations are taken into account when determining the NAV. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security is sold on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds do not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

2. 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, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, credit and leverage risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. 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. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements. Interest rate changes can be sudden and unpredictable, and the Funds may lose money as a result of movements in interest rates. The 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.

The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

To the extent the Funds directly invest in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, they will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar 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 economic growth, inflation, 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 the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Funds’ investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Funds. The local emerging market currencies in which the Funds may be invested may experience substantially greater volatility against the U.S. dollar than the major convertible currencies in developed countries.

The Funds are subject to elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the U.S., due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country or region. Such concentrations will subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions in such country or region and the possible

imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions affecting such country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) 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, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities, although under certain market conditions fixed income securities may have comparable or greater price volatility. Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by the Funds. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by the Funds will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.

The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Sub-Advisers seek to minimize the Funds’ counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have 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.

The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds’ shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, dividend and interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds’ investment returns, resulting in greater losses.

The Funds may hold defaulted securities that may involve special considerations including bankruptcy proceedings, other regulatory and legal restrictions affecting the Funds’ ability to trade, and the availability of prices from independent pricing services or dealer quotations. Defaulted securities are often illiquid and may not be actively traded.

Sale of securities in bankrupt companies at an acceptable price may be difficult and differences compared to the value of the securities used by the Funds could be material. A Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a portfolio security’s default in the payment of principal or interest. In any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a defaulted investment, a Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value substantially less than its original investment.

The considerations and factors surrounding the settlement of certain purchases and sales made on a delayed-delivery basis are governed by Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“Master Forward Agreements”) between the Funds and select counterparties. The Master Forward Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral.

The counterparty risk associated with certain contracts may be reduced by master netting arrangements to the extent that if an event of default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Funds’ overall exposure to counterparty risk with respect to transactions subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

The Funds may invest in other investment companies, including investment companies advised or sub-advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. Investing in other investment companies involves certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in such other investment companies. Each Fund’s NAV will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAVs of the other investment companies in which it invests. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with each Fund correlate to those of a particular investment company will depend upon the extent to which each Fund’s assets are allocated from time to time for investment in such investment company, which will vary. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in another investment company, it will be particularly sensitive to the risks associated with that investment company.

 

3. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives which are accounted for as “hedges”, and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds at times use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds’ Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Option Transactions.  The Funds purchase put and call options on securities and indices for hedging purposes, risk management

Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

June 30, 2015

 

purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. The risks associated with purchasing an option include the risk that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premiums and changes in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

The Funds may write (sell) put and call options on securities and indices to earn premiums, for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or otherwise as part of their investment strategies. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the option written. These liabilities, if any, are reflected as options written in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option written is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.

Futures Contracts.  The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation

margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or shifting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, these contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISER/ADMINISTRATOR/DISTRIBUTOR FEES/EXPENSES & DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Investment Advisory Fee.  AGIFM serves as investment adviser to the Funds, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. AGIFM receives a monthly fee (the “Investment Advisory Fee”) from each Fund at an annual rate based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

The Investment Adviser has retained the Sub-Advisers to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Advisers are responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. The Investment Adviser, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Adviser to the Sub-Advisers in return for their services in accordance with the portfolio management agreements. AllianzGI U.S. sub-advises the following Funds: AllianzGI Emerging Markets Opportunities, AllianzGI Focused Growth, AllianzGI Global Natural Resources, AllianzGI Global Small-Cap, AllianzGI Health Sciences, AllianzGI Income & Growth, AllianzGI International Managed Volatility, AllianzGI Mid-Cap, AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend, AllianzGI Technology and AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility. NFJ sub-advises the following Funds: AllianzGI NFJ All-Cap Value, AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value, AllianzGI NFJ International Value, AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value, AllianzGI NFJ Mid-Cap Value and AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value.

Administration Fee.  AGIFM provides administrative services to the Funds and also bears the cost of most third-party administrative services required by the Funds, and in return it receives from each share class of each Fund a monthly administration fee based on each share class’ average daily net assets (the “Administration Fee”).

The Investment Advisory Fee and Administration Fee for all classes are charged at an annual rate as indicated in the following table:

Distribution and Servicing Fees.  Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of AGIFM, serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Funds are permitted to reimburse the Distributor on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of each Fund offering Administrative Class shares, in an amount up to 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Fund shares as their funding medium. Unreimbursed costs may be carried forward for reimbursement for up to twelve months beyond the date in which they are incurred, subject

always to the limit that not more than 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Class may be expensed.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plans adopted by the A, B, C, D and R classes, the Distributor receives (i) in connection with the distribution of B, C, D and R class shares of the Trust, certain distribution fees from the Trust, and (ii) in connection with personal services rendered to A, B, C, D and R class shareholders of the Trust and the maintenance of shareholder accounts, certain servicing fees from the Trust.

The Distributor also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, B and C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Distributor received $1,686,923, representing commissions (sales charges) and CDSC from the funds.

Expenses.  The Trust is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of the Investment Adviser or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the costs of borrowing money, including interest expense and bank overdraft charges; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Investment Adviser or the Trust, and any counsel or other experts retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses, if any and (viii) 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 Amended and Restated Multi-Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The Funds may invest in other investment companies, including investment companies advised or sub-advised by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. Investing in other investment companies involves certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in such other investment companies. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the estimated annual fund operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.

Deferred Compensation.  The Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Trust or the Fund Complex.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the Trustees, which permits the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Trust, at their election, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Under the Plan, each Trustee may elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the Trust on a current basis but to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such compensation had been invested in a Fund or Funds, or in one or more series of Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust, selected by the Trustees from and after the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program is structured such that the Trust remains in substantially the same financial position whether Trustee fees are paid when earned or deferred.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses.

At June 30, 2015, capital loss carryforward amounts were:

10. FUND EVENTS

(a) Name Changes

Effective December 22, 2014, AllianzGI Wellness Fund changed its name to AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund and adopted new investment policies.

(b) New Share Classes

Effective December 22, 2014, AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund began offering Institutional Class shares.

(c) Reorganization

Prior to the opening of business on March 9, 2015, AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend (the “Survivor Fund”) acquired all assets and liabilities of AllianzGI Opportunity (the “Target Fund”). The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Adviser with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Target Fund, valued at $88,275,532 in total, for shares of the Survivor Fund as follows:

 

     Shares of Target
Fund
    Shares of Survivor
Fund
 

Class A

    1,440,531        2,177,664

Class B

    12,452          

Class C

    2,658,292        2,546,236   

Class D

    29,850        30,808   

Class R

    3,897          

Class P

    87,727        96,502

Institutional Class

    148,657        182,962   

Administrative Class

    5,234          

 

* The Target Fund’s Class A, B and R shares merged into the Survivor Fund’s Class A. The Target Fund’s Class P and Administrative Class merged into the Survivor Fund’s Class P.

 

  Annual Report   |  June 30, 2015   191


Notes to Financial Statements (cont’d)

June 30, 2015

 

The investment portfolio of the Target Fund, with a fair value of $88,248,459 and identified cost of $83,344,441 at March 6, 2015, was the principal asset acquired by the Survivor Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Survivor Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Survivor Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Survivor Fund’s net assets were $7,284,654 and net assets after the merger were $96,200,501. The Target Fund’s unrealized appreciation at acquisition date was $4,904,018.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Survivor Fund, the Survivor Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015, would have been as follows:

 

Net investment income

  $ 100,305

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments

    8,463,880 ** 

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations

  $   8,564,185   

 

* $81,126 as reported, plus $19,179 of the Target Fund premerger.
** $4,201,636 as reported, plus $4,262,244 of the Target Fund premerger.

Because both the Survivor Fund and the Target Fund continuously sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Survivor Fund’s Statement of Operations since March 9, 2015.

See Note 7 in the Notes to Financial Statements for the changes in shares outstanding for the Survivor Fund during the year ended June 30, 2015.

 

11. PAYMENTS FROM AFFILIATES

During the year ended June 30, 2015, AllianzGI U.S. reimbursed AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value $35,528 (less than $0.01 per share) for realized losses resulting from trading errors.

During the year ended June 30, 2014, AllianzGI U.S. reimbursed AllianzGI Income & Growth $118,029 (less than $0.01 per share) for realized losses resulting from a trading error.

On July 16, 2015, AllianzGI Income & Growth declared per-share net investment income dividends to shareholders, payable July 16, 2015 to shareholders of record on July 15, 2015.

 

Class A      Class C        Class D        Class R        Class P        Institutional
Class
 
$0.08750      $ 0.08062         $ 0.08744         $ 0.08296         $ 0.08995         $ 0.09098   

On July 31, 2015, the Trust entered into a credit agreement (the “Northern Trust Agreement”), among the Trust, AllianzGI Institutional Multi-Series Trust, Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust and Premier Multi-Series VIT, as borrowers (collectively, the “AGI Borrowers” and each series thereof, an “AGI Borrower Fund”), and Northern Trust Company, as lender, for a committed line of credit. The Northern Trust Agreement has a 364 day term and permits the AGI Borrowers to borrow up to $200 million in aggregate, subject to (i) a requirement that each AGI Borrower Fund’s asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness be 300% or higher, and (ii) certain other limitations and conditions. Each AGI Borrower Fund will pay interest on any amounts borrowed under the facility at the greater of (i) the federal funds overnight rate plus 1.00% or (ii) 1.50%, subject to upward adjustment when any past-due payments are outstanding. The AGI Borrowers will also pay a usage fee at an annualized rate of 0.15% on undrawn amounts, allocated pro rata among the AGI Borrower Funds on the basis of net assets. Amounts borrowed may be repaid and reborrowed on a revolving basis during the term of the facility.

On August 5, 2015, the Board approved the conversion of the Class D shares of each Fund into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Class D Conversion”). The Class D Conversion will be effected on the basis of the relative net asset values of the Class D and Class A shares involved and, following the conversion, each Fund will cease to have any Class D shares authorized or outstanding. The Class D Conversion will take place pursuant to the Fifteenth Amended and Restated Multi-Class Plan of the Trust, which was approved by the Board at its August 5 meeting, and is expected to be completed in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015.

There were no other subsequent events identified that require recognition or disclosure.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Allianz Funds Trust:

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 AllianzGI Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, AllianzGI Focused Growth Fund, AllianzGI Global Natural Resources Fund, AllianzGI Global Small-Cap Fund, AllianzGI Health Sciences Fund (formerly AllianzGI Wellness Fund), AllianzGI Income & Growth Fund, AllianzGI International Managed Volatility Fund, AllianzGI Mid-Cap Fund, AllianzGI NFJ All-Cap Value Fund, AllianzGI NFJ Dividend Value Fund, Allianz NFJ International Value Fund, AllianzGI NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, AllianzGI NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, AllianzGI NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, AllianzGI Small-Cap Blend Fund, AllianzGI Technology Fund and AllianzGI U.S. Managed Volatility Fund (constituting Allianz Funds Trust, hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) at June 30, 2015, the results of each of their operations 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 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 audits 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, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided

a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUND

On an annual basis, the Committee of the Fund will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Fund and proposed audit fees, and permitted non-audit (including audit under related) services that may be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy.

In addition to the Committee’s pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the fund with also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the fund, who will confirm, independently that the accounting firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s independence.

The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Funds (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Funds), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $500,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Funds’ independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES

With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

 

(1) The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

 

(2) Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and

 

(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

 

  e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.

 

  f) Not applicable.

 

  g) Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2014 Reporting Period was $4,916,694 and the 2015 Reporting Period was $5,711,508.

 

  h) Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence.
