Industry description
The investment seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management.
The fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. It may invest in both investment-grade securities and high yield securities ("junk bonds") subject to a maximum of 10% of its total assets in securities rated below B by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or equivalently rated by S&P or Fitch, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality.
