PIMCO GIS Emerging Local Bond Fund E Class USD Accumulation

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximise total return, consistent with prudent investment management. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments denominated in currencies of countries with emerging securities markets which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. The Fund may invest in forwards or derivatives denominated in any currency, and forwards or derivatives denominated in any currency will be included under the 80% of assets policy noted in the prior sentence so long as the underlying asset of such forwards or derivatives is a Fixed Income Instrument denominated in the currency of an emerging market country. The Fund may, but is not required to, hedge its exposure to non-U.S. currencies. Assets not invested in instruments denominated in currencies of non-U.S. countries described above may be invested in other types of Fixed Income Instruments.
