Fund Overview
Seeks attractive returns from high quality corporate bonds
Combining PIMCO’s forward-looking macroeconomic outlook and extensive bottom-up credit research, the fund helps investors take advantage of opportunities in higher-quality corporate bonds.
Why Invest In This Fund
Attractive total return potential
The Fund aims to provide investors with greater income potential relative to government bonds and cash, as well as more income and less volatility in returns when compared to equity.
Flexibility to enhance returns
The Fund has the ability to broadly diversify across industries, issuers and regions of the corporate bond sector and can seek to add value through investments in high quality government bonds, mortgages and foreign bonds.
Extensive credit resources and research
Employing a disciplined approach to credit research, the Fund accesses PIMCO’s team of more than 50 bottom-up credit investment professionals and utilises top-down, bottom-up and valuation screens to identify what we believe are the most attractive opportunities in global credit markets.
Investing in the bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates.
Our Expertise
Supported by PIMCO’s robust credit resources
The Fund not only accesses PIMCO’s world class team of credit investment professionals across the globe, but also a team of over 50 credit analysts, sector specialists with wide-ranging expertise who independently analyse every credit security held.
