The PIMCO Models described in this material are available exclusively through investment professionals.
PIMCO Models are based on what Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (together with its affiliates, “PIMCO” believes to be generally accepted investment theory. PIMCO models are for illustrative purposes only and may not be suitable for all investors. PIMCO Models are not based on any particularized financial situation, or need, and are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, a forecast, research, investment advice or a recommendation for any specific PIMCO or other strategy, product or service. Individuals should consult with their own financial advisors to determine the most appropriate allocations for their financial situation, including their investment objectives, time frame, risk tolerance, savings and other investments. Volatility is historical and is likely to change over time. PIMCO has not undertaken, and will not undertake, any analysis to determine any specific models’ suitability for specific investors.
The risks of a PIMCO Model allocation will be based on the risks of the PIMCO mutual funds (each, a “Fund”) included in the PIMCO Model allocation (“Underlying Fund”). The PIMCO Model allocation is subject to the risk that the Underlying Funds and the allocation and reallocation of the PIMCO Model among the various Funds may not produce the desired result. The PIMCO Models may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on PIMCO’s decision making if PIMCO were actually managing a portfolio with assets pursuant to the PIMCO Model. The PIMCO Model allocations to Underlying Funds have changed over time and may change in the future. The selection and weighting process across Underlying Funds is informed based on return estimates driven by PIMCO’s forward looking view and risk estimates driven by PIMCO’s analytic infrastructure. Management risk is the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by PIMCO will not produce the desired results, and that certain policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to PIMCO in connection with managing the strategy.
PIMCO Model allocations are licensed or otherwise made available to investment professionals. PIMCO Models’ allocations are updated on a defined production cycle. The Underlying Funds are available by prospectus only. Implementing investment professionals may or may not implement the PIMCO Model’s allocation as provided, and actual allocations to Underlying Funds may vary. There are expenses associated with the underlying Funds in addition to any fees charged by implementing investment professionals. Additionally, the implementing investment professional may include cash allocations, which are not reflected herein
All investments contain risk and may lose value. 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. Bonds and bond strategies with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and volatile than those with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise, and low interest rate environments increase this risk. Reductions in bond counterparty capacity may contribute to decreased market liquidity and increased price volatility. Bond investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Diversification does not ensure against loss.
There is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under all market conditions or are suitable for all investors and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Investors should consult their investment professional prior to making an investment decision.
