Why Invest In This Fund
Adapting quickly to new trends
This helps to increase diversification benefits, because our shorter-term trend windows are quick to respond to changes in markets.
Getting the most out of the biggest trends
We scale up positions when trends are strong, and reduce them if trends are weak. This may increase performance when trends are strong, potentially leading to higher returns.
Actively managing collateral
A core PIMCO proficiency, actively managed collateral provides an additional source of potential alpha for investors. There are no hidden fees on collateral management.
Incorporating forward-looking macro insight into research
Insights from our time-tested macroeconomic investment process are incorporated into model design, acknowledging that the future may not look like the past.
PRIMARY BENCHMARK
ICE BofA SOFR Overnight Rate Index
PRIMARY BENCHMARK DESCRIPTION
ICE BofA SOFR Overnight Rate Index tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying SOFR to a stated maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that days fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
