PIMCO Funds - Global Investors Series plc - Total Return Bond Fund Investor USD Income/  IE0005300136  /

The fund aims to maximise the total return on your investment through investing in a diversified portfolio of intermediate maturity investment grade securities and instruments, using prudent investment management principles. The fund aims to achieve this objective by investing at least two-thirds of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities and instruments (which are similar to loans that pay a fixed or variable rate of interest), issued by companies or governments from around the world. The fund is considered to be actively managed in reference to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index (the "Index") by virtue of the fact that the Index is used for duration measurement, calculating the global exposure of the fund using the relative VaR methodology and for performance comparison purposes. Certain of the fund's securities may be components of and may have similar weightings to the Index. However, the Index is not used to define the portfolio composition of the fund or as a performance target and the fund may be wholly invested in securities which are not constituents of the Index.
