The multi-sector fund seeks current income as a primary objective and capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund’s investment universe includes mortgage-backed securities, investment grade and high yield corporates, developed and emerging markets corporate and sovereign bonds, other income-producing securities and related derivative instruments. The fund will normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in privately issued (commonly known as "non-agency") mortgage-related securities. The Fund may normally invest up to 40% of its total assets in securities of issuers economically tied to emerging market countries. PIMCO has been actively managing income-producing securities since the firm’s founding in 1971.
