| Investment Style |
 |
Global Bonds is a core fixed income investment style that seeks maximum current income and price appreciation, while keeping tracking error (standard deviation of excess returns) to the index moderate. PIMCO utilizes all sectors of the Global bond markets for both currency hedged and unhedged assignments. While PIMCO's fixed income strategies are implemented identically in both hedged and unhedged portfolios, currency unhedged portfolios will exhibit greater volatility due to currency fluctuations. |
