Fund Description: PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index Exchange-Traded Fund, formerly PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index Fund, is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the, PIMCO ETF Trust an open-end investment management company. FUND OBJECTIVE: PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index Fund seeks to provide total return that closely corresponds, before fees and expenses, to the total return of the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year US High Yield Constrained Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year US High Yield Constrained Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt securities publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with remaining maturities of less than 5 years. Index constituents are capitalization weighted, based on their current amount outstanding, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%. As of May 31, 2011, there were 787 issues in the Index. The securities comprising the Index have a below investment grade rating (based on an average of the ratings of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch) and a country of risk exposure to investment grade countries that are members of the FXG10, Western Europe or territories of the U.S. and Western Europe. Country ratings are based on an average of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch foreign currency long term sovereign debt ratings. For each issuer, the country of risk is the principal place of business derived from management location, country of primary listing, location of sales and reporting currency. In addition, qualifying securities must have a minimum $100 million of outstanding face value and a fixed coupon schedule. Original issue zero coupon bonds, debt issued simultaneously in the Eurobond and U.S. domestic bond markets, 144A securities and pay-in-kind securities qualify for inclusion in the Index. Callable perpetual securities qualify for inclusion in the Index provided they are at least one year from the first call date. Fixed-to-floating rate securities also qualify provided they are callable within the fixed rate period and are at least one year from last call prior to the date the bond transitions from a fixed to a floating rate security. The Index is capitalization- weighted, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%, and the composition of Component Securities is updated monthly. Cash flows from bond payments that are received during the month are retained in the Index, without earning reinvestment income, until removal at the end of the month as part of the rebalancing. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in the component securities of the Index. The Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments that are not Component Securities, but is believed will help the Fund track its Index, as well as in cash and investment grade, liquid short-term instruments, forwards or derivatives, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, and shares of affiliated bond funds. Fixed Income Instruments include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Fund will closely correspond to the duration of its Index, which as of May 31, 2011 was 2.16 years. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. An indexing approach in managing the Fund’s investments is used. The Fund employs a representative sampling strategy in seeking to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, and may invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, including securities and instruments economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs). The total return sought by the Fund consists of income earned on the Fund’s investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates. FUND MANAGEMENT: Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO), serves as the investment advisor for the Fund and is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds, the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
