Company's Online Profile
FUND DESCRIPTION: PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund is an exchange-traded closed-end fund or a closed-end ETF which is officially described in its prospectus as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. FUND STRATEGY: The PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently intends to gain substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the S&P 500 Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index). The Fund’s initial equity market exposure will be weighted approximately equally between the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund also will employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Fund’s gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Substantially all of the Fund’s assets ordinarily will be invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO), the Fund’s portfolio manager, actively manages the Debt Portfolio using its top down short-term (cyclical) and longer-term (secular) economic outlook in an effort to generate income and capital appreciation beyond that obtained from the Fund’s equity index exposure. The Debt Portfolio may generate income and gains sufficient to support distributions even in situations when the Fund is experiencing a decline in net asset value. FUND MANAGEMENT: Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P., serves as the Funds' investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group (NYSE:AZ). Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO), an Allianz Global Investors Fund Management affiliate, serves as the Funds' sub-adviser.
