Important Information about Investments

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments contain risk and may lose value. Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including market, interest-rate, issuer, credit, and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Investing in the bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates. Bonds and bond strategies with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and volatile than those with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise, and the current low interest rate environment increases this risk. Current reductions in bond counterparty capacity may contribute to decreased market liquidity and increased price volatility. Bond investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations, and economic and political risks, which may be enhanced in emerging markets. Commodities contain heightened risk including market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions, and may not be suitable for all investors. Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic, and industry conditions. Where investments involve currency exposure, changes in rates of exchange may cause the value of the investment to go up or down. The above is not intended to be a complete representation of the risks of investment. Any tax benefits referred to in any PIMCO Content are subject to change and their availability and value will depend on your individual circumstance. Such investments are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank, and are not federally insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency. There is no guarantee that any PIMCO Content discussing an investment strategy will work under all market conditions or will be appropriate for all investors and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Investors should consult their financial and/or tax advisor prior to making any investment decision. Some of the investments and services discussed in PIMCO Content may not be available in or appropriate for a retirement savings plan. Please contact your financial advisor about any investment restrictions associated with your particular plan.

Certain PIMCO Content may include statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on the PIMCO Companies’ view when made and assumptions, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.
