Income | PIMCO

High yields and global divergence are leading to one of the most attractive opportunity sets in global fixed income markets in recent history, in our view.

With interest rates falling, investors currently sitting in cash and seeking higher yields may now need to consider the return potential of other fixed income sectors.

PIMCO’s Income strategies tap into multiple areas of the global bond market. With the potential to generate equity-like returns with less risk, they offer investors a compelling alternative to cash, and include lower-duration options as well as regional income strategies.

Plan for Income in Any Market Environment

Be Resilient

It is important to balance higher-yielding assets and higher-quality assets, which perform differently in varying growth environments, to help weather the challenges of changing markets.

Be Flexible

Consider an income investing strategy with a global flexible approach. That way, no matter which way the markets and interest rates move, opportunities can be accessed around the world.

PIMCO Income Strategy: Uncovering Opportunities for Investors Around the Globe

Since its inception, the PIMCO Income Strategy has aimed to deliver consistent income and attractive returns by being defensive in challenging markets and opportunistic when it matters – a strategy that has helped bring the benefits of our income expertise to millions of investors worldwide.

Past performance does not predict future returns.

Capital at risk. 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. Commodities contain heightened risk, including market, political, regulatory and natural conditions, and may not be suitable for all investors. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and may reduce the returns of a portfolio. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic and industry conditions. 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. Sovereign securities are generally backed by the issuing government. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees, but are generally not backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. Portfolios that invest in such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate in value. High yield, lower-rated securities involve greater risk than higher-rated securities; portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, subject to early repayment risk, and while generally supported by a government, government-agency or private guarantor, there is no assurance that the guarantor will meet its obligations. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Swaps are a type of derivative; swaps are increasingly subject to central clearing and exchange-trading. Swaps that are not centrally cleared and exchange-traded may be less liquid than exchange-traded instruments. Inflation-linked bonds (ILBs) issued by a government are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation; ILBs decline in value when real interest rates rise. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are ILBs issued by the U.S. government. Certain U.S. government securities are backed by the full faith of the government. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees but are generally not backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. Portfolios that invest in such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate in value.
