Yield Information As of 3/9/2010

SEC 30-Day Yield
The 30 Day SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons among bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund's filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the fund's expenses.
NA
Estimated Yield To Maturity
The Yield to Maturity is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date. The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. PIMCO calculates a Fund's Estimated Yield to Maturity by averaging the yield to maturity of each security held in the Fund on a market weighted basis by selecting each security's yield to maturity from PIMCO's analytics database or from Bloomberg. A Fund’s estimated yield to maturity may differ from its distribution yield or SEC yield due to a number of factors, including unsettled trades and Fund expenses.
