Yield Information As of 09/03/2010

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.
 0.71%
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.

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) are afforded certain exemptions from the Investment Company Act. The exemptions allow, among other things, for individual shares to trade on the secondary market. Individual shares cannot be directly purchased from or redeemed by the fund. Purchases and redemptions directly with ETFs are only accomplished through creation unit aggregations or “baskets” of shares. An investment in an ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal.

ETFs are subject to secondary market trading risks. Shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on an exchange, however, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for such shares will develop or continue. There can be no guarantee that the Fund’s exchange listing or ability to trade its shares will continue or remain unchanged. Shares of the Fund may trade on an exchange at prices at, above or below their most recent NAV. The per share NAV of the Fund is calculated at the end of each business day, and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The trading prices of the Fund’s shares fluctuate continuously throughout the trading day based on market supply and demand, which may not correlate to NAV. The trading prices of the Fund’s shares may differ significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the Fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV.

Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates; the risk that fund shares could trade at prices other than the net asset value; and the risk that the manager's investment decisions might not produce the desired results. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax; a strategy concentrating in a single or limited number of states is subject to greater risk of adverse economic conditions and regulatory changes. 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. The credit quality of a particular security or group of securities does not ensure the stability or safety of the overall portfolio.

Buying or selling Fund shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions. Due to the costs inherent in buying or selling Fund shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment returns. Investment in Fund shares may not be advisable for investors who expect to engage in frequent trading.

A premium is the amount that the Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount or premium could be significant. The since inception premium/discount average is calculated by averaging the daily premium/discount since the inception of the fund.

This and other information are contained in the fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by contacting your PIMCO representative or by clicking HERE. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

 

In order to provide additional information regarding the intra-day value of shares of the Fund, the NYSE Arca, Inc. or a market data vendor disseminates every 15 seconds through the facilities of the Consolidated Tape Association or other widely disseminated means an updated Indicative NAV (“iNAV”) for the Fund as calculated by an information provider or market data vendor. The Fund is not involved in or responsible for any aspect of the calculation or dissemination of the iNAV and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the iNAV.

Shares of the fund are not individually redeemable and shares may only be acquired from and redeemed by the fund in Creation Units. Investors may sell or purchase individual shares in secondary market transactions that do not involve the ETF. Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Please see the prospectus for more details.

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) are afforded certain exemptions from the Investment Company Act. The exemptions allow, among other things, for individual shares to trade on the secondary market. Individual shares cannot be directly purchased from or redeemed by the fund. Purchases and redemptions directly with ETFs are only accomplished through creation unit aggregations or “baskets ” of shares. An investment in an ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Investment return, price, yield, and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Investment policies, management fees and other information can be found in the individual ETF’s prospectus.

ETFs are subject to secondary market trading risks. Shares of the Fund will be listed for trading on an exchange, however, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for such shares will develop or continue. There can be no guarantee that the Fund’s exchange listing or ability to trade its shares will continue or remain unchanged. Shares of the Fund may trade on an exchange at prices at, above or below their most recent NAV. The per share NAV of the Fund is calculated at the end of each business day, and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The trading prices of the Fund’s shares fluctuate continuously throughout the trading day based on market supply and demand, which may not correlate to NAV. The trading prices of the Fund’s shares may differ significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the Fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV.

Investing in the bond market is subject to certain risks including the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates; the risk that fund shares could trade at prices other than the net asset value; and the risk that the manager's investment decisions might not produce the desired results. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax; a strategy concentrating in a single or limited number of states is subject to greater risk of adverse economic conditions and regulatory changes. 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. The credit quality of a particular security or group of securities does not ensure the stability or safety of the overall portfolio.
