The Fund may invest 25% or more of its
total assets in debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax (“Municipal Bonds”) that finance education,
health care, housing, transportation, utilities and other similar projects, and 25% or more of its total assets in industrial development bonds. The Fund may invest the remainder of its net assets in other types of Fixed Income
Instruments. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Fund
normally varies within (negative) 2 years to positive 4 years of the portfolio duration of the securities comprising the Bloomberg New York Municipal Bond Index, as calculated by PIMCO, which as of May 31, 2026 was 7.05 years.
Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in
interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The portfolio manager focuses on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that can
provide consistently attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices. Capital appreciation, if any, generally arises from decreases in interest rates or improving credit fundamentals for a
particular state, municipality or issuer.
The Fund invests primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 20% of its total assets
in high yield securities (“junk bonds”), as rated by Moody’s Ratings (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), or, if unrated, as
determined by PIMCO. In the event that ratings services assign different ratings to the same
security, PIMCO will use the highest rating as the credit rating for that security. The Fund is
non-diversified, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a
diversified fund.
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in
mortgage- or asset-backed securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued,
delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Fund may also
invest in securities issued by entities, such as trusts, whose underlying assets are Municipal Bonds, including, without limitation, residual interest bonds. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the
securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls). The Fund may also invest up to 10% of
its total assets in preferred securities.
It is possible to experience losses on an investment in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total
return, are listed below.
Interest Rate
Risk: the risk that fixed income securities will fluctuate in value due to changes or the anticipation of changes in interest rates; a fund with a longer average
portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio
duration. Factors such as government and
central bank policy, inflation, the economy, and the market for bonds can impact interest rates and
yields
Call Risk: the risk that an issuer may exercise its right to redeem a fixed income security earlier than expected (a
call). Issuers may call outstanding securities prior to their maturity for a number of reasons
including declining interest rates, changes in credit spreads and improvements in the
issuer’s credit quality. If an issuer calls a security that the Fund has invested in, the Fund may not recoup the full amount of its initial investment or may not realize the full anticipated earnings from the investment and may be
forced to reinvest in lower-yielding securities, securities with greater credit risks or securities with other, less favorable features
Credit Risk: the risk that the Fund could experience losses if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, the
counterparty to a derivative contract or a repurchase agreement, a borrower of portfolio securities or the issuer or guarantor of collateral, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market
participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its financial obligations
High Yield Risk: the risk that high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as
“junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of market, credit, call and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative by rating agencies with respect to the
issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and their values may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity
Market Risk: the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due
to a variety of factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries or
sectors
Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons related to the issuer, such as management
performance, changes in financial condition or credit rating, financial leverage, reputation or
reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services
Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to
sell investments at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a
certain sector. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market, reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities, credit tightening and may be magnified in changing interest rate
environments or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be
higher than normal, causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. The liquidity of the Fund’s shares may be constrained by the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings
Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, options, swaps and structured
securities) and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market,
counterparty (including credit), operational, legal and management
