*This is the inception date of the oldest share
class, which for this Fund is the Institutional share class. The
returns presented are for Class A shares, which were first offered in
2/02. Returns measure performance from the inception of the oldest
share class to the present, so some returns predate the inception of
Class A. Those returns are calculated by adjusting the oldest share
class returns to reflect the A shares’ different operating expenses.
Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gains
distributions were reinvested on the payable date and does not reflect
the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund
distributions or the redemption of fund shares. All data is as of
6/30/04.
1. Risk Analysis is calculated by Morningstar.
Holdings are subject to change. Load funds typically offer different
share classes that have the same portfolio but are subject to different
fees and expenses, have different minimum investment requirements and
are entitled to different services. There is no guarantee that these
investment strategies will work under all market conditions. If this
material is used after 9/30/04, it must be accompanied by the most
recent performance supplement.

| The top-down investment process begins
with our annual Secular Forum where we develop a 3- to 5-year outlook
for the global economy and interest rates. Quarterly meetings are then
held to discuss how the outlook applies to upcoming 3- to 12- month
periods and to forecast specific influencing factors, including
interest rate volatility, yield curve movements and credit trends.
Taken together, these sessions set the basic portfolio parameters,
including duration, yield-curve positioning, sector weightings and
credit quality. Bottom-up strategies, including credit analysis,
quantitative research and individual issue selection, are then meshed
with the top-down strategies to add value. We may at times use futures
to replicate bond positions.1 This strategy can offer the opportunity
to outperform physical bond securities due to the relative pricing of
the futures contracts and PIMCO’s active management of the collateral
backing the futures. |

Value-Added Approach
PIMCO adds value through a variety of techniques in an attempt to maximize return and minimize volatility

The Lipper Average and Rankings are calculated
by Lipper, Inc. They are based on the total return performance, with
distributions reinvested and operating expenses deducted, of funds
included by Lipper in the stated category. Rankings begin with the
inception of the actual share class. Lipper does not take into account
sales charges. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not
necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns. For the 1-year
period, the Fund was ranked 122/442. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index is composed of securities from the Lehman Brothers
Government/Credit Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, and
Asset-Backed Securities Index. It is generally considered to be
representative of the domestic, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable
bond market. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged
index. The Growth of $10,000 chart is based on month-end returns and
does not take into account any sales charges, expenses or the effect of
taxes.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of
dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how
widely the returns varied over a certain period of time. The credit
quality of the investment in the portfolio does not apply to the
stability or safety of the portfolio. Duration is a measure of a
portfolio’s price sensitivity expressed in years. The Morningstar
Fixed-Income Fund Manager of the Year Award winners are chosen based
upon Morningstar's own research and in-depth evaluation by its senior
editorial staff.
This Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in
a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities, up to 20% in
foreign securities, and 10% in high-yield securities. Investing in
foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and
political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in
emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating
than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to
principal than higher rated bonds. This Fund may use derivative
instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy.
Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as
liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk,
management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position
when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in
derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those
instruments. PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford CT
