Why invest in PIMCO GIS Asia High Yield Bond Fund?

PIMCO’s advantage in investing in Asia

EXTENSIVE CREDIT RESOURCES

We have one of the largest Asia credit research platforms in the industry, with 9 credit analysts and 15 Asia-dedicated portfolio managers.
Our Asia team benefits from PIMCO’s global credit research platform, expertise and resources to unlock value. Having strong relationships with issuers and direct access to their management is key to identifying potential rating migration, reverse inquiries and default risks.

TOTAL RETURN VERSUS YIELD FOCUS

We seek maximum total return, focusing on credit securities with the best risk/ return profile over a full market cycle.
The Fund will not stretch for yield to invest in securities that we deem excessively risky.

HIGH-CONVICTION, BEST IDEAS APPROACH

Using PIMCO’s macroeconomic top-down view, combined with our bottom-up in-depth credit research, as well as valuation screens, our team of analysts identifies the most attractive opportunities.
The Fund maintains exposure to only 30-40% of the names in the index Footnote 1 , focusing on our best ideas.

Three key roles the Fund plays in a portfolio

Diversifier

Asia high yield has an estimated correlation of 0.6 with the S&P 500 Index, which can be an alternative source of market beta for equity-heavy portfolios.

Its negative correlation with U.S. government bonds can be a good diversifier for core fixed income portfolios.

Yield enhancer

As we expect global interest rates to be lower for longer, the Fund can help enhance the yield level of a portfolio.

Provider of decent risk-adjusted returns

Return is an important factor to investors. On a risk-adjusted basis, Asia high yield has historically outperformed Asia equities, global high yield and EM external debt.
