Key Benefits of the PIMCO GIS Asia Strategic Interest Bond Fund Steady and reliable income stream With exposure to a range of issuers across sectors and geographies, no single issuer has an outsized effect on the fund. Attractive total return potential with lower volatility Asia fixed income may provide attractive income and potential for capital gains with historically lower volatility compared with other high-yielding sectors. The larger outstanding amounts with higher liquidity, broader sectoral composition, and stronger investor base would warrant a dedicated allocation versus the broader emerging markets asset class.
