Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Short-Term Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Short-Term Portfolio Administrative Class | | 3.40 | % | | 5.00 | % |
Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index | | 1.41 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$ 10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. Prior to 4/7/03 the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index was known as the Saloman Smith Barney 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. Whereas money market funds attempt to maintain a stable share price, the Short-Term Portfolio’s share price will fluctuate in response to market conditions. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Short-Term Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The total return performance of the Portfolio was 1.54% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 0.59% return of the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. |
• | | A duration longer than the effective benchmark was modestly positive for performance as rates fell. |
• | | Mortgages enhanced the Portfolio’s yield and credit quality. |
• | | Corporate holdings provided high relative yields and positive price performance as credit risk premiums fell. |
• | | An allocation to real return bonds was neutral as real yields fell roughly in line with those on nominal bonds. |
• | | Emerging market bonds helped returns. This asset class continued to gain amid strong demand from investors drawn to relatively high yields and improving credit quality. |
• | | Asset-backed bonds helped returns, providing attractive relative yields. |
• | | Short maturity Eurozone exposure was a slight positive as these maturities fell more than U.S. rates amid expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | Option strategies added incremental income and contributed positively to overall performance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
9
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of
10
sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to
11
the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Short-Term Portfolio | | 0.45 | % | | 0.60 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely, |
|
 |
|
Brent R. Harris Chairman |

Money Market Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Money Market Portfolio Administrative Class | | 1.06 | % | | 3.44 | % |
Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index | | 1.41 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. Prior to 4/7/03 the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index was known as the Salomon Smith Barney 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. Government Agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. If there is a material difference between the quoted total return and the quoted current yield, the yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Money Market Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 95% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of money market securities that are in the highest rating category for short-term obligations. |
• | | The total return performance of the Portfolio was 0.42% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, versus a return of 0.59% for its benchmark, the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. |
• | | Already low interest rates plunged to levels not seen in 45 years as investors had anticipated that inflation would remain tame. |
• | | The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained at about one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields. |
• | | The 3-month Treasury sector outperformed short maturity securities from other sectors. |
• | | U.S.-issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure. |
• | | The Investment Adviser used high quality U.S. agency and shorter-term, fixed and floating rate U.S. corporates to boost portfolio income, while limiting credit risk. |
• | | Seven-day and thirty-day SEC yields were 0.83% and 0.91%, respectively, at the end of the period. These yields were competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. When valuations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
8
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Money Market Portfolio | | 0.35 | % | | 0.50 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman
July 31, 2003

TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Global Bond Portfolio Adminstrative Class | | 16.89 | % | | 19.03 | % |
J.P. Morgan Global Index (Unhedged) | | 16.56 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 2/01/02, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 1/10/02, compared to the J.P. Morgan Global Index (Unhedged), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Global Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments of issuers located in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States), which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
• | | The Portfolio returned 7.32% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 7.07% return of the J.P. Morgan Global Index (Unhedged). |
• | | Above-Index duration on an ex-Japan basis was positive for performance as interest rates declined worldwide. |
• | | An underweight to intermediate U.S. bonds detracted from performance as these yields fell in response to the Fed’s commitment to fight deflation. |
• | | An overweight in short and intermediate maturity Euroland bonds was a positive as these yields fell on weak growth, falling inflation and two rate cuts by the European Central Bank. |
• | | A long position in the euro versus the U.S. dollar was very positive for returns, as the burgeoning U.S. deficit and outflow of U.S. investment weakened the dollar relative to most major currencies. |
• | | An underweight to Japanese government bonds was a strong positive. JGBs ended the second quarter with a sell-off that took 10-year yields from historic lows to multi-year highs. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Global Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on January 10, 2002.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects

of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
11
In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the class):
| | Administrative
Class
| |
Global Bond Portfolio | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Foreign Bond Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Foreign Bond Portfolio Administrative Class | | 8.37 | % | | 6.07 | % |
J.P Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) | | 7.77 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 3/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 2/16/1999, compared to the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Foreign Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries, which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
• | | The Portfolio returned 3.38% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 2.65% return of the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) for the same period. |
• | | Above-Index duration on an ex-Japan basis was positive for performance as interest rates declined worldwide. |
• | | An overweight in short and intermediate maturity Euroland bonds versus the U.S., was a positive as Euroland yields fell on weak growth, falling inflation and two rate cuts by the European Central Bank. |
• | | A long position in the euro versus the U.S. dollar was strongly positive for returns, as the burgeoning U.S. deficit and outflow of U.S. investment weakened the dollar relative to most major currencies. |
• | | An underweight to Japanese government bonds was a strong positive. JGBs ended the second quarter with a sell-off that took 10-year yields from historic lows to multi-year highs. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
12
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a
13
forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment
14
advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15% .
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Foreign Bond Portfolio | | 0.75 | % | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

High Yield Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | 5 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
High Yield Portfolio Administrative Class | | 18.57 | % | | 3.64 | % | | 3.72 | % |
Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index | | 18.47 | % | | 3.14 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 4/30/1998, compared to the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities. The investments made by the Portfolio may involve high risk and may have speculative characteristics.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The High Yield Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield securities (“junk bonds”) rated below investment grade but rated at least B by Moody’s or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned 14.86% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 14.48% of the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index. |
• | | The Portfolio’s exposure to B-rated issues contributed to performance as B-rated issues outperformed BBs by 4.16%. |
• | | An emphasis on large-cap telecom companies contributed to returns as telecom credits continued their positive momentum for the ninth consecutive month. |
• | | An underweight to the consumer cyclical sector was a notable positive, as the war in Iraq weighed heavily on the economy and consumer confidence during the first part of the period. |
• | | Security selection in the cable & pay TV sector was a strong contributor to relative performance, as lower-rated issues performed the best. |
• | | An underweight to transportation was a positive early in the year. However, as airlines began to recover from setbacks due to the war in Iraq and the outbreak of SARS, an underweight to this sector detracted from performance for the six-month period. |
• | | An underweight to the utility sector for most of the period hurt performance as the sector continued the positive trend it began in late 2002. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1998.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
11
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Loan Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. The Portfolio’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments
12
of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the Portfolio has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. The portfolio generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Portfolio purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
13
Restricted Securities. The Portfolio is permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.35%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
High Yield Portfolio | | 0.60 | % | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors.in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S.Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Total Return Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | 5 Years* | | | Since Inception* | |
Total Return Portfolio Administrative Class | | 10.30 | % | | 7.36 | % | | 7.25 | % |
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index | | 10.40 | % | | 7.55 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 1/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 12/31/1997, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Total Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class returned 4.49% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.93% for the period. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as yield curve shape changed little over the period. |
• | | Near benchmark exposure to mortgages had little impact on relative performance. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate underweight was negative as corporates outperformed, but positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues mitigated this impact. |
• | | Eurozone exposure added modestly to returns. While Europe lagged Treasuries overall, short Eurozone maturities outperformed due to expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | As the emerging market sector’s economic fundamentals continued to improve, sustaining a recovery that began late last year, emerging market bonds added to returns, especially those from Brazil. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
11
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a
12
forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Total Return Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods.
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | Since Inception** | |
Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio Administrative Class | | 42.25 | % |
J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global | | — | |
** | | Cumulative (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses.) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/1/2002, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/02, compared to the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. Investing in emerging market securities imposes even greater risks including smaller capitalization of securities markets, which can experience illiquidity, price volatility, foreign restrictions, and repatriation of investment income and capital. The high recent performance of the Portfolio is due to various factors including, but not limited to improving credit fundamentals, higher oil prices and capital flows into the asset class. This level of performance is not guaranteed and should not be expected in the future.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments of issuers that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets. |
• | | The Portfolio returned 21.95% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global return of 17.33%. |
• | | A continuation of favorable investor responses to solid economic and financial performance led to significant debt repricing among countries affected by last year’s dislocation in global credit markets. |
• | | The Portfolio benefited significantly from an overweight position in Brazil where bonds returned over 40% year-to-date in response to sound policy management and improving economic and financial fundamentals. |
• | | Similarly, an overweight position in Ecuador boosted performance as the country benefited from continued cooperation with the IMF on fiscal policy and the high level of oil prices. |
• | | Our continued avoidance of countries with weak economic fundamentals, including Argentina and Venezuela, detracted from relative performance as these countries benefited from large inflows of capital into the asset class despite their poor underlying financial and economic situations. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 2002.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency
10
exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index
11
underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.45%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.40%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the
12
Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the class):

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Real Return Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Real Return Portfolio Administrative Class | | 17.07 | % | | 12.84 | % |
Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index | | 15.39 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 10/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 9/30/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index, an unmanaged market index, formerly the Lehman Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) are guaranteed by the U.S. government (for timely payment of principal and interest), however, shares of the Portfolio are not.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Real Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or government-sponsored enterprises and corporations. |
• | | For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Administrative Class shares of the Portfolio returned 6.80%, outperforming the 6.34% return of the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index. |
• | | For the six month period, real yields decreased by 0.50%, compared to 0.37% for conventional U.S. Treasury issues of similar maturities. |
• | | Breakeven inflation, defined as the difference between a real yield on a TIPS and a nominal yield on a Treasury of the same maturity, was 1.69% at June 30, 2003 for the 10-year maturity. This compares to a breakeven yield of 1.57% on December 31, 2002. The 12-month CPI-U change for the period ending June 30, 2003, was 2.11%. |
• | | The effective duration of the Portfolio was 6.9 years on June 30, 2003, compared to a duration of 7.5 years for the benchmark. |
• | | The Portfolio’s duration was lower than the benchmark for most of the period, which was negative for performance as real yields dropped. |
• | | The Portfolio was overweight on the front end of the yield curve during the period, which benefited performance. |
• | | The Portfolio’s yield was improved by using a combination of TIPS buy-forward agreements and low duration, high quality conventional yield debt instruments. The steepness of the real yield curve made this an attractive option for the Portfolio. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
9
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell
10
when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Real Return Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses.
11
In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | 5 Years* | | | Since Inception* | |
StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio Administrative Class | | 3.22 | % | | -0.69 | % | | 2.25 | % |
S&P 500 Index | | 0.25 | % | | -1.61 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 1/01/1998, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 12/31/1997, compared to the S&P 500 Index, which is an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The StocksPLUS Growth & Income Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index delivered a total return of 11.76% in the first half of 2003, as the stock market rallied in association with fading concern about the war in Iraq and increasing investor confidence. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class posted a total return of 13.32%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by 1.56% in the first half of 2003. |
• | | A duration longer than the effective benchmark was positive for performance as short-term interest rates fell modestly due to Fed easing and continued economic uncertainty. |
• | | Mortgage-backed securities enhanced the Portfolio’s yield and credit quality, although the sector detracted from overall performance due to increased prepayment risk. |
• | | Corporate holdings provided high relative yields and generally positive price performance as credit risk premiums fell. |
• | | A small position in emerging market bonds boosted returns. This asset class continued to gain amid strong demand from investors drawn to relatively high yields and improving credit quality. |
• | | Short maturity Eurozone exposure was a slight positive for performance; yields on these maturities fell more than U.S. rates amid expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects
9
of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default
10
swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the
11
Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
The All Asset Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except the All Asset and Strategic Balanced Funds (“Underlying PIMS Funds”). The Portfolio is a “fund of funds”, which is a term used to describe mutual funds that pursue their investment objective by investing in other mutual funds. The Portfolio’s Administrative Class returned 4.64% since its inception on April 30, 2003. The Portfolio’s benchmark is the Lehman Global U.S. TIPS 1-10 Index. All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
On the following pages you will find the Portfolio’s financial statements for the period.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The All Asset Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 2003.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 7 |
advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.20%.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the All Asset Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its Advisory Fee to the extent that the Underlying PIMS Fund Expenses (the expenses associated with investing in a “fund of funds”) attributable to Advisory and Administrative Fees exceed 0.60%. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in a future period, not to exceed three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class) excluding the Underlying Funds’ expenses in which the Portfolio invests:
| | Administrative Class
| |
All Asset Portfolio | | 0.60 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
4. Risk Factors of the Portfolio
Investing in the Underlying Funds through the All Asset Portfolio involves certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in the Underlying Funds. Under certain circumstances, an Underlying Fund may pay a redemption request by the All Asset Portfolio wholly or partly by a distribution in kind of securities from its portfolio, instead of cash, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In such cases, the Portfolio may hold securities distributed by an Underlying Fund until the Adviser determines that it is appropriate to dispose of such securities.
Each of the Underlying Funds may invest in certain specified derivative securities, including: interest rate swaps; caps and floors for hedging purposes; exchange-traded options; over-the-counter options executed with primary dealers, including long calls and puts and covered calls and financial futures and options.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Foreign Bond Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Foreign Bond Portfolio Institutional Class | | 8.52 | % | | 8.03 | % |
J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) | | 7.77 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged), an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Foreign Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Instruments of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries, which may be represented by futures contracts (including related options) with respect to such securities, and options on such securities. |
• | | The Portfolio returned 3.38% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 2.65% return of the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) for the same period. |
• | | Above-Index duration on an ex-Japan basis was positive for performance as interest rates declined worldwide. |
• | | An overweight in short and intermediate maturity Euroland bonds versus the U.S., was a positive as Euroland yields fell on weak growth, falling inflation and two rate cuts by the European Central Bank. |
• | | A long position in the euro versus the U.S. dollar was strongly positive for returns, as the burgeoning U.S. deficit and outflow of U.S. investment weakened the dollar relative to most major currencies. |
• | | An underweight to Japanese government bonds was a strong positive. JGBs ended the second quarter with a sell-off that took 10-year yields from historic lows to multi-year highs. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 13 |
forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.50%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Foreign Bond Portfolio | | 0.75 | % | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

High Yield Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
High Yield Portfolio Institutional Class | | 18.94 | % | | 18.94 | % |
Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index | | 18.47 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 7/01/2002, the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception date, compared to the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities. The investments made by the High Yield Portfolio may involve high risk and may have speculative characteristics.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The High Yield Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield securities (“junk bonds”) rated below investment grade but rated at least B by Moody’s or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares returned 14.99% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 14.48% of the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index. |
• | | The Portfolio’s exposure to B-rated issues contributed to performance as B-rated issues outperformed BBs by 4.16%. |
• | | An emphasis on large-cap telecom companies contributed to returns as telecom credits continued their positive momentum for the ninth consecutive month. |
• | | An underweight to the consumer cyclical sector was a notable positive, as the war in Iraq weighed heavily on the economy and consumer confidence during the first part of the period. |
• | | Security selection in the cable & pay TV sector was a strong contributor to relative performance, as lower-rated issues performed the best. |
• | | An underweight to transportation was a positive early in the year. However, as airlines began to recover from setbacks due to the war in Iraq and the outbreak of SARS, an underweight to this sector detracted from performance for the six-month period. |
• | | An underweight to the utility sector for most of the period hurt performance as the sector continued the positive trend it began in late 2002. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The High Yield Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1998.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Loan Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. The Portfolio’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the Portfolio has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. The portfolio generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the Portfolio purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 13 |
Restricted Securities. The Portfolio is permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.35%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
High Yield Portfolio | | 0.60 | % | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Low Duration Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Low Duration Portfolio Administrative Class | | 6.09 | % | | 6.18 | % |
Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index | | 4.65 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 3/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 2/16/1999, compared to the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative class returned 2.42% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 1.31% return of the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as the shape of the yield curve changed little over the period. |
• | | Emphasis on shorter duration mortgages was positive. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate allocation was positive as corporates outperformed during the period. Positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues additionally contributed to returns as they were among the strongest performers. |
• | | Eurozone exposure added modestly to returns. While Europe lagged Treasuries overall, short Eurozone maturities outperformed due to expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | As the emerging market sector’s economic fundamentals continued to improve, sustaining a recovery that began late last year, emerging market bonds added to returns, especially those from Brazil. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Low Duration Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Low Duration Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Low Duration Portfolio Institutional Class | | 6.26 | % | | 7.35 | % |
Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index | | 4.65 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional class returned 2.49% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 1.31% return of the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as the shape of the yield curve changed little over the period. |
• | | Emphasis on shorter duration mortgages was positive. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate allocation was positive as corporates outperformed during the period. Positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues additionally contributed to returns as they were among the strongest performers. |
• | | Eurozone exposure added modestly to returns. While Europe lagged Treasuries overall, short Eurozone maturities outperformed due to expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | As the emerging market sector’s economic fundamentals continued to improve, sustaining a recovery that began late last year, emerging market bonds added to returns, especially those from Brazil. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Low Duration Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on February 16, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Low Duration Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 4/30/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class underperformed the benchmark Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, returning 6.27% versus 6.53% for the Index. |
• | | Below-Index duration was negative for performance for the first half of the year as interest rates declined. |
• | | An overweight to intermediate-term maturities helped portfolio performance as intermediate rates rallied and these securities experienced greater price appreciation than longer maturity issues. |
• | | A mortgage emphasis via agency pass-throughs and longer duration structured mortgages was a slight negative for the Portfolio’s performance. |
• | | A modest allocation to longer duration corporates was positive. These issues continued to benefit from improved credit fundamentals and increased investor demand. |
• | | An allocation to real return bonds was negative as real yields fell less than yields on nominal bonds with comparable maturities. |
• | | A focus on high-quality agency bonds enhanced returns as these securities outperformed Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Long-Term U.S. Gov’t Portfolio Institutional Class | | 18.77 | % | | 12.90 | % |
Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index | | 19.37 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class underperformed the benchmark Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, returning 6.35% versus 6.53% for the Index. |
• | | Below-Index duration was negative for performance for the first half of the year as interest rates declined. |
• | | An overweight to intermediate-term maturities helped portfolio performance as intermediate rates rallied and these securities experienced greater price appreciation than longer maturity issues. |
• | | A mortgage emphasis via agency pass-throughs and longer duration structured mortgages was a slight negative for the Portfolio’s performance. |
• | | A modest allocation to longer duration corporates was positive. These issues continued to benefit from improved credit fundamentals and increased investor demand. |
• | | An allocation to real return bonds was negative as real yields fell less than yields on nominal bonds with comparable maturities. |
• | | A focus on high-quality agency bonds enhanced returns as these securities outperformed Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on April 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Long-Term U.S. Government Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Money Market Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Money Market Portfolio Institutional Class | | 1.22 | % | | 3.30 | % |
Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index | | 1.41 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. Prior to 4/7/03 the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index was known as the Salomon Smith Barney 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. An investment in the Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. Government Agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. If there is a material difference between the quoted total return and the quoted current yield, the yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Portfolio than the total return quotation.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Money Market Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 95% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of money market securities that are in the highest rating category for short-term obligations. |
• | | The total return performance of the Portfolio was 0.50% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, versus a return of 0.59% for its benchmark, the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. |
• | | Already low interest rates plunged to levels not seen in 45 years as investors had anticipated that inflation would remain tame. |
• | | The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained at about one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields. |
• | | The 3-month Treasury sector outperformed short maturity securities from other sectors. |
• | | U.S.-issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure. |
• | | The Investment Adviser used high quality U.S. agency and shorter-term, fixed and floating rate U.S. corporates to boost portfolio income, while limiting credit risk. |
• | | Seven-day and thirty-day SEC yields were 0.83% and 0.91%, respectively, at the end of the period. These yields were competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities held by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. When valuations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
8 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Money Market Portfolio | | 0.35 | % | | 0.50 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Real Return Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Real Return Portfolio Institutional Class | | 17.24 | % | | 13.52 | % |
Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index | | 15.39 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index, an unmanaged market index, formerly the Lehman Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities. Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) are guaranteed by the U.S. government (for timely payment of principal and interest), however, the shares of the Portfolio are not.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Real Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or government-sponsored enterprises and corporations. |
• | | For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Institutional Class shares of the Portfolio returned 6.88%, outperforming the 6.34% return of the Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index. |
• | | For the six month period, real yields decreased by 0.50%, compared to 0.37% for conventional U.S. Treasury issues of similar maturities. |
• | | Breakeven inflation, defined as the difference between a real yield on a TIPS and a nominal yield on a Treasury of the same maturity, was 1.69% at June 30, 2003 for the 10-year maturity. This compares to a breakeven yield of 1.57% on December 31, 2002. The 12-month CPI-U change for the period ending June 30, 2003, was 2.11%. |
• | | The effective duration of the Portfolio was 6.9 years on June 30, 2003, compared to a duration of 7.5 years for the benchmark. |
• | | The Portfolio’s duration was lower than the benchmark for most of the period, which was negative for performance as real yields dropped. |
• | | The Portfolio was overweight on the front end of the yield curve during the period, which benefited performance. |
• | | The Portfolio’s yield was improved by using a combination of TIPS buy-forward agreements and low duration, high quality conventional yield debt instruments. The steepness of the real yield curve made this an attractive option for the Portfolio. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Real Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
Short Sales. The Portfolio has entered into short sales transactions during the fiscal year. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to deliver securities at the market price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Real Return Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Short-Term Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Short-Term Portfolio Institutional Class | | 3.55 | % | | 5.06 | % |
Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index | | 1.41 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/28/2000, compared to the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. Prior to 4/7/03 the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index was known as the Salomon Smith Barney 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. Whereas money market funds attempt to maintain a stable share price, the Short-Term Portfolio’s share price will fluctuate in response to market conditions. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Short-Term Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The total return performance of the Portfolio was 1.62% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming the 0.59% return of the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. |
• | | A duration longer than the effective benchmark was modestly positive for performance as rates fell. |
• | | Mortgages enhanced the Portfolio’s yield and credit quality. |
• | | Corporate holdings provided high relative yields and positive price performance as credit risk premiums fell. |
• | | An allocation to real return bonds was neutral as real yields fell roughly in line with those on nominal bonds. |
• | | Emerging market bonds helped returns. This asset class continued to gain amid strong demand from investors drawn to relatively high yields and improving credit quality. |
• | | Asset-backed bonds helped returns, providing attractive relative yields. |
• | | Short maturity Eurozone exposure was a slight positive as these maturities fell more than U.S. rates amid expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | Option strategies added incremental income and contributed positively to overall performance. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Short-Term Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on September 30, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.20%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Short-Term Portfolio | | 0.45 | % | | 0.60 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio Institutional Class | | 1.46 | % | | -9.07 | % |
S&P 500 Index | | 0.25 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/28/2000, compared to the S&P 500 Index, which is an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The StocksPLUS Growth & Income Portfolio seeks to exceed the total return of the S&P 500 by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index delivered a total return of 11.76% in the first half of 2003, as the stock market rallied in association with fading concern about the war in Iraq and increasing investor confidence. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class posted a total return of 13.60%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by 1.56% in the first half of 2003. |
• | | A duration longer than the effective benchmark was positive for performance as short-term interest rates fell modestly due to Fed easing and continued economic uncertainty. |
• | | Mortgage-backed securities enhanced the Portfolio’s yield and credit quality, although the sector detracted from overall performance due to increased prepayment risk. |
• | | Corporate holdings provided high relative yields and generally positive price performance as credit risk premiums fell. |
• | | A small position in emerging market bonds boosted returns. This asset class continued to gain amid strong demand from investors drawn to relatively high yields and improving credit quality. |
• | | Short maturity Eurozone exposure was a slight positive for performance; yields on these maturities fell more than U.S. rates amid expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders quarterly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross-currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate,
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.40%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.10%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Total Return Portfolio II
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Total Return Portfolio II Administrative Class | | 10.41 | % | | 8.59 | % |

* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 6/01/1999, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Administrative Class inception on 5/28/1999, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Total Return Portfolio II seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities with quality and non-U.S. issuer restrictions. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class returned 4.77% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.93% for the period. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as yield curve shape changed little over the period. |
• | | Near benchmark exposure to mortgages had little impact on relative performance. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate underweight was negative as corporates outperformed, but positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues mitigated this impact. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Institutional Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on May 28, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Total Return Portfolio II | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Total Return Portfolio II
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Total Return Portfolio II Institutional Class | | 10.64 | % | | 9.48 | % |
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index | | 10.40 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the index.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Total Return Portfolio II seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities with quality and non-U.S. issuer restrictions. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class returned 4.91% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.93% for the period. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period, and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as yield curve shape changed little over the period. |
• | | Near benchmark exposure to mortgages had little impact on relative performance. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate underweight was negative as corporates outperformed, but positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues mitigated this impact. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Total Return Portfolio II (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on May 28, 1999.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Total Return Portfolio II | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Financial assets gained during the first half of 2003 amid a revival of risk appetites as anxiety about the war in Iraq faded. Assets that generally benefit from economic growth, such as stocks, corporate bonds and emerging market debt, fared the best year-to-date as investors returned to these sectors in anticipation of a recovery in the second half of 2003. Reflationary forces that investors expected to fuel a rebound included federal tax cuts and a weak dollar, as well as low borrowing rates that eased the burden of high personal and corporate indebtedness. Low mortgage rates kept refinancings booming in the second quarter and put more money in consumers’ pockets.
U.S. Treasuries lagged their riskier counterparts but still enjoyed a modest rally. Yields fell to levels not seen in 45 years early in the second quarter before bouncing off their lows in June as hopes for recovery increased. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury closed the six-month period 0.30% lower to 3.51%, after nearing 3% earlier in the period. Buyers were encouraged that inflation would remain tame amid low capacity utilization and weak employment growth. Asian central banks bought U.S. Treasuries to limit the rise in their currencies versus the dollar in an effort to protect their export industries. In June, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 1%, its 13th easing since 2001, in an effort to boost the economy and ward off deflation. Although the cut was less than expected, the Fed suggested that rates would stay low until deflation risks abated.
On the following pages you will find specific details as to the Portfolio’s total return investment performance and a discussion of those factors that affected performance.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us, and we will continue to focus our efforts to meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,

Brent R. Harris
Chairman

Total Return Portfolio
TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE For the period ended June 30, 2003
| | 1 Year | | | Since Inception* | |
Total Return Portfolio Institutional Class | | 10.47 | % | | 9.42 | % |
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index | | 10.40 | % | | — | |
* | | Annualized (All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses) |
CUMULATIVE RETURNS THROUGH JUNE 30, 2003
$10,000 invested at inception

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The line graph above assumes the investment of $10,000 on 5/01/2000, the first full month following the Portfolio’s Institutional Class inception on 4/10/2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. These risks may be enhanced when investing in emerging market securities.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | | The Total Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class returned 4.57% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 3.93% for the period. |
• | | Portfolio duration was near the benchmark throughout the period and had little effect on relative performance. An emphasis on both short and long maturities had a minimal impact on returns as yield curve shape changed little over the period. |
• | | Near benchmark exposure to mortgages had little impact on relative performance. An overweight of lower coupon mortgages, which are less vulnerable to prepayment risk, helped returns as these issues outperformed. |
• | | A corporate underweight was negative as corporates outperformed, but positive security selection of telecom and energy pipeline issues mitigated this impact. |
• | | Eurozone exposure added modestly to returns. While Europe lagged Treasuries overall, short Eurozone maturities outperformed due to expectations of more easing by the European Central Bank. |
• | | As the emerging market sector’s economic fundamentals continued to improve, sustaining a recovery that began late last year, emerging market bonds added to returns, especially those from Brazil. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a series of the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on October 3, 1997. The Trust may offer up to two classes of shares: Institutional and Administrative. Each share class has identical voting rights (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Institutional Class of the Trust. Certain detailed financial information for the Administrative Class is provided separately and is available upon request. The Trust is designed to be used as an investment vehicle by Separate Accounts of insurance companies that fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio commenced operations on December 31, 1997.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is determined at the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, or if no sales are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a quotation reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities, including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The prices used by the Portfolio may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis. Paydowns gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are distributed to shareholders monthly. All dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Net realized capital gains earned by the Portfolio, if any, will be distributed no less frequently than once each year.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been reclassified to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holding and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of these assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not
6.30.03 | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to assets. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Financing Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into financing transactions consisting of the sale by the Portfolio of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income in the Statement of Operations. If the counterparty to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the Portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction costs. The Portfolio will designate assets determined to be liquid by PIMCO or otherwise cover its obligations under financing transactions.
Futures Contracts. The Portfolio is authorized to enter into futures contracts. The Portfolio may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio may be required to deposit with its custodian, in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker, an amount of cash or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Portfolio. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Payment received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. The Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Portfolio may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays a premium which is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Forward Currency Transactions. The Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts and forward cross currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or, if a
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | 6.30.03 |
forward currency contract is offset by entering into another forward currency contract with the same broker, upon settlement of the net gain or loss. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Portfolio could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.
Swap Agreements. The Portfolio may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The Portfolio may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of sovereign issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the sovereign issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and vendors and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Delayed Delivery Transactions. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may engage in repurchase transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.

3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory Fee. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) is a majority owned subsidiary partnership of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (formerly PIMCO Advisors L.P.) and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.25%.
Administration Fee. PIMCO serves as administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives a monthly administrative fee based on average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC (“PAD”), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and serves as the distributor of the Trust’s shares. The Trust is permitted to reimburse PAD on a quarterly basis, out of the Administrative Class assets of the Portfolio in the amount of 0.15% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, for payments made to financial intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or programs that use Portfolio shares as their funding medium. The effective rate paid to PAD during the current fiscal year is 0.15%.
Expenses. The Portfolio is responsible for the following expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the Trust’s executive officers and employees who are not officers, directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO or its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including interest expense; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of PIMCO or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) organization expenses and (viii) any expenses allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted by the Trust’s Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Act and subject to review and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average net assets per share class, as disclosed in the Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual Portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above. PIMCO has agreed to waive a portion of its administrative fees to the extent that the payment of the Portfolio’s pro rata share of Trustees’ fees causes the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the current prospectus plus 0.49 basis points as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to each class):
| | Institutional Class
| | | Administrative Class
| |
Total Return Portfolio | | 0.50 | % | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods. The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive renumeration for their services to the Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.
Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of $4,000, plus $1,500 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended in person and $250 for each meeting attended telephonically, plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each committee chair receives an additional annual retainer of $500. These expenses are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each Portfolio of the Trust according to its respective net assets.
Organization Expenses. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Portfolio and its initial registration are amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period from the Portfolio’s commencement of operations.
