Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 rated below investment grade but rated at least Caa (subject to a maximum of 5% of total assets in securities rated Caa) by Moody’s or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned 0.13% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to 1.18% for the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index. |
• | During the semi-annual period, chemical issues outperformed the high yield market by more than 3%, thus the Portfolio’s underweight to the sector hurt performance. |
• | An overweight to telecom, with an emphasis on large-cap issues, was a detriment to relative performance as this sector was one of the worst performers during the period. |
• | Although an overweight to the cable/pay TV sector was a slight detractor to performance, security selection was a strong positive and more than offset the negative impact. |
• | As the airline sector fell lower, due in part to high fuel prices and the threat of terrorism, an emphasis on higher quality secured issues boosted returns. |
• | Modest exposure to emerging market sovereign debt detracted from performance, as this asset class declined approximately 2.25% over the 6-month period. |

For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.07)% and (0.13)% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.01) and $(0.01) in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
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 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Payment In-Kind Securities. The Portfolio may invest in payment in-kind securities. Payment-in-kind securities (PIKs) give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require an adjustment in an amount equal to the accrued interest to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(360,176), and $(526,777), and net realized gain by $377,876 and $505,063 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(17,699) and $21,714 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.60 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

9. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
“market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.
Please refer to page 2 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the following Expense Example.

Expenses Paid During Period† | | | | $ | 3.24 | | | | $ | 3.27 |
†Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Administrative Class annualized expense ratio of 0.65%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
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 shares outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, returning 0.39% versus 0.15% for the Index. |
• | The Portfolio’s below-Index duration helped returns, as yields rose over the period. |
• | An emphasis on short/intermediate maturities was negative, as the yield curve flattened in anticipation of Fed tightening. However, this strategy enhanced security returns via “roll down,” or price appreciation, as bonds are revalued at lower yields over time, given the steepness of the yield curve. |
• | Substituting Real Return Bonds (TIPS-Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) for nominal Treasuries was positive as TIPS benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | A mortgage underweight was slightly negative, as mortgages outpaced comparable Treasuries; mortgage security selection was positive, however, and more than offset this impact. |
• | The Portfolio’s underweight to corporate securities was slightly positive, as this sector lagged Treasuries modestly on like-duration basis. |
• | Emerging market bonds (“EM”) detracted from performance, as leveraged tactical investors sold EM bonds as rates rose. |
• | Non-U.S. positions were slightly positive, as Eurozone issues outperformed amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |

The effect of this reclassification was to increase the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by 0.01% and the net investment income per share by $0.00. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of 0.00%, (0.01)%, 0.00%, and 0.00% and to the net investment income per share of $0.00, $0.00, $0.00, and $0.00 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $157,342 and $(31,206), and net realized gain (loss) by $(137,550) and $11,058 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(19,792) and $20,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

The Trust 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 and back overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
| | | | |
16 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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 Securities of issuers that economically are tied to countries with emerging securities markets. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned –3.05% for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2004, underperforming the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global return of –2.27% for the same period. |
• | A significant underweight to Turkey was positive for performance; the country’s bonds fell amid concerns over its growing current account deficit and sizable funding needs. |
• | An overweight to Brazil was negative for performance. Brazilian bonds underperformed early in the year amidst political noise and the exiting of leveraged tactical investors in the asset class. |
• | An overweight to Ecuador bonds hurt returns; the country lagged due in part to slow progress on the structural reform agenda. |
• | An underweight to Venezuela bonds detracted from performance as strong oil prices continued to support the country’s bonds. |
• | Modest emerging market currency exposure was positive for performance due in part to strong appreciation of the South African Rand. |
• | The use of “structural alpha” strategies such as selling short-maturity credit default protection added to returns. |

(c) | If the investment manager had not reimbursed expenses, the ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 1.11%. |
(d) | Indicates a period in which, as a result of a change in generally accepted accounting principles, the portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under certain derivative instruments, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. The effect of this reclassification was to (reduce) the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by (0.09)% and the net investment income per share by $(0.01). For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.13)% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.02) in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers one class of shares: Administrative. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Administrative Class of the Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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 designate 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

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $(49,821) and $(55,321), and net realized gain by $38,955 and $25,829 and net change in unrealized appreciation by $10,865 and $29,492 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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):
| | | |
Administrative Class | | 1.00 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | |
| |

Amount Available for Reimbursement | | $ | 4 | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Portfolio carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Real Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net 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 6 months ended June 30, 2004, the Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned 2.29%, versus 1.88% for the benchmark Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index. |
• | For the 6 months, real yields in the U.S. increased by 0.10%, compared to a 0.39% rise for conventional U.S. Treasury issues of similar maturity. |
• | 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 2.59% on June 30, 2004 for the 10-year maturity. This compares to a breakeven yield of 2.31% on December 31, 2003. The 12-month CPI-U change for the period ended June 30, 2004, was 3.22%. |
• | The effective duration of the Portfolio was 6.82 years on June 30, 2004, compared to a duration of 7.51 years for the benchmark; this strategy was positive for performance as real yields rose. |
• | The Portfolio reduced overall account duration through short positions in nominal treasuries, treasury futures, and swaps, which was positive for performance as nominal yields rose. |
• | The Portfolio was overweight shorter maturity TIPS. This was positive for performance compared to the benchmark as the real yield curve steepened. |
• | 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. |
• | Option writing added income to the Portfolio as rates stayed within our forecasted range. |
• | An allocation to emerging market bonds was negative overall for returns, as spreads widened throughout the period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. There were no reclassifications to any period presented as a result of this change. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period
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. 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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.60 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned 0.39% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, outperforming the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index return of –0.08% for the same period. |
• | The Portfolio’s duration was positioned below the benchmark during the period. This hurt returns in the first quarter when rates fell and helped later in the period when market sold off, resulting in an overall neutral effect on performance. |
• | The Portfolio’s broader-than-Index maturity distribution had a positive impact on returns, as maturities within the Index fared the worst during the period. |
• | An emphasis on mortgage-backed securities was positive for performance, as this sector outperformed Treasuries during the period. Positive security selection within the sector further enhanced returns. |
• | The Portfolio’s limited holdings of corporate bonds did not have a significant effect on performance. |
• | A small allocation to emerging market bonds detracted from returns. Leveraged tactical investors sold emerging market bonds as interest rates rose, which negatively impacted this asset class. |
• | Exposure to developed non-U.S. markets, primarily short maturity Eurozone holdings, had a strong positive effect on performance. Eurozone issues benefited from expectations for lower growth and inflation in Europe. |

The effect of this reclassification was to (reduce) the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by 0.00% and the net investment income per share by $0.00. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of 0.00%, (0.01)%, 0.01% and 0.00% and to the net investment income per share of $0.00, $0.00, $0.00, and $0.00 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30,2004 (Unaudited)
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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,
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(415) and $(314), and net realized gain by $348 and $50 and net change in unrealized appreciation by $68 and $264 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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;
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
(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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50% |
Administrative Class | | 0.65% |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money. |
Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. |
• | The Portfolio’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, posted a total return of 3.44% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. U.S. equity market sentiment was generally bullish based on strong analyst forecasts for second quarter earnings, although concerns about potentially destabilizing influences including terrorism, the situation in Iraq, inflation management, and the upcoming election loomed. |
• | In comparison, the Portfolio’s Administrative Class underperformed the S&P 500 Index by returning 2.93% for the same period. |
• | Interest rates rose during the first half of the year, resulting in negative fixed-income returns. While the structural yield advantage provided by non-money market holdings boosted returns, the yield contribution was eclipsed by the sharp rise in rates. |
• | Non-U.S. positions provided important diversification; short and intermediate maturity Eurozone issues outperformed U.S. alternatives amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |
• | Exposure to real return bonds was positive for the first half of the year in general, as these securities benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | Curve strategies detracted from performance, as the Portfolio emphasized one to five year maturities relative to five year and longer maturity instruments. Rates on one to five year yields increased more than yields of five years or longer. |
• | Mortgage exposure provided diversification and incremental yield relative to money markets as the sector benefited from spread narrowings. |
• | Other strategies, including small positions in emerging market bonds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds, were neutral for performance while adding important diversification. |

The effect of this reclassification was to (reduce) the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by (0.11)% and the net investment income per share by $(0.01). For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases(reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.65)%, 0.44%, 0.42% and 0.44% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.05), $0.04, $0.04 and $0.06 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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
| | | | |
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $(286,748) and $(1,563,813), and net realized gain by $392,411 and $1,004,989 and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $(105,663) and $558,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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,
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
including interest expense and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year of Waiver
|
| | | 12/31/2001 | | | 12/31/2002 | | | 12/31/2003 | | | 06/30/2004 |
Amount Available for Reimbursement | | $ | 0 | | $ | 28 | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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’s Administrative Class was 0.32% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, versus a return of 0.47% for the benchmark Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index during the same period. |
• | Interest rate strategies including a duration longer than the effective benchmark and yield curve positioning that was broader than benchmark were negative for returns as rates increased during the period. |
• | An emphasis on mortgage securities boosted returns. Heavy demand by banks during the first quarter 2004 and a decline in volatility late in the second quarter supported mortgage performance. |
• | An emphasis on corporate securities was slightly positive. During the first quarter, their yield advantage offset concerns about slower growth and profits, but during the second quarter returns were slightly negative as rates increased. |
• | Emerging market (“EM”) bonds detracted from performance during the period. Heightened new issuance weighed on the sector and leveraged tactical investors sold EM bonds as rates rose. |
• | Short maturity Eurozone issues added value amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |

(f) | Indicates a period in which, as a result of a change in generally accepted accounting principles, the portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under certain derivative instruments which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. The effect of this reclassification was to (reduce) the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by (0.03)% and the net investment income per share by $0.00. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases(reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.10)%, 0.00% and (0.03)% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.01), $0.00 and $0.00 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Short Sales. The Portfolio may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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.
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.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Portfolio may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBS). SMBS represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated payments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(6,562) and $(14,282), and net realized gain by $7,256 and $8,419 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(695) and $5,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money. |
Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Global Bond Portfolio (Unhedged) 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. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned –1.07% for the six-months ended June 30, 2004, outperforming the -1.50% return of the J.P. Morgan Global Index (Unhedged) for the same period. |
• | An underweight to U.S. duration was positive for performance as yields rose given stronger growth and fears of aggressive Fed tightening. |
• | An overweight to Euroland duration relative to benchmark was a positive for relative performance; these yields rose less as Euroland lagged global growth. |
• | An underweight to Japanese government bonds (“JGB”) relative to benchmark was positive for returns. JGB yields rose on strong growth and speculation that the Bank of Japan’s highly accommodative monetary policy stance would soon shift. |
• | Currency strategies detracted from performance. The yen and Canadian dollar retreated as rising U.S. rates forced market participants to unwind leveraged strategies. |
• | Real return bonds added to returns, outperforming more volatile Treasuries of similar duration, as rates rose. |
• | Modest holdings of mortgage securities helped returns, as heavy demand from banks supported the mortgage market. |
• | Tactical strategies to exploit wider swap spreads in the U.S. and Europe were positive, as swap spreads widened given the rapid rise in yields. |

(c) | Ratio of expenses to average net assets excluding interest expense is 0.90%. |
(d) | Indicates a period in which, as a result of a change in generally accepted accounting principles, the portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under certain derivative instruments, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. The effect of this reclassification was to increase the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by 0.12% and the net investment income per share by $0.02. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increase to the net investment income ratio of 0.10% and 0.07% and to the net investment income per share of $0.01 and $0.01 in the fiscal year or period ending December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Global Bond Portfolio (Unhedged) (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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Portfolio may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBS). SMBS represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated payments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $38,636, and $22,215, and net realized (loss) by $(47,583) and $(8,749) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $8947 and $(13,466) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

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 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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):

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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing”
| | | | |
16 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
The All Asset Portfolio invest in a portfolio of mutual funds. The cost of investing in the Portfolio will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are estimated at 0.60%.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The All Asset Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS”), except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund. |
• | The Portfolio may invest in any PIMCO mutual fund except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund; however, PIMCO has identified 14 core funds on which the All Asset Portfolio will focus. |
• | For the 6 months ended June 30, 2004, the Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares were up 1.77%, versus the 2.05% return of the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index and the 2.09% return of the average performance of the benchmarks for the core funds. |
• | The equally weighted average of the core funds returned 2.27% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. |
• | The average performance of the core funds outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks by 0.19%. This outperformance is a measure of the value added by PIMCO portfolio managers. |
• | The PVIT All Asset Portfolio underperformed the average performance of the core funds by 0.50%. |
• | While the Portfolio’s overweight to real return strategies versus other Underlying PIMS Funds contributed to performance, the Portfolio’s exposure to other strategies contributed to underperformance versus the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index. |
• | The Lehman US TIPS, DJAIG Commodity, and Wilshire REIT indices outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks. |
• | An overweight to TIPS strategies in the beginning of the period while scaling down exposure throughout the period was positive as yields gradually rose. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Administrative, Advisor and Class M. 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. Investments in Funds within the PIMS Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the underlying PIMS Funds.
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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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.
Underlying PIMS Funds. The Underlying PIMS Funds are the Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds. Though it is anticipated that the All Asset Portfolio will not currently invest in the European StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Far East (ex-Japan) StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Japanese StocksPLUS TR Strategy, StocksPLUS Municipal-Backed and StocksPLUS TR Short Strategy Funds, the Portfolio may invest in these Funds in the future, without shareholder approval, at the discretion of the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser.
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. 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 0.20%.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the All Asset Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its Advisory Fee to the extent that the Underlying Fund Expenses attributable to Advisory and Administrative Fees exceed 0.60%. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, is an indirect wholly-owned
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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):
| | | |
Administrative Class | | 0.60 | % |
Advisor Class | | 0.70 | % |
Class M | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | |
| | | 12/31/2003 | | 06/30/2004 |
Amount Available for Reimbursement | | $ | 53 | | 0 |
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 PIMS 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 PIMS Funds. Under certain circumstances, an Underlying PIMS Funds 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 PIMS Funds until the Adviser determines that it is appropriate to dispose of such securities.
Each of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in certain specified derivative securities, including: interest rate swaps; commodity swaps; credit default swaps; currency swaps; total return swaps; Forward Foreign Currency Contracts; 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. Certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in restricted securities, instruments issued by trusts, partnerships or other issuers, including pass-through certificated representing participation in, or debt instruments backed by, the securities owned by such issuers. There Underlying PIMS Funds also may engage in securities lending, reverse repurchase agreements and dollar roll transactions. In addition, certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in below-investment grade debt, debt obligations of foreign issuers and stocks of foreign corporations, securities in foreign investment funds or trusts, foreign derivatives securities including future contracts, options, interest rate and currency swap transactions, and various other investment vehicles, each with inherent risks.
The officers and trustees of the Trust also serve as officers and trustees of the Underlying PIMS Funds. Conflicts may arise as these companies seek to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities to both the Portfolio and the Underlying PIMS Funds.
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities for federal income tax purposes is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

$ 341 | | $ | (76) | | $ | 265 |

6. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 shares matched its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2004, by returning -0.17%. |
• | Below-Index duration enhanced performance for the first half of the year as interest rates rose; however, an overweight to intermediate maturities negatively impacted the Portfolio, as these rates experienced the most dramatic rate increases. |
• | Modest holdings of longer duration structured mortgages detracted slightly from performance despite decreasing levels of volatility. |
• | An allocation to longer duration corporate securities negatively impacted portfolio performance, as long maturity credit issues lagged Treasuries of similar maturities. |
• | Allocations to real return and municipal bonds helped returns; these less volatile assets outperformed amid rising rates. |
• | A focus on high-quality, intermediate, and long maturity agency bonds was unfavorable for portfolio returns, as the sector’s yield premiums widened relative to Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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 designate 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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.
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 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 the notional amount of principal.
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. There were no reclassification to any period as a result of this change. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Securities of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares returned 0.85% for the six-months ended June 30, 2004, outperforming the 0.59% return of the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) for the same period. |
• | An underweight to U.S. duration was positive for performance as yields rose given stronger growth and fears of aggressive Fed tightening. |
• | An overweight to Euroland duration relative to benchmark was a positive for relative performance; these yields rose less as Euroland lagged global growth. |
• | An overweight to Brazil was negative for performance. Brazilian bonds underperformed early in the year amidst political noise and the exiting of leveraged tactical investors in the asset class. |
• | Currency strategies detracted from performance. The yen and Canadian dollar retreated as rising U.S. rates forced market participants to unwind leveraged strategies. |
• | Real return bonds added to returns, outperforming more volatile Treasuries of similar duration, as rates rose. |
• | Modest holdings of mortgage securities helped returns, as heavy demand from banks supported the mortgage market. |
• | Tactical strategies to exploit wider swap spreads in the U.S. and Europe were positive, as swap spreads widened given the rapid rise in yields. |

The effect of this reclassification was to increase the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by 0.14% and the net investment income per share by $0.01. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases to the net investment income ratio of 0.10%, 0.10%, 0.26% and 0.03% and to the net investment income per share of $0.01, $0.01, $0.02, and $0.00 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $46,353 and $26,213, and net realized (loss) by $(52,329) and $(14,876) and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $5,976 and $(11,338) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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%.
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.90 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated
| | | | |
16 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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’s Administrative Class shares was 0.28% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, versus a return of 0.47% for the benchmark Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index during the same period. |
• | Interest rates increased for shorter maturities, as markets anticipated the beginning of a tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve. The Fed met market expectations with a 0.25% rate hike at the end of June. |
• | The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained near one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields. |
• | U.S. issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure. |
• | The Portfolio invested in high quality U.S. agency paper and short-term fixed and floating rate U.S. corporates in an attempt to boost portfolio income, while limiting credit risk. |
• | Seven-day and thirty-day effective yields were 0.69% and 0.65%, respectively, at June 30, 2004. These yields are competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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.
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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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. 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%.
Servicing Fee. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organizational expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.35% | |
Administrative Class | | 0.50 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Federal Income Tax Matters
At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities for federal income tax purposes is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 0 | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

6. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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, U.S. issuer, and U.S. dollar-denominated security restrictions. |
• | The Portfolio’s Administrative Class shares outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, returning 0.36% versus 0.15% for the Index. |
• | The Portfolio’s below-Index duration helped returns, as yields rose over the period. |
• | An emphasis on short/intermediate maturities was negative, as the yield curve flattened in anticipation of Fed tightening. However, this strategy enhanced security returns via “roll down,” or price appreciation, as bonds are revalued at lower yields over time, given the steepness of the yield curve. |
• | Substituting Real Return Bonds (TIPS-Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) for nominal Treasuries was positive as TIPS benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | A mortgage underweight was slightly negative, as mortgages outpaced comparable Treasuries; mortgage security selection was positive, however, and more than offset this impact. |
• | The Portfolio’s underweight to corporate securities was slightly positive, as this sector lagged Treasuries modestly on like-duration basis. |

For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of 0.00%, (0.02)%, (0.01)% and (0.20)% and to the net investment income per share of $0.00, $0.00, $0.00 and $(0.02) in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $13,839 and $(463), and net realized gain(loss) by $(14,308) and $581 and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $469 and $(118) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
The All Asset Portfolio invest in a portfolio of mutual funds. The cost of investing in the Portfolio will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| | * Cumulative. All Portfolio returns are net of fees and expenses. | | | |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.
Please refer to page 2 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the following Expense Example.
| | | | | | | | | | |
EXPENSE EXAMPLE | | | | Actual Performance | | | | Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses) |
Beginning Account Value (04/30/04) | | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | | $ | 1,000.00 |
Ending Account Value (06/30/04) | | | | $ | 1,031.60 | | | | $ | 1,025.00 |
Expenses Paid During Period† | | | | $ | 1.51 | | | | $ | 1.50 |
†Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Class M annualized expense ratio of 0.89%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 61/366 (to reflect the period since the Portfolio commenced operation on 04/30/04). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the underlying PIMCO Funds, which based upon the allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the underlying Funds are indirectly borne by the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are estimated at 0.60%.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The All Asset Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS”), except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund. |
• | The Portfolio may invest in any PIMCO mutual fund except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund; however, PIMCO has identified 14 core funds on which the All Asset Portfolio will focus. |
• | For the period from its inception on April 30, 2004 through June 30, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class M shares returned 3.16%, versus the 1.16% return of the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index and the 2.09% return of the average performance of the benchmarks for the core funds for the same period. |
• | The equally weighted average of the core funds returned 2.27% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. |
• | The average performance of the core funds outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks by 0.19%. This outperformance is a measure of the value added by PIMCO portfolio managers. |
• | The PVIT All Asset Portfolio underperformed the average performance of the core funds by 0.50%. |
• | The Portfolio’s overweight to real return strategies versus other Underlying PIMS Funds contributed to performance during the period since the Class M inception on April 30, 2004 through June 30, 2004; in addition, the Portfolio’s exposure to other strategies contributed to outperformance versus the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index during the two-month period. |
• | The Lehman US TIPS, DJAIG Commodity, and Wilshire REIT indices outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks. |
• | An overweight to TIPS strategies in the beginning of the period while scaling down exposure throughout the period was positive as yields gradually rose. |

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 Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Administrative, Advisor and Class M. 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 Class M 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. Investments in Funds within the PIMS Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the underlying PIMS Funds.
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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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.
Underlying PIMS Funds. The Underlying PIMS Funds are the Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds. Though it is anticipated that the All Asset Portfolio will not currently invest in the European StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Far East (ex-Japan) StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Japanese StocksPLUS TR Strategy, StocksPLUS Municipal-Backed and StocksPLUS TR Short Strategy Funds, the Portfolio may invest in these Funds in the future, without shareholder approval, at the discretion of the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser.
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. 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 0.20%.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the All Asset Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its Advisory Fee to the extent that the Underlying Fund Expenses attributable to Advisory and Administrative Fees exceed 0.60%. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, is an indirect wholly-owned

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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):
| | | |
Administrative Class | | 0.60 | % |
Advisor Class | | 0.70 | % |
Class M | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | |
| | | 12/31/2003 | | 06/30/2004 |
Amount Available for Reimbursement | | $ | 53 | | 0 |
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 PIMS 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 PIMS Funds. Under certain circumstances, an Underlying PIMS Funds 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 PIMS Funds until the Adviser determines that it is appropriate to dispose of such securities.
Each of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in certain specified derivative securities, including: interest rate swaps; commodity swaps; credit default swaps; currency swaps; total return swaps; Forward Foreign Currency Contracts; 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. Certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in restricted securities, instruments issued by trusts, partnerships or other issuers, including pass-through certificated representing participation in, or debt instruments backed by, the securities owned by such issuers. There Underlying PIMS Funds also may engage in securities lending, reverse repurchase agreements and dollar roll transactions. In addition, certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in below-investment grade debt, debt obligations of foreign issuers and stocks of foreign corporations, securities in foreign investment funds or trusts, foreign derivatives securities including future contracts, options, interest rate and currency swap transactions, and various other investment vehicles, each with inherent risks.
The officers and trustees of the Trust also serve as officers and trustees of the Underlying PIMS Funds. Conflicts may arise as these companies seek to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities to both the Portfolio and the Underlying PIMS Funds.
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities for federal income tax purposes is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 341 | | $ | (76) | | $ | 265 |
| | | | |

6. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |
$ 0 | | $ 0 | | $ 22,400 | | $ 1,626 |
7. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a $.001 par value. Changes in shares of beneficial interest were as follows (shares and amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
The All Asset Portfolio invest in a portfolio of mutual funds. The cost of investing in the Portfolio will generally be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

†Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Advisor Class annualized expense ratio of 0.68%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 61/366 (to reflect the period since the Portfolio commenced operation on 04/30/04). The expense ratio excludes the expenses of the underlying PIMCO Funds, which based upon the allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the underlying Funds are indirectly borne by the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Underlying Fund Expenses for the Portfolio are estimated at 0.60%.
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The All Asset Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS”), except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund. |
• | The Portfolio may invest in any PIMCO mutual fund except the All Asset Fund and the All Asset All Authority Fund; however, PIMCO has identified 14 core funds on which the All Asset Portfolio will focus. |
• | For the period from its inception on April 30, 2004 through June 30, 2004, the Portfolio’s Advisor Class shares returned 3.32%, versus the 1.16% return of the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index and the 2.09% return of the average performance of the benchmarks for the core funds for the same period. |
• | The equally weighted average of the core funds returned 2.27% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. |
• | The average performance of the core funds outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks by 0.19%. This outperformance is a measure of the value added by PIMCO portfolio managers. |
• | The PVIT All Asset Portfolio underperformed the average performance of the core funds by 0.50%. |
• | The Portfolio’s overweight to real return strategies versus other Underlying PIMS Funds contributed to performance during the period since the Advisor Class inception on April 30, 2004 through June 30, 2004; in addition, the Portfolio’s exposure to other strategies contributed to outperformance versus the Lehman Global Real: U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index during the two-month period. |
• | The Lehman US TIPS, DJAIG Commodity, and Wilshire REIT indices outperformed the average performance of the 14 benchmarks. |
• | An overweight to TIPS strategies in the beginning of the period while scaling down exposure throughout the period was positive as yields gradually rose. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers three classes of shares: Administrative, Advisor and Class M. 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 Advisor 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. Investments in Funds within the PIMS Funds are valued at their net asset value as reported by the underlying PIMS Funds.
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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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.
Underlying PIMS Funds. The Underlying PIMS Funds are the Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series, an affiliated open-end investment company, except All Asset and All Asset All Authority Funds. Though it is anticipated that the All Asset Portfolio will not currently invest in the European StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Far East (ex-Japan) StocksPLUS Total Return Strategy, Japanese StocksPLUS TR Strategy, StocksPLUS Municipal-Backed and StocksPLUS TR Short Strategy Funds, the Portfolio may invest in these Funds in the future, without shareholder approval, at the discretion of the Portfolio’s asset allocation sub-adviser.
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. 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 0.20%.
PIMCO has contractually agreed, for the All Asset Portfolio’s current fiscal year, to reduce its Advisory Fee to the extent that the Underlying Fund Expenses attributable to Advisory and Administrative Fees exceed 0.60%. PIMCO may recoup these waivers in 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, is an indirect wholly-owned
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 9 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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):
| | | |
Administrative Class | | 0.60 | % |
Advisor Class | | 0.70 | % |
Class M | | 0.90 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | |
| | | 12/31/2003 | | 06/30/2004 |
Amount Available for Reimbursement | | $ | 53 | | 0 |
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 PIMS 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 PIMS Funds. Under certain circumstances, an Underlying PIMS Funds 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 PIMS Funds until the Adviser determines that it is appropriate to dispose of such securities.
Each of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in certain specified derivative securities, including: interest rate swaps; commodity swaps; credit default swaps; currency swaps; total return swaps; Forward Foreign Currency Contracts; 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. Certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in restricted securities, instruments issued by trusts, partnerships or other issuers, including pass-through certificated representing participation in, or debt instruments backed by, the securities owned by such issuers. There Underlying PIMS Funds also may engage in securities lending, reverse repurchase agreements and dollar roll transactions. In addition, certain of the Underlying PIMS Funds may invest in below-investment grade debt, debt obligations of foreign issuers and stocks of foreign corporations, securities in foreign investment funds or trusts, foreign derivatives securities including future contracts, options, interest rate and currency swap transactions, and various other investment vehicles, each with inherent risks.
The officers and trustees of the Trust also serve as officers and trustees of the Underlying PIMS Funds. Conflicts may arise as these companies seek to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities to both the Portfolio and the Underlying PIMS Funds.
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities for federal income tax purposes is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

6. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have

responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The StocksPLUS Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances substantially all of its assets in S&P 500 derivatives, backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments. |
• | The Portfolio’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, posted a total return of 3.44% for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. U.S. equity market sentiment was generally bullish based on strong analyst forecasts for second quarter earnings, although concerns about potentially destabilizing influences including terrorism, the situation in Iraq, inflation management, and the upcoming election loomed. |
• | In comparison, the Portfolio’s Institutional Class underperformed the S&P 500 Index by returning 3.03% for the same period. |
• | Interest rates rose during the first half of the year, resulting in negative fixed-income returns. While the structural yield advantage provided by non-money market holdings boosted returns, the yield contribution was eclipsed by the sharp rise in rates. |
• | Non-U.S. positions provided important diversification; short and intermediate maturity Eurozone issues outperformed U.S. alternatives amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |
• | Exposure to real return bonds was positive for the first half of the year in general, as these securities benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | Curve strategies detracted from performance, as the Portfolio emphasized one to five year maturities relative to five year and longer maturity instruments. Rates on one to five year yields increased more than yields of five years or longer. |
• | Mortgage exposure provided diversification and incremental yield relative to money markets as the sector benefited from spread narrowings. |
• | Other strategies, including small positions in emerging market bonds, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds, were neutral for performance while adding important diversification. |

For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases(reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.66)%, 0.44%, 0.38% and 0.62% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.05), $0.03, $0.04 and $0.08 in the fiscal years or periods ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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
| | | | |
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $(286,748) and $(1,563,813), and net realized gain by $392,411 and $1,004,989 and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $(105,663) and $558,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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,
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
including interest expense and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months. Expenses that have been waived and may still be reimbursed by the Administrator, to the extent the Portfolio’s annualized total portfolio operating expenses plus the amount so reimbursed does not exceed the operating expense limitation, are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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 shares outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Treasury Index, for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2004, by returning –0.09% versus –0.17%. |
• | Below-Index duration enhanced performance for the first half of the year as interest rates rose; however, an overweight to intermediate maturities negatively impacted the Portfolio, as these rates experienced the most dramatic rate increases. |
• | Modest holdings of longer duration structured mortgages detracted slightly from performance despite decreasing levels of volatility. |
• | An allocation to longer duration corporate securities negatively impacted portfolio performance, as long maturity credit issues lagged Treasuries of similar maturities. |
• | Allocations to real return and municipal bonds helped returns; these less volatile assets outperformed amid rising rates. |
• | A focus on high-quality, intermediate, and long maturity agency bonds was unfavorable for portfolio returns, as the sector’s yield premiums widened relative to Treasuries. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
10 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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 designate 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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.
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 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 the notional amount of principal.
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. There were no reclassification to any period as a result of this change. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Portfolio carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest or send money. |
Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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’s Institutional Class shares was 0.37% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, versus a return of 0.47% for the benchmark Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index during the same period. |
• | Interest rates increased for shorter maturities, as markets anticipated the beginning of a tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve. The Fed met market expectations with a 0.25% rate hike at the end of June. |
• | The Portfolio’s average duration was maintained near one-month, providing for ample liquidity and limiting the price effects from increasing yields. |
• | U.S. issued high quality (A1/P1) commercial paper was emphasized due to attractive yields, limited interest rate sensitivity, and low credit exposure. |
• | The Portfolio invested in high quality U.S. agency paper and short-term fixed and floating rate U.S. corporates in an attempt to boost portfolio income, while limiting credit risk. |
• | Seven-day and thirty-day effective yields were 0.86% and 0.80%, respectively, at June 30, 2004. These yields are competitive with yields on similar duration portfolios. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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.
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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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. 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%.
Servicing Fee. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organizational expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.35% | |
Administrative Class | | 0.50 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Federal Income Tax Matters
At June 30, 2004, the aggregate cost of investments was the same for federal income tax and financial statement purposes. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities for federal income tax purposes is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$ 0 | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
5. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a $.001 par value. Changes in shares of beneficial interest were as follows (shares and amounts in thousands):

6. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.

Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in Fixed Income Securities of issuers located outside the United States, representing at least three foreign countries. |
• | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares returned 0.89% for the six-months ended June 30, 2004, outperforming the 0.59% return of the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Index (Hedged) for the same period. |
• | An underweight to U.S. duration was positive for performance as yields rose given stronger growth and fears of aggressive Fed tightening. |
• | An overweight to Euroland duration relative to benchmark was a positive for relative performance; these yields rose less as Euroland lagged global growth. |
• | An underweight to Japanese government bonds (“JGB”) relative to benchmark was positive for returns. JGB yields rose on strong growth and speculation that the Bank of Japan’s highly accommodative monetary policy stance would soon shift. |
• | Currency strategies detracted from performance. The yen and Canadian dollar retreated as rising U.S. rates forced market participants to unwind leveraged strategies. |
• | Real return bonds added to returns, outperforming more volatile Treasuries of similar duration, as rates rose. |
• | Modest holdings of mortgage securities helped returns, as heavy demand from banks supported the mortgage market. |
• | Tactical strategies to exploit wider swap spreads in the U.S. and Europe were positive, as swap spreads widened given the rapid rise in yields. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Foreign Bond Portfolio (U.S. Dollar-Hedged) (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $46,353 and $26,213, and net realized (loss) by $(52,329) and $(14,876) and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $5,976 and $(11,338) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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%.
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.90 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W.

and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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’s Institutional Class was 0.39% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, versus a return of 0.47% for the benchmark Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index during the same period. |
• | Interest rate strategies including a duration longer than the effective benchmark and yield curve positioning that was broader than benchmark were negative for returns as rates increased during the period. |
• | An emphasis on mortgage securities boosted returns. Heavy demand by banks during the first quarter 2004 and a decline in volatility late in the second quarter supported mortgage performance. |
• | An emphasis on corporate securities was slightly positive. During the first quarter, their yield advantage offset concerns about slower growth and profits, but during the second quarter returns were slightly negative as rates increased. |
• | Emerging market (“EM”) bonds detracted from performance during the period. Heightened new issuance weighed on the sector and leveraged tactical investors sold EM bonds as rates rose. |
• | Short maturity Eurozone issues added value amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Short Sales. The Portfolio may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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.
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.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Portfolio may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBS). SMBS represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated payments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain(loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(6,562) and $(14,282), and net realized gain by $7,256 and $8,419 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(695) and $5,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Real Return Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net 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 6 months ended June 30, 2004, the Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares returned 2.37%, versus 1.88% for the benchmark Lehman Brothers Global Real: U.S. TIPS Index. |
• | For the 6 months, real yields in the U.S. increased by 0.10%, compared to a 0.39% rise for conventional U.S. Treasury issues of similar maturity. |
• | 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 2.59% on June 30, 2004 for the 10-year maturity. This compares to a breakeven yield of 2.31% on December 31, 2003. The 12-month CPI-U change for the period ended June 30, 2004, was 3.22%. |
• | The effective duration of the Portfolio was 6.82 years on June 30, 2004, compared to a duration of 7.51 years for the benchmark; this strategy was positive for performance as real yields rose. |
• | The Portfolio reduced overall account duration through short positions in nominal treasuries. |
• | The Portfolio was overweight shorter maturity TIPS. This was positive for performance compared to the benchmark as the real yield curve steepened. |
• | 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. |
• | Option writing added income to the Portfolio as rates stayed within our forecasted range. |
• | An allocation to emerging market bonds was negative overall for returns, as spreads widened throughout the period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 11 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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.
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. There were no reclassifications to any period presented as a result of this change. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period
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. 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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.60 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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 shares outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, returning 0.46% versus 0.15% for the Index. |
• | The Portfolio’s below-Index duration helped returns, as yields rose over the period. |
• | An emphasis on short/intermediate maturities was negative, as the yield curve flattened in anticipation of Fed tightening. However, this strategy enhanced security returns via “roll down,” or price appreciation, as bonds are revalued at lower yields over time, given the steepness of the yield curve. |
• | Substituting Real Return Bonds (TIPS-Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) for nominal Treasuries was positive as TIPS benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | A mortgage underweight was slightly negative as mortgages outpaced comparable Treasuries; mortgage security selection was positive, however, and more than offset this impact. |
• | The Portfolio’s underweight to corporate securities was slightly positive, as this sector lagged Treasuries modestly on like-duration basis. |
• | Emerging market bonds (“EM”) detracted from performance, as leveraged tactical investors sold EM bonds as rates rose. |
• | Non-U.S. positions were slightly positive, as Eurozone issues outperformed amid expectations for slower growth and lower inflation in Europe. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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 designate 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.
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.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $157,342 and $(31,206), and net realized gain (loss) by $(137,550) and $11,058 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(19,792) and $20,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Administration Fee is charged at the annual rate of 0.25%.
Servicing Fee. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and back overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
| | | | |
16 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.
Please refer to page 2 herein for an explanation of the information presented in the following Expense Example.

†Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s Institutional Class annualized expense ratio of 0.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
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, U.S. issuer, and U.S. dollar-denominated security restrictions. |
• | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, returning 0.43% versus 0.15% for the Index. |
• | The Portfolio’s below-Index duration helped returns, as yields rose over the period. |
• | An emphasis on short/intermediate maturities was negative, as the yield curve flattened in anticipation of Fed tightening. However, this strategy enhanced security returns via “roll down,” or price appreciation, as bonds are revalued at lower yields over time, given the steepness of the yield curve. |
• | Substituting Real Return Bonds (TIPS-Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) for nominal Treasuries was positive as TIPS benefited from strong demand for the inflation protection they provide. |
• | A mortgage underweight was slightly negative, as mortgages outpaced comparable Treasuries; mortgage security selection was positive, however, and more than offset this impact. |
• | The Portfolio’s underweight to corporate securities was slightly positive, as this sector lagged Treasuries modestly on like-duration basis. |

For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of 0.00%, (0.02)%, (0.01)% and (0.28)% and to the net investment income per share of $0.00, $0.00, $0.00 and $(0.03) in the fiscal years or periods ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.
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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 designate 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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 may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which the 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
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
Portfolio may enter into interest rate, total return, forward 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased(decreased) net investment income by $13,839 and $(463), and net realized gain(loss) by $(14,308) and $581 and net change in unrealized appreciation(depreciation) by $469 and $(118) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 Financial Highlights, may differ from the annual portfolio operating expenses per share class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth above.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.65 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so the Portfolio shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 927-4648.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
• | The Low Duration Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 65% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities. |
• | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares returned 0.46% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, outperforming the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index return of –0.08% for the same period. |
• | The Portfolio’s duration was positioned below the benchmark during the period. This hurt returns in the first quarter when rates fell and helped later in the period when market sold off, resulting in an overall neutral effect on performance. |
• | The Portfolio’s broader-than-Index maturity distribution had a positive impact on returns, as maturities within the Index fared the worst during the period. |
• | An emphasis on mortgage-backed securities was positive for performance, as this sector outperformed Treasuries during the period. Positive security selection within the sector further enhanced returns. |
• | The Portfolio’s limited holdings of corporate bonds did not have a significant effect on performance. |
• | A small allocation to emerging market bonds detracted from returns. Leveraged tactical investors sold emerging market bonds as interest rates rose, which negatively impacted this asset class. |
• | Exposure to developed non-U.S. markets, primarily short maturity Eurozone holdings, had a strong positive effect on performance. Eurozone issues benefited from expectations for lower growth and inflation in Europe. |

For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in increases(reductions) to the net investment income ratio of 0.00%, (0.01)%, 0.02% and 0.00% and to the net investment income per share of $0.00, $0.00, $0.00 and $0.00 in the fiscal years or periods ending December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30,2004 (Unaudited)
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. The Portfolio may invest in 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
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,
| | | | |
12 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(415) and $(314), and net realized gain by $348 and $50 and net change in unrealized appreciation by $68 and $264 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. 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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.50% |
Administrative Class | | 0.65% |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |
U.S. Government/Agency | | All Other |
Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |

8. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing” arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.

This material is authorized for use only when preceded or accompanied by the current PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust prospectus.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:
Bond prices were more volatile during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Interest rates rose sharply during the second quarter 2004, causing bonds to give back modest gains from earlier in the year. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index for the high-grade bond market, was nearly flat during the first six months of 2004, returning 0.15% after losing 2.44% during the second quarter. The yield on the benchmark ten-year Treasury closed June 30, 2004 at 4.58%, up 0.75% from April 1, 2004, but up only 0.34% from where it began the six-month period on January 1, 2004.
Continued growth in employment convinced the markets that the Federal Reserve would soon begin a long anticipated tightening cycle. On June 30, 2004, the Fed met market expectations by increasing the federal funds rate 0.25%, which was the first rate increase since June 25, 2003. The central bank had held this rate at 1% for more than a year, which generated negative real short-term rates. And on August 10, 2004, the Fed increased the federal funds rate another 0.25% to 1.50%.
Investors that had profited handsomely from borrowing at low short-term rates and investing in higher-yielding longer maturity bonds surrendered some of those profits towards the latter part of the six-month period. Concern that borrowing rates would rise led investors to liquidate long positions and unwind these trades, which caused bond prices to decrease. However, substantial leverage remained among banks, hedge funds, and other investors, making bond markets somewhat vulnerable to additional Fed rate increases. There were also signs of rising inflation, which fueled anxiety that central banks might continue to raise interest rates.
On the following pages you will find a more complete review of the Portfolio in light of financial market activities as well as specific details about the total return investment performance for the six-month 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

Important Information About the Portfolio
We believe that bond funds have an important role to play in a well diversified investment portfolio. It is important to note, however, that in an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact the performance of most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value. The price volatility of fixed income securities can also increase during periods of rising interest rates resulting in increased losses to a fund. Bond funds and individual bonds with a longer duration (a measure of the expected life of a security) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities or funds with shorter durations. The longer-term performance of most bond funds has benefited from capital gains in part resulting from an extended period of declining interest rates. In the event interest rates increase, these capital gains should not be expected to recur.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks in addition to those described above. Some of these risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: real rate risk, derivative risk, small company risk, foreign security risk, high yield security risk and specific sector investment risks. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of an investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. A Portfolio investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to non-U.S. economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Smaller companies may be more volatile than larger companies and may entail more risk. Concentrating investments in individual sectors may add additional risk and volatility compared to a diversified portfolio.
On the performance summary page in this semi-annual report, the Total Return Investment Performance table measures performance assuming that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay (i) on Portfolio distributions or (ii) the redemption of Portfolio shares.
An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money on investments in the Funds.
The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Portfolio’s Expense Example, which appears on the Portfolio’s individual page in this semi-annual report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for the Portfolio.
Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (Administrative Class only); and other Portfolio expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from 1/1/04 to 6/30/04.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual Performance” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other portfolios. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other portfolios.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different portfolios. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust is distributed by PA Distributors LLC, 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, CT 06902.

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 rated below investment grade but rated at least Caa (subject to a maximum of 5% of total assets in securities rated Caa) by Moody’s or S&P, or, if unrated, determined by PIMCO to be of comparable quality. |
• | The Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares returned 0.20% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to 1.18% for the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB-B Rated Index. |
• | During the semi-annual period, chemical issues outperformed the high yield market by more than 3%, thus the Portfolio’s underweight to the sector hurt performance. |
• | An overweight to telecom, with an emphasis on large-cap issues, was a detriment to relative performance as this sector was one of the worst performers during the period. |
• | Although an overweight to the cable/pay TV sector was a slight detractor to performance, security selection was a strong positive and more than offset the negative impact. |
• | As the airline sector fell lower, due in part to high fuel prices and the threat of terrorism, an emphasis on higher quality secured issues boosted returns. |
• | Modest exposure to emerging market sovereign debt detracted from performance, as this asset class declined approximately 2.25% over the 6-month period. |

(d) | Indicates a period in which, as a result of a change in generally accepted accounting principles, the portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under certain derivative instruments, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a a component of realized gain(loss) in the Statement of Operations. The effect of this reclassification was to (reduce) the net investment income ratio for the period ending June 30, 2004 by (0.09)% and the net investment income per share by $(0.01). For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts, resulting in (reductions) to the net investment income ratio of (0.08)% and (0.11)% and to the net investment income per share of $(0.01) and $(0.01) in the fiscal years or periods ending December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. This change had no impact on the reported net asset value per share for any period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2004 (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 Portfolio offers 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 Portfolio. 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. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including certain fixed income securities which may be valued with reference to securities whose prices are more readily obtainable. 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. The prices of certain portfolio securities or other financial instruments may be determined at a time prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Fair valuation may be used if significant events occur after the close of the relevant markets and prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange that materially affect the values of such securities or financial instruments. Fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term investments, which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. 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, notional principal contracts, certain asset-backed securities, certain futures and forward contracts, tax straddles, 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
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
income and net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
Foreign Currency. The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings 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 or 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.
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, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio’s securities or as a part of an investment strategy. 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.
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 the 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.
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 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.
Options Contracts. The Portfolio may write call and put options on futures, swaps, 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. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments 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, swap, 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, swap, 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, swap, 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
| | | | |
14 | | Semi-Annual Report | | June 30, 2004 |
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, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Payment In-Kind Securities. The Portfolio may invest in payment in-kind securities. Payment-in-kind securities (PIKs) give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require an adjustment in an amount equal to the accrued interest to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
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.
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 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 the 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 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 received by the Portfolio are included as part of realized gain (loss) 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.
As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus, No. 03-11, and related SEC staff guidance, the Portfolio has reclassified periodic payments made or received under swap agreements, which were previously included within miscellaneous income, to a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the prior year financial highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the financial highlights have also been modified accordingly. This reclassification increased (decreased) net investment income by $(360,176), and $(526,777), and net realized gain by $377,876 and $505,063 and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by $(17,699) and $21,714 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. There is no effect on the Portfolio’s net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.
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. and serves as investment adviser (the “Adviser”) to the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
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. PA Distributors LLC (“PAD”), formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC, 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 was 0.15% during current fiscal year.
Expenses. The Trust 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 and bank overdraft charges; (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 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 organization expenses and Trustee fees cause the actual expense ratio to rise above the rates disclosed in the then-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 | | 0.60 | % |
Administrative Class | | 0.75 | % |
PIMCO may be reimbursed for these waived amounts in future periods, not to exceed thirty-six months.
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. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The length of time a Portfolio has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. A change in the securities held by a Portfolio is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Portfolio may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover (e.g., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates). The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments) for the period ended June 30, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | |

9. Regulatory and Litigation Matters
On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey (“New Jersey AG”) filed a complaint against Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. (“ADAM”), PA Distributors LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Distributors LLC) (“PAD”), PEA Capital LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Equity Advisors LLC) (“PEA”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) in connection with its investigation into market timing and late trading. The complaint contends that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activity took place in funds in the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (“MMS Funds”) and the PIMCO Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series (“PIMS Funds”). On June 1, 2004, the New Jersey AG dismissed PIMCO from the lawsuit.
On the same day as the dismissal of PIMCO from the lawsuit, the New Jersey AG announced that it had reached a settlement agreement with the remaining defendants (“New Jersey Settlement”). In the New Jersey Settlement, ADAM, PAD and PEA agreed, while neither admitting nor denying the allegations or conclusions of law, to: (i) pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further enforcement initiatives; and (ii) implement certain changes in corporate governance.
On May 6, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York alleging that PA Fund Management LLC (formerly known as PIMCO Advisors Fund Management LLC) (“PAFM”), PEA, PAD, Stephen J. Treadway (at the time, the chief executive officer of PAFM and PAD as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the MMS Funds) and Kenneth W. Corba (the former chief executive officer of PEA and former portfolio manager of the PEA Growth and PEA Growth & Income Funds) had, among other things, violated and/or aided and abetted violations of, various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged “market timing”
| | | | |
June 30, 2004 | | Semi-Annual Report | | 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)
June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)
arrangements that improperly allowed certain hedge funds to engage in “market timing” in the PEA Growth Fund, the PEA Opportunity Fund, the PEA Innovation Fund, and the PEA Target Fund. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest, monetary penalties, and an order permanently enjoining the defendants from serving as investment advisers, principal underwriters, officers, directors, or members of any advisory boards to any registered investment companies.
On February 20, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PAD, PIMCO, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PIMCO Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Inc. and certain other defendants, alleging that inappropriate market timing activity by certain shareholders caused financial injury to the shareholders of those Funds.
The following additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed against the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds and/or their affiliates, each related to alleged market-timing activity in funds advised by PIMCO or its affiliates: (1) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on February 27, 2004 (naming as defendants ADAM, PAD, PEA, the PIMS Funds, the MMS Funds, the Trust, PCM and certain other parties); (2) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 4, 2004 (naming as defendants PIMCO, ADAM, PEA and PAD); (3) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, 2004 (naming PIMCO, PAD and certain of their affiliates as defendants); (4) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, on March 15, 2004 (naming PIMCO as the defendant); (5) two separate lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMCO High Yield Fund and the PIMCO Money Market Fund, respectively (each naming ADAM, PAFM and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMCO Funds as the nominal defendant); (6) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also on March 22, 2004, brought derivatively on behalf of the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD and certain other parties as defendants, and the PIMS Funds and the MMS Funds as nominal defendants); (7) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 20, 2004 (naming ADAM, PAD, the PIMS Funds and certain other parties as defendants); and (8) a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on April 28, 2004 (naming ADAM, PIMCO, PAD, PEA and certain other parties as defendants, and the “PIMCO Funds” as nominal defendants). Each complaint for the foregoing putative class actions alleges, among other things, that inappropriate trading by shareholders engaged in market timing activities took place in certain of the funds advised by PIMCO, and each complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
On February 17, 2004, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of certain shareholders of the PIMCO Funds against ADAM, PEA, PIMCO, PIMS Funds, MMS Funds and certain other defendants, alleging excessive investment advisory fees and the use of brokerage commissions to pay for distribution of fund shares. Three similar putative class action lawsuits were subsequently filed, each in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on March 1, 2004, April 23, 2004 and May 20, 2004, respectively.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO, ADAM and/or Mr. Treadway, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the SEC, be barred from serving as an investment adviser/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Trust. ADAM and certain of its subsidiaries have responded to inquiries from the SEC concerning the status of the New Jersey Settlement under Section 9(a). If any of PAFM, PEA, PAD, PIMCO or ADAM were subject to an injunction, each of these entities and their affiliates could in turn seek exemptive relief from the SEC, as contemplated by the 1940 Act. There is no assurance, however, that such exemptive relief would be granted. The SEC also has the power by order to prohibit PAFM, PEA, PAD and PIMCO from serving as investment advisers and underwriters, if the SEC finds that such entities willfully violated the federal securities laws in connection with the allegations discussed above or aided or abetted such violations.
PIMCO, PAD and the Trust believe that these developments will not have a material adverse effect on the Portfolios or on PIMCO’s, or PAD’s ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution services on behalf of the Portfolios.
